    Genesis - Day One

    In the Beginning

    In the beginning the Mighty One created. Gen 1:1a

    ar,B, myhila/ tyviareaB.

    Remembering the Hebrew reads from right to left we get Bareshith elohiym bara

    Which is translated in the KJV In the Beginning the Mighty One created.

    Language is a wonderful tool, a tool that all civilisations are based on. It is thekey to communication, to communicate ideas, insights, wisdom, truths, and knowledge.This is especially true of the Hebrew language that was, I believe, instituted By GodHimself to convey His truths to mankind. Now, at this point we must remember that Hewants His truths known to all; there is no secret knowledge, no mystical teachings whichwe need priests to dispense. No secret handshakes, no levels of initiated knowledge as in

    all the worlds nefarious political and religious systems, which includes Socialist SecularHumanism, with its replacement morality of political correctness, Atheism, Catholicism,Protestantism, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc, etc. No Gods truth is there for

    all to discover without going through some pumped up religious clown. All we have todo is spend the time and effort to discover it. Yes it takes work, it will take time, we haveto go back to the original language because language has one problem, and that is

    translating ideas, concepts, knowledge, names, etc. into other languages. You alwaysloose something in translation, a meaning, a slight deviation from the original can

    become like a Chinese whisper, when translated and revised umpteen times you can loose90% of the original meaning and hence 90% depth and beauty of the original. This isexactly what happened with Scripture, the word of God. The Word of God in its originalform is beautiful and without error but sadly to say every translation today, althoughthere is some beauty in them they are not without error, and the full beauty, meaningmust be dug for. One other thing we have to watch out for is the deliberate changing of

    the Word of God, the copy edits, the dishonest interpretations. For example, Godsname, Yahuah, pronounced Yah-oo-ah, was taken out of the original text nearly seventhousand times by the religious Jews within the Babylonian captivity and they made it

    illegal, even punishable by death to say it. This is such a travesty, God put His name inHis Word 7000 times so that we would know it!!!! I mean, how can you have a lovingfamilial relationship with someone if you dont even know his or her name? Fatherwants us to know His name, which means Self-existent and eternal and is in the perfect

    and imperfect tense at the same time, that is past, present and future all wrapped into one!Also it is a lie when the Jewish Pharisees of today tell us it is impossible to pronounce

    Gods name because it is made up only consonants, for a start they are what is called inPaleo-Hebrew vowel-consonants and as such do not need vowel markers, also if they

  • 7/28/2019 01_Genesis 1-5 - Creation - Day One

    2/27

    31

    can pronounce Torah, which they get from their own Scriptures, which should bepronounced tor-oo-yah then they can pronounce Yah-oo-ah or Yahuweh. No, He wants

    us to know His name just like He know ours, He wants us to know it so we can have that

    loving inter-personal relationship He so desires with us.

    Everything is in a name, especially in Scriptural names, like Yahushua, it means

    Yah saves, so our saviours name is Yahweh who saves us, His name gives us Hischaracter and His purpose. Also His title is Messiyah and not Christ. Messiyah means

    anointed implement of Yahweh whereas christ actually comes from the Greekchiomeans drugged whitewashed, anointed but not in a godly sense, in a medical or

    drug abuse sense, it can also mean poisoned. Incredible!!!!! An indeed He did save usby paying the penalty for our sin and enabling us to stand upright with Him. And thatthere essentially sums up the message of Scripture and the reason for existence, to standwith God, to have a relationship with Him, to be loved by Him and to love Him. But to

    understand these truths we have to dive through the shallow surface to get to the rootsand depths, to the meanings that rarely see the light of day so that the light of our Fatherthrough the Word, Yahushua The Messiah, can shine all the more brightly in our hearts.I pray that this is the purpose of these writings, to glorify our Father in Heaven and uplift,

    build and root His called out Assembly, the Ecclesia.

    Our Father chose to communicate with us through the Hebrew language, alanguage He initiated, which is rich in depth & multi-layered. Every Hebrew word stemsfrom a root word, normally a root of three letters, and to gain a fuller understanding ofthe specific word you have to go back to that root and look at the meaning of every wordthat comes from the root. Then you start getting the fuller implications of the meaning

    and the layers of meaning. Then, yes we are not finished, every Hebrew letter has ameaning all of its own, and it is best to understand these meanings because they also havean impact on the overall meaning, one last thing, the order in which the letters appear alsoadd an added level of meaning. So it isnt just a case of one word translating intoanother, it is one Hebrew word translating into a sea of words from another language,

    each at differing levels and dimensions of thought and meaning.

