Sunday as we wrapped up Genesis 1, I found myself out of time to talk more about the literal days of Creation, but below I have listed out 7 things that I believe need to be considered about the literal days of Creation. • During the 6 days of Creation, God specifically concludes “And the evening and the morning were the first day” (Genesis 1:5) and so forth with “the second day” and “the third day” etc. (Genesis 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31).
