Personifications · 6 verses
Scripture personifies time itself as communicative and purposeful. 'Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.' Each day has a voice, testifying to God's faithfulness. The days of old are called to remembrance as teachers. 'Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.' The evil day is to be withstood; the day of the Lord comes as a thief. Days are numbered and appointed; our times are in God's hand. This personification transforms time from mere succession into meaningful narrative, each day a word spoken by God, each era a chapter in His unfolding purpose.
