Genesis 1

1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Commentary · verse 1

The phrase "In the beginning" did not mean "the first moment of time." It actually meant "shaking" as in the moment that something happened. The "heavens" was where God lives. In this verse "earth" meant "all the physical matter that would ever exist." Basically, this first verse of the Bible could be read as: "When the First Cause made something happen, He created the intangible place where He lived and all the physical matter that would ever exist."

After an in-depth study of both the definitions and etymology of the words used in the first two chapters of Genesis, a much deeper meaning behind these verses is revealed. This first verse of the Bible actually alluded to God's eternal plan in the etymology. Here was this first verse according to etymology: "At the time of the First Cause, the intangible place where God places his banner and the marriage bed were created by consent and the agreement of the Trinity on an original thought." Creation only occurs with agreement...by two or more people exchanging value. The devil cannot create because he cannot come into agreement with anyone, he only destroys. If it was only God the Father, none of this would have been created. The Trinity's purpose was to create a Bride for Jesus. This would allow each of the Trinity to interact with each other through the Bride in a manner that would be profitable for eternity.

2And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

2And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Commentary · verse 2

Here is the translation of this verse according to the definitions and etymology of the words that were used:

  • The phrase "And the earth was waste and void" meant "All the physical matter that would make up all of life was from its beginning without purpose and without anything good or bad in it."
  • The phrase "...and darkness was upon the face of the deep" meant "a complete lack of understanding covered the shell of this chaotic egg that consisted of water."
  • The phrase "...and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters" meant "the breath of the most powerful Right and Just sat brooded like a bird upon the inside of this egg."

Basically, God created a mass of water that resembled an egg, while the Holy Spirit brooded like a bird over this egg. The physical matter was not good or bad, it was just physical matter. The Holy Spirit was the seed that "fertilized this egg." Notice, the New Testament began with the Holy Spirit fertilizing the egg inside Mary. Her egg was not good or bad, it was just physical matter. People who think the egg was good end up worshipping the earth...and worshipping Mary.

3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Commentary · verse 3

God spoke things into existence. God is intangible, otherwise, a person could ask, "Where did the matter that made up God first come from?" God also created the tangible through the intangible: words. Words are vibrations, which themselves are not tangible. Every other "creation story" began with tangible matter, which was not possible. "Light" came from Hebrew word or which meant "energy." Everywhere the word "light" was used in the Bible, you can substitute the word "energy." Recently, science has determined that all the elements can be created with water, high energy, and heat. So far, we've seen the earth was all water. The Holy Spirit's brooding supplied heat. God creating light/energy allowed elements and physical uniqueness to be possible.

4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

Commentary · verse 4

"Good" was right and just and resulted in something that "creates." Everywhere the word "good" was used in the Bible, you can substitute the word "creates." Notice, it takes energy (light) to create.

5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Commentary · verse 5

At this point, the energy that was prevalent everywhere was consolidated away from areas that did not have this energy. The word "day" in Hebrew was a 24-hour period. The fifth verse in the last chapter of the Bible (Revelation 22:5) brings an end to day and night. Notice, there was evening first, then morning which was where the Jews got their belief that a day began at sunset. The formula for Day One was God created by stating "Let...", saw it was good, and called the created thing by name.

6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

Commentary · verses 6-7

This is known as "The Canopy Theory." The earth was surrounded by a layer of water (like a canopy) that could block out damaging ultraviolet radiation as well as serve as the source of water for the Flood. Whether this canopy completely covered the earth or was a "ring" (like Saturn possesses) is up for debate. Some people believe the earth being completely surrounded by water would be the same as an oven and lead to ultra-high temperatures. Blocking out damaging radiation would mean that people and animals would be able to live hundreds of years, as long as this canopy of water was in place. Also, the days of creation mirrored the creation of individuals. The first day the egg was fertilized. The next phase is cell division. The fertilized egg divides while it travels down the fallopian tube.

8And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.

8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

Commentary · verse 8

In this verse, "Heaven" is the atmosphere of the earth, also known as the first heavens. Notice, God did not call the results of the second day "good." Dividing the waters, in and of itself, did not result in creating. If anything, the canopy will eventually be used to destroy the earth. Notice, God created something (firmament) with "Let...", did not call it good, and called the created thing by name. Although dividing the waters did not create something new, God called the firmament (the created thing) that was separated from the waters "Heaven."

