Genesis Lecture 24 (The First Day of Creation) Eng.
Bible passage: Genesis 1:3-5
“ [3] Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. [4] God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. [5] God called the light day, and the darkness He called night And there was evening and there was morning, one day. ”
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ.
This is 24th lecture on Genesis. In the last session, I talked about the evidences that God created the earth and about the time flow in the spiritual realm. After suppressing the rebellion of Lucifer, God the Father created the earth which would be the stage for human cultivation.
I told you that the crust and atmosphere of the earth was unstable when it was first created. Crustal movement continued with volcanic eruptions and the like and diverse activities were also taking place in the atmosphere. This early stage of the earth which was chaotic and void implies, in a physical sense, the process of laying the foundation of the earth, but at the same time, it also spiritually implies the status of God's heart. In other words, the hurt and empty heart of God the Father due to Lucifer's betrayal was similar to the appearance of the early earth.
However, God the Father soon recovered His peace of mind, and continued with the actual plan of the Creation in earnest. In order to create a basic environment on earth for living things, He caused the water of life which originates from the throne of God, to flow upon the earth. He let the earth sink under the water of life after its foundation had been firmly set due to active crustal movement and atmospheric activities. After God had submerged the earth He came down to this earth Himself.
At this time, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit also came with Him. Together, God the Trinity hovered over the earth and thought about what was needed and how to prepare for them. Genesis 1:2 implies this by saying, "the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters." Now, how long was it from when God created the earth in the beginning till He covered the earth with waters? I said that, even though the earth was created in the first heaven, which is a fleshly space.
