JAN 14

In this account, we observe an omnipotent God in his process of creating the world in which we live in. A chronological sequence of creations compose what are sectioned off as seven ‘days’. The use of quotations around the word days is due to the fact that the seven days which are described are not the days we as modern humans are familiar with, as the times of day were not created until the fourth day arrived. On the first day, we observe as God created the universe which surrounds out planet, and created light, to fill the dark and empty void which was the universe at the time. On the second day, God created a space of division between the existing water, this place is to be called heaven. The third day brought the existence of land and in doing so, he also creates vegetation. During the fourth day, God creates what we now as the sun and the moon in order to give the world light. The remaining 3 days are where all animals are created; those of the sea, those of the land, and finally man himself was created. This text not only gives a glimpse of the infinite power of God, but it also begins to give a more advanced meaning to topics which man has questioned for years. For example, on the sixth day, God creates man with a purpose, to rule over all which he has created. The world God created was not for him to dwell on, but for man to rule over instead of him. The resting which takes place on the seventh day is due to the fact that God has now placed humans in charge of the world he created.
