Why is Gen. 1 divided into 7 days? Why God rests on the 7th day? 

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; One God, Amen. 

In our last video, we discussed the real meaning of Genesis 1, and we saw how the text is part of an introduction that leads to Abraham, the father of the Jews. And that the main purpose of the text was to discuss the creation of the world but with the purpose of  demythologizing, or dethroning, the fake pagan gods of the time. In that video, which you can find the link to in the description below, we covered the meaning of the first five days of Genesis 1. In this video, we will discuss the last 2 days of this first chapter as well as briefly look into the creation’s seven-day structure
