5782 Years

Today is Wednesday, January 5th, 2022. On the Hebrew calendar it is the 3rd of Sh'vat, 5782

That year represents a way of thinking that has been largely rejected by the modern world... a relatively recent creation. I hold to this belief. God 'made' man and all the other life on this planet a few thousand years ago. I don't believe the Earth is flat. I do believe that Adam and Eve were real people and that we descended from them. You may say, 'How can I believe what you believe about God if you see the world this way?' and I understand that. The old Earth view seems attractive. It leaves 'room' for many things. It gives humanity a long future and time to 'redeem' itself.

Recently we have seen 'science' used in funny ways to manipulate people's thinking. Macro evolution is an older lie. We see what approximates evolution on a micro scale but not on the larger scale.

5782 not millions...

"Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: 'Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, The remnant will be saved. For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because the LORD will make a short work upon the earth.' " - Romans 9:27-28 NKJV

Time is limited. We should use it wisely.
