Bible Note: Hi Tim Da.8:14 4And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. Reads Unto two thousand and three hundred evening(ereb)and morning(boqer). Gen.1:5 And the evening and the morning were the first day. or the evening(ereb)and the morning(boqer) were the first day.Now if you say that the evening and the morning in Da.8:14 is evenings and mornings you also have to say that the evening and the morning in Gen.1:5 is evenings and mornings because they have the same meanings (ereb) and (boqer).No matter how you look at it the day is much more then 24hrs. As I have already said God showed me that I was putting a limit of time on Him by making a day a thousand years,you to fall into this error by making a day a 24hr day. When we make the day in Gen.1:5 a 24hr day we are making Gods word conform to our idea of what a day is instead of comforming to Gods idea of a day is. Which no man can tell for God dwells without time. Also remember that the sun,moon and stars were not created till the forth day,and that these were given for days ,seasons,years etc.now because these were not given till the forth day this shows us that God did not look at a day as 24hrs or He would have created them on the first day. to me this is a clear statement that God did created the days in His time and not our understanding of time. Therefore if you make it a 24hr day you make God dwell in time and we know that He does not,for He is timeless.I hope youcan see my meaning because as God is timeless we cannot restrict Him to the time it took to create the world. If it took Him 10,000,000yrs to Him it would be but a day.God bless,you brother in the Lord Scott |