    This language is rather like an ice burg with 90% hidden under the water and ifyou only give a cursory reading of the text you will only see that which is above the

    water and miss the riches below. But this coin has a flip side, if you do not see what isbelow the surface then you can be scuppered, your ship of life can be holed, can be lost,

    your life can slip below the waters of despair, especially in these trying times, these daysand years of tribulation, that are to come upon us. So I implore all of you who might read

    these often clumsy words to search out these things for yourselves, take the time to checkall I say against the Set-Apart Scriptures, wrongly called the Old Testament, look for the

    depth yourselves. Search them out and understand them as best you are able. Ask Fatherthrough His Anointed, Yahushua Messiah, and pray our Spiritual Mother, the Set-ApartSpirit to fill your understanding so that in the dark days to come you will be spiritually

    prepared to stand when all around is falling.

    Bareshith elohiym bara

    There are some fundamental questions here the first being the most obvious in

    the beginning of what? What is this Mighty One? & He created what from what? Andwhy would He create anything, what is His purpose? To answer these questions as fullyas possible we must have a good sense and understanding of what the actual Hebrew

    words mean and as full as possible the depth of their meaning. Although we will neverget a complete understanding of our Creator the Mighty One, His purpose, His mind, will

    and heart, nor will we get a full understanding of the reason for our existence from thesefirst three words of His Scriptures, but we will, at the very least, get a foundation, the first

    building blocks laid in our understanding. For these words not only speak of thebeginning they also speak of relationship, redemption, salvation, they speak of, even ifonly hinted at, space-time, relativity, energy, matter & their relationship, albeit in aninferred way. So lets look at these words individually and see what we can learn.

    Bareshith. This is a compound word made up of Ba & Reshith. Ba is thesecond letter of the Hebrew alphabet and means in, with, among, near, and in this casemeans inbefore the noun Reshith. But on further thought it could also mean within,as in within the beginning. If it is, within the beginning, then what is a beginning orthe beginning that something can be within it? Is the beginningsomething tangible, is itsomething, I would say physical but nothing physical has been made yet, so could thebeginningactually be the Mighty One? So is it, Within the Mighty One the Mighty Onecreated? This is an interesting line of thought indeed and should be built upon in duetime because the secondary meaning of the Hebrew word forbeginningis firstfruits,which could also imply, within the firstfruits the Mighty One created. See very

    interesting indeed.

    Note: Bringing in a point of interest here the very word Alphabet is in essence aHebrew word, it is made up of the first two letters of the Hebrew alphabet,aleph & beth. If you bring these two together you get the foundation of

    our word alphabet. Also the Hebrew alphabet was the very first alphabetdevised, yes indeed there were many other languages and writings like the

    Egyptian Hieroglyphs, but there was no established alphabet until theHebrew.

    Reshith

    This brings us to Reshith. This word has been translated beginning and rightly

    so, but, this translation does not even start to cover the depth and breadth of its meaning.But, let us start by asking the question, in the beginning of what? Is it the beginning of

    the creation of the universe? No, I do not believe so because in the beginning of creation,at the start of the universe there was something, right after the big bang in the beginningthere was something, and that something was energy, all the energy needed for theuniverse as we know it today. No, this beginning must be before that point, before theBig Bang, before there was any energy in existence, before time and space existed.This beginning must represent the domain of the self-existent, eternal Mighty One,

  • 7/28/2019 01_Genesis 1-5 - Creation - Day One

    4/27

    33

    Yahuah. In the beginning, in that place where the Mighty One exists before time &matter came into existence.

    Also this leads me to another thought, as the Mighty One is outside the universeHe created, which must be a different dimension of existence, then He could not enterthis material universe without destroying it for He must be greater than that which He

    created, also His energy, his being, must be far greater, maybe even infinitely greater thanthis universe could contain, and that sudden infusion of infinite energy would destroy this

    universe in an instant. That is why He set aside apart of Himself, well two parts ofHimself in actuality, in the form of the Set-Apart Spirit, our Spiritual Mother, the

    feminine part of His full nature, and the Set-Apart Son, Yahushua Messiyah. Only thesediminished forms of the Mighty One, I mean diminished in the sense of a lesser energylevel, albeit they are still the Mighty One but in a powered down form, could enter ourmaterial realm. Which of course they did and do in the form of Yahushua walking with

    Adam in the Garden, walking and eating with Abraham, as the one giving Torah toMoshe, as the Messiyah standing up for us on Golgotha enabling us to stand with Him,and in the form as the Set-Apart Spirit that indwells and covers all of Yahs children

    There are other Hebrew words to describes the beginning of creation, the timewhen energy came into existence with a loud noise when energy started converting intomatter according to Einsteins equation E=mc2, (well not actually Einsteins it is Godsequation. Einstein just discovered it), when expansion caused enough cooling of the newuniverse to enable quark confinement, without which no matter could exist. Yes the

    beginning of space-time would be denoted with risher& reshow, pronounced ro-shaw& roo-shone respectively, which have the very same Hebrew letters but differing context.

