heavens before stars, light before sun & chickens definitely before eggs

in may we will be putting on our annual production at glory academy of fine arts. i’m very excited about our theme this year - it’s, creation. what amazing visual possibilties. so, i have been trying to prepare myself to wrap my brain around it graphically by really reading the story carefully - picturing it again with mind wide open.

so, did you ever notice that god created the heavens and the earth in the beginning, light on the first day, but didn’t create the sun, moon & stars until the 4th day? it says there was day and night on the first 3 days, too. (he must have had the clapper, I guess… just kidding - don’t go get all mad at me.)

and, i had always assumed “creating the heavens” meant the universe. but without a solar system… hmmm. so, was the heaven he created on the first day the heaven we look forward to? and, is there more than one? it does say heavens.

it’s amazing what you pick up on when you really slow down and think about what you’re reading. makes me wonder how much more of the bible i have just breezed over, neglecting to fully absorb it.

i was really only after a little “creative inspiration”, not a whole theological debate.

(btw - chicken comes before the egg. after reading it closely, i’m sure of it now.)
