I believe that the whole Bible can be written just from Genesis alone. Just today, God clunked into my spirit the gospel of Jesus Christ revealed inside the Genesis 1 opening before man was even created.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Genesis 1:9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Seas = The Nations of the World (Gentiles)
Land/Ground/Sand = Israel
Before Israel, there were nations of the world, and there was no Israel. Then God separated the water out, and kept the land, which is the nation of Israel.
The Seas = Revelation 17:15 - Then the angel said to me, "The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.
The Sand = Concerning Jacob: Genesis 32:12 - But you have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.’”
Jacob became named Israel in chapter 32, and his 12 children are the nation of Israel. Abraham had 2 promises from God, the stars of the sky, and then also, the sand of the sea. Jacob had only the sand of the sea spoken to him.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Genesis 1:14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
As Abraham was first told in Genesis 15,
Genesis 15:5 - He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”
In the Genesis 15 covenant, only stars are mentioned and promised. Sand was not mentioned to Abraham until he had his son under bondage (Ishmael), in Genesis 16. After the son of the law is born, God expands the promise to Abraham to include Israel:
Genesis 22:17 - I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies,
Why is Ishmael the son of the law?
Galatians 4 - For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
Also, the Sun represents the Father God and the moon represents Jerusalem:
Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. "Listen," he said, "I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me." - Genesis 37:9
Now Jacob correctly interpreted the dream, stating that he was the Sun, and since he was Joseph's father, the Sun symbolically represents the Father. (Could be how Christ knew God was his Father???)
Galatians 4:26 - But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
There are then two mothers, the mother below, and the mother above, but either way, a mother is represented by the moon in Genesis 37:9.
We see then that the stars of heaven come after there is a Sun (Father) and a Moon (Jerusalem).
------------------------------------------------------------
Genesis 1
Light vs. Dark - 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he 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—the first day.
Water Above vs. Water Below - 6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
Water Below vs. Land Below - 9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
----------------------
Light is symbolic of truth. Psalm 43:3
Dark is symbolic of ignorance.
Separation of light and dark symbolizes the separation between truth and ignorance.
-----------------------
Water Above is the Heaven.
Water Below are the Seas.
Water symbolizes life.
Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. – John 7:38
This part of the passage denotes there are 2 types of life. Life above in heaven, and life below on Earth. Spiritual life with God, and life that is apart from God.
------------------------
Water Below vs. Land Below
As stated before, this is a type of the nations vs. Israel.
Israel is land because it has separated itself apart from living like the world (wordily life). It does not live like the world but it is dry and dead.
-------------------------
What this shares is the following…
- There is truth from God (light from above)
- There is life from God (water from above)
- We might also suppose there is a way for the land to have truth and life from God above
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” – John 14:6 (Did Jesus learn this statement out of Genesis 1???)
------------------------
Genesis 1
The Seed - 11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
And as men know, a seed is sewn in the ground, it receives Water from Above, which flow through streams and rivers, and then also, the seeds receive Light from above.
The seed, having been supplied truth (light) and life (water), is the way land bears life. And this life produces more seeds.
Now, when a seed is sown that has the Truth of God, and the Life of God, this seed is special because it does not produce ordinary crops. “bearing seed according to their kinds” it says in Genesis 1:11.
Therefore, the kind of seed which fruits with the Life of God and the Truth of God, bears a different kind of fruit! If you look back at Light vs. Dark and Water Above vs. Water Below… you will see that if you chose light and water above as options, you would be looking in the heavens for such a thing. These would be stars.
The stars live in the realm where there is the light of God, and the life of God above. The stars are not part of the water below, nor the land below.
So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; - 1 Corinthians 15:42
Now a seed which is sown dies.
Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. – John 12:24
And so Christ’s death and the resurrection harvest it would produce can be seen in Genesis 1.
