How Does God Measure Time?

[TheWiseMan]

Dear Wise, God has but 7 Days. Each of God's Days are some 4.5 Billion years in length. Six of the Days are Creative Days and the details of these Days are told in Genesis Chapter One. The 7th Day is Eternity. It has no ending, no evening. Today is the 6th Creative Day and is the Day of Salvation. The present 6th Day will last at least another 1k years.

In Love,
Aman

Did God tell you this?

Is it NECESSARY that we know HOW God measures time? What's wrong with not knowing?

What is right with not knowing?

Does this help?

 

[Asvin]

What is right with not knowing?

Does this help?

Do you know what God is thinking right now? What is right with not knowing?

 

[TheWiseMan]

Do you know what God is thinking right now? What is right with not knowing?

It is not a sin.

 

[TheWiseMan]

Isn't the Spirit of Wisdom wonderful?

Did God tell you this?

Dear Wise, It came through years of prayer and study of God's Holy Word.

Genesis chapter one is the entire history of the 6 Creative Days, including events which have not yet happened. Genesis 2:1-3 is prophecy of what will happen AFTER the 6th Creative Day is finished. God told us the entire History of His 7 Days of Creation from Genesis 1:1-Genesis 2:3.

Genesis 2:2-3 repeats that God rests from ALL of His work of creation on the 7th Day. God is STILL working today, Jesus is STILL working today, and the Holy Spirit is STILL working today, to CREATE new creatures IN Christ.

If you disagree, then tell us WHY the Church continues to work today, since God has ALREADY rested from ALL of His work of creating. I don't believe anyone can.

In Love,
Aman

Dear Asvin, It is NOT necessary for one's salvation to know how God measures time. It is necessary to know IF you wish to understand the story of the Creation. Many people think that the 7 Days of Creation are 24 hour days, but that is UnScriptural, since we are still living on the 6th Creative day.

In Love,
Aman

I don't believe anyone can.

Because at that point in time that God rested from all his work...everything was ..GOOD

That all changed when SIN entered into His creation.

 

[TheWiseMan]

I don't believe anyone can.

In Love,
Aman

Now you can believe...I can.

 

[TheWiseMan]

Never underestimate the Seven Spirits of God.

Dear Wise, I don't agree since sin was in the world BEFORE Adam was "created in God's Image" or in Christ. We live today at Genesis 1:27 since God is STILL creating Adam (mankind) in His Image. It takes the agreement fo the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to create a New Christian.

This agrees with Genesis 1:26 which says Let US make man in our Image and John 14:15-17 which shows the work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit which continues today. IOW, God is STILL working today to create new Christians in His Image or In Christ.

God will NOT rest from ALL of His work until the last Christian, who is among the host of heaven, is safely in heaven. Genesis 2:1.

In Love,
Aman

Dear Wise, Read my last post to you for it shows that you CANNOT.

sin was in the world BEFORE Adam was "created in God's Image" or in Christ.

How would you know that?

No.

1) You have no reason to assert that God measures time in some way unknown to us. But in any case, it is illogical to assert that even if God "measures time" in some other way, that that would prevent us from measuring that time period.

Nope. We can't measure eternity, period.
Matthew 25:46 "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

2) God has clearly provided ample evidence of the age of the earth throughout his creation. We see this in a wide variety of DIFFERENT KINDS of evidence which all yield the same age. The age of the earth is not all that difficult to determine---and the Christ-follower need not fear the answers which God has provided in his creation.

This earth is subject to time and so has no future and is not relevant.
2 Peter 3:12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.

3) So apparently God wished us to know the age of the earth. God's Bible doesn't focus on such questions but the Creation which God "authored" does.

No, the earth does not focus on time.
Deuteronomy 4:32 Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created man on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of?

The earth is subject to time and will pass away. Time does not exist for God.
Romans 8:22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

4) It doesn't matter what "time unit" is used for the measurement as long as people understand the definition behind a particular standard. The orbital period of the earth around the sun (another of God's creations) has become a standard unit of time measurement and there is no reason to avoid it. (That is, unless someone has some sort of objection to how God established such phenomena in his creation, why contest it?)

God is not subject to time
Jeremiah 10:10 But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God, the eternal King. When he is angry, the earth trembles; the nations cannot endure his wrath.

Your inference that God (and perhaps the angels) have some alternative unit of time which they prefer to use is a figment of your imagination. You have no Biblical basis for the claim.

The standard is different for God
2 Peter 3:8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

That question leads me to wonder if you understand how the age of the earth can be determined. (If you did, you wouldn't make the assertions you've posted.) The username you've chosen appears to suggest that you have a high opinion of your own wisdom. But whatever the case, on this topic you are definitely giving the impression of being uninformed.

Ecclesiastes 7:4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.

Psalm 90:4 For a thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.

It is necessary to know IF you wish to understand the story of the Creation. Many people think that the 7 Days of Creation are 24 hour days, but that is UnScriptural, since we are still living on the 6th Creative day.

Yet scripture says not.
Genesis 2:2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.

Dear Sky, Notice that the verse says that God rested from ALL of His work. Many people add to what is written and say that means that God rested from ALL of His work of the Creation, but that is NOT so, since God is still working today, according to Jesus.

Jhn 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto (Greek-up to the present time,) and I work.


The Holy Spirit is God and He certainly hasn't rested from ALL of His work. The Church continues to work with the Holy Spirit to bring sinners to Christ. God will NOT rest from ALL of His work until His work is finished or brought to perfection, and ALL of the host of heaven are in heaven. Genesis 2:1 Remember also that it takes the agreement of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to create a sinner in God's Image. John 14 (Blue Letter Bible: KJV - King James Version)

In Love,
Aman

As you have shown, Jesus did not mention Creation, you added that.
But the first reference is at the end of the Creation week passage.
So it is naturally referring to Creation in it's context.
Jesus is not. Jesus is referring work of the Spirit in that context.

Dear Sky, Are you saying that the Holy Spirit is NOT God? Of course not. IF the Holy Spirit is working today, and He is, then God has NOT yet rested from ALL of His work.

Genesis chapter one tells the entire history of the 6 Creative Days. Genesis 2:1-3 is telling us the history of what will happen AFTER the present 6th Day is complete. This shows that ONLY God could have written Genesis, since He tells us the entire History of His Creation before the Creation is finished or brought to perfection.