    No, Reshith represents that set-apart place from which God actually brought the universeinto existence by His very Word Yahushua The Messiyah.

    The secondary and significant meaning of Reshith is first fruits as found in Lev23:-11. Here the first fruits of the harvest are set-apart unto Father, Yahuah via the

    temple priests. These temple priests were to wave the sheaf, the first fruit of the harvest,before Yahweh so they will become accepted. Now this is very interesting because this

    very first word of the Scriptures points not only to the Mighty Ones domain but also tothe very plan of salvation. How? First fruits is also a set-apart feast, one of seven called

    out assemblies, it is in fact the third feast of the year, Miquraey, which all Godschildren are called to celebrate for all time. These are NOT Jewish feasts and festivals,

    no indeed, they are feasts and festivals for the Yahudim, those who follow or those whopraise Yahuah, that means you and me, Jew and Gentile who love and walk with Yahuah.

    These seven feasts are as follows;

    Passover - this is a celebration of the time when the consequences of sin, which is deathand leads to the dissipation of the soul or eternity in hell, (yes there are three destinationsfor mankind), are dealt with. This was foreshadowed in Egypt when the messenger ofdeath passed over the Jewish houses that had the blood smeared on the upright post andlintel, but had its actual fulfilment in the Messiah when He hung on that upright post on

  • 7/28/2019 01_Genesis 1-5 - Creation - Day One

    5/27

    34

    which His blood was smeared in order to enable us to stand upright with Him. But it alsopoints to a future exodus of Yahuahs people from the four corners of the earth in the

    latter days, called the greater exodus.

    Unleavened Bread - which occurs the very next day after Passover and where the penaltyof sin is dealt with, which is separation from God, and sin is removed from our souls as

    far as God is concerned. The actual feast remembers the children of Yah coming outfrom the land of Mitsrayim, it took seven days for them to leave the borders of the land of

    slavery.

    First Fruits - As the sheaf were waved before Yahuah so our Messiyah was also wavedbefore Yahuah as a sin offering and was found to be acceptable, and so on the third dayHe was raised from the dead as proof of his acceptance before the Mighty One ourredeemer. Yahushua was the first fruit of the harvest of souls that is to be raised,

    eternally, from the dead enabling us to also stand righteous and redeemed before Yahuahour Mighty One.

    Feast of sevens - This is so called because it takes place seven Sabbaths plus one dayafter First fruits, or fifty days and was the time when Torah was given to Moshe. Thisalso pointed to the coming day of Pentecost, the time when the disciples were filled &clothed with the set-apart Spirit. The time when they were to be clothed in Her glory, Isay her because She is our Spiritual Mother, more on this aspect in a later section. Whenwe become part of Yahuahs family, when we love the Mighty One above all things,when we come to that place of standing with God, after we have walked through theDoorway of Salvation, Yahushua Messiyah, we become immersed in our Spiritual

    Mother, the Set-Apart Spirit, and clothed in Her garment of light, so when Father Godlooks upon us he sees not our sin stained flesh, no indeed, He sees a wonderful garmentof light which shows we belong to Him and are a part of His family. I also believe it wasthese garments which Adam and Chavah were covered with before they sinned and it wasthat very act of sinning which left them naked for, the Spirit, She took Her Garments

    away and left them naked.

    Trumpets - or Taruah in the Hebrew and means to shout for joy or to shout awarning. This is a feast yet to be fulfilled and predicts the coming harvest which the

    Christian church calls the rapture; mind you it will be nothing like they envision; it is atime to call people out of the world and, with a great shout of joy, unto Yahuah. But it is

    also a time of great warning, a time to blow the trumpet sound from the city walls, towake the inhabitants, to warn them of the coming storm, the coming judgements, for

    death rides swift and sure on his steed. And this is a warning we must sound and thosewho do not heed the warning will have their souls dissipated. It is especially the time to

    convey Yahuahs plan of salvation to all who would hear it.

    The day of Atonement - Kippurym - Reconciliations. This is predictive of ourMessiyahs return in glory and judgment. The time when the conquering king Yahushuawill return to judge all those who did not heed the warnings given out so many times byso many people. It is a time to answer and respond to the call, to the Messiyah and for

  • 7/28/2019 01_Genesis 1-5 - Creation - Day One

    6/27

    35

    those who do not answer and respond it will be a time of separation. It is the time whenthe chafe will be separated out from the wheat and go to their destination while the wheat

    will spend one thousand years on earth with Messiyah which leads to the very last feast.

    Tabernacles - This is the time when we will live with Yahushua ruling us as king ofkings, but also as our friend, our Brother, our Saviour. This also leads to the eight day of

    creation, the new beginnings, the new heaven and earth, the new universe, one in whichwe will witness being created.

    Yes, first fruits sets the tone of all of Scripture; it also starts to answer why?

