3 | 24 hour days are based on what? | Gen 1:2 | nimrod2 | 43448 | ||
I would think it is a valid question. Our 24 hour day/night periods are based on the rotation of the earth on its axis as it spins around in orbit of the sun. The sun being the "greater" light while the moon and the stars of course represent the "lesser" light to govern the night. Both very important factors. I believe in the Bible but I do not treat it as a scienctific textbook, rather the opposite, it is to guide me spiritually and morally. How can anyone be sure how long the first three creation days were? For that matter, who says that day 7 did end? I have seen evidence that the Hebrew word for day could also mean age or generation. |

4 | 24 hour days are based on what? | Gen 1:2 | Scribe | 43470 | ||
The statement is made from the first day.. evening and morning were the first day. This is written at a time after the creation by Moses. Just as when Moses stated ... that Cain dwelt in the land of Nod, not that it was called Nod when Cain dwelt in it. It became Nod much much later. But Moses was just identifying the area. Just as if you said my Indian forefathers dwelt in Dallas, not that it was caled Dallas when they were there. So this reference also is from Moses that the evening and the morning were the first day when as yet there was no son or moon. However by making the statment the evening and the morning were the first day he is making it clear beyond all question that it was not ages or eons that is meant but an evening and a morning. May God bless you in your study of His Word. |
