A Literal 24 Hours or Much More, Part 2

A Literal 24 Hours or Much More, Part 2

The Bible does not divulge the exact length of each creative day, but there are indications that each of the creative days was 7,000 years in length. Although there are those who would have us believe that the “days” of creation were literal twenty-four-hour days they were not; they were eras of time, each era having an obscure dark beginning, described as “EVENING,” and a bright ending of the accomplished project, described as “MORNING.” In accordance with this, it should…

A Literal 24 Hours or Much More, Part 1

The Days of Creation The whole premise behind the idea that each of the creative “days” were of a literal 24 hour duration is unfounded, it is based upon the erroneous assumption that God Himself is subject to time, to the same time restraints he placed upon man. With God time is not reckoned as it is with us (See Psa 90:4; 2 Pet 3:8). God is immortal, eternal without beginning of days or ending and therefore not subject to…

THE SIXTH DAY (The Year of the World 11,128 B.C.) “And God said: Let the Earth bring forth living soul after its kind, cattle and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind: and it was so … and God saw that it was good.

THE FIFTH DAY (The Year of the World 18,128 B.C.) “And God said: Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures [living souls], and let winged things wing above the earth in the open expanse of heaven. And God created the great monsters, and every living creature that glided swiftly, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged thing after its kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, be fruitful,…

A recap to bring us up to speed: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” We are told that the qualifying “the” does not appear in the Hebrew, and that hence a more accurate translation would be “a beginning.” “Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep.” At first the earth was a mass or molten ball of energy, and as an earth it was as yet, unformed, and…

According to orthodoxy, most of the coal existing in the world today formed approximately 300 million years ago, from the remains of trees and other vegetation. These remains were trapped on the bottom of swamps, accumulating layer after layer and creating a dense material called peat. As this peat was buried under more and more ground, the high temperatures and pressure transformed it into coal. The three essential elements necessary to the production of coal are, heat, pressure, and time….

THE THIRD DAY (The Year of the World 32,128 B.C.) “And God said: Let the waters under the heavens be collected unto one place, and let the dry land appear, and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth [soil — surface of the ground] and the reservoir of the waters called he Seas, and God saw that it was good. And God said: Let the earth bring forth tender sprout-age, the herb yielding seed after its kind…

THE SECOND DAY (The Year of the World 39,128 B.C.) “Then God said, “Let there be a firmament [atmosphere] in the midst [between] the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament [the ocean] from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so.  And God called the firmament *Heaven. So the evening and the morning were THE SECOND DAY.” In this era…

The First Day (The Year of the World 46,128 B.C.) The creative days of Genesis were actually epoch days consisting of geologic periods, most logically of equal lengths. It is unnecessary to insist that these days were only 24 hours since the same word for “day” (Hebrew “yom”) is elsewhere used to denote longer periods also termed a “day”: Note Psa 95:8, “the day of temptation in the wilderness” (40 years); Gen 2:4, “in the day that … God made…
