Cheat Sheet

  1. Cosmic Foundations (Days 1 - 2) -

    According to Genesis 1:1 - 8 (NIV), God's creation for 7 days began by separating light from darkness (Day 1) and dividing the waters above and below by a firmament or sky (Day 2). This division establishes the basic structure of day, night, and atmosphere. Mnemonic: "Light, Loft" (think Light then Loft/firmament) to recall the first two creations.

  2. Land and Vegetation (Day 3) -

    On Day 3, God gathered the waters to reveal dry land and caused vegetation, seed-bearing plants, and fruit trees to sprout (Genesis 1:9 - 13). This moment highlights Earth's habitable environment and the role of plants in ecological cycles. Study reference: University of Oxford's Faculty of Theology notes the importance of "order emerging from chaos" in ancient creation narratives.

  3. Sun, Moon, and Stars (Day 4) -

    Genesis 1:14 - 19 records that God made two great lights and stars to govern day and night and to mark seasons, days, and years. Understanding this separation clarifies ancient perceptions of timekeeping and celestial functions. Formula-style memory aid: "LMS" = Light (sun), Moon, Stars.

  4. Living Creatures (Days 5 - 6) -

    Days 5 and 6 introduce sea creatures, birds, land animals, and humankind (Genesis 1:20 - 31). Note the progression from marine life to aerial life and finally to land dwellers, culminating in humans "in God's image," underscoring theological anthropology. Reference: Harvard Divinity School's "Genesis and Ancient Israel" courses analyze this ordered biodiversity.

  5. Sabbath Rest (Day 7) -

    The final day marks God's rest, sanctifying the seventh day as holy (Genesis 2:1 - 3). This concept of rest frames worship practices and the rhythm of time in Judeo-Christian traditions. Mnemonic phrase: "Seven Summits of Rest" to remember the completion and consecration of creation.
