Bible Question (short): Tim...? |
Question (full): Hello Tim, I hope you are well. Thank God for your reply! Tim I really hope you are on line at the moment so that I can chat with you. My dilema here is that 2:1 says '...were completed, and all their hosts. ie, does this mean all of us too? 2:2 says that God rested not man. What does the Bible say about man entering God's rest? 2:3 Did God then go back to working His creation after the seventh day? 2:4 Moses only uses this type of sentence as an intro to a list or record of history (well I haven't yet been able to find evidence that this sentence is used at the end of what it refers to so at this point I am assuming that v4 refers to the story which follows it.) 2:5 begins to tell the account of day 6 but I cannot find an obvious end to this account, ie. to indicate we are now looking at the time after God's rest day. And so Tim, looking at all these I am trying to work out if it is feasible for us to think that we are still in the sixth day of creation. I have prayed for an answer and then spent all day searching commentaries with no luck. My first thought was: no way, as God says that all is good and so it must be the time before satan puts in his two bob in chapter 3. But then I thought, isn't all good only at the end of time? In a nut shell, is it possible that the bulk of the Bible is the story of day 6, God's creation of man? I sincerely hope this all makes some sense to you. I could not explain myself to my friend here, so hopefully you can make sense. Any ideas? Thanks again, deb |
