Dear Readers,

Each of God's Days in Genesis is NOT 24 hours since the word Days comes from the Hebrew word “Yowm” which can mean 12 or 24 hours, a lifetime or an Eternity.

A Day in Genesis is a period of labor and God has ONLY 6 periods of labor when He is working to make His perfect Heaven and fill it with perfect mankind. And the the 7th Day jas no no ending which means Eternity

A Yowm is a period of Labor or work when God is doing His work of creating. There is NO time limit or number of days, years, etc.

A good example is the Scriptural Fact that TODAY remains the 6th Creative Day and this Day will NOT end until AFTER our Cosmos is burned which is AFTER Jesus rules and reigns on Earth for a thousand years. Revelation 20:5

Since, God continues to create sinners in Christ, it means that we still live today at Gen 1:27 because God is STILL creating Adam (mankind) in Christ. We will NOT advance to the prophecy of Gen 1:28-31 until AFTER Jesus returns.

God bless

Wow Seve, this is exactly how I understand Genesis 1 creation, Gods Days are from when He starts to do, or create one thing, and then ends when He's finished with that project. This, like you said could take anywhere from one of our present solar days, to a million years. God is Eternal, outside of time, so He is not governed by "time", but by the start, and finish of His tasks.

Besides, Jesus even said when he was accused of braking the Sabbath, that his Father is always working, and the Pharisees do work also if their ox was to fall into a ditch.

God bless you.

PS
I do disagree with your Jesus-is-God (Trinity) interpretation though. How can God/Infinite/Eternal be begotten?

Seve, You Said: "Each of God's Days in Genesis is NOT 24 hours since the word Days comes from the Hebrew word “Yowm” which can mean 12 or 24 hours, a lifetime or an Eternity."

Seve you are among many who use "yom" as a Day unknowing that it can be translated to 54 other words. However, in the Bible, out of the 1480 times "yom" is used, 1181 of them refer to DAY in the preceding context. In addition, if a number is used with "yom" the result is ALWAYS a LITERAL day.

However, the above may be informative but does not confirm that each day was 24 hours??

In Exodus, God wrote in stone by His own Finger, the Ten Commandments He gave to Moses.

Exodus 20:11.."For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."

Here we are told by GOD, to keep the sabbath day holy.

The Hebrew Sabbath Day is the seventh day of the week (God given) and a 24 hour day. This corresponds directly to the seventh day,"wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day,". Thereby, the other six Literal days are also 24 hour in length.

For in Exodus 20:10 we see: "But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God:.........."

This above has been accepted by the majority of scholars as the definition of Creation Days are: 24 hour in length.

Seve, you are going to have to read the Bible literally and accept the Hebrew/Greek translations as being what GOD wanted us to know or NOT!

It is your Choice!
