God created Adam on the 6th day. How long from then did God create the marriage institution?

Same day He created Adam,
And He created them Man and Woman and He said to them be Fruitful

Number "6"
Man was created on the sixth day (Gen. 1).Men should work for six days in a week(Ex. 23.12). A Hebrew serves as slave for only six years(Deut. 15.12).The land of Canaan is to be cultivated successively for six years(Lev. 25.3).Human history is altogether about six thousand years.Moses waited in the mountain for six days before God appeared to him(Ex. 24.15-18).The throne of Solomon has six steps to ascend(1 Kings 10.19).The hours of the day may be divided by 6.The sixth letter to the Church mentions the hour of trial upon the whole earth(Rev. 3.10).The sixth seal reveals the wrath of the Lamb upon mankind (6.12ff.).The sixth trumpet predicts the killing of one third of the world population(9.13ff.).The sixth bowl prepares the way for the kings of the world—under the instigation of the unclean spirits—to war against Christ (16.12ff.).The human name of the incarnated Word is Jesus, which in the Greek original is composed of six letters.Six times the Lord Jesus was attacked as demon possessed;how the natural man is always ready to attack our most holy Lord.
When man under the hand of Satan opposes God,his number is frequently connected with the number 6.Goliath is the first example mentioned:his height was six cubits and a span, and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron (1 Sam. 17.4,7).The golden image of Nebuchadnezzar is the second example:its height was sixty cubits, and its breadth was six cubits(Dan. 3.1-3).The future Antichrist is the third example: his number will be 666 (Rev. 13.18).

Lucifer was only well positioned. It never meant he was the first.

Any scripture backing to this?

OLAADEGBU:
When Jesus said that Adam and Eve were created in the beginning of creation, was the beginning billions, millions or thousands of year ago?

Matt:198Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
Here our Lord was talking about the begining of union in marriage and not creation itself.

Number "5"
The Lord Jesus uses five loaves to feed the five thousand hungry (Matt. 14.17);this expresses the Lord’s grace. David chooses five smooth stones to overcome Goliath (1 Sam. 17.40);this manifests man’s responsibility. The fifth book of the Bible, Deuteronomy,relates how God gives grace and how people are responsible afterwards.The fifth kingdom of the world will be the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ(Dan. 2.35,44; Rev. 11.15). All who desire to enter His kingdom and to reign with Christ have tremendous responsibility! Matthew 5-7 lays down the conditions.Deuteronomy,the fifth book of the Bible,speaks also of how the people must behave after entering the promised land,which is a type of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Number "4"
"4" is the number of the world. God apportions the world dominion to four kingdoms: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome.The materials representing world power in Nebuchadnezzar’s image are gold, silver, brass and iron (Dan. 2).The world kingdoms in God’s eyes are like four beasts (Dan. 7). 4 as the number of the world may also be seen in this number’s relationships with the world.The world has four seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter.It has four corners: east, west, south and north (Num. 2).It has four basic elements: earth, air, water and fire. It has four winds (Rev. 7.1). The river which flowed out of the earth’s paradise—the garden of Eden—was parted and became four heads (Gen. 2.10-14). The living creatures which represent the created world are four in number (Rev. 4.6).In Ezekiel we are told that the cherubim,which are the same as the living creatures,have four faces:that of the lion,ox,man, and eagle; and they have also four wings (ch. 1). Mankind on earth is described in a foursome: peoples,multitudes, nations,and tongues (Rev. 17.15).The heart conditions of men,according to the parable of the sower as spoken by the Lord Jesus,are of four kinds (Matt. 13.3-9, 18-23).The tribulations which come as judgment upon the world are also four in number: war, famine, pestilence and earthquake (Matt. 24.6,7 AV; cf. Luke 21).Those which bear witness to the Lord Jesus are the four Gospels which reveal the four aspects of Christ. At the height of men’s sin, the four soldiers divided among themselves the garments of the Lord Jesus (John 19.23).The altar set up for men is "foursquare"with four horns (Ex. 27.1,2).The fourth of the Ten Commandments is the first of the remaining ones that touch upon the things of the world (Ex. 20).The fourth clause in the so-called Lord’s Prayer is also that which commences to deal with matters pertaining to this earth (Matt. 6.9-13).The things God created on the fourth day were to rule over the days and nights on earth.The fourth book of the Bible,Numbers, relates the experience of the wilderness which is a type of the world.

