Hi everyone I'm new here and I was reading below on Gods Sabbath Rest (7th day) and was wondering if anyone here took these days as "similitudes" pointing to Christ. They seem to recount Christ and the Cross over and over if we look real close. Of course I have nothing mapped out or any fancy presentation concerning it but enough verses which makes me consider Christ and the Spiritual words used to express spiritual truths concerning Him. Its to our glory to see Him and Prove Him.
For instance (I should start with the first day but I'll start with the seventh first). Either way is fine because HE is the FIRST and the LAST (you'll see why)
When Jesus "Finished" His work on the Cross we can connect this with God resting from His work on the Seventh day(In Genesis) making that day "Holy" with the blood of Christ. Reason I came to this was looking at Davids Child, He died on the Seventh day and that could also be seen as a similitude of Christ as well. For out of Davids Loins God was to "raise up" our savoir. Christ being the firstborn from the dead can also be seen in this as well. These are just a few things to consider. So we have Davids child that died on the Seventh day, Christ on The Cross saying, "it is finished" (Gods work) and YEILDING UP His Spirit and God RESTING on that day. Its a hidden picture of the Cross RIGHT HERE in Genesis!
The Seventh day on "our calendars" is not important as it is in seeing what this day "signifies" as it relates to Christ. The Sabbath was made for man (US)(The day the LORD has made) Thats why we are not to judge anyone in regards to sabbath days the True Rest is in the Finished work of Jesus Christ seen right here in Genesis.
RIGHT after the SEVENTH DAY in Genesis look what happens (keeping in mind the cross of Christ) It says a MIST WENT UP and watered the surface of the ground. Right at the Cross Christ commends His Spirit back up to His Father.
Now we can return back to the FIRST DAY (He's the first and the last)
But turning to the "First day" I'm really begining to find that the True begining Genesis is talking about is The Cross. For example;
In the Begining was the Word (Christ/ Light of the world) and the Word (Christ) was with God (My Father is with me) and the Word (Christ) was God (anyone who has seen me has seen the Father). He was the True Light that was coming into the World (seen in Genesis) but the darkness has not understood that. As one man He came in the flesh and when He died He poured out His Spirit on ALL Flesh (The WHOLE GROUND seen after the Seventh Day) Watered it.
In Genesis In the Begining, (run to and fro here to the Cross and see the comparison). The Earth, it BECAME desolate with darkness (the same seen at the cross) was over the surface of the deep. Why? Jesus was Crucified The Light of the World was not present(until early before dawn the first day they came to the tomb). The darkness at the Cross is what Genesis is speaking of. Christ had yeilded UP His Spirit/MIST (Seventh Day) and the Spirit of God moved OVER the WATERS (people). Look at Revelation which interprets these waters. "The waters that you saw are peoples multitudes tribes and nations".
God said, "Let there be Light" and thats where God "speaks the word and sends Christ (The light of men) into our hearts. God then separates the light (He saw was good) from the darkness and here we have "The day" WE are children of the Day, from the darkness He called Night.
In Short the waters (which Revelation says are PEOPLE) are separated from "above" and "below" an expanse. "Ye are from below" and "born from "above". He calls the "gathered waters" SEAS which in scripture represents "the wicked". As these waters are separated the dry ground appears.
Look at the "stars" THEY also represent people (get a concordance) THEY are for signs and for seasons. Thats why Jesus rebuked the Pharisees because they were the religious leaders then and they could observe "the PHYSICAL WORLD" but they could not understand that these things written down are spiritual words expressing spiritual truths. These are "representatives" and scripture will interpret what they truly are.
Look up the Two Lights, key in who was the "Lesser light" to rule the night, and the "Greater Light" to rule the Day. This is AWESOME because John was considered a light that burned for a time and was referenced as one born of women but the he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater then He. This is PAUL who was least of all the diciples a LIGHT to the GENTILES. These are the two GREAT LIGHTS right here in Genesis, its not talking about physical moon or Sun they are spiritual truths. The Moon turned to blood. John was beheaded. He prepared the way before the Lord. No need for the light of the moon or the sun when Christ is the Lamp and God is the glory within.
This stuff is amazing!
You can change the days, by this I mean you can start on the First and See Christ as the Light (not yet in the hearts of men) but ONE person. and in a second form repeat the week and He's renewing the earth and the Light is in our hearts! This takes a bit to absorb here but if you think on it and try to see that God hid Christ in his foreknowledge and if we know the scriptures and the power of God (The Cross of Christ) they will always testify to Him. ALL things are summed up in Jesus Christ.
Can you tell I'm a bit over the edge excited? I find more joy in finding places where Christ is in scripture! Gods a GREAT CONCEALER!!!
