First Day
The first day of God’s creation of the world can be read in Genesis 1:1-5.
Clearly described here in Genesis 1:1-5, God’s first creations are the foundations of all His creations which is the universe. It was then followed by the creation of the formless and desolate earth.
Next to the unfinished earth was the separation of the “light” from “darkness”. After separating them, God named the light as the “day” and “night” for the state of darkness. All these things were God’s creations during the first day.
Second Day
Moving to the second day of God’s creation can be read in Genesis 1:6-7.
As mentioned in this Holy Scripture, God created the “dome” which is currently a very controversial topic being discussed by most scholars today. Anyway, we will cover this on a separate post.
God named this dome as “sky” where its main purpose is to keep the water separated into two places, one above it while the other below it. This completed God’s second day of creation.
Third Day
The third day of God’s creation can be read on Genesis 1:9-13.
In this third day of God’s continued creation of the world, He designed the water from the surface of the earth to give space for the lands. Thus, the lands had appeared where He named it as the “Earth” while “Sea” for the water.
After causing the land to appear, God created all plants that produce edible fruits and grains. If you come to think about it, God already had the intention to create mankind on this third day. It was because, who else will benefit from eating these foods?
Fourth Day
As we proceed, we are now on the fourth day of God’s creation which can be read on Genesis 1:14-19.
God’s fourth day of creation are the objects from the sky which are the sun, moon, and the stars. Among these three, the sun brings the brightest form of light so God had assigned it as the ruler of the day. Second to the sun is the moon in which God had assigned it as the ruler of the night.
Since God clearly made the separation between the day and the night, God had intended it as the main basis for counting time, days, years, and marking all celebrations of religious festivals.
Fifth Day
Moving into the next day is the fifth day which can be read on Genesis 1:20-23.
The fifth day was the day when God created the very first living beings or creatures to roam around the earth. And, they were the birds. Followed by the birds were sea dwelling creatures. After creating them, God had important instructions to them which was to reproduce or increase their numbers.
Sixth Day
On this sixth day, we can read God’s creation described in Genesis 1:24-31.
Sixth day was another day when God created the beings that dwell on the land. He first created the animals and then followed by the human beings.
When it comes to human beings, God created them (of course us) to have resemblance with Himself. So He created made and then followed by female. And just like the others, God had blessed and instructed them to have many children who will populate the entire earth.
Seventh Day
Finally, the seventh day marks the completion of God’s creation of the universe which can be read in Genesis 2:2-4.
Actually, God had already completed his creations on the sixth day so on this seventh day, He rested. Other than this, He blessed this seventh day and made it a “special day”. God made it a special Holy day for us to serve Him as our Almighty God or Creator.
