CREATION WEEK INSIGHTS PART TWO

Fourth Day – One the fourth day God created the sun, moon, and stars to divide the day from the night. These celestial bodies would also be for signs and for seasons, days, and years. God was establishing His Calendar. God’s calendar, the calendar of the Bible, is completely different and separate from our “Roman” calendar and time.

Understanding God’s calendar is essential if we are to understand the end times and the Book of Revelation. God is not operating on Roman time and calendar. He is operating on His calendar, which is the calendar and time the entire Bible is written. The vast majority of “Christians” no understanding or concept of this: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Hosea 4.6

If you are a seeker of truth you must understand God’s calendar. This will change your life and you will begin to understand the Bible in ways you never imagined. It is essential—do not reject knowledge and truth in order to maintain your “traditions.” Heed the warning in Hosea 4.6 Ref: Search this blog for calendar articles.

God created the sun on the 4^th day. Jesus was born on the 4^th day. The time before this event was identified as B.C. (Before Christ) and every date since is A.D. (Anno Domini – In the Year of Our Lord). Our human secular society has scrubbed this out and now use BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era) because they despise the things of God.

All history pivots on the birth of Yeshua (Jesus) four thousand years after the creation of Adam—the 4^th day of man. The ancient Jewish Torah teachers believed the Messiah would come on the 4^th day. They interpreted Malachi 4.2 as referring to Genesis 1.14-19 and the creation of the sun: But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. Malachi 4.2

This, to them, was symbolic to when God’s salvation would come to his people. What an incredible insight. It is amazing the secrets the Bible contains. Here is what the Apostle Peter says of the Messiah: ¹⁶ For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.¹⁸ And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.¹⁹ We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 2 Peter 1.16-19


The Messianic Son of God was brought forth on the 4^th day as the Sun that prophecies of Him was created on the 4^th day of creation week.


As for the times, seasons, days, and years we must study and understand God’ Biblical calendar and the feasts of the Lord as described in Leviticus 23 and Numbers 29. Search this blog for more articles on the Feasts of the Lord.


Fifth Day – On the 5^th day (Gen 1.20-23) the Lord created all the living creatures in the waters and the air. Great whales and every living creature in the waters, winged fowl of the air and created them to multiply in the earth, each after their own kind. The Sun created on the 4^th day is now bringing life on the earth just as the Son born on the 4^th day has brought forth new life on the earth.
Everything is blessed and is to bring forth life “after its kind.” God has an established an “order of things.” Each species is to multiply and be fruitful after its “own kind.” This is a spiritual law. God has established borders or boundaries within which we are to abide. He has divided out everything: heaven and earth, land and water, light and darkness…etc. There is a Divine order to life. When we accept the Son born on the fourth day we enter into new life on the fifth day.




Sixth Day – On the sixth day (Gen 1.24-31) God first creates the beasts of the earth, cattle and creeping things (small animals) all after their own kind. God then says to Yeshua (God’s creation before the world: Col 1.15-17), “Let us create man in our own image and after our likeness.” Man is then given dominion over all the earth and the creatures therein. God created them male and female and they are given rule (stewardship) over all the earth to subdue it.
At this time God also tells man that all vegetation is for food for him and all the living creatures on the land. Ancient Jewish teachers believe man was a vegetarian until after the flood. It was only then we see men eating meat.


God’s creation was completed on the sixth day. Man was created on the sixth day. God completed his work and rested on the Sabbath (seventh) day. All was given to man to subdue. Man, therefore, according to the ancient sages, has been given six days in which to live and dominate the earth…on the seventh day man will enter into God’s rest. The Sabbath was made for man….




Seventh Day – God’s week ends on the seventh day. The Bible operates on this time and calendar. If we understand God’s calendar and time, we understand that Jesus was NOT crucified on Good Friday, but actually on what we call Wednesday night (Thursday night on Bible time). That is a teaching for another day, but is one example of many traditions we hold that are NOT true. (Jesus said he would be in the earth for three days and nights).


God will not reveal truth to anyone who holds unto traditions of men. You cannot build a strong foundation on sand—only on the rock of God’s word can you build a firm foundation.


The 7^th day represents the Feast of Tabernacles (When God comes to dwell among His people) and the Feast of Tabernacles represents the Millennial Kingdom (MK). The MK is the thousand year reign of Yeshua and His saints as kings and priests found in Revelation 20.




Revelation 20 describes the resurrection of the dead, the MK, Satan thrown into the abyss and later the Lake of Fire, the final rebellion of the nations after the thousand years, the second resurrection (or better called second death), the opening of the books of life and death, the Great White Throne judgment of all men not found in the first resurrection, and Satan’s final demise.


If you do not understand these events now is a good time to begin seeking the Lord for increased understanding. If you are sincere and willing to let go of the traditions of men, God will shine His light of understanding on you and you will understand the Bible in a much deeper way.
