Literal #6Day #Creation = foundation
of #everything. The slight
"variations" from God's accounting of the literal 6-day Creation are lies!
Okay, so let's
just start at the basics here in Genesis 1.
Shall we do a
brief Hebrew review? In this case, it's very important. Curious, have you heard
of the Hebrew word 'yom'? Some have. Some have not. Either way, it is an
important word - it's a prominent Hebrew word for 'day' (one of two I think).
The word 'yom' only refers to a literal 24 hour day.
Now, that's a
start, but, check out this next part.
Let's look at Day
1
"God called the
light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning
were the first day." (Genesis 1:5) Notice there are 3 literal
Hebrew words there that show that the first day was a literal day -
1)light/darkness, 2)evening/morning - the Hebrew delineation of a day - evening
first, then morning, and 3)first day - also literal for one day. ~ that is day
one and that's how the Hebrew ends that verse "yom-day one"
Now for day 2 -
"And
God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second
day." (Genesis 1:8) Again, same thing ~ evening/morning,
yom/day two
Now for day 3 -
"So the
evening and the morning were the third day." (Genesis 1:13)
again, evening and morning yom/day three
Now for day 4 -
"So the
evening and the morning were the fourth day." (Genesis 1:19)
Again, same thing - evening morning, yom/day four
Now for day 5 -
"So the
evening and the morning were the fifth day." (Genesis 1:23)
Again, evening/morning, yom/day five
Now for day 6 -
"Then
God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the
evening and the morning were the sixth day." (Genesis 1:31)
Again, evening/morning, yom/day six
Notice also that
everything God had created was "good" no death or anything bad at all in
that word, the Hebrew word means 'good' in the widest sense of the word. So,
everything was perfect, no gap theory fits in this literal text.
Now, one more
note and then I'd like your feedback - if the word 'yom' only means a 24/hour
literal day in the rest of the Old Testament, then why not here as well?
One example:
"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." (Exodus 20:11) one of many
examples - the plural word for yom is there - again literal 24/hour day.
If God's Word can
be trusted, it has to be taken literally - only. And, I know God's Word can be
trusted literally - archeology, genuine science, and historical accounts prove
that - not that He needs that, but they do prove that God's Word can be and
must be trusted literally. And, since we can trust it literally, that also
means we had better keep growing in understanding and obeying it literally, so
we aren't ashamed when we see Him face to Face.
So, back to the
beginning and Creation. Genesis isnt the only place where God describes how He
created everything in six literal days. In the giving the 10 Commandments, God
gave it - we'll look at that in just a minute.
Okay, so back to
Genesis 1. In Genesis 1, for each of the 6 days of creation and the seventh day
of rest, we see the Hebrew word yom which means a literal day. Along with
that word, we see a number 1st yom, 2nd yom, etc. In Hebrew, this emphasizes
that these are literal days. And then, to make it even more clear, God adds evening and
morning was the ___ day. The phrase evening and morning also
clearly emphasizes that these are literal days not eons. God makes it clear,
here in Genesis, that He made everything out of nothing in six literal days
and He makes that clear by stating it 3 ways for each of the 6 days of
creation. Evolution cannot fit in a literal interpretation of Genesis. But,
neither can evolution (in any form) fit in the rest of the Bible. Here are a
few clear verses that shows this:
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. (Exodus 20:11)
'It is a sign
between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made
the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.'
(Exodus 31:17) The Hebrew word yom is also used here in these verses in
Exodus meaning a literal day.
By faith we
understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things
which are seen were not made of things which are visible. (Hebrews
11:3) ~ This verse highlights that we take our Creators Word by faith having
not seen it, but seeing the evidence and believing His trustworthy word.
What evidence do
we have to believe that we should (even must) take Gods Word literally? Here
are some key verses:
And so we have
the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines
in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;
knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private
interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God
spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. (2nd Peter 1:19-21)
For assuredly,
I say to you, till Heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no
means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. (Matthew 5:18)
Do not add to
His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar. (Proverbs
30:6)
~ I pray this
strengthens your faith in Gods Word.
These verses show
that both they lying religion of evolution, and the "gap theory" are
both the same problem - they mock God's literal Word. And it's just one key
reason why I seek to make and train the common person (man, woman, child) a
trained scholar in God's Word - one-step-at-a-time, one life at a time. Because
we need every honest Christian to be a better scholar than the pagan clergy who
pretend to be "Christian leaders".
Now what are your
thoughts? Verses that show differently?
