2/3 If we exist and there’s an all-seeing, all-powerful being that exists, it must be intervention defeats the purpose of whatever plan there is. Otherwise, why would there be an individual (okay, millions of individuals throughout history) born into guaranteed suffering or painful victimhood? It can’t be that a creator doesn’t care. That’s not how real creators act on earth. It can’t be that this is a purpose, as how interesting could watching something suffer be, when you have the capacity to do anything? It’s boring watching things hurt and abusers are ridiculously predictable.
I disagree with the Christian 144,000 solution (of course) but it’s a logical conclusion. All of us reaching a state of blissful one-entity existence is logical, as of course it can’t be reached except through understanding reality, which can’t reached except through experience and thinking. Being reincarnated - taking the test over and over and over until you get it right - is also a logical conclusion.

Anyway, yes, days. Here’s the thing - even if God did say “periods of time” or a more reasonable word, the translators might have changed it to “days” because it felt less likely to lead to questions. You can’t ever discount the gatekeepers making things easy on themselves.
