God created time and he knows the difference between a 24-hour day and 1000 years. All this passage is demonstrating is the fact that God is not contingent upon time. | |

| Sep 3, 2021 at 21:37 | comment | added | Dottard | The use of "yom" = day can mean any length of time, it is true. However, when "yom" is preceded by a number, there is not a single exception to the rule that in this case, it ALWAYS means a 24 hour period. | |
