Well? It "confirms" the point that God, in an "age", before this one. Same "planet" different "age", totally destroyed EVERYTHING from off the face of the earth! No Noah! No ark! No animals two by two! No Nuttin'!
Because of "disbelief" in Him!
Noah's flood, as is generally referred to? Same response to the same problem/s!
He merely divorced Israel, for the same reason/s!
The warning given in Romans to believers in Christ?
Is the same as it is to Israel! (Goodness and Severity)
Disbelief, Lawlessness, Godlessness, Rebellion aka "attempted" overthrow?
Although, many millennia has passed since the first earth age?
God's SONG? REMAINS THE SAME!
"Though Heaven and earth (ages) MAY pass away?"
"My WORDS shall NEVER pass away!"

Is not fictional. Not at all! Of course, that's what "precepts of men", teaches ones to believe. But, it is just that! Precepts of men!
The "beginning" is when God created the heaven and the earth. Long before verse 3.
Psalm 90
2 BEFORE the mountains were brought forth, or EVER THOU HAST FORMED THE EARTH and the world(ages), even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. (age to age)
3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

So when is the eighth day? The eighth day is when all things are created new.

Ephesians 1:11-14
In him, according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to the counsel of his will, we who first hoped in Christ have been destined and appointed to live for the praise of his glory. In him you also, who have heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, which is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
2 Corinthians 5:16-17
From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
-----------
The 2 Corinthians verses might sound like it is saying that today we are new creations. But it means that we should regard ourselves as new creations. We regard ourselves no longer slaves to the flesh even though we are still in the flesh.
Ephesians 1:11-14 sheds more light on this. That we have been marked for salvation and have received the guarantee of our inheritance, but we have not yet received our inheritance. We receive our inheritance on the 8th day, when all things are created new.
This is how I see it currently.
God created on the first six days, rested or ceased from creating on the seventh day, and will begin creating again on the eighth day. How long are any of these days? We do not know from scripture.
Revelation 21:1-5
21 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, [a]John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.”
-------
We are created new on the eighth day, when God makes all things new.
Jews were circumcised on the 8th day as a symbol of what was to come on the eighth day. They were not created new on the eighth 24h day of their lives. The circumcision was merely a symbol pointing to the future eighth day when they will be created new.
So when is the eighth day? The eighth day is when all things are created new.

The beginning refers to the physical universe and time. Before that there was a timeless eternal family we call God. Creation in all its forms is a physical manifestation of reality which is spiritual and what the Bible calls the Kingdom of heaven. The whole plan of God revealed in the Bible is to bring humanity into Sonship, into Gods family.
They often didn't honor the sabbath year.
Jesus died on a friday afternoon and was raised to life on a Sunday morning.
This is not a full 72 hours (three 24 hour days). It is however covers a span of three days. And yet Matthew 12:40 suggests otherwise indicating that Jesus was to be dead for exactly 72 hours.
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Can you explain this seeming discrepancy?

No. The beginning was the point when the body of invisible light emerged from the eternal light to form the finite expanse of space of this physical world.
Why a beginning?
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; John 5:26
How it began?
As was said, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
So by looking at what the Son did when he made man on earth, this reflects what the Eternal One did in the beginning when he brought forth his only begotten.
But I digress, so I will conclude with 2 John 9 by avering to "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well:" it doesn't say you are right, but that your are doing better than those without a God. Yet before you think you got it right consider the rest of the verse. "the devils also believe, and tremble." Point being, whether you believe in one or three, "Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son."

They often doesn't honor doesn't mean that what is written...for the same reason the first temple was destroyed because of their unbelief and didnt rest the and as was commanded.
The 72 hrs you are talkig about is just a theory and on contrary it is jot 72 hours if possible two consecutive sabbaths. Even so they didnt put oil till the sabbath was finished...
Still why would you believed something that is so weak? You are defending a lie. And you caught up with more lies...

Modern science says the 8th day is when the smallest amount of blood a baby can shed when circumcised, but who really knows the reason. What we can do is believed and not add anything to it. It was commanded to them then they follow...in fact abraham was circumcise at 99 yrs old.
Gen 17:24 KJV And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
So the important is they are circumcised.
