Israel – Oldest City in The World
Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
Why is the observation that "it was good" missing on the second day?
The account of the first six days of creation as found in Genesis 1 is highly stylized, though with variations. For instance, each day ends, “And there was evening, and there was morning—the (n)th day.”
One variation that jumps out pertains to the statement, “And God saw that it was good.” This phrase is present on each of the first six days, except that it is peculiarly absent on the second day. I do note that on the third day this statement appears twice, with its first appearance being after what feels like a continuation of the separation of waters begun on the second day. It’s absence is conspicuous enough, though, that it feels intentional on the part of the author. But what was the author trying to convey here? Why omit this otherwise repeated refrain?

Regardless the nonsense reasoning of Dame Kathlyn Kenyon, Jericho is not(!) the oldest city in the world. Anyone who wishes to understand why can read the preview of my next book which I did for my dear friend, the late Dr. Norman Geisler.
