The Seven Days of Creation
Ever wondered how the universe began? According to the book of Genesis, God created everything in just six days, resting on the seventh. This ordered creation shows how the world came together step by step.
On the first day, God created heaven and Earth and commanded "let there be light!" The second day saw the formation of sky and water, while on the third day, land, seas, trees and plants appeared. By the fourth day, God created the sun, moon and stars to light the world.
Living creatures came next – sea creatures and flying animals on the fifth day, followed by land animals and humans "in his image" on the sixth day. After completing this work, God rested on the seventh day.
Did you know? This seventh day of rest became the model for Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest that begins at sunset on Friday and ends Saturday night. Jews use this time to recharge and spend quality time with family.