The Number "3"
"3" is the number of personal completeness.It is the number of the Godhead, it standing for the triune God.It is formed by 1 plus 1 plus 1.But if the 1’s are multiplied,the result is still 1.So that God is 3 in 1 and 1 in 3.In geometry two lines do not make a cube.Hence 2 is an incomplete number while 3 is the first complete number. It therefore represents God.A complete man is formed with spirit,soul and body.A complete family is composed of father, mother and children.A complete faith consists of knowledge,works and experience.3 is also a number of resurrection.The Lord Jesus is resurrected on the third day.The earth came out of the water on the third day.A person is born again through the preaching of the gospel which comes not in word only but also in power and in the Holy Spirit (1 Thess. 1.5).Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days. The restoration of the nation of Israel is also connected with the numeral 3 (Hosea 6.1,2).This number 3 is frequently related to God;such as when people are baptized into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matt. 28.19).The benediction of the apostle Paul is also couched in the Triune formula of 3 in 1 (2 Cor. 13.14).The Lord Jesus was tempted three times;and He prayed three times in the garden of Gethsemane.Peter denied the Lord three times; he was asked three times by the Lord:"Lovest thou me?"; and three times he was told,"Feed my sheep" (John 21.15-17)."There are three who bear witness" to the Son (1 John 5.. In praising God,the seraphim cried one to another: "Holy, holy, holy"(Is. 6.3).The four living creatures are also found saying,"Holy, holy, holy" (Rev. 4..The largest piece of furniture in the tabernacle is the altar, which is capable of containing all the rest of the tabernacle furniture.The altar stands for the cross which satisfies the righteousness of God.It is three cubits tall, signifying that the righteousness of the cross has reached the standard of God. When God judged men’s sin in Christ,the heaven and earth were darkened for three hours. According to Hebrews 9.23-28, the Lord Jesus appears three times:the first time He appeared to put away sin (v.26); the second time He appears before the face of God to intercede for us (v.24);and the third time He shall appear to them who wait for Him to the redemption of their body (v.28).

The Number "2"
"2" is the number of the Lord Jesus. He is called the second man (1 Cor. 15.47).He has two natures—that of God and man. His works fall into two stages—suffering and glory.In reading Leviticus,we find that a person who sins shall bring two turtle-doves or two young pigeons to God as his trespass-offering: one is to be offered as a sin-offering and the other as a burnt-offering (Lev. 5.7).A sin-offering is offered up for the sake of sin; a burnt-offering is offered up for the sake of the person.God forgives sin and accepts the person.This also is two-sided.All this represents the salvation of the Lord Jesus.2 is likewise the number of salvation.The second Person in the Godhead—the Lord Jesus—is the Savior of the world.
2 also speaks of addition, help and fellowship:"Two are better than one,because they have a good reward for their labor.For if they fall,the one will lift up his fellow;but woe to him that is alone when he falleth,and hath not another to lift him up.Again, if two lie together,then they have warmth; but how can one be warm alone?And if a man prevail against him that is alone,two shall withstand him;and a threefold cord is not quickly broken"(Eccl. 4.9-12).
2 is the number of testimony as well.The testimony of two different individuals is true. Please read Deuteronomy 17.6, 19.15,Matthew 18.16, 2 Corinthians 13.1, and 1 Timothy 5.19.The witness of God towards men is seen in the Old Testament and the New.The names of the disciples are given in twos (Matt. 10.2-4).The disciples went forth to bear witness two by two.The tablets of the testimony are two in number.During the Great Tribulation, there will be two dramatic witnesses (Rev. 11.3). The second Person of the Godhead is the Word of God and the Faithful Witness (Rev. 19.13; 1.5).
2 has another meaning: it speaks of division, difference and contrast. For instance, during the second day of creation, God divided the waters from the waters.The animals entered the ark in pairs (Gen. 6.19,20).A woman who bore a maid-child would be unclean for two weeks, doubling the days for bearing a male-child (Lev. 12.5).
2 has still another meaning:it is the number of production.2 is the first number after 1 is added on;it is therefore not a complete number.More numbers may be added onto it to make it perfect. The Holy Father and the Holy Son are not complete without adding the Holy Spirit to the Trinity.The husband and wife are joined in one, but in God’s eyes the family is not complete till children are added.

