17 Next, let us consider Luke 24:29

Consider Luke 24:29: “But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.”

Notice what we have just read in Judges 19:9 - “The day draweth toward evening. The day groweth to an end.

Now in the New Testament we read Luke 24:29 – “for it is toward evening and the day is far spent.”

Notice now, there speaks nothing in these two verses about sunset ending the day, or the day draweth toward sunset, or it is toward sunset.

It is the evening (Hebrew – erev) or as Luke wrote in the original Greek – hespera (meaning evening/dusk/twilight) and not sunset (bow shemesh or duo helios), which is given consideration in these two scriptures

Notice as well, these scriptures do not state that the day draweth toward evening; behold the day is ready to begin. Not at all! The evening does not begin a day.

Evening and end (of a day) are associated, not evening and beginning.

The evening ends a day. Let us learn more to support this Biblical Truth.
