The Hebrew wording, as we have seen and will continue to see, is expressing both physical and spiritual concepts.

In this creation story, we are being given practical facts with expressive vocabulary. That’s somewhat simplistic because, as we’ll see, it’s quite a stage. This short expose in Genesis 1 is to set the time ( after the chaos caused by the downfallen Lucifer) and the place ( on a restored Earth), revealing the props on stage and how they got there. It might even have some text: Paris 1936. In the first scene, it zooms in on a city or a ship or through an apartment window, so you know where you are. Let me add another point I will expand on at the end of Genesis chapter 1 t his is like the time and place-setting of a movie. We can mention Occam’s Razor here: A law of parsimony, economy, or succinctness, why do we want to complicate matters? Mathematicians talk about the beauty and poetry in equations. The most complex presented in the most minimalist, clear-cut terms. The simplicity of expressing the creation. More likely read, but maybe I’ll get into video and podcasting, and you will be able to listen to the word of God as well literally.
EARTH FIRMAMENT HOW TO
They’ll form a coherent picture of planet Earth with humanity, and how to reach peace and prosperity, I consider my role, that of The Explanation, as merely letting you hear the word of God. Maybe you’ll have a little more faith in what we cannot prove when you see the parts of the Bible puzzle assembled. You believe that assembling 30,000 strange looking car parts in a warehouse will produce as a fully working car.

There are processes and things that we cannot prove scientifically, that’s where the element of faith comes in.įrom where does faith, or belief, come? Paul answers, “ So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” (Hebrews 11:3). There is a biblical answer to Galacti’s uncertainty and reservation. Give it time, plenty of time, and take it one step at a time. Just daily chronicles as pieces of the puzzle. We won’t, suffice to say that just as you do not yet have the final picture composed of the pieces we’re putting together, similarly you’ll have to take the written word for what it says right now, or consider it a story. We could open a chapter, or even a book, about the writing and preservation of the Bible and develop a subject known as canonization. But he was not an eyewitness having lived hundreds of years after these events. In the New Testament, Jesus’ words (we will be getting to Him in more detail later on) indicate Moses, one of the most prominent Old Testament figures as the author of The Law (Luke 24:44), which includes the book of Genesis. Galacti’s observations are correct on both accounts and merit an explanation even a lengthy one, but we will keep it short. These biblical explanations seem too simplistic. So, where does this account come from, and what can its value be? Secondly, there are but a few words covering significant phenomena, for instance, night and day involve the movements of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. Galacti is taking all of this knowledge about Genesis in, and, amongst others, two thoughts are befuddling him at this point: Apparently, no human exists until day six so there isn’t any eyewitness information before this. The Hebrew also indicates the waters were within and under the firmament Earth’s Firmament definition is expanse meaning its Atmosphere or Sky.

Earth’s sky or atmosphere IN which and UNDER which there is water. Earth’s Firmament, its ‘expanse’ as the Hebrew puts it.
