"But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with Ea'huah as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Ea'huah is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
But the day of the Ea'huah will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." [2nd Peter 3:8-10]
When Peter mentions a day being as a thousand years, he is partially referencing a passage in Psalms;
"For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night." [Psalms 90:4]
The children of Israel divide a day into eight three hour watches (8X3=24hrs);
Though no Man knows the Day or Hour, but the Father, Y'shua did say that a Faithful Steward would be able to ascertain which Watch in the the night that he would return.
The parable of five wise, and five foolish reveal that he shall return during the third Watch specifically from Midnight to Three am.
Which also reminds me of what David said in Psalms;
"At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments." [Psalms 119:62]
Then of course there is the manner in which the number three follows Christ from the craddle unto the grave.
If he rose on the third day, then it stands to reason he will return sometime in the third millennium, it was still dark before sunrise when he rose from his tomb, therefore I suspect no one will recognize him when he initially appears, not until the sun rises.
