The Creation Days Parable

[JudaicChristian]

The Creation Days Parable
The Creation Days 1 through 6, in the text explicitly concludes with the phrase, "And there was evening, and there was morning." The seventh day completely lacks this phrase. In biblical theology, this implies that the Seventh Day represents an ongoing state, until the divine rest and harmony that the Elect is meant to share.
Psalm 95:11
So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”

This is how I know Genesis 1 is written as a parable. The creation days are Epochs of time. A full day traditionally is from sundown to sundown, because the world began in darkness. And this is what the scriptures say:
Gen 1:5. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

From evening to morning is half of a day. That means that God is not done creating.

New heavens and a new earth

Isaiah 65:17
For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

Isaiah 66:22
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.

Interesting thoughts, thanks for posting that!

I also heard another possible meaning of the Creation Days besides the original one. Every day of Creation would be 1.000 years of history (With the "calculator" that for God one day is like 1.000 years). Each period of time has its own specific focus, depending on what was created on that particular day.

Yes, Dr. Gerald Schroeder wrote a book about that and also has several videos.

Not everyone agrees with his analysis, but it is good food for thought!

 the name of our former Federal Chancellor was Gerhard Schröder and for a moment I thought you were quoting him.... it would positivly surprise me to hear him speak about spiritual things.

Dr. Gerald Schroeder likes numbers and calculations. That's interesting and I will look into it - thanks for that hint!

The interpretation I have in mind is another. They say, the word was created in literal 6 days and that every day represents 1.000 years in the future (for us, in the past for the most part).

That assumption would not be correct. because the 7th day has lasted thousands of years.

It was not until the 1800's did someone say the days are literal.

"The seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord, your God.

For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day."

(Exodus 20:8)

Probably written before the 1800's.
