Msg#1603 Tuesday Day Three
What The Bible Says
Good Samaritan’s Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice
Tuesday, the third day of creation, dawns on a ball of water, hung on nothing inside of an immense shell of water bounding the universe. Water molecules are two hydrogen atoms clinging to one oxygen atom, and God now touches the ball of water to create more diverse atoms. His account says, “Let the dry land appear” (Gen1:9). This day’s work created a hundred elements, gold, platinum, silver, precious metals, jasper, sapphire, chalsedony, precious stones, granite, basalt, silica, lots of rock. God called the dry land Earth. Now there is a solid planet, Earth, and God saw that it was good (verse 10): i.e. rich in precious metals and precious stones, but void of plant life. Tuesday afternoon God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind. Taxonomic ranking of plants into twelve phyla, more classes, orders and families is a popular pastime for botanists. God ranks three: grasses, herbs, and fruit trees. God likes things in threes. The emphasis is also threefold: 1) Plants produce seeds, that’s procreation; 2) Each reproduces after his kind, that throws a wrench in evolution; and 3) God saw that it was good. The Bible student understands that the phyla for fungi, mold, and dandelion may not have been included in God’s original plant group. Such phyla feed on death and constitute weeds; they seem to have been produced at the two cursings of man: his casting out of Eden,and his drowning in a flood. Just the same, they were miraculously created; don’t give the atheistic evolutionist an inch. What God created in these six days was all good; in fact on this Tuesday it was called good on two separate occasions; because of that Jews get married on Tuesdays.