    Why are we here? We are to become as the first fruit, reconciled unto the Mighty One, tohave a loving familial relationship with our creator.

    Another thought. As the very first word of the Mighty Ones Scripture points to a

    place before He created Space-Time, His domain, it must also point to His Power, HisMajesty, His eternality, His infinity. Think about it, if there is no time and yet He is stillthere, which He must be or nothing would have been created and this writing would notexist, then He must exist apart from time & space. You cant even say He exists beyondor outside of time as time has a beginning and God does not. Therefore, He must beeternal, and if eternal He must also be infinite in power and majesty. And if He is infinitein power and majesty, if He is eternal He must, therefore, be self-existent which is Hisvery name, Yahuah. This is also why the name of God is of paramount importance forHe is the beginning, the start, which is our start, our beginning, and if we do not knowwho created us then we will never know where we came from, how we came to be andwhy. But knowing our creator on a personal first name basis and in a relational sense

    then we will also know the how and why of existence.

    Another quick thought about infinity; by the very meaning of the word infinitycannot have an end nor a beginning and as such it must be forever expanding andgrowing, for if it has an and or a beginning then the ending or the beginning could,

    theoretically, be measured and therefore it would cease being infinite because you cannotmeasure infinity.

    So to recap, the first word of the Scriptures conveys a few important foundational

    concepts the first being our space-time construct has a beginning. Which was onlydiscovered about 50 years ago, before that people like even Einstein thought the universe

    was stable, never ending, in other words self-existent, strange that, the Mighty Onesword being right and mankind wrong for so many hundreds of years, who would have

    guessed. Secondly, as there was a beginning there must be a before and that before mustbe something so special that we could never comprehend it in this mortal form. That

    before must be the Mighty One and as He is without time He must be eternal and self-existent. So this word Reshith also points to Yahuwehs name, His power and majesty.Thirdly, it also points to the plan of redemption within first fruits. As such it points to thereason why we exist, to have a relationship with our creator, a loving familialrelationship.

    Elohiym

    This brings us to the second word of Scripture, elohiym. Elohiym is the plural of

    El which is errantly translated as God. Although most do so this is not the meaning of el,it actually means Mighty One, mighty in rank, or Divine one. It also denotes strength and

    power as in Judges and Magistrates. The two letters which make up this Hebrew word,

    el, is made up from the aleph and the lamed. The aleph in the Paleo-Hebrew is depictedas the oxen head and denotes power, strength, or might; and the lamedis depicted as the

    shepherds crook which denoted authority, as in the authority of the shepherd, it alsorepresents protection, and chastisement, the shepherds crook is used for defending the

    sheep and also chastising them when they walk the wrong path. So putting this alltogether the Hebrew word elcan also mean, the Mighty Shepherd and Protector wholeads and guides His flock. That is a perfect picture of our Messiyah Yahushua. Notethis can also be used of mighty people, kings, princes, or even heroes.

    This can also be a verb directing motion or a direction towards something. It also needsto be pointed out that this is not a name, or the Mighty Ones name; it is a title denotingDivine authority and power when used in this context.

    I find it very telling for the Mighty One to choose this word as a title because itgoes another step in defining who He is and what He does. First of all choosing the

    plural of el speaks of His plural nature, I am not saying in any way that He is more thanone, no, but the One Mighty One must be plural in nature. If the Mighty One createdmen and women in His image then He must have feminine attributes to His nature alongwith male attributes otherwise women could not have been created in His image, but

    clearly they were. So on this basis I think this plurality is speaking of Himself, the Set-Apart Spirit, who is always spoken of in Scripture as being feminine in nature, and HisSon, Yahushua the Messiyah who are both set-apart from the Father. The Set-ApartSpirit and the Son was with the Mighty Father from within eternity, before creation,

    because the universe was created by the Father through the Word which was made flesh,

    the Son. This plurality speaks of the familial relationship which is the norm forhumanity, and which He is the role model for. It also speaks of the type of relationship

    he wants with us which is the very reason He created us in the first place. Isnt this aMighty One we should all want to know?

    This word also points to His being mighty in strength and power not only to

    create the universe but also mighty to save us, and for those who are not saved, notbecause of any deficiency in Yahuah but due to their own choices, He is mighty to judge.

    It also denotes His turning towards us in order that we willingly choose to turn towardsHim. And we as fallen creatures need to turn to Him, to change our ways, to change the

    way we think and perceive, to change our attitudes. To knock on the Doorway of oursalvation, to follow that narrow path this is Yahushua Messiyah. To seek the beauty andtruths from His Words leaving no stone unturned and no hiding place left unearthed untilwe have discovered what we are looking for, the knowledge of the Mighty One, to knowour creator, Yahuah, on a personal familial level which is the very reason for ourexistence.

