His being is all powerful, and He is timeless.
Someone once told me that “for a human mind to understand God would be like a dog learning algebra”.
I periodically reread chapter 38 of Job.
“ And God answered Job out of the storm….
Where were you when I laid the foundations of the Earth?”

Exactly. Amen!

So, in human terms, a day is the Earth revolving around its axis once. A year is the time it takes the Earth to make one orbit around the sun. Why does the Bible, which I assume is supposed to be a text for humans to understand, use words that don’t fit this meaning? Why not use words that would covey the actual length of time?
