Amen. I heard some teaching on the use of the word “day” in the Bible. The word for day in the Creation account (yom) is the same word used in other passages that, where those other passages are concerned, day (yom) was referring to a 24 hour period of time. I think God, a being marked by consistency, uses the very word He intends to use, to suggest the very meaning He intends for us to understand. He created the Earth, and everything in it in 6 days. He is intending for us to understand that His creation of things was recorded in blocks of specific time—and that time would be understood (someday) by His creation as they would experience it (a single day, 24 hours) throughout their lives. God, being a God whose utmost desire is to see His fallen creatures saved, would want them to see Him in every aspect of creation, including time. He sets the pattern for the people of Israel with creation (the 6 days of work, the 7th a day of rest). He sets the pattern for the church (Christ is buried on the seventh day, bringing the Old Testament system of law to an end, and is resurrected on the first day of the (new) week—introducing Grace “and, lo, I make all things new”).
God, if He is God, needs about a billionth of a half a second to speak all things into creation. He has used the 24 hour day, 7 day week time period to reveal Himself to us. God’s whole desire is that you might know Him and by knowing Him, have life in His name. Stop guessing. Be not doubting, but believe. And don’t worry, He has taken the foolish things of this world to confound the wisdom of the wise...because the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. You have God on your side when the unregenerate mock you!)
Agree with everything you said.
You know, when you really start to research and get into the young-earth theory and how everything supports it, your eyes are opened and everything falls perfectly into place. God’s plan is so beautiful, and so flawless, and everything around us confirms it, and confirms the truth of His word.