    Bara

    Scriptures third word, bara, means to create, the process of starting somethingnew that has not been in existence before, it can also means to shape and to fashion, it canspeak of righteousness and salvation, to make fat. Indeed, God did initiate a process, the

    process of creation, something that has never been in existence before. He also initiatedthe process of salvation and this word is used many times in YashaYahu, (Isaiah),

    pointing to the coming of Messiyah who is the very path of salvation.

    Also the Word of Yahuah, the Torah, Prophets and Psalms can indeed make usfat, spiritually speaking that is, fat in the knowledge of the Mighty One and His salvation.Lets face it, if the Messiyah was the Word made flesh, which He was, then we must askourselves what was that Word? Of course that Word must be the Torah, Prophets and

    Psalms, especially the Torah, for there was no other word to be made flesh. And so if wetruly want to know our Messiyah in a relational, familial sense we must learn about theword, which is the Torah, Prophets and Psalms. We must come to understand the word,to love the Word, to search the Word in order for the Word to be written on our veryhearts. But the converse is also true, is we do not feed on the Word of God then we willloose spiritual weight, we will get skinny, we will loose the spiritual vitamins thatengenders healthy growth, this will lead to spiritual anorexia, which, if not treated leadsto spiritual death, the dissipation of the soul into nothingness. And sad to say most ofhumanity are spiritually anorexic and on the wide road that leads to death anddestruction.

    A note here, the word Torah does not mean Law, although it can mean that in aloose sense, it actually means instructions as in a manual, yes there are laws in them butthat is but a small part of the Torah, most of the Torah is made up of instructions forliving a life with God, they are guidelines. Didnt our mortal parents give us guidelinesas children? I wouldnt touch that it is hot and will cause you pain etc. And so our

    heavenly Father who loves and cares for us as His own children gives us guidelines. Yeswe might ignore our Fathers guidelines from time to time, well most of the time if I was

    honest with myself, as I did with my mortal fathers, but we will not loose our salvation,if we are part of His Family that is, and if we are not apart of His family then quite

    frankly it does not matter if we adhere to them or not for they are not for those outside theFamily, except of course to learn about the Messiyah in order to become a member of

    Yahuahs family. That is the duel purpose of the Torah, Prophets and Psalms, firstly toguide people to salvation and secondly to guide people in their walk once they accept

    their free salvation. On reflection there is another purpose for the Torah, that is toconvict people of sin, it is the yard stick by which all will be measured.

    :Crah txw Myymvh ta

    the heavens and the earth. Gen. 1:1b

  • 7/28/2019 01_Genesis 1-5 - Creation - Day One

    9/27

    38

    Here in the second half of Genesis one we have what was physically created albeit

    not in its finished form but rather in its primordial form before even the first star came

    into being, when only three things existed, energy, hydrogen and helium, but we will getmore into this when we cover the second verse. In the meantime lets get back to theHebrew.

    The fourth and sixth words, et, the Hebrew aleph & thav, which happens to be

    the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet. This word can mean with, among,through, accordingly, and, also. It is also linked to owth and can convey the idea of a

    sign, a beacon, an omen, a miracle. Now here is a thought, what greater miracle can therebe other than our Messiyah, Yahushua, taking up the form of man, coming into His owncreation, to live to the full the Torah to redeem a people unto Himself? This Yahushuawho also called Himself the first and the last, I do not think it a coincidence that these

    words, et & owth, are made up with the first and the last letters of the alphabet, I meanour Messiyah is also the Word or even the et, made flesh. Isnt He also the beacon of oursalvation? The light on the narrow path which leads to the doorway through which wemust walk to be with Father? Yes there are many wonders in every word of the MightyOnes language.

    The fifth word of this verse is pronounced hashamayim, with the ha meaningthe and the shamayim, being plural, means heavens. The root of this word means loftyand elevated and as such denotes the spiritual realm. Also, when put together with earth,the heavens and the earth, you get a idea of the whole universe, everything the MightyOne ever created, including the spiritual realm which of course would include the abyss,

    the final resting place of the fallen messengers and all those who willingly join with themeither by leading people astray with false religion and or teaching.

    The final word in this verse is ha'eretz, again ha is the definite article, the, &eretz translates earth, but its primary meaning is land, region, realm, so in this case it

    could mean the material universe. We have to remember that the earth and our very solarsystem would not be formed for about eight to ten billion years after the big bang so the

    words here cannot denote our physical earth or even the universe as we know it becausethe very next verse tells us so when it says, the earth was void and without form, or the

    material realm was void and without form. We must also remember that when thesetranslations were done nothing was known about sub-atomic particles, up and down

    quarks, protons, neutrons, electrons, and especially nothing about the quantum world. Sotheir understanding was limited to their knowledge base hence they translated this the

    heavens and the earth which is accurate in itself especially as they divided the tworealms as the spiritual, the domain of the Mighty One to which they hoped to achieve and

    the realm of men, the earth. But with the wonders of the scientific knowledge, which wehave access to today, we can have a far deeper understanding. This aspect also shows thewonder of Gods Word, how it spans time itself, how it is for all people across allgenerations.