Let me add to the above Numbers!

"1" is God’s number: "Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah" (Deut. 6.4); "there is one God" (1 Tim. 2.5). 1.represents independence, which admits of no other; it expresses the power of God.1 implies a sufficiency which needs no other; it shows forth the abundance of God.1 is the beginning of all numbers;it demonstrates the greatness of God.For He is the source of all things. He is unique.He is the Head of all things.
Passover marks the beginning of months;it is to be the first month of the year (Ex. 12.2). This points to the redemption of God. The redemptive work at Calvary heads up all things. That which God created on the first day was light;this is the power of God. The first book of the Bible is Genesis which reveals God’s power and glory. All the firstborn of the sons of the Israelites belong to the Lord,for they are holy to the Lord (Ex. 22.29).The first of the firstfruits of the ground must be brought into the house of God,for He should be served first (Ex. 23.19).
1 also speaks of harmony or oneness: "The dream of Pharaoh is one" (Gen. 41.25).
1 also signifies peace:"that they may be one, even as we are" (John 17.11). It shows a relationship.To sum up,we may say that since 1 is the foundation of all numerals,it is God’s number.All things begin at 1; God is the beginning of all things.1 is the fundamental unit, the summing up of all numbers; and hence God holds all things together in himself. No numeral precedes 1,and thus it represents the absolute God in heaven.

Many numbers in the Bible have significance
The following are some examples.

One(1)signifies the one unique God.1Cor8:6.

Two(2) signifies fellowship.Eccl4:11.

Three(3) also signifies God because He is triune. One refers to God’s unity, and three refers to God’s completion.Matt28:19.

Four(4) is the first number that is built upon three. It is three plus one. Hence, four is the number of creation. Everything that relates to the creature is four in number. For example, there are four corners of the earth, four seasons, four winds, and four rivers that flow from the garden of Eden. The image in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream has four sections. Four beasts come out of the sea. The living creatures that represent all creation are four in number. The Lord Jesus’ life on earth is recorded in four Gospels. Everything that is produced from God is four in number.

Five(5)is the number of man’s separation. The left hand has five fingers. So does the right hand. Of the ten virgins five are foolish and five wise. Five also signifies human responsibility before God. The ear is one of the five organs, the thumb is one of the five fingers, and the big toe is one of the five toes. Applying the blood to the right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot signifies man’s separation to bear responsibility before God.

Six(6)is man’s number. Man was created on the sixth day. Seven is the number of perfection. Six is less than seven. This means that what man does can never match what God does.

Seven(7)is the number of perfection. This perfection refers to the present temporary perfection; it is not eternal perfection. Three is the number of God. Four is the number of the creature. The sum of the Creator with the creature is perfection. God plus man equals perfection.(3+4=7)But this is only three plus four; it is a temporary perfection. Everything temporal in the Bible is signified by seven. For example, there are seven days to a week, seven parables in Matthew 13, seven churches in Revelation, seven lampstands, seven messengers, seven seals, seven trumpets, and seven bowls. All these refer to temporal perfection rather than perfection in eternity.

Eight(is the number of resurrection. Seven is a cycle. Eight is the first number after seven. The Lord Jesus resurrected on the eighth day. Hence, eight is the number of resurrection.

Nine(9)is three times three, a multiplicity of God’s number. God’s testimony is not only God’s word but God’s speaking to us.

Ten(10)signifies human perfection. The human number is completed at ten. For example, there are ten fingers to the hands and ten toes to the feet.

Eleven(11) does not have much significance in the Bible.

