Okay brother...the question I posed was specifically to sister miknik5 not anyone else. I feel that it is rude for you to have jumped in and answered a question not directed towards you so, I would appreciate if you stick to your own conversations as I have not done that to you.
Yes but, we are not speaking Hebrew to one another we are speaking English. This thread is not about Hebrew or post modern analysis. I was born in an English speaking country therefore it would not be practical for me to jump to another language without first being able to comprehend and clearly communicate in my own language.
While I am talking about the evening and the morning which is connected with the creation week: in my opening on the first page you will clearly see that I am specifically focused on Genesis 1:1-5. If we work backwards from v. 5 it will become clear:
"[...]And the evening and the morning were the first day."
The morning here is the beginning of the second day. The evening is the end of the first day. This also signifies that 1 Day = Morning and Evening. Therefore the beginning of the day is the morning while the end of the day is the evening.
"And God called the light Day and the Darkness He called Night.[...]"
God names the periods of light and darkness accordingly so we know what time it is when we see these signs. When we see the light it is Day, when we see the darkness it is Night...simple.
"And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness."
God calls the light good and shows through His dividing it from the darkness that they are two different periods of time and, that they are not to be mixed. After God separated the two from one another morning began with the appearance of light.
"And God said, 'Let there be light': and there was light."
God called out the light: and it appeared. And since the darkness was there when He called the light they were mixed which created twilight: a period where there it is neither light nor dark. Here God used His Spirit to help banish the darkness with the light.
"And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
After God created the earth it had no shape at first and was empty of life; and the darkness was covering the waters which blocked out both from being seen. So God sent His Spirit to work.
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
"In the beginning[...]" = Time (creation)
"[...]God created[...]" = Creator
"[...]the heavens[...]" = Space (creation)
"[...]and the earth[...] = Matter (creation)
God created time, space, and matter. Therefore the creation of time signified the beginning of time and the beginning of the first day of the week. God also subjected these three creations to be finite (i.e. have a beginning, middle, and an end).
Time is arbitrary based on man's definitions which conflict with one another. Time = Temporal = Time not Eternity, only Eternity = Forever. God's definition of time is simple and to the point. God specifically says in Genesis 1:14-19 that the Sun, Moon and stars are for signs, seasons, days, and years: therefore God created the luminaries to tell time: not atoms or anything else. And God's time is mathematically perfect and based off of the circuits of the luminaries which He created thus giving birth to the degrees of a perfect circle and a perfect square:
360 Degrees = 1 Heavenly Revolution
360 Degrees / 4 Quarters = 90 Degrees per Quarter
the degrees which the luminaries move are equal to one day...
360 Days = 1 Base Year
360 Days / 4 Seasons = 90 Days per Season
now the four divisions of the year are the four intercalary days which are at the end of each season...
360 Days + 4 Intercalary Days = 364 Days
364 Days / 7 Days = 52 Weeks per Year
52 Weeks / 4 Seasons = 13 Weeks per Season
13 Weeks x 7 Days = 91 Days per Season
91 Days x 4 Seasons = 364 Days
360 Days / 12 Months = 30 Days per Month
364 Days / 12 Months = 30.333333... Days per Month
1 Day x 7 Days = 1 Weekday
12 Hours of Light = 1 Day
12 Hours of Darkness = 1 Night
If the circle represents the heavens then the square represents the earth: and this is fitting as God created the great lights to give light upon the earth and, to divide the light from the darkness (Genesis 1:14-19). To find the number of hours and minutes we must divide the circle:
360 Degrees / 6 Parts = 60 Degrees per Part
60 Degrees x 6 Parts = 360 Degrees
360 Degrees /12 Parts = 30 Degrees per Part
as I have shown above 1 Degree = 1 Day therefore...
360 Degrees / 12 Months = 30 Days per Month
360 Days / 6 Two Month Periods = 60 Days per Two Months = 60 Sunrises and Sunsets
this means that 60 Minutes = 1 Hour because the sun rises and sets sixty times every two months...
this means that if we imagine a protractor with the base as the horizon and the arch as the path of the luminaries...
0 Degrees - 180 Degrees = 12 Hours = 1 Day
...therefore...
180 Degrees / 12 Hours = 15 Degrees per Hour
in order to find the number seconds in an hour...
1 Hour / 60 Minutes =
60 Seconds per Minute =
1/60th of a Minute =
1/3,600th of an Hour
If you are still in doubt read Nehemiah 9:3 where Nehemiah divides the day into quarters; 2 Kings 20:9 and Isaiah 38:8 where God moves the shadow on the sundial of Ahaz backwards by ten degrees; and, John 11:9 where Jesus declares there are twelve hours in a day: time is no illusion nor is it arbitrary according to God's Word.
Please read my above proofs on this.
