Is life younger than 7,000 years as is the claim of Young-Earth Creationists? Others
like some Jehovah’s Witnesses and Bible Students believe that the creative days of
Genesis are each 7,000-years in length. Do these conclusions agree with scientific data of

as 7,000-year creative days...

As all students of God’s word are aware, God has special messages to give in each book and letter recorded in the Bible and the book of Matthew is no exception.

Here is a Man who came from the "Realms Above" (Jn 8.23) and enjoyed the Presence of his Father for past eons.

With this background now, we see the Nazarene waiting for the crowd on the mountain side to quiet as he prepares to utter his first public words in a full sermon...