Twelve(12) is also a number for perfection, but this perfection refers to the perfection in eternity. There are two numbers for perfection: seven and twelve. Seven is divine perfection and has to do with today. Twelve is also divine perfection, but it has to do with eternity. The interesting thing is that in the new heaven and new earth, the number seven will be gone. The New Jerusalem has twelve gates, twelve foundations, the names of the twelve apostles, twelve kinds of precious stones, and twelve pearls. The wall of the city was a hundred and forty-four cubits, which is twelve times twelve(12*12=144). All these will remain forever. Thus, twelve signifies eternal perfection. Why is seven temporal perfection and twelve eternal perfection? Three plus four is simply God plus man(3+4=7),the Creator plus the creature. But three times four is the Creator multiplied by the creature(3*4=12). This means that the two are mingled together. There is a difference between addition and multiplication. In multiplication, God and man are no longer separate. It is a oneness between the creating God and the created beings. Such a oneness is eternal. Hence, the perfection signified by twelve is an eternal perfection.
You can add yours but no insults pls!!

Job1:10
"Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land.
Zach.2:5
And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,' declares the LORD, 'and I will be its glory within.'
Eph6:10-11
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.
Yes we do as stated above.

OLAADEGBU:
What is your understanding of what the Lord said in Revelation 2:4-5?

Rev2:4-5 is out of context of the subject matter don't you think?
1.Christ was addressing the church in Epesus not an individual or part of the body of Christ.
2.it has nothing to do with Salvation been lost which is a free gift but everything to do with entering His Kingdom which demands WORKS!

OLAADEGBU:
How so?

I
Don't have much time now
But,let me ask you.can Christ die for us again?
I don't think so.exspect one is not truely saved at first.
What He did was once and for all.QED.
our problem has been mixing His Kingdom with Eternal Life.one demands works and the latter is free.

analice107:
Oh, there's a misunderstanding here. You take buildings/Structures to be Churches, I take people/individuals to be Churches.

You aren't getting me.see,all man's endeavours to build something from earth to heaven by human ability is bricks.
Some smart/intelligent people after studying little theology now thinks they can preach without direction or revelation of the Holy Spirit,Bricks that's what it is.
Because someone is a bank manager,he now managers the affairs of the church without directive from the Spirit?Bricks!
Wizz kid/davidio heading/leading praise and worship in service with no directive from Him?Bricks!!

analice107:
Since all are disqualified, that means Christ is left without a flock abi?

No not all but anything made of brick in the church goes nowhere

Martinez19:
what is gns101?

https://www.unaab.edu.ng/attachments/453_COURSE%20DESCRIPTION%202.pdf

analice107:
You just described the Catholic Church. Having a form of godliness but denying the Power.

Not just the catholic,but also Pentecostal,cc,baptist etc
All works of the flesh goes no were.

Martinez19:
Allegories and metaphors. The way christians try to make sense out of absurd biblical stories.

Dude that's the bible for you man.it has nothing to do with gns101.

OLAADEGBU:
Can a Christian lose salvation? Is there any way that salvation can be lost? Once I am saved, is that salvation assured and secured?

A true Christain?not possible.

Two women were spoken of in Revelation 17:1-3 and 21:9-10, one is called the great harlot(false church)
and the other is called the bride(the church of Christ)
Let's look briefly at the harlot.the harlot spoken of in Rev.17 and 18 is Babylon.
The name Babylon originates from "Babel." Which in terms speaks of the tower of Babel in Genesis and the principle of the tower of Babel involves the attempt to build up something from earth to reach unto heaven. When men built this tower, they used bricks. There is a basic difference between brick and stone. Stone is made by God, and bricks are made by man. Bricks are a human invention, a human product. The meaning of Babylon relates to man's own efforts to build a tower to reach unto heaven. Babylon represents man's ability. It represents a false Christianity, a Christianity which does not allow the Holy Spirit to have authority. It does not seek the Holy Spirit's guidance; it does all things by human effort. Everything consists of bricks baked by man; everything depends upon man's action. Those who are according to this principle do not see that they are limited; rather, they attempt to do the Lord's work by their own natural ability. They do not stand in a position where they are truly able to say, "Lord, if You do not give us grace, we cannot do anything." They think that man's ability can suffice for spiritual things. Their intention is to establish something upon the earth that will reach to heaven.
God, however, can never accept it.
The principle of second also comes to mind.the first are always according to the flesh but the second according to the Spirt.
So the towel is man made church.

