Hi guys,
Dispensationalism, based on the Genesis creation story, has much merit.
King David came along 3000 years after Adam at the beginning of Day 4; and the Messiah was born, as the many in Judea and the wise men from the east expected, 4000 years after Adam at the beginning of Day 5.
And the proof is in the pudding. 6000 years after Adam, in 2001, at the beginning of Day 7, two important things occured:
The Euphrates was dry, and the events of 9/11 occurred, marking the beginning of the "Battle of That Great Day of God Almighty" (see Rev. 16:12-16).
