What the eyes can't see 26

Answer these questions for yourself. How old would the world today be if a thousand years was but a day? How old would Adam be if a day was a thousand years? Gen 5:5 How long was Jonah in the belly of the fish? Mat 12:40 On which day did Christ arise from the grave? What am I trying to get at here? Read the following passage.Eze 31:1 In the eleventh year, in the third month on the first day, the word of the LORD came to me: Well simply put a lot of trouble seems to have gone into the meaning of the word “Day” when Months,Years as well as seasons and hours can be extrapolated from it .The word “Day” appears 1287 times in the NIV translation and I urge you to look up and read the passages and decide for yourself what the meaning of the word Day is. (Gen 1:5 -Gen 19:34) Why Six Days? Well it seems God had a plan. Our creator the one and only living God could have done it all in the blink of an eye, so why take so long? The answer is given to us in Exd 20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.This is how God gave man the seven day week, without scripture there is no basis for a seven day week.

Why then do some “Christians” doubt the time span of a day as in Genesis? There are two major contributors to this belief namely “The gap theory” and then “Macro Evolution” a so called proven scientific theory. Let’s take a brief look at both “Theories” The gap theory is the idea that between the first two verses of the Bible (Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2) there was a great gap in time. The theory goes roughly like this: God created the universe billions of years ago. Then the geological ages proposed by evolutionists took place over billions of years of earth's history. Life-forms arose during that time and are now preserved in the fossil record, and these fossils allegedly verify that the geological ages took place. At the end of the geological ages, Satan rebelled in Heaven and many angels followed him. God then cast Satan down to earth, the earth underwent a huge disaster or cataclysm, and it was left without form and void, with darkness on the face of the deep (as described in Genesis 1:2). God then re-created the earth in the six literal days of creation described in the first chapter of Genesis.
