The Full Work of Creating and Making AND A Bit Of the Mercy’s Enjoyment of Warfare

Gang, this one jumped out at me when I was talking with Isaac.
He was doing his Bible Homework and asked the question.

In how many days did G-d make/create everything?

And most of y’all know the answer, the usual answer.
Six.
And yet, the first record of rest did not happen until the seventh day.
Ther for, G-d created everything except for rest in six days.
But G-d did not create EVERYTHING in six days.
Rest was his idea and thus, his creation.
So, I answered him, G-d rested on the seventh day, and so given that, the answer is actually seven days.
Granted, this is a simplification of my views, given I am an old-earther. But, fascinating point. Seven days, because the seventh day was in fact a day of creation. He created the reality of alignment through rest, refreshment, and also assessment of what he had done.
Days and seasons of rest are also opportunities for us to “occupy” in active rest through evaluation, shifting, realignment with Dad’s purposes and prepping for the next week.

A SOUND BYTE ON MERCIES AND WARFARE

Mercies do not enjoy warfare. Mercies like to avoid warfare.
And other like statements.

And I have a couple of thoughts for that sentiment.
Actually, one.
Bull.
Now that I have said that, consider the following
Three words.
Man of blood.
Look at the life of King David, the merciest of Mercies, and Joshua, another Mercy say that with a straight face again.
Granted, I think there are some Mercies that run from the donneybrook, but I think greater is the number that runs to the donneybrook.
So, thoughts.
For a definition of “donneybrook”, see below.
