FROM THE TREE TO THE CROSS

The first scroll of Genesis states that
“in the beggining God created the heavens and the earth”
was this part of the first day?
No actually it was not because it later in verse 3 says that after God created light by speaking it into existence and then the evening and the return of the light which would be morning marked the end of the first day.

There is no evening without sunset light, this is the marker of the Hebrews day for example shabbat or sabath day begins at sunset and ends at sunset the following day not morning to morning as we consider a day.

So what happened in the first period of time that was not part of the first day? Apparently alot because it says that the earth was in a state of TOHU, or as the kjv translators translated the word as without form. But in Isaiah 24:10 tohu is translated as confusion and even more interestingly in Isaiah 45:18 he says thus sayeth the YHWH or Yahweh which means the LORD, the one who created the heavens, he is God who created the earth and he did not create it in tohu “or vain”, he created it to be inhabited.

So how did the earth become in a state of vanity and confusion before the first day of creation even began when the LORD said through Isaiah that he did not originaly create it in that state, that he created it to support life and be inhabited.

I hope you are following me so far, my goal is not to put you in a state of tohu but rather to express that you can not speed read through Genesis, because every single letter, every single verse and every single translation deserves the most diligent of contemplation and study, without the proper research and development in your heart and mind of all of its depth and meaning you will completely miss the mark and the point.

For example it says in the first verse that the earth had fallen into a state of prideful or vain confusion, a state of chaos and desolation that had resulted in it becoming void and empty no longer capable of inhabiting life and no longer what God had created it for.
So the spirit of God hovered over the face of the abyss or sea that had become the result of this chaos and Gods path and response to take back the earth from its fallen state was
“let there be light”.
Or as I read it let there be Jesus.

The rest of the scroll of Genesis describes the following steps that God implimented in order to remove the state of confusion and chaos the earth had become and to make it inhabitable as he claimed it was meant to be in the great Isaiah scroll.
It’s important to know and understand that the terminology used in Genesis is of the utmost importance and is not casually placed such as when God says Let the earth bring forth and Let the waters abound, and then let us make man in our image, but I will leave the depth of meaning up to the reader to discover, I just want such things to be a question in your mind so that you search for the answers to them, such as if light was created on the first day but the sun and moon were not created until the forth day, what happened to that first light?

Now back to the original question did God create the world in six days or all at once? The answer is paradoxically both and neither.
Again im not trying to tohu you because the answer is that God did create the earth and the universe in one day but it was not part of our local universe and solar system day as we now know the time period of our earth and suns 24 hour period, however God created the earth to be ready to be inhabited by life but somehow it became in a state of chaos, most likely because of satan or the adversary who is sometimes associated with the abyss and the sea in other scriptures in the bible.

So God created order from chaos over the period of six days and re established the earth to be inhabited for his plan to create man.
Ultimately to me it’s not important the time frame of when he created the earth and when he established it for life and to be inhabited because after reading how Jesus described the father and how to him we are the fruits that his father gave him, I see the creation as God took the desolate land that was incapable of growing and anything good, and he worked it and tilled it and planted the seed of man so that we could grow and also bear fruit for the soon to come harvest and I just hope and pray that you will be in the same basket as me and not one of those who got choked out by the weeds and agents of tohu that caused the earth to become bohu and uninhabitable.