    So let us look at Genesis 1:1 from a different perspective:

  • 7/28/2019 01_Genesis 1-5 - Creation - Day One

    10/27

    39

    In the beginning, (before space-time existed), the Mighty One, (the Father along with

    the Set-apart Spirit, our Spiritual Mother, and the Word made flesh, Yahushua

    Messiyah), created the spiritual and the material realms.

    Haeretz hayah tohu bohu choshek al panee tehowm veruach elohiym merachaph alpanee hamayim

    and the earth was without form and void: & darkness was on the face of the deep. Andthe Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1:2 KJV.

    Here we have some incredible insights and digging deep to find them will revealthat the Word of God is closer to todays scientific discoveries than any would have

    believed. So lets get straight to the Hebrew and discover these wonders.

    The first word is haeretz which as we discovered in the last verse means land,

    region, realm, earth, matter, or the primordial substance just after the universe wasformed and was maybe the size of a pinhead. So this is the time we are talking of, justafter the big bang, of which Scripture points to and I will show. It was a time before thestars started forming, a time of chaotic energy, matter and anti-matter colliding and

    wiping each other out of existence, a time of total darkness as no stars were yet formed.

    The second word hayah means existence, existed or exists, be, or to be, andforms the basis of Yahuahs name, (self existent and eternal).

    The third word is tohu and can mean formlessness, unreality, emptiness,primeval chaos, the fourth word is bohu which means vacuity, absolute emptiness, avoid. This brings us to the fifth word choshek which means to be dark, darkness,

    misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness, and obscurity.

    The sixth word is alwhich can mean the top, highest, most high, upon, alongwith, together with. The seventh is panee, which means the face, the presence. The

    eighth word, and the place where I will temporarily split this verse, is tehowm, whichmeans ,the deep, abyss, even the mysterious depth.

    Lets start with the last word here tehowm this word comes from a root word

    huwm, myh,, which denotes a great roar, an uproar or a loud noise. Now where have Iheard this before? Oh yes, loud noise, big bang? I think Yahuah got there first, well whowould have guessed. You see the word of the Mighty One, in its original form, is never

    wrong, the only time error comes in is with our understanding of it, and it is thisunderstanding that changes with time and not the Word of Yah. For thousands of yearshumanity thought the sun and moon were some kind of gods or mighty ones, for

    11/27

    40

    hundreds of years Catholicism thought the world flat and that the earth was the centre ofthe universe; that the sun revolved around the earth. For many hundreds of years

    scientists thought the universe always existed, that it was somehow eternal. Some

    Protestant Christians still say the universe is only six thousand years old in spite of theevidence to the contrary. The Word of Yahuah never stated these things, as a matter offact, like we see now, it either says directly or indicates the opposite. What has changed

    in all this? Has the Word of Yahuah changed? No, it is mans understanding of theworkings of the universe that has changed, knowledge has increased and our

    understanding has also increased and dramatically at that. In the past when knowledgewas limited, when only the few were allowed an education it was understandable they

    thought the sun orbited the earth, from our perspective it did seem to do so. But now weknow differently. Its a shame knowledge was frowned upon for the masses or we couldhave discovered hundreds of years ago through the Word, and science, of the Big Bang,and so much more for the Word of Yahuah would have shown us where to look in

    science. We would have never lost the connection between science and the truth inYahuah, they are two sides of the same coin, one tells us why, and in a limited degreehow, the other gives us the how of it all. Thats why we need to understand both, theMighty One and Science, because then we get a fuller picture. I am not saying in anyway that we need both for salvation, no indeed, because we do not, we only need aknowledge of the Torah, prophets and Psalms which leads to Yahushua for that, simply

    because that is who Yahushua is, but understanding science as well, I would say aftersalvation, gives us a fuller understanding of our heavenly Father. I still find it amusingthat Yahuah has been saying for three thousand years what science has been saying forfifty.

    Although the scientists have discovered the universe started with what they call aloud noise, they cannot, and could never see beyond the first micro seconds after theevent. Leaving the Mighty One out of the equation they could never understand wherethe energy came from to cause the big bang in the first place. Also how can we see

    beyond the beginning? We couldnt, there is no way we can ever see beyond the big

    bang, its impossible, why? Because we are looking back beyond existence, beyond timeitself, to the place where there is no time, and that is an impossibility, especially when we

    are limited to these three dimensions of existence, well four actually including time, andhow could we, within time, look outside time? And that is the barrier. In a sense as God

    is too vast in His full form to occupy our space-time without destroying it and we are toosmall to even take a peek into His space. Also the Big Bang started as a point, which in

    physics is a dimensionless particle, no height, width, breadth, I know it is impossible toimagine this, I mean to say this is like saying it doesnt exist, with no dimensions how

    can it? So lets view it in relation to an electron which is really, really small, you canteven see it with an electron microscope, now think a billion, billion, billion times smaller,

    now we are seeing the beginning, the point that was the Big Bang. All you can see in theuniverse, and all you cannot see, all the matter, the energy, you and me, were containedwithin that very small point. That is creation, which is Yahuah at work, the entirematerial realm; the spiritual realms along with the inaccessible abyss were contained inthat one point of creation. No wonder we can never see beyond into the Mighty Onesdomain. Also it should be noted that according to MITs 2002Physics Annual: the

