God's Day: When Does It Start (Part 2 of 3) ?

In the previous post (God's Day: When Does It Start? we showed by Matthew 28:1 that God's day starts
as sunrise.

However, Deuteronomy 19:15 says:

"A single witness shall not rise up against a man on account of any iniquity or any sin which
he has committed; on the evidence of two or three witnesses a matter shall be confirmed."

and this caution is confirmed by 6 other similar verses in the Bible.

Therefore we must find at least 1 more (preferably at least 2 more) Bible verses to prove when God's
day starts.

As our next best witness, I propose Lot's daughter just after they escaped the destruction of Sodom &
Gomorrah, as described in Genesis 19:30-38

Genesis 19:30-38 King James Version (KJV)

30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with
him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.

31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the
earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:

32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve
seed of our father.
 33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with
her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I
lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in,
and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.

35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay
with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.

37 And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the
Moabites unto this day.

38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the
father of the children of Ammon unto this day.

In Verse 33, the daughters encouraged their father to drink way too much wine during the night. The
eldest daughter then went in and laid with her father. Since the Bible says "that night", it is obviously
after sundown when this occurred.

In Verse 34, it's the next day (...on the morrow,...). The elder daughter says, "Behold, I lay yesternight
with my father...", which doubly confirms the eldest daughter laid with her father the night before, the
previous day.

In Verse 35, the daughters encouraged their father to drink much wine again "...that night also;...", and
the younger daughter went in and slept with her father also.

The following diagram is a timeline showing Genesis 19:30-38 while assuming God's day starts at
sunrise. Each full day is colour coded so as to help show the moment when one day ends and the next
day begins. For full size, click on the image.

Figure 1: Chart of Timeline for Genesis 19:30-38 when assuming God's day starts at sunrise

As can be seen in Figure 1, the biblical description matches with the timeline chart. Therefore
Genesis 19:30-38 supports the assumption of the sunrise being the breakpoint from one day to the
next.

In Figure 2 below, we see a similar timeline chart, but this time, we assume the day changes at sunset.
In this case, the biblical description does not match the timeline, as the elder daughters says the next
day in Verse 34 that she had slept with her father in the night of the previous day, however both these
events occur in the same blue coloured day. Therefore we must conclude that this assumption (that
the day begins at sunset) is in error. Click on Figure 2 to see it full size.
 Figure 2: Chart of Timeline for Genesis 19:30-38 while assuming God's day starts at sunset

We find that Figure 1 is accurate and Figure 2 contradicts itself. The assumption used in Figure 2 is
therefore found to be flawed.

I therefore conclude that God's Day begins at sunrise

The next post will be Part 3, the final post on this issue, further proof that God's day begins at sunrise.

I am interested in your comments and feedback. Have I missed something? Did I make an illogical
jump to an unsupported conclusion?

How does this conclusion affect your life?

Do you support my conclusion? If not, what biblical reference supports your opinion?
