fellow christians.. how long is a day according to our Bible?

Question

is it sunset to sunset [next day], or is it like islam sort of [where a day equals several thousand years.]?? and do you have any verses to back your statement?

Answer 1

Twenty - fours hours a day is man days and Noah gave 375 days in the ark until the earth was dry again. Gen.6:3 amd Moses at Deut.34:7 died at age 120. Psm.90:10 and David died at age 70 1Ki.2:10,11.

Adam was to die in the day he sinned in, Adam was created to live forever if he did not sin, he died at age 930 and 70 years short of a Day for God, which is 1000 years.

Day is used as age, or era. Eph.2:7; 3:21 The world with Jesus is without end.

For God so loved the world that he gave his son Jesus to save the world John 3:16
1Cor.15:22 As in Adam all die even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Gen.2:4 All the days of creation are one day [ at the end of Rev.20:1-6; From the preparation of earth for habitation, to animals, to humankind as the world, to eternal life and the life sustaining earth lost, to angels that do not die, and did sin as did Satan ], so that a new heavens and a new earth must come to make all as perfect as before Eden 2Pet.3:8,13; This will take 49,000 years and Gen.1:1,2 shows all existed when earth became a focus for habitation. So 41,870 years to Adam 6072 years ago and we are in the last days before Rev.20:1-6 the raised up first resurrected are with Jesus at his coming down out of heaven from God Rev.3:12 to resurrect 12, 13 those for the new earth to be judged Heb.9:27 It is appointed unto man, once to die and after that the judgement. Rev.21:1-5 ALL WILL BE MADE NEW.
Gen.6:2,4 angels did sin Judge 6; 1Pet.3:18-20 and 2Pet.2:4 and they do not die Luke 20:34-36; 1Cor.6:2,3 Saints will judge then. Job 38:4-7 the were there to see the earth become a focus for habitation, they are called mornimg stars and sons of God, John 17:3,5,24 Jesus was there Rev.22:16 Jesus is called the bright and morning star Matt.16:16.17 Jesus is the son of the living God.
Job 2:1,2 Satan was with the sons of God Isa.14:12-14 Eze.28:13-15 The cherub anointed over Eden, called Lucifer means day star and compares world leaders to him, Gen.3:1-5 called serpent he decieved Eve John 8:44 Satan the devil is responsible for the death of every offspring of Adam, that Jesus plans to save.
Jesus was age 30 when he faced Satan in World Empire #6 in Matt.4:1-11; Jesus was crucified John 3:13-17 resurrected Acts 2:27-35 and ascended Acts 1:9-11 to wait until Michael and holy angel cast Satan and unholy angels of Gen.3:15 out of heaven and down to footstool earth to end Empire #7 [ 2520 after Babylon #3, 606 years before #6 and Christ ], and they will have a short time [ for angels that do not die, for us and age 70 being old age it may seem long ]. Rev.12:6-12; in the eighth until the second coming of Christ in Rev.20:1-6;

Time in the bible is from nw moon to new moon and Sabbath to Sabbath Isa.66:1,22,23;
365 days same as us with make up time to keep it even. 360 days are the math as for Daniel 4:16,23,25,32 [ 7x 360 = 2520 to end Empire #7 after Babylon is #3 ];
Dan.9:2,24-27 [ weeks of years is the math [ 7x 62 and 7x 7 ]; and 7:25 is the math as 2500, Dan.8:12-14 2300 is the math. Dan.12:1-7 [2500 ], 8-10 [ 2520 ] 11 [ 2580 ] 12 [ 2670 ].

Answer 2

you mean in the case of Genesis 1...

happily as all good documents do there is a definition... day is when it's light... night is when it's dark... God separated the light from dark, calling the light DAY and darkness NIGHT... so Genesis leads off with a definition of day and night... the presumption clearly is that a day is what it sounds like..

this definition continues with the sun rules the day... the moon rules the night...this definition continues with an evening and morning separating the day and night.. and in fact whenever a day 'yom' is qualified by a number it is a 24 hour type day
and this is the understanding of Moses who wrote 6 days you shall labor for in 6 days God made the heavens and the earth...

while it is true the Peter said with the Lord a day is as a thousand years AND a thousand years is like a day... does not make the case that day=thousand years since it is said both ways.. day=thousand years and thousand years=day it is more to the point that God is not only extraordinarily patient and outside time and not affected the same way as us by time

Answer 3

Like different critics of the Bible here, you be afflicted by a analyzing comprehension affliction. You equivocate homosexuality with the previous covenant rules, making use of them as a straw-guy argument. Do you even understand what a "covenant" is in this context? A criminal contract between 2 events, for this reason, God and the Israelites. Did you get that ok? one million. God. 2. Israelites. not Christians; Israelites. Homosexuality became into popular as a sin long till now that previous covenant got here into being, and became into reiterated as a sin AFTER the previous covenant got here to an end. Fellow Christians, despite the fact that it for sure states in the hot testomony that God's word is inherent, I refuse to take the authority of fallible peasants over the word of my almighty God! Inerrant, and not inherent. .

Answer 4

It is sunset to sunset.

The quote "A thousand years is but a day to the Lord", is not in the Bible. Like a lot of biblical quotes you may hear.

Answer 5

Well there is a place in the Bible that is saying that a day in heaven is like 1000 years. I think a day is the way we typically view it in the western world. There are several verses in Psalms that talk about "rising up" in the morning, or at day break, or when day is new, etc to pray

Answer 6

See Daniel. One prophetic day is equal to a year, - a day for a year. But one of God's (days) is a thousand human years long.

Answer 7

Except in the beginning, the definition of "day" has never been important. According to Jewish tradition, the day starts at sundown. Maybe God told them this, maybe He didn't. I don't see it as being a big thing. However, the interpretation of "day" in Genesis has cause quite a bit of arguments between long- and short-day creationists.
But I definitely agree with the first poster... to God, one day is as a thousand years. Speaking of which...

A man was praying to God, and he said: "God, to You, a moment is like a thousand years, right?"
God replied, "Yes, that's true."
"And to You, a billion dollars is like a penny?"
"That's also right."
"Well then, God, I have a question... can I have a penny?"
"OK, just a minute."

Answer 8

Many Christians, Jews, Muslims, and others feel it doesn't matter if the day is our concept of it, or if it is a thousand years and more. It is the thought of G-d's work that is important.

Answer 9

Depends on the context. The ancient Hebrews considered a day as dawn to dusk. Greeks measure time differently, I think it was midnight to midnight.

In Genises 1 and 2, the word is "yom" which means "day" but it is also used as "a period of time", which is what most Christians accept as the correct interpretation.

Answer 10

well the eastern people like the isrealites and all of them believe the day starts at sunrise and ends at sunset. when i fast i go according to that. now it doesn't really matter but according to biblical terms its from sunrise to sunset i think it says so when Joshua made the sun stop.
