4.2. The Significance of the Intertwined Days:
The flow of time according to the intertwined days is the real flow, because it indicates the manifest, outward order of events. The reason why there is a constant seven-hour step, as in the Tables IV.2 and IV.3 and Figure IV.3 above, is that the order of creation proceeds according to the seven main divine Names (and divine 'Days' of creation). For example, on Sunday (of the original Days of creation) the world starts 'hearing' the divine Command, which initiates the first dimension in creation. Then once the Sunday cycle (i.e., of the divine Attribute 'the All-Hearing') is over, the Monday cycle starts granting the world the attribute of 'the Living', and so on (see Table III.1 in the preceding Chapter). Thus the manifest world gains the qualities of these fundamental divine Attributes one after the other.
