Day

  
Morning Sunshine, by Károly Ferenczy

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.

The Most Important Teachings About Order

By Rev. Prescott A. Rogers

Christ driving the money-changers from the temple

And God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. (Genesis 1:31).

1. All order is from the Lord.

2. It exists in all of creation, spiritual and natural.

3. Disorder is the perversion of order, and it exists in hell and in the world.

4. Order is a matter of essence, having to do with love and wisdom, and of form.
