"And the evening and the morning were the fifth day."
While we are considering 7 days (or for clarity sake let us put these as articles instead, breaking up the everlasting contract between God and Man. What is the creation account then: We have the rationale and this verse explains,"All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.") God blessed the association of marine and land animals with with man to which we shall come anon.(Ge.1:28)
Adam as a steward is on a firmer ground since he is a stand in for the Son. The emblem of the slain Lamb establishes credentials of the Lamb of God who as the Son of man came from the loins of King David. Prophet Jeremiah had predicted "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast."(Je.31:27) The word of God had created a continuity in the Law of Moses to this emblem so the remnant of the nation of israel shall be acceptable,'I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts" (He.8:10). It is not without reason that the throne in the eternity is known as the Throne of God and of the Lamb. This association stands as a sign for 'the pleasure of His Will'. God blessed all His creation in his Son. The four beasts as memorial in heaven is another.
In the Law of Moses five signifies this association.(Ex.22:1) If one steals the ox of another he gives five oxen by way of making amends . The rationale is that a man and the beast which is his livelihood is considered as one. At the end of the Book of Jonah we have this line, "And should not I spare Nineveh; and also much cattle?"( Jonah 4:11)
Number Four is a command number for the Word become flesh; Number Five commemorates the glory of God in his creative faith supplied everything needful for life and godliness
