Je suis vivant! dit le Seigneur, l'Eternel, parce que mes brebis sont au pillage et qu'elles sont devenues la proie de toutes les bêtes des champs, faute de pasteur, parce que mes pasteurs ne prenaient aucun souci de mes brebis, qu'ils se paissaient eux-mêmes, et ne faisaient point paître mes brebis, -
Like other descriptions of time in the Word, "a day" or a number of "days" describe a spiritual state rather than our natural concept of time. A spiritual "day" describes a state of mind or a state in our relationship with the Lord rather than a 12-hour or 24-hour span of natural time. "Day" describes a state in which we are turned toward the Lord, and are receiving light (which is truth) and heat (which is a desire for good) from the Lord.
