1056. 'Between God and every living soul in all flesh that is on the earth' means all people with whom this can take place. This is clear from what has been stated, namely that the subject is people who are able to be regenerated. Consequently 'living soul in all flesh' does not mean anybody else.

Like other descriptions of time in the Word, "a day" or a number of "days" describe a spiritual state rather than our natural concept of time. A spiritual "day" describes a state of mind or a state in our relationship with the Lord rather than a 12-hour or 24-hour span of natural time. "Day" describes a state in which we are turned toward the Lord, and are receiving light (which is truth) and heat (which is a desire for good) from the Lord.
