Exodus 20:11 “For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”
Outside the Genesis account itself, this is perhaps the most well-known Old Testament passage affirming a six day creation. This is important to note simply because so many choose to call God a liar, accepting instead the faulty and sometimes downright preposterous theories of men.
Our week, just as the Biblical creation week, consists of seven twenty four hour days. It’s a good thing too, because the sabbath principle is modeled after God’s creative process. Six million years would be a long time to wait for rest! Doctrines that attempt to meld worldly hypotheses with Christian teaching often deal dishonestly with the scripture.
They consider the opinions of sinful men, casting doubt on word of God, sometimes fearing a flaw has been discovered in the foundation of our faith. This fear may lead to scriptural acrobatics that pervert Biblical understanding. Our Bible makes the truth of creation clear. Let’s not panic and believe a lie.