9And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

9And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

Commentary · verses 9-10

The third stage in the creation of a person is internal cell division. The cell divides five times until there are 32 cells and is called a morula (Latin for mulberry). The cells on the inside compact and secrete a viscous layer, which was verse 9. Then a central cavity is formed where there is a hollow ball of cells, which was verse 10.

11And God said, Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth: and it was so.

12And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: and God saw that it was good.

11And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Commentary · verses 11-12

On the third day, God created trees bearing fruit, which can be seen as an allusion to Christ's crucifixion...the ultimate tree (cross) bearing fruit. Notice, three days from this reference was when humans were created.

13And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.

13And the evening and the morning were the third day.

Commentary · verse 13

God called the dry land and seas "good." God called the vegetation "good." All of this creates. In fact, in one day, the trees produced their fruit. This third day had two creations...two "Let..." God stated they were both good. However, God called the first created thing by name and did not call the second created thing by name.

14And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years: 15and let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

14And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

Commentary · verses 14-15

In this verse, "heaven" referred to what we call "outer space" which was also known as the "second heaven." This made "heaven" where God lives the "third heaven." Notice, it took three days to get the earth (as we know it) finished, so this day placed the earth in a specific spot in a greater space. Each day resulted in a more complicated creation. The next stage of the creation of a human is the implanting of the fertilized egg in the uterus. The egg (earth) is fixed in its place relative to its surroundings.

16And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

Commentary · verse 16

The energy was now divided even further. Some was put into the sun and stars. Notice, the sun was created after the plants. If there were thousands of years between these "days," how would the plants survive?

17And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth, 18and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Commentary · verses 17-19

God called the greater and lesser lights "good." God created with "Let...", stated the creations were good, but did not call the created things by name. So far, each day has been different relative to these three measures.

20And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that moveth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind: and God saw that it was good.

22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.

20And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

Commentary · verses 20-22

The next stage in the creation of a human is the fertilized egg eats its way into the uterus. This is an invasion into the mother's blood cells and diverts blood to the fertilized egg. These cells are the first differentiated cells from the fertilized egg and they are on the outer layer.

23And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Commentary · verse 23

God created with "Let...", stated the creatures were good. However, if He called them by name this day would have followed the same process as Day One. If He did not call it by name it would have followed the same process as Day Four. Instead of calling or not calling, God blessed them. He told them to be "fruitful" which meant profitable and required the ability to create.

24And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind: and it was so.

25And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the ground after its kind: and God saw that it was good.

26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Commentary · verses 24-26

God used the words "Us" and "Our," which referred to the Trinity. The Trinity stated that humans should have dominion, they should be a first cause. The final stage before the birth of the human is the continued differentiation and specialization of cells. Notice, each day resulted in a more complicated creation. James 3:9 referenced the previous verse.

Commentary · verse 26

1st Dispensation – Eden

27And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Commentary · verse 27

Notice, the word "man" was not a male only reference. The English word "man" came from the Sanskrit word manu meaning "to think." This applied to males and females. God and humans have the ability to consciously think as well as unconsciously think. Animals only have the ability to unconsciously think. Humans have a Mind/Soul which is separate from the conscious brain and unconscious brain. This Mind/Soul is who the human IS and is a first cause.

28And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Commentary · verse 28

God blessed them. God's first command to Adam was to be profitable, to create. God told humans to have dominion, to be the first cause.

29And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food: 30and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so.

31And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

29And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Commentary · verses 29-31

When God looked at everything as a whole that He had made, He declared it "very good." The root meaning was "good to the highest degree." Even though the only day that was not declared "good" was the second day, it still filled a role in the whole of creation that caused the whole of creation to be able to create to the highest degree. God could not have made a better creation than He did. Notice, there were two creations on this sixth day with both being created by "Let...". God stated both creations were good. The first creation of this day God did not call by name which made it similar to Day Four. The second creation of this day God blessed which made it similar to Day Five. However, Day Six was a combination of the process used on Day Four and Day Five.

God used a different process each day of creation.
