9/23 5cc 01 Day 01 Ge(25) 2h11min
Ge 1:1
What Moses is telling us is what he is not saying according to what vision, revelation, and personal intuition available to him that judging from the much he is able to account every material available to God to prepare the earth--to be suitable for man's habitation whom God had had in mind and for whose purpose there was a bias for earth of the yet-to-be total numeration of planets in the cosmos--had been the makeup of the heavens or universe especially in relation to earth and had been in existence for as long as only-God-knows number of billeniums from "the beginning" until God conceptualized the suitability of a corporeal race of the man He had created and hosted psychecally.
Ge 1:2-31
So that what we, judging from the account, like to call "creative days" are really days of, or years of preparing and positioning and composing the single-out earth in relation to other planets in the entire universe to a form that God had judged would be suitable for man.
Thus, from discerning the line of creation or composition or recomposition or positioning or repositioning from the standpoint of God's mind, man really was the first of God's creation of what would be a physical but spirit-animated makeup, and man existed in God's mind even as he prepared a place to specially grow him or give him.
There is need then to say that I speak of creation here with respect to the so-called "six creative days." So that I shall say that the earth as a planet part of the heavens that together with other untold number of planets and stars and so and so make up the universe (perhaps including God's very own habitation) had long been created and been preparatory to the six creative days of preparing the earth for a new creation--man.
Therefore, the entire creative part of the Genesis account is to be summarized as:
The man will like it like this but it is like. this; let us cause it to be like this instead of like this to be suitable for the man creation to come that will like it like this.
Thus, it took God six groups of equal lengths of periods to make it like this suitable for man all He judged would be necessary for man. And, as presented to Moses and represented by Moses in this creative account of Genesis, each group of time accomplished a distinct activity or set of actions on God's to-do list until finally "there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a sixth day," upon which man finally arrived corporeal but inspirited and capable of retaining or sustaining such spirit until...

9/16 4cc 34 Day 34 Lu(24) 2h59min
Lu 18:1-8
1Sa 1:18 speaks of Hannah as having her face self-concerned no more after she had "prayed extendedly before Jehovah," 'pouring out her soul,' "out of the abundance of [her] concern and [her] vexation."
Did Hannah no more have any other concern besides this that would warrant more extended prayers?
This account at 1Sa was not about Hannah though. Still, no account of the Bible is so memoir-like to detail every bit of activity of a particular character from birth to death that we could tell that Hannah had no further needs to pray. But being human like us, we could safely conclude that she did. But, this case for a son was particular.
And, yet, here Jesus is illustrating the "need for [us] always to pray and not to give up," which evidently is in respect of certain difficulties.
Obviously, one can only persist in entreaty for some difficulty when such difficulty protracts and relief is a major concern, where the one understands the source of relief to be capable of bringing it about. But, being human, our patience and consequent persistence may easily wear thin--concluding we may not get this relief after all; why bother?
Lu 18:1-8 do indicate that Jehovah, in the present circumstances and order of things, may not be obliged to miraculously get us out of certain difficulties, troubles, or infirmities at certain times.
Nevertheless, if we pummel God to a finish by continually and persistently making him trouble with our own circumstance and the sort of relief we require he may just change his mind and "cause justice to be done to [us] speedily."
But, when the Son of man arrives, will he really find the faith on the earth?
