In a world of climate, economic and political crisis, it is easy to focus on goals that are too small. The prologue to Genesis does not end with day six and a perfect, fruitful creation. It ends in day seven and humanity in perfect relationship with God. The goal of creation and of humanity is to know God.
The goal of God
Genesis 2:1-3
The Seventh Day, God Rests
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.
