Overview
On the seventh and last day (also known as part of the Pre-Flood or Lost World phase) of Creation Week about 6,000 years ago, God completed His creation of Earth and the marvelous universe that surrounds it, and He ceased His work and rested, and thus He blessed this day of the week. Because of this, on this day of the week, people shall rest from their work.
The illustrations on the right display a concept of what the original supercontinent (Rodinia as well as the ocean of Mirovia) may have looked like. Genesis 2:1-3 states: 2 Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. 2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. |
Geology and biology
Now the Earth and its associated geological and ecological activity remained relatively stable for the next 1,656 years (with possible exceptions for occasional irregular weather, storms, and stressed animal and human activity), and each kind of organism (including mankind) remained fruitful and multiplied upon the entire planet to produce a wide variety of different species to inhabit different niches and environments of this prehistoric world.