  • 7/28/2019 01_Genesis 1-5 - Creation - Day One

    12/27

    41

    theory doesnt explain the big bang but instead its aftermaththat period of time inwhich the universe expanded and cooled. The theory says nothing about the underlying

    physics of the primordial explosion and provides no clues about when the bang occurred,

    what caused it to bang, or what happened before it banged. The explosion theory givesno explanation for the razor-sharp fine-tuning of the universeand thus does notdescribe a universe that resembles the one in which we live. It is not often science is

    truthful. Also, when you think about it the big bang must have occurred outside timeitself because time didnt exist when it banged, time came later with the formation of

    matter, so if the big bang happened outside time then is must have happened withineternity, and if so the cause must be eternal as well.

    Coming back to tehowm, this is the deep, the abyss, and is linked to tohu,bohu and choshek, I believe this is that place where the devil and all those whowillingly follow him are bound. This is that dark vacuity, complete emptiness, where

    light will never exist, where form cannot exist. I believe this is that one-dimensionalconstruct called time where the spirits of satan & his willing followers go at the end oftime as we know it. All those who choose to be filled with the darkness of the adversaryinstead of the light of Yahuah will also spend their eternity with Satan in this void. Andall those who choose light and life will be with the source of light and life in His domain.And for those who choose neither will have their souls dissipated and become as thoughthey never existed, they will not suffer eternally, they will simple cease to be. I will showthese three destinations from the Scriptures at a later stage. And so here in the secondverse of Genesis Yahuah is hinting at the choice we all must make, choose life, death orcessation of existence. Choose a relationship with light and life, align ourselves withdarkness, obscurity, chaos and death, or choose nothing and cease to exist at death, it is

    our choice and it always has been.

    Also, choice must be there or love could not exist. Without the freedom to choosehow can any form of art, creation or love exist? Humanity has created some wondrousworks of art through the ages past and even in the present, paintings, pottery, music,

    dance, architecture, etc, etc. but without a credible freedom of choice none of these couldexist and humanity would be nothing but animals walking the face of the earth. We have

    been given the one thing the messengers of Yahuah were never given, the neshamah, thebreath of the Mighty One, or better put we have been given the character of the Mighty

    One, a conscience, the ability to choose. But one might say didnt satan choose to goagainst Yah and so also has the ability to choose? Yes indeed he did, but there is a big

    difference. The messengers of Yahuah can be likened to His army, and that is exactlywhat they are. Now a soldier gets given an order to go here or there to do this or that and

    he has to go, but that soldier has the ability to disobey that order as does every soldier.That is the only choice they have to obey or disobey. They cannot choose what colour to

    put in what place to enhance that picture, or what note should be where in the music.These messengers cannot love as we do, they do not have the ability. No, all they can dois obey or disobey, and face the consequences of their choice, as a soldier in todaysarmy, if he or she disobeyed orders they would be chucked out the army at the least,imprisoned or even shot. Also that is why satan can only copy what Yahuah has plannedlike the Beast and False Prophet to come are set-apart versions of himself, and where he

  • 7/28/2019 01_Genesis 1-5 - Creation - Day One

    13/27

    42

    will be wounded in the head and die, (to raise again after 3 days?), he will performmiracles etc, etc. There is not an original bone in Satans body. Also the choice for

    human beings must be a credible one, there must be a credible spiritual choice, and that

    choice is to be born from above By Yahuah or from below by Satan. If you chooseneither then you do not become a spiritual being and simply die at the end of yourexistence.

    So the first part of Scriptures second verse can be read as such:

    and the material realm exists as a formless, chaotic void obscured in darkness,

    together with, along with the inaccessible mysterious depths, abyss:

    Here we can see the material realm along with the abyss, the place of separationfrom the Mighty one. When you think about it, it is the only place Yahuah cannot go, it

    would be totally impossible for Him to go there, because if He was to He would becomeseparated from Himself and it would no longer be the abyss.

    The rest of verse two states, veruach elohiym merachaph al panee hamayim.and the Spirit of God hovered, (moved, protecting, nurturing, covering, feeding), overthe face of the waters, (The primordial soup of our new born universe, the materialrealm). So lets look at these words in detail.

