All is as one day with God

In the Book of Mormon Alma teaches his son, Corianton, about the resurrection.  God knows when the resurrection will occur, he says. It is not important that we know.  In verse 8 Alma speaks about how God measures time.  "All is one day with God," he says. Only men measure time.

"Now whether there is more than one time appointed for men to rise it mattereth not; for all do not die at once, and this mattereth not; all is as one day with God, and time only is measured unto men" (Alma 40:8).

The book of Genesis in the Bible and Abraham and Moses in the Pearl of Great Price tell about the creation. "In six days the Lord made heaven and earth" (Ex. 31: 17 ; D&C 77: 12).

The Apostle Peter taught that one day for God is like a thousand years. "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day" (2 Pet. 3: 8).

Whether it took six days or six thousand years or millions of years to create the earth, it doesn't matter for God doesn't measure time the same way we do.  "All is as one day with God."
