Lesson for October 4, 2025
CREATION WEEK — LITERAL DAYS
Scriptures Reading: Isaiah 40:10-31.
Memory Verse: Ex. 20:11.
- How are we told creation was accomplished? Psa. 33:6-9; Gen. 1:3, 6, 11.
- How complete was this creation? John 1:3, Heb. 11:3.
- What further leads us to know the days were literal? Gen. 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23,31.
- Was Christ with the Father at creation? Gen. 1:26; John 8:58 Col. 1:16-18.

Note. In these last days there are many teachers and self-styled preachers going around teaching many things contrary to the account of the creation given by God. One of the fallacies taught by many is that each day in the creation week was of much longer duration than the 24 hours which constitute the present day. That teaching is false; for a day in the creation was of the same duration as a day is in this age, and it will continue this way until the complete change takes place when the Holy City of God comes down, and then there will be no more night.
