ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW ???
Another great question to ask when thinking outside of the box, is according to God, what are the lights in the sky (the Sun, Moon, Stars, Planets and Asteroids) *FOR*?
According to God, what is their PURPOSE?
Genesis 1 answers this question!
These are:
1) "to divide the day from the night"
2) "for signs"
3) "for seasons"
4) "for days"
5) "years"
6) "to give light upon the earth"
(i.e. "for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth")
Genesis 1:14-19 tells us what they are "FOR":
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that [it was] good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
