The Effect of the Moon / Eugene Boudin / 1891 |
The gravity of the moon regulates tides on Earth, and effects creatures. Also, light from the moon is important to many living things. Its influence is essential to life on Earth. No, it's not there by any cosmic evolutionary fairy tale; it was put there by God, and he had reasons for doing it.
Earth is ruled, in part, by lunar rhythms. It is “tuned” to the moon’s periodic rhythms in its daily and monthly cycles as well as annual seasons. This illustrates Genesis 1:16, which states God purposefully programmed the moon to “rule” the night.To read the rest, click on "The Moon Rules".
Animistic and polytheistic religions personify the moon, but what does Genesis teach about its effects on the earth and creatures living here? In other words, how can the moon, which is inanimate, rule anything?
God programmed the moon to rule in at least two ways: 1) by gravitational attraction—which is physically quite forceful; and 2) by providing reflected light to Earth, which rotates so one side is always facing the moon.
