One of the most debated aspects of Genesis 1 is the meaning of the word “day” (Hebrew: יֹום yom). Some suggest that the “days” of creation could represent long epochs or ages, citing passages like Psalm 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8: “With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.” At first glance, this might seem to support the idea that the creation “days” could be extended periods. However, a closer look at the context of these verses reveals a different focus.

The Accuser Silenced by Blood
Every trap begins as a suggestion, not a seizure. Satan cannot kick the door of the will off its hinges; he is a trespasser without a key. What he can do is lean against the window and whisper a line that rhymes with your own hunger: “You’ve earned a drink.” “One click won’t hurt.” “God helps those who help themselves—so help yourself.” The voice sounds outside at first, but with each repetition, it starts to sound more and more like your own. What began as a suggestion now feels like your very identity.
