Could we humans think of God’s creation of our Universe to be "Gods Longest Earth Days". (God is Actually Timeless. He is the beginning and the end)
God has been speaking to my heart. Helping me to better understand what the Bible says versus what our scientist says regarding the age of our earth and its creation. "God's Longest Days" is my vision and PERSONAL interpretation for aligning scientific facts with God's Bible. I have prayed that this belief will not hinder any non-believer or Christian’s faith and that they can pray for their own personal interpretation.
Scientists say our Earth is Billions of years old. In reading the Bible literally, it would indicate that, according to mankind’s age, our earth and heavens would only be about 4,000 to 6,000 years old. That’s a HUGE Difference. But could the scientist be mistaken? Or could the Bibles meaning be “creation days” with "periods of extreme lengths of time" and not actually a 24-hour period? If the Bible is speaking of “creation days” then billions of years could have passed for each “Creation Day” as spoken in the Bible. Either way we can count on one thing – THE BIBLE IS ALWAYS ACCURATE AND TRUTHFUL! It is the interpretations that vary. But there are two Christian interpretations that should never change and that is GOD CREATED EVERYTHING - AND JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS!
Genisis Chapter 1
1 - In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 - And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 - And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 - And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 - And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 - And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 - And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 - And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 - And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 - And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 - And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 - And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 - And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 - And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 - And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 - And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 - And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 - And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 - And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 - And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 - And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 - And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 - And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 - And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 - And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 - And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 - So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 - And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 - And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 - And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 - And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Genisis Chapter 2
1 - Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 - And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 - And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
4 - These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
5 - And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6 - But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 - And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Conclusions:
Science states that our Universe could have started with a big bang. If so, God must have created the bang. According to Scientist, our evolved Universe included Milky ways, galaxies, planets, moons, suns, stars with many separated by billions and billions of light years from our earth.
Scientists have calculated the age of our planet to be approximately 4.5 billion years old. But how did scientists determine that age? Their estimate must be based on currently known facts. Many things could have happened in history that do not represent current observations. Nobody but God knows the answers – Scientist were not there; they don’t know 100%; their age estimate is hypothetical and based on current observations. Hypothetical Facts are constantly changing as new revelations are discovered.
Prior to Creation, there was only darkness with no light until (Gen 1:3) And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. (Gen 1:4) And God saw that the light was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
According to the Bible: Revelation 21:6 – “And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. “
Isaiah 40:28 – “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; His understanding is unsearchable
