#Explanation about when a day starts or ends.
*In this PART, we are going to look at 'midnight' to the deep; looking critically at 'sunset', 'sunrise', 'the midnight sun', evening, and morning.
*We defined 'midnight sun' in PART 2. Some regions in the world experience the 'midnight sun'; midnight sunrise and midnight sunset.
*Some of the areas in the World that experience the 'midnight sun' are:
    (1)Akureyri town, Iceland.
    (2)Finland; The 'Midnight 🕛 sun' or almost 24 hours of daylight occurred in the Arctic Region on 8th Jul, 2016.
    (3)Lofoten Islands, Norway: In the Arctic circle, 'Midnight sun' occurs in Summer season; in the Scandinavian Region.
    (4)Alaska: Areas close to the North Pole experience the 'midnight sun' in the Summer season.
    (5)etc.(VIEW IMAGES OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN IN THE COMMENTS OF THIS POST ON #BibleRevelations).
*The above verses reveal to you that a day starts in the morning at 'midnight'.
*Genesis 24:11; Women and daughters of men used to draw water from the well in the evening (could be from 4pm to 6pm). Abraham's servant couldn't have travelled by night(in the evening) for his camels needed to be watered in the long run. So, Abraham's servant and his men had to stay all night (Genesis 24:54), for the day(light) was gone, and rise in the morning to start a new day. Hence, a new day started in the morning night though still they couldn't travel back in the night; they must have waited for dawn.
*2Samuel 11:2,13; These two occasions in verses 2 and 13 must have both happened in the evening but on different days; occasion in 2 happened during day(light) and occasion in 13 prolonged through the evening night to early morning(next day).
*2Chronicles 31:3; The 'New Moons' appeared in the evening (from dusk 🌆or twilight to through the night🌃).
*Ezra 9:3,4 & 5; "And at the 'evening sacrifice' I arose up from my heaviness; ...". This shows us 'evening sacrifices' were done or offered at night.
*Esther 2:14: KJV- 2000(Holy Bible) used 'morrow' for 'morning' which means 'next day' or 'another day' or 'a new day'.
*Psalms 59:6; The Israelites returned home at 'evening' for the Day was yet to commence; there was need to rest and then start another day.
*Psalms 104:23; A day started in the morning and ended in the evening.
*Proverbs 7:9 & 18: Verse 7, "In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night". Verse 7 shows us that 'evening' consists of darkness(night) too.
*Jeremiah 6:4; This verse shows us that when the sun ☀ is over our heads, then it's noon(midday- 12pm); for beyond that time, our shadows start lengthening to the Eastern direction. "EVENING IS FROM NOON TO MIDNIGHT ACCORDING TO THE BIBLICAL UNDERSTANDING".
*Zechariah 14:7; Evening(day & night).
*Matthew 14:23; Evening sunset and evening night 🌃). Jesus spent his daylight in the synagogues preaching and daynight in the mountains of Olive praying 🙏 to God the Father.
*Matthew 16:2; Evening sunset- a fair weather; for the sky is red.
*Acts 28:23; A Day starts from morning to evening.
*John 20:19; Here, it must have been night; I think that's why the disciples were fearing to be lonely for they were not safe- they had alot of fear that was unbearable; so, they locked the door of the house. The Day was still on, it never ended at sunset; it was evening at night.
