CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
A DAY TO REST
IMPLICIT MEANINGS OF THE SIXTH DAY
Who but the God of the Bible could truly relax on the day that He declared to be
holy? The gods created by other civilizations were always vigilant - forever fearful that
their status and whatever realm they governed could come under attack at any moment by
competing gods. Those gods often deceived each other and plotted against one another,
sometimes using humans as pawns in their cunning games of perpetual conquest.
The Hebrew God knew of no such threat. His status as Supreme Being was never in
peril by anyone or anything. The God of the Bible has no competition, for He is the
Creator of all things. He is the only God capable of letting His guard down to the rest
of the universe.
