Creation Devotional August 28 - Christian Truth

Daily Devotional – August 28

Christian Truth

 

Where in the Bible does it say the Earth is 6,000 years old? There is no place in the Bible that gives the exact date of creation. By studying the genealogies of Genesis, however, we can figure out an approximate timeline from Creation to the time of Abraham.

 

VERSE IN GENESIS FATHER SON FATHER’S AGE AT SON’S BIRTH
1:1-31 Creation 0
5:03 Adam Seth 130
5:06 Seth Enosh 105
5:09 Enosh Kenan 90
5:12 Kenan Mahalalel 70
5:15 Mahalalel Jared 65
5:18 Jared Enosh 162
5:21 Enosh Methuselah 65
5:25 Methuselah Lamech 187
5:28 Lamech Noah 182
7:01 Age of Noah at the Flood 600
CREATION TO FLOOD 1656
11:10 Shem Arphashad  2yrs after flood
11:12 Arphashad Shelah 35
11:14 Shelah Eber 30
11:16 Eber Peleg 34
11:18 Peleg Reu 30
11:20 Reu Serug 32
11:22 Serug Nahor 30
11:24 Nahor Terah 29
11:26, 32; 12:4, Acts 7:4 Terah Abram 130
Age of Earth at time of Abram’s Birth 2008 2008

 

From creation week to Abram’s birth was 2008 years. If we round the number to 2000 years from creation to Abraham, and 2000 years from Abraham to Jesus, and 2000 years from Jesus to now, that’s about 6000 years since creation. If we trust the Bible to mean what it says, the Earth/universe is about 6,000 years old, NOT hundreds of thousands of years, NOT millions of years, NOT billions of years. Note- The Jewish calendar states the Hebrew year is 5779, (2018 A.D).

 

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

~ Genesis 1:1
