Forgive me for jumping in here. On what basis or authority do you conclude that "the Author of Hebrews uses the creation account as allegory?" The text does not explictly state that it is being allegorical. The commentators that I have access to do not look at it this way. The orthodox position, so far as I can discern, does not state this. There are no other Biblical sources that point us to this conclusion. On what do you base this conclusion, please? |

The creation states that the world was created in 7 days. The account given in Hebrews declares that we have not yet entered the seventh day. It also concludes us to be currently in the sixth day. What about that is not an allegory of the 7-day account of complete creation from the foundation of the world in Genesis? I base this conclusion on the text in Hebrews 3:5-4:11. The Author is presenting an allegory of creation for our instruction towards steadfastness in our salvation. Either that, or the Author is indicating unequivocaly that the creation did not occur in seven twenty-four hour "days." | ||||||
