The six days in Genesis One are literal, physical twenty-four-hour periods… and so much more. In its layers God foretold His moving in history and the fullness of time and eternity. The foundation of God’s love and grace for us is His image; He is jealous for and faithful to the display of His glory. We find our reason for living here: we are blessed - empowered - to be fruitful, multiply, fill, subdue and rule.
