Welcome

Six Days of Creation

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Gen. 1:1

Creation Day 1 - Light 1:1-5 Day 2 - Heavens 1:6-8 Day 3 - Earth, vegetation 1:9-13 Day 4 - Sun, Moon, Stars 1:14-19 Day 5 - Fish, Birds 1:20-23 Day 6 - Land animals, Man 1:24-31 Were these 24 hour solar days? Or were they long periods of time ?

1 “Evening and Morning” Hebrew word “Day” - “Yom” Day age - “Yamin” Age - “Olam” If it was “dor” and “Yom” Hebrew word “Day” - “Yom” = 24 hrs.

A day can mean a long period of time. In George Washington’s day men used flintlock rifles. Only if the context permits! On the first day of my vacation from morning to evening I painted my house.

2 “Age of Adam” Gen. 1:26 - Created on day 6 Lived through day 6 and day 7 Lived in Garden then expelled Had children Gen. 5:5 - Adam lived 930 years

Gen. 5:5 - Adam lived 930 years The days of Genesis one could not have been long periods of time, millions of years, but were 24 hour solar days.

3 “Teaching of Jesus” Matt. 19:4 “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,’” They were made at the beginning not millions of years after the beginning.

The days Were 24 hour days

4 “Sabbath day Rest” God rested on the 7th day - Gen.2:2 Ex. 20:11 “For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.”

The Sabbath Rest was Based on the 7th day. The 7th day was a literal 24 hour day like the six Other days.

Accept or Reject the Bible We cannot compromise Accept or Reject the Bible

They were literal 24 hour days Six Days of Creation They were literal 24 hour days

Exodus 20:11 “For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day.
