“Israel must keep the Sabbath day forever. It is a permanent sign of my covenant with them. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, but he rested on the seventh day and was refreshed.” Exodus 31:16-17 NLT
The very best commentary on scripture is other scripture. Just as He said in Exodus 20:11, God reveals the truth here about how long creation took. God invented language, so we can probably count on Him using the right words to teach us the truth. Note the context compares and equates the six-day work-week with the six-day creation week. The idea of millions or billions or years doesn’t come from anywhere in scripture. It’s a man-made idea. Do you really believe in millions of years and “From Goo to you by way of the zoo?”
God reveals that the 7th day is to rest--just as He rested from creation on the 7th day.
The Sabbath day was created as a sign of God’s covenant with Israel.
Satan wants you to doubt the truth revealed by God in the Bible.
God created the 7th day of rest as a weekly reminder that creation took 6 days.
Heaven and earth were both created during the six-day creation week.
God created heaven and earth in six days.
God literally made everything in six days and rested on the seventh.
Lord, forgive me for doubting Your Holy Word. In Jesus Name, Amen.
