THE FOURTH DAY
Gen. 1:
1~19
"And God said, Let there be 'LIGHTS' in the Firmament of the heaven to
divide the Day from the Night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and
for days, and years; and let them be for LIGHTS in the Firmament of the heaven
to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made TWO GREAT LIGHTS; the
greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made
the stars also. And God set them in the Firmament of the heaven to give light
upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the
light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the
morning were the 'Fourth Day'."
The appearance of the sun and moon on the
fourth day was not a new creation. They had existed in connection with the
Pre-Adamite Earth and had not been destroyed when it was made waste. The words
translated "made" in the l6th verse is not the same word as is translated
"created" in verse one, and does not imply a "creative" act. What is meant is
that the clouds broke away and permitted the sun and moon to be seen, and that
from that time they were appointed to measure the days, and years, and seasons
as we have them today. In other words, on the Fourth day "Time" in contrast with
"Eternity" began.
