The account of God accomplishing his work in six days (and therefore resting on the 7th) is a prophecy of the Crucifixion and the subsequent entombment of Jesus. You are wasting your time chasing biblical interpretations as natural science and not as prophetic references to Christ's mission.

Augustine also thought the millennium was upon him during his life because Constantine declared the Empire to be Christian.

A brilliant man, but his allegorizing has been proven to be in error by modern events, namely the miraculous regathering of Israel into the Land in fulfillment of prophecy that sets up events in the Book of Revelation.

Genesis 1:1 "and" 2 set the stage for what follows.

Genesis 1:1 Makes a statement of fact. What "FOLLOWS" describes an EVENT.

Why does "man in the flesh" ignore those two scriptures?

They are spoken to and given some description many other places, thus they cannot be ignored.

Check out how many times the direction of not being "ignorant" and about "WHAT" is given throughout the WORD. Now this as well points to Christ. The WHO, WHAT, WHY, WHERE, AND part of the WHEN.

I turned on my shortwave and I had left it on WBCQ. They were early today, broadcasting "The Jewish EVM Network".

The apparently taped lesson talked about the natural number "7" and gave examples in Judism, making a point that 8 is
reserved for special events. Not being Jewish, a lot of the references didn't sink in, but 7 days in a week, a bris
done 7 days after the birth, etc. Hannakuh uses 8 for something or another.

How seven is a natural --- maybe God did play dice --- I either missed, didn't catch, or don't recall.
