Actually, in my studies, a day is exactly that.. a day.. begins at sunrise and has 12 hours attached to it as our Savior said himself, are there not twelve hours in a day.
The night have watches, not hours, and was separated at Creation to be different from the day.
I think the only feast that begins at sundown is atonement according o Scripture, so they feel the hunger of that fast in the affliction.
I used to also think as Jews said, a day began at sundown,but then Scripture popped out to me on this study and when it was written that He blessed the seventh ‘day’, and not the sixth night..
And the story of manna during the day helped me confirm this...
And wow, evening and morning in Genesis when I studied took on an entirely new meaning when English and man’s understanding and concepts and definitions is ignored..
Light has always comes first.. even at dusk, light was there first.
My study just confirms how much mercy and grace we all need because this world is getting closer to God...
But we are all conditioned to accept midnight as the start of the day because we were taught this.. I pray Scripture becomes our guide and we truly follow Him in everything, not our own cultures norms and ‘traditions’ of men....
Jonah Code - Ep 1 - By Michael Rood
I follow the observation that a day begins and sunset and continues until sunset on the following evening according to scripture.
“And the evening and the morning were the first day”.
“In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord’s passover.”
“Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.”
I do not get into parsing out days and nights or parts of days and parts of nights in determining what constitutes a ‘day’. Even to even works for me.
I’ll leave the rest to tradition.