At OP
Try and refocus your mind mainly toward God and His Will in your life and everyother thing will definitely be added to your life.
Stop looking at yourself,mates and environment and start looking more closely at Him.

Exo12:7, 22-23
"And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper doorpost of the houses, wherein they shall eat it."

"And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you."

The most important point is the striking of the blood. The Lord has died. But why is it that so many sinners are still perishing? There is only one reason; they have not struck the blood.
How do we strike the blood? The blood is to be struck on the lintel and on the two side posts and is to remain in the basin. This means there is blood on top, below, and on the two sides. The cross reaches all four directions; it reaches the top, the bottom, the left, and the right.
One can be saved only by passing through the blood. One can look up to heaven only by passing through the blood.
"Hyssop" is the smallest of all plants (1 Kings 4:33). The New Testament also mentions one thing as being the smallest, the mustard seed. The mustard seed symbolizes our faith. The blood must be applied with the hyssop. The blood must be received by faith. Although the faith is small, we have to strike the blood with this small and tiny hyssop.
What does God say about the blood? He said, "When I see the blood, I will pass over you" (Exo. 12:13). This is a very important word. The "I" here is God Himself. The meaning of Passover is that God passes over us when He sees the blood. The one who strikes the blood does not see the blood; it is God who sees the blood.You do not have to see the value of the blood. You are inside the door, and the blood is outside the door. The blood is not for you to see. God does not need you to see the blood. You only need to exercise your faith. Although you may not feel it or see it, you only need to believe. The important thing is for the blood to be applied. If the blood is applied, there is no need to worry.

@Op
I don't think Micheal was the first angel created by God.that position should go to Lucifer naturally.

If you are a Christain try and study your bible daily and pray standing on the ground of Calvary

MrSinister:
This is the first time something like this is happening! I just woke up from sleep a few moments ago and what woke me up is the strangest thing ever! While I was asleep, I kept on hearing a voice, my voice, repeating a particular Bible verse; Isaiah 5: 5. I am sure I wasn't dreaming. This Bible verse was on replay in my mind (or head where I was hearing it) over and over again until I opened my eyes. For some reason, I picked up my phone (since my Bible wasn't near me) and Googled the Bible passage to know what it was talking about. This is what I found...

Is 5:5 - Now I will tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be destroyed; I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled. - NIV translation.

I don't know what to make out of this. I don't know whether it applies to myself or someone else.

I am a professed Christian, but I stopped practicing Christianity seriously (the way I believe it should be done) since 2012. Within that time and now, i have done all sorts (though I don't believe I am evil, and still do good when I have the opportunity to).

This is very strange, and I am disturbed...

Ask Him the particular area He called you and work on it
He's just trying to wake you up from your slumber.

mrstheo:
I having serious issues in my life that I can't explain. Please where can I go for deliverance From spiritual attack.

Pray and fast then STUDY His Word dairly(mainly early in the morning)
The more you study His Word,the more it becomes your flesh(John1:14) and the more your old flesh is cast out gradually and steady.just like when Isaac started growing teeth Ishmeal was cast out.Isaac typifies things of the spirit while Ishmeal represents the old flesh.Gen21:8-10.
Be careful in jumping from one church house to the next.settle the matter yourself first before trying to join a meeting.beside deliverance is a continuous process in our life.

Joagbaje:
Maybe a smokescreen for military. Its prayed time

Yes,
From the military,they can now install there stooge.

Psalm2
1Why do the nations conspirea
and the peoples plot in vain?
2The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
3“Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”
4The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
5He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6“I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
8Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9You will break them with a rod of ironb ;
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
10Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.........
I believe the current uproars/crisises surging up from the Northern part of Nigeria against the Igbos and some Northern youth has nothing whatsoever to do with secession
by the Igbos but everything to do with self proclaimed kings and elders waring against God and His anionted(being our Acting President)
The quit-notice was a smoke-screen.
We(believers) has to raise,watch and pray.

He fell before Gen1:3.after Gen1:1.
He was in the first Eden.before the recreation of the second which started in Gen1:3.
EZIKEL28:13...You have been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of your tabrets and of your pipes was prepared in you in the day that you were created.
