Genesis 1:11 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so.
Genesis 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:13 So the evening and the morning were the third day.
Remember that the day of the Lord is not 24 hours as mistakenly thought by other religious groups like the 7th day Adventist. So when God rested on the 7th day, so they are.
2 Peter 3:8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
The second day when God said let the earth bring forth grass, herbs and trees, can not be construed that the bringing forth of the fruit or a seed only happens in 24 hours.
By nature, a mango for example bear fruits between 3 - 5 years and although some bamboos flower every year, most species flower infrequently. In fact, many bamboos only flower at intervals as long as 60 or 120 years. The longest mass flowering interval known is 130 years, and is found for all the species Phyllostachys bambusoides. In this species, all plants of the same stock flower at the same time, regardless of differences in geographic locations or climatic conditions, then the bamboo dies.
The and word is highlighted in red to stress that such series of event happens in a season of time not 24 hours.
John 5:28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice
John 5:29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
Above verse seem to explain that those that done evil resurrected together with those that done good, but not after the One Thousand (1,000) years.
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
Revelation 20:5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished.
You have no idea about the bible. You put god in a box. a day nite referance in the bible is 24 hours. the frase "as if " is not a literal frase. I would say to some one that "as if" to compare. I would say to some one "it is" a literal frase.

DeleteMk 4:11-12 And he said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
