What Luke 24.5-51 Implies is a Week Turns out to Be "40 Days"(Acts 1.3-9)
The short period is replaced by the longer - and more accurate - period.
This serves as a precedent for us to go by in dealing with another case
of a short period versus a much longer period.
For Genesis 1 says the Universe,the world and Man
were all created within a week of 7 days (called "Creation Week").
While the Apostle Paul speaks of Creation taking place over several EONS,
"aionos" in the original Greek version of Hebrews 11.3.
God DELIBERATELY describes the interim between Christ's Resurrection and the Ascension
As though it were very short, just a few days,basically about a week long(Luke 24.5-51).
Just so Acts 1.3 could come along and correct it by stating it(the intervaul) was, instead, "40 days" long.
This serves as unmistakeable INSTRUCTION to us to correct the shortness of Creation Week.
By replacing it with the billions of years implicit in the "eons" (aionois in the Greek)
Which God created at the Beginning of the Universe (Hebrews 11.3).
By making Luke 24 seem no longer than a single week,
God enables us to see it as similar to Creation Week (Genesis 1).
Once we see that the apparent "week" in Luke 24 was wrong,
replaced by a much longer period of time,("40 days," Acts 1.3)
We can see the need to do the same with the "Week" in Genesis 1 as well !
Instead of being replaced by the number 40 (as in "40 days"),
It must be replaced by 14, the 14 billion years that the BBT gives as the age of the universe.
Isn't it true that "40" and "14" sound remarkably alike ??
PS:The English version for Hebrews 11.3 doesn't speak of eons.
For "aionos" is mistranslated as "worlds," or "the universe,"
in all the various translations, except for 3 of them.
(1)Jubilee bible 2000 says, "..that the ages were framed by the word of God.."
(2)Young's Literal Translation reads, "..the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God.."
I forget the name of the third version.
