The prophetic understanding of the seven days of creation and the seventh-day rest continued to be passed down to later thinkers. Augustine, for example, writes:-- 'And God rested on the seventh day from all His works which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because that in it He had rested from all His work which God began to make [Gen. 2:2-3].' For we shall ourselves be the seventh day, when we shall be filled and replenished with God's blessing and sanctification. (City of God 618)
(188:3)
