What's Best Reconciliation of Gen 1 and 2 You've Heard?

To the Forum;An Atheist put me on the right track.
He spotted these contradictions between Chaps. 1 & 2.A) "Let the earth bring forth grass, HERB ... the third day" - Gen 1.11, 13.
B) "the Lord God made the earth and the heavens before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any HERB of the field had grown ..." - Gen 2.4-5.THE CRITICAL FACTOR = HERB.In Chap. 1 the HERB was on the third day.
In Chap. 2 the HERB was after God made the earth and the heavens.So then, the Atheist had spotted the difference for me.
I burned with shame that an Atheist could read the Bible better than me.
Alexander Campbell explained this reading the Bible with a creed in your mind as, "they are reading with tinted glasses."And, that is what had happened to me; "The simple believes every word, but the prudent looks well to his going" (Prov 14.15).But then the Atheist undid all his good work with these words,
"This proves that the Bible is full of contradictions, and so, there is no God."
"The fool has said in his heart, 'No God'" - Ps 53.1.Immediately, I said to myself, "I can do better than that."So then, I ended up with a book manuscript entitled, "The Parable of the 7 Days of Creation."Day #2 = Gen 37.9-10; Jacob = Sun, Leah = Moon, Sons of Jacob = Stars; combined they = Government; or, Heavens.Days 6 & 7 = "I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is Day [Morning of the 6th Day], Night [Evening of the 7th Day] is coming when no one can work" - Jn 9.4.Night 7 = "For the Night [Evening of the 7th Day] is far spent, the Day [Morning of the 7th Day] is at hand" - Rom 13.12."For the Evening (first) and the Morning were the first day" - Gen 1.5.Day 7 = "Moreover the light of the [New] Moon [High Priest] as the light of the [New] Sun [King], and the light of the Sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days [of the old Sun] ..." - Isa 30.26.
A) Jesus = New High Priest, Heb 8.1.
B) Jesus = New King (Key of David - Rev 3.7).
C) Light of Israel = 1600 Furlongs (200 Miles) - Rev 14.20.
D) Light of New Jerusalem (in AD 77) = 12,000 Furlongs (1500 Miles).
E) 1600 F. X 7.5 = 12,000 F.
200 M. X 7.5 = 1500 M.STREET OF GOLD."In that Day [AD 77], there will be a Highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will serve with the Assyrians. In that Day
[AD 77] Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria -- a blessing in the midst of the land, whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, 'Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance'" - Isa 19.23-25.And, prophecy employing symbolism, these three nations referred to the scattered tribes of Israel, in AD 77 (that is another subject).And, this is the reconciliation of The Parable of Creation (Gen 1), and the Literal Creation (Gen 2)."There shall be no night there" - Rev 21.25.The reason that New Jerusalem has no Night is that she replaced the 7th Night."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" - Gen 2.2.THREE AGES OF MAN.Pre-flood, Old Heavens, New Heavens (New Jerusalem) - 2Pet 3.6,
3.7-10, 3.13.THE MARK OF THE BEAST; 3 = 2. See: Rev 13.6; Dan 7.25.hoaryhead

When dating a king of Israel's first year by referring to the year of the king of Judah; and vice versa; you cannot read three kings in a row without what seems to be a contradiction.A friend of mine, Dale V. Wilhoit, adjusted these king's reigns to harmonize perfectly.He did this by employing the secular historian's practice in dating the kings of the pagan nations.THE RULE WAS THIS."It is appropriate to assign co-reigns to kings, if there is no evidence to the contrary."In Babylon, Nabonidus co-reigned with his son Belshazzar.
This is the answer to your question on this subject.hoaryhead

Greetings Randman:Every day of "The Parable of the 7 Days of Creation" is interpreted in the Bible."For the evening and the morning were the first day" - Gen 1.5.In each day, Darkness is followed by Light.Adam and Eve being chased from the Garden of Eden, and losing their close relationship with God, was the Evening of the First Day."And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh.
Then men began to call on the name of the Lord" - Gen 4.26.
"Then God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light" - Gen 1.3.THE EVENING OF THE SECOND DAY.Men became "continually evil" and God destroyed the population of the earth, except for 8 souls of the fasmily of Noah.Adam and Eve died "in-day" (Heb.) they ate of the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil.The phrase "in-day" is the word day prefixed with the letter "B" which is the preposition "in."The Serpent said, "You will not die."And, doing much harm to their readers, the famous Bible commentators agreed with the Serpent, writing, "They did not die but put on humanity, and the ability to die later."But the Flood, ending the First Day was 1656 years after Adam was driven from Eden.
Adam lived 930 years.
And so, he died "in-day" he ate of the fruit.And the entire Parable is interpreted in the Bible like this.hoaryhead
