I'd say God allotted for 24 hours to be in a day, but he didn't necessarily measuring them that weigh. The Hour system of measurement is more a product of man to understand cycle of light and day. If we were motivated enough we could create a form of metric time where every metric minute would be 100 metric seconds. 100 of those in a metric hour, and so on but that would be some intense math. The allotted time at the point of a day's creation wouldn't change with our system, just our process for tracking time's passing.rondanoh1 wrote: ↑11 Mar 2021, 13:10 I think we have to understand that God created the 24 hour day for humans to measure time. This concept has changed over our history based on our knowledge of our world and our universe. When God describes a time, He gives us a word to help us understand something that only He truly understands. In eternity time, as we know it, doesn't exist.

Time does not apply to God, since He created it and is not subject to time. Therefore, I guess that the periods referred to are those outside of this world and within another realm and they are the closest thing to what we would call a day or certain periods.

I agree with you that time is relative to culture. Remember, we used to use sun dials to tell time and that seems archaic now, but perhaps in another 3,000 years, a newer, better way of measuring time will be brought to light!Kelyn wrote: ↑13 Mar 2021, 00:14 The concept of time changes with the society and culture you belong to. What an hour has been set as (sixty minutes) in our society may well be meaningless or at least mistaken by those who have been brought up differently culturally and geographically speaking. Also, we have no way of knowing whether 'our' minute, hour, day, etc. meant the same when the Bible was written as it does now. I would, in fact, say the odds are against it because the cultures and times are so different. It also wasn't possible to measure time with the precision we do now. Perforce, their concept of time would seem 'vague' to us.
