The 7 days or 7 periods of time in which the creation of God was created...?

Question

Could this mean the 7 periods of time used in the [periodic table of elements], in which the original 92 elements are found to be all of God's creation seen in 7 [days] or periods of time...?

Answer 1

God just came to me and said that yes, that is indeed what it means. God bless you.

Answer 2

Where are the dates?

Answer 3

The day and days God was working in to prepare the earth already existed just as all existed in Gen.1:1,2; when he began to prepare the ages old earth
and at day four is the time and seasons for plant life and this day as Noah was 375 days in the ark is the day man does identify with.
All days for God will be the length of Day seven, Satan was in Eden 130 years after Adam was created, after 6000 years and seven full world Empires and a short time in the eight contending with 10 nations, the 1000 year reign of Christ will end the 7,000 years of day seven with all that was LOST in Eden
SAVED by Jesus, all possible is saved as no one died in day six. The bible tells all about it. 2Pet.3:13; Rev.21:1-5; All is made as perfect as before Eden.

To conclude that the 1000 year reign of Christ ends 49,000 years since the ages old earth was a focus for preparation, seems reasonable to me as
plant life and animal life was before all and a part of that preparation that the earth is able to tell the story on the surface of it, and from all it produces.

Answer 4

Interesting idea. I'm not sure if it holds up, but go for it and see where it takes you. Mental exercise is always good and you might figure out something cool, even if it's not what you intended.

Aryeh Kaplan has been doing some fascinating work combining Bereshit (Genesis) and cosmology. I have notes around here somewhere.... See if you can find it, you'll probably enjoy it.

If you take the old texts as metaphorical truth, rather than strictly literal, things get really interesting.

Answer 5

Sounds like a hell of a stretch.

All elements higher than hydrogen are created by stars; and the really heavy ones are created by supernovae. It took billions of years for supernovae to seed the galaxies with the periodic table elements.

We KNOW this.

How anyone could shoehorn these facts into Genesis beats me. WHY anyone would want to beats all.

Answer 6

The English word "day" can mean more than one thing. It can refer to the 24-hour period of time that it takes for the earth to rotate on it's axis (i.e. "there are 24-hours in a day"). It can refer to the period of daylight between dawn and dusk (i.e. "it gets pretty hot during the day but it cools down a bit at night"). And it can refer to a unspecified period of time (i.e. "back in my Grandfather's day..."). Likewise, the Hebrew word "yom" (which translates into the English "day") can mean more than one thing. It is used to refer to a 24-hour period in Genesis 7:11. It is used to refer to the period of daylight between dawn and dusk in Genesis 1:16. And it is used to refer to an unspecified period of time in Genesis 2:4. So what does it mean in Genesis 1:5-2:2 when it's used in conjunction with ordinal numbers (i.e. the "first day," the "second day," the "third day," the "forth day," the "fifth day," the "sixth day," and the "seventh day")? Are these 24-hour periods or something else? Could "yom" as it is used here mean an unspecified period of time? How can we tell?

We can determine how "yom" should be interpreted in Genesis 1:5-2:2 simply by examining the context in which we find the word used and then comparing it's context with how we see its usage elsewhere throughout scripture. By doing this we let Scripture interpret itself. Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis wrote a good article on this. It's published at - http://www.answersingenesis.org/cec/study_guides/answersSG2.pdf. Mr. Ham writes, "The Hebrew word for day (yom) is used 2301 times in the Old Testament. Outside of Genesis 1: Yom + ordinal number (used 410 times) always indicates an ordinary day [i.e. a 24-hour period]. The words ‘evening’ and ‘morning’ together (38 times) always indicate an ordinary day. Yom + ‘evening’ or ‘morning’ (23 times each) always indicates an ordinary day. Yom + ‘night’ (52 times) always indicates an ordinary day."

Answer 7

To God there is no time.As his son,Jesus said a day to God is as 1,000 years. So the earth creation does not necessarily mean 7 of human days but 7 of Gods days which could be billions of years.

Answer 8

No. These time periods were unknown when Genesis was written. It is clear that these "days" are referring to 7 consecutive 24 hour time periods.

***UPDATE***
When you study Genesis 1, it is clear from an initial reading that it is referring to 24 hour days. Then when you read Genesis 1 with a deeper reading, studying various Jewish understanding and study the Hebrew terminology and grammar. As well as study the theological and aesthetic value to the Creation account you then come to the conclusion that it is best to under stand these days as 24 hour days.

Answer 9

The word says 7 DAYS. Go figure.

Answer 10

Well, the word for day refers to both a day as we know it and also a period of time; an epoch, I think it is- so I am going to say, it could be so. However, each epoch would have to correspond to each day

Answer 11

no the 7 days it guest a sample for time cause the time it self wasn't created yet ( the time we know now) which u=is follow the sun --the day and the night so it is un calculated period of time could be milions of years
