Shortened Days

I am neither a scientist nor a writer, which should become painfully obvious as you read my hypothesis for the coming of sixteen hour days. I am simply a layman who prayerfully studies the scriptures with a contemplative mind. This idea was developed several years ago but has gone heretofore unpublished. Now may be the time. I may or may not be the originator of this hypothesis but I have never heard it from any other source.

According to National Geographic,

Saturday’s Chile earthquake was so powerful that it likely shifted an Earth axis and shortened the length of a day, NASA announced Monday. …[t]he story is quite similar to the December 26, 2004, magnitude 9.0 Sumatra earthquake…

With each of these earthquakes the earth has been shaken on its axis and the days have become shorter as a result. Though this shortening has been minuscule, to say the least, I accept these shorter days as proof that my 16 hour day hypothesis could someday pass into the realm of theory…someday.

My first conception of this hypothesis came to me while studying the scriptures. Firstly:

The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night. (Rev 8:12 NIV)

A day minus one third of the night and one third of the day would be 8 hours shorter than our current 24 hour day, or 16 hours. You don’t buy it? Why any need for shorter days? Here is one very good reason…

When I was a young girl, Easter was so special to my family and I always looked forward to Sunrise Service at my church.
I guess this is the time I began developing my faith because of how our preacher’s sermons led up to the true meaing of Easter.

Sit down and share this story of Easter faith with your friends and family. Discuss what Easter means to each of them. Maybe there will be some that have not yet accepted Christ as their Saviour and this will be a good time to tell them about Jesus.

To become a mature Christian, we should use a matured spiritual existence. Mature religious life is conformed towards the image of Jesus. Religious existence cannot be matured on its very own.

For religious existence being matured, you need to go by means of a specific procedure. Mature spiritual life calls for training. A matured believer is referred to as a disciple.

You will not grow to be a disciple unless you go through the training. The characteristic of the disciple is to take up your own cross every day. When we talk about Jesus, What is within your mind?

I once asked a Christian if an atheist could be a good person? I pointed out that that atheist was capable of being kind, considerate, loving, and in general a darn good specimen of a human being. The answer was that came from the Christian was a resounding yes, of course such a non-believer could be all of those things and more. Why then, I asked the Christian, is it so important that within your community of believers is there this unofficial unwritten rule which states that only Christians should date Christians. Even the Christian Dating Websites will kick off a self confessed non Christian! The response from the religious one was that their community has no qualms about non-Christians falling in love and settling down with devout believers so long as they convert to their faith prior to marriage. I came away thinking that we lived in a world segregated by race, creed, and colour, let alone class and national regions, and so long as we as people continued to not get along with our fellows if they didn’t fir neatly into our ‘own kind’ the this world is destine to implode as populations explode.
