CREATION DAY 7: God Rests on the Seventh Day (Genesis 2:1-3)
On this day there is no need for further creation, just an enjoyment of perfection.
CREATION DAY 6: Land Animals and Humans (Genesis 1:24-31)
“Life-forms that live primarily on the land were created on the sixth day. This day paralleled the third day when dry land appeared. Again the creation was according to various kinds.”—Kenneth O. Gangel and Stephen J. Bramer,

CREATION DAY 4: Heavenly Luminaries (Genesis 1:14-19)

The problem arises because the creation account comes across as though the sun was not created until the fourth day (1:14-16), yet there was light on the first day (1:3). The solution to this Bible difficulty lies within today's study of God's Word.
