Creation Moment 11/1/2023 - The External Context

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,.. Genesis 2:4

"The external context for the Creation and Flood is as follows:

The chronology that places these events in an absolute position on an

overall Biblical time scale, i.e. 4004 BC for the Creation week, 2348 BC for the Flood event, etc. 
The sequence, or order of occurrence of the separate events, i.e., the Flood occurred after the Creation, and
The duration, consisting of the elapsed time of 1656 years between the two events (Genesis 5:3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 25, 28; 7:6 and 11) wherein the ‘days and years’ of Genesis 5, are defined in the time-measuring system, the astronomical clock, set up on Day 4 of the creation week (Genesis 1:14)."
