Bishop Haywood, S.G. Norris (Apostolic Bible Institute), and F.E. Curts (UPC Ohio Dist. Supt.) in their day taught the theory that each "day" of creation was 7000 years long. I remember talking to my wife about that some years ago and saying something like, "Well, if Jesus doesn't come and if we live for the next 30-40 years, we'll find out if they were wrong." Bishop Haywood and Bro. Curts are both dead. I'm not sure about Bro. Norris but I assume he is.
