Bible Question: Way to explain the moon created on day 4. |
Bible Answer: On the fourth day when God said “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens,” He was allowing those lights to become visible from the surface of the earth, not to just divide the day from the night, but also as signs for the seasons and for days and years. The creation of the sun, moon and stars as a source of the light was an expansion of what God had created “in the beginning.” “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” “In the beginning” is the period of time before the first day. God allowed filtered light upon the surface of the earth on the first day. He “let there be light,” He did not create light on the first day or the fourth day. There could not be a first day until God allowed the light to reach the surface of the earth because a day consisted of an evening and a morning. For your consideration, Holmes |
