Mystery creates wonder
God created seven heavens (sky), seven universes in 7 days, and seven continents on earth.
Heavenly objects — the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn — moved at different paces in the sky, both from each other and from the fixed stars beyond them. In the common parlance of the time, the atmosphere where birds fly was considered the first heaven, the space where the stars resided was regarded as the second heaven, and God's abode was deemed the third heaven.
The seven continents on Earth are: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.
7 Days of Creation: Day 1: light and darkness;
Day 2: sky and sea;
Day 3: land; Day 4: sun and moon;
Day 5: birds and fish; Day 6: animals, man, and woman; and
Day 7: God rests.
Day 1: Light
(Gen 1:3–5)
Day 2: Atmosphere
(Gen 1:6–8)
Day 3: Land, seas, plants (Gen 1:9–13)
Day 4: Lights in the sky
(Gen 1:14–19)
Day 5: Sea creatures and birds (Gen 1:20–23)
Day 6: Land creatures—and humans.
Day 7: Taking a break (Gen 2:1–3)
The idea of resting and the
number seven
are intimately connected.
