The Sixth Day
Richard A. Bradley
Genesis 1:26-31
"26 Then God said, ''Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.'' 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, ''Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.'' 29 And God said, ''See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. 30 Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food''; and it was so. 31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day. "
Every day of the six days of creation was a special day. What about those days? How long were they? Since the Scriptures were written for our benefit and the only day we're familiar with is a 24 hr. day based on the rotation of the earth then the only logical answer is that the entire universe was created in six 24 hr. days. Why try to explain away creation as happening over eons of time? Is God not great enough to blink His eye and cause all the stars to align? He is!
But of the six days of creation we humans have the most interest in the sixth day. This is when we came into being. Look at some thoughts about the sixth day.
