    I have a question. If 1yr of GODs time = 1000yrs mans time why would Genesis ch 1 mean that GOD created the earth in 6 days?

    A day unto the LORD,

    Genesis 1:5, in chronological order of the Bible, maybe not exactly Chronological of actual dates of oldest to newest. 1st reference of day is evening & morning 1st day. Also light day & darkness night. Scientificly can be referenced to earths rotation being a day, approximately 24 hrs. That also in itself isn't completely finite, that's why we have time changes throughout the year spring & fall & leap-year in addition. In that day of creation was the determination as the rotation of the earth? Interestingly the sun & moon were not yet created, Genesis 1:16, therefore was the light from GOD? It does not specify the rotation nor exact hours. Yet classified as "the first day"

    Genesis 2:4, it is quoted "in the day that the LORD God made the earth, and the heavens" as you ask? Here may possibly be the 1st time we can differentiate day being a moment of time, because the previous chapter already clarified/classified 1st day, 2nd day, etc.

    Genesis 2:17, Genesis 3:5,

    Genesis 3:8, this may be the perfect example of clearly being 1 actual moment of a 24hr day. It would be interesting to know the different words used for each example from ealier translations & languages. To really study this more thoroughly.

    Genesis 3:17 appears to be the 1st time in our translation & English wording that day is plural in multiple yet it was assumed previous as multiple yet as a single moment therefore classified as "a day" Genesis 5:2,

    Again we see it Genesis 5:4,5,

    Going further outside of Genesis; Luke 6:22-23, also being a moment not necessarily 1 rotation of earth. Luke 10:12, Luke 12:28, Luke 12:46, Luke 17:24, Revelation 6:17,

    2 Peter 3:8,10, reading in context 2 Peter 3,

    1 Corinthians 13:9-13, Colossians 1:26, there are principles here that help us understand we don't know everything here on earth in the flesh.

    Hopefully this is helpful

    It might help your studies to get

    A King James Reference Bible WITH center of EACH page, Reference columns.

    Each verse may have other scriptures in later pages that shed light on the verse you are currently studying. More info, future tie-in's, past tie-in's; fulfilled prophesies.

    Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible. He'd be writing along and might have been interrupted? He was writing on scrolls. In some chapters the continuity is flowing; it picks up another idea, then it refers backward.

    I always advise to take notes in Genesis and leave room for your own references. Read all the Geneologies.

    There is no such thing as evolution which is what Satan tries to get us confused with.

    By Genesis 3:15, the Godheads' plan to introduce the SON OF MAN, was activated.

    Satan Took Adams dominion. Adam could have evicted Satan right then__but he protected Eve, and lost it. What we miss is that Satan WAS NOT HUMAN. He had to get permission from God, every time. Job 1.

    If you stand back a little and look at what God had purposed already. He readied the earth. Provided creatures and food for all. Formed Adam to have dominion over all of it. Of course satan was jealous. But he was a snake and crafty. Isa.14 says he's short and covered in snakes, with a I WILL bad attitude.

    Generations flow by and Creation waited for Jesus to be born. He had to be born Human. The whole Bible is Gods gift to you. Read often. You'll see the patience of God.

    Jesus as a human, shed his blood over humanity and the earth; to win back dominion and authority over evil. He gives that to US HUMANS.

    Antichrist will submit to be possessed by Satan. Losing his own soul.

    We are living in exciting times! May we all follow Jesus to that Final Battle! Hallelujah to our King. He's taking us to heaven soon; CAUGHT UP in the clouds. Be Ready & look for the sign: abomination of desolation in Jerusalem.
