We can draw from Peter’s words is that God is patient because he desires all to attain to repentance. Those who stubbornly refuse to turn back from their bad ways face execution at the hand of Jehovah. However, God finds no pleasure in the death of the wicked one. Rather, he delights to see people repent, turn back from their bad ways, and keep living. (Ezekiel 33:11) Consequently, he is exercising patience and is having the good news declared in all the earth so that people may have every opportunity to live.What a delight that will be! Gone will be the things that cause so much sorrow—strife, violence, poverty, crime, sickness, and even death. People will live in perfect peace and unity under the loving rule of God’s Kingdom. How we yearn for that Paradise!

CHRIST JESUS WILL REIGN 1000 YEARS
The bible gives the time after Adam, here at 2007 after Christ, is year 6073.
Christ Jesus reign is 1000 years. Now we have a very good indication of time with God.
The bible gives real addition time to Daniel [ some prophecy comes to pass in the meanwhile ], but the time is clear and beyond doubt.
At year 3460, 1804 yrs aft-flood, 907 years after Moses dies, there's no 420
year old temple by Solomon who died 391 years ago, the Promised Land is
desolate, no Judah kings, all are captive to Babylon World Empire #3, and it is 606 before Christ will be in Rome world Empire #6. Books now written:
Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel 1:2; Daniel [633 ], 606 B. C. [ 533 B. C. ];
At yr 3460, Daniel gives 2520 yrs Dan.12:1-13 [ Rev.12:7-12; Michael & Satan in time of the end ]; Matt.13:37-39; 24:3,7,14,15 [ Sower & kingdom gospel in
time of the end ]; The raised up to be with Jesus John 6:39,40,44; 14:3; Mark 13:27; 1Thes.4:15-17; as his heavenly is done in the time of the end ]; So at
2007 after Christ and 93 years into the end times has passed in prophecy.
Cyrus, Ezra 1:1-3; world Empire #4, 536 B. C.
At yr 2513, O.T. 1110 yrs, 39 books, many write, done 443 before Christ.
Greece world Empire #5, 336 B. C. Matt.1:1-17; Last 14 generations. So now at 2007 after Jesus, we have examined time passed.
Eph.2:7; 3; 21; The world with Jesus is without end. John 3:16; 17:3.17;
2Pet.3:13; Rev.21:1-5; All is made as new as before Eden.

There is no time with God. Peter was using a literary construction to indicate this. To God the past, present and future, are all the present to Him.

Most of the time I wish He would just come back, now, but I am also thankful that He waited patiently for me to repent. We all need to be patient for His return, we do not want anyone to go to hell.

To me how we perceive and try to measure time is a human concept. To a being that is omnipresent they would exist in all points in space and time. Past, present, and future would be irrelevant. To us he existed before the creation of the universe and will continue after it is gone. To him I would assume that time, as we perceive it, is something that can be traversed as we would merely "think" of what happened yesterday or what will happen tomorrow.

faith in God is an substantial element. while i wished God the main while circumstances for me have been particularly undesirable God replied my prayers. while My relatives replaced into struggling with and abusing me God have been given me out of that subject and right into a miles extra beneficial place. i'm now married and that i continuously wished a sprint woman. I prayed and that i replaced into sent a suited little woman. God is astounding, in case you call and pray for Jesus and your in desire of aid, he listens to each prayer.

That verse in Psalms is just a metaphor, not an actual 1,000 years.