    Ruach means breath, wind or spirit, and in this case it means Spirit as it islinked to Elohiym, the Mighty One. So we are speaking of the Spirit of the mighty One,Chokmah is her name and means wisdom, that which is set apart from the Might One and

    is also related to the Mighty One, which is also the Mighty One. The Spirit is alsoYahuah, but is the feminine aspect of Yahuah. Ruach is a feminine noun in the Hebrewand as such depicts the feminine nature of the Spirit. Through out Scripture, and in thecompleted covenant, the Spirit is always given feminine attributes and does the work of amother, she nurtures, teaches, covers, feeds, clothes, and protects. And this is exactly

    what she is doing with the young universe. But lets get onto the next word which israchaph, this means to hover, to move over, but also to cherish, to brood. The root of

    rachaph is rachats which means to wash, to purify, especially with water, and in aspiritual sense. And the last word we need to look at is mayim which means water.

    So putting all this together and bringing in some more science before we start to

    understand even more the spiritual aspects of the Spirits work.

    The Spirit was hovering over the just created universe. The term hover meanshover over like a mother would her child, her new born baby, watching out for the child,

    tending to the child, seeing to the childs needs, protecting the child, washing andpurifying the child. Here the Spirit is tending to the embryonic universe, caring for itsneeds, making sure it would grow, securing its future.

    But lets pause here and try to understand what our embryonic universe was like?Let us try to imagine. The universe was hot, very hot, and something in the region of

  • 7/28/2019 01_Genesis 1-5 - Creation - Day One

    14/27

    43

    1x1032

    degrees Kelvin, which is billions of times hotter than the centre of our sun. In sizeit was about 1 x 10-20 times smaller than an atomic nucleus, thats around one thousand,

    billion, billion times smaller. No matter was yet to exist, only energy, light was bound by

    electrons, photons were bound therefore no light could exist. It was at this stage theSpirit moved upon the face of the waters, a term used for the primordial chaotic soupwe call the early universe. It was at this point that we get the start of what scientists call

    the Inflationary Period. Due to the Spirit the universe started to expand and thetemperature dropped, so that after about 1x10-35seconds the temperature cooled to about

    1x1020 0

    k, and it was at this point that the Inflationary period happened. During thisperiod all the laws of physics fell, as it were, by the wayside, it was like they were thrown

    out the window just so this Inflation could happen. No scientist has come up with adefinitive answer as to why this happened, but without it we, this universe would, couldnever have existed. The rate of expansion was faster than the speed of light, a universalconstant that can never be broken, except of course in this case. That is why I say it was

    the Spirit of God moving over the waters of the very early, very small universe to makeit happen. This period of cosmic inflation is thought to have ended when the strong andelectro weak forces separated. It is also believed by scientists that a vast infusion, burstof energy was released, reheating the universe to its new temperature.

    By the time the universe was a minute old it was many light years across, and itstemperature dropped to around 1x109 0k, which is still about seventy times hotter than theinternal temperature of our sun today. It was around this time that some nuclei particlesstarted to form, Hydrogen, Helium, Beryllium and Lithium.

    Although some atomic nuclei were formed during the first few minutes from the

    Big Bang the universe was far too energetic for electrons and atomic nuclei to cometogether to form atoms. Any that might have formed would have been quickly broken up

    by multitudes of collisions by high-energy particles. The reason being the early universewas dominated by these high-energy particles of electro magnetic radiation such asgamma rays. This radiation was in the form of high-energy photons, packets of energy

    travelling at the speed of light.

    After about three hundred thousand years the universe cooled to about threethousand degrees Kelvin, and the energy of even the most energetic photons would have

    dropped enough to allow atoms and photons to co-exist, these primarily would have beenhydrogen and helium. It would also be around this time that light would also be free to

    exist. It is this light Father will talk about in verse three so we are jumping ahead a littlehere. This matter then started to coalesce, to clump together to form long strings of

    primordial gasses. Motion, motion is a key also to existence, through circular motionthese strings of primordial matter formed into the spiral galaxies we observe today. It is

    from these first clumpings that the first stars formed, stars that gave more light to theuniverse, and it is from these first stars that the heavier elements came to be. Elementsthat eventually formed the dust of the earth we live on, and from which we come.Another important thing to note here is the formation of spiral galaxies, the spiral is oneof the few things common to nature, they are found everywhere from galaxies tosunflowers to sea shells and a great multitude of things in between, it is also the link

    15/27

    44

    between the six literal days of creation and a fifteen to sixteen billion year old universewhich we will look at after the next verse..

    This is what I believe the Spirit of Yahuah did while she was hovering over thewaters of our embryonic universe, protecting, washing, expanding, bringing order out ofchaos so life, so we could exist. She enabled the waters to come into being, the

    hydrogen, which is the basis of water. She was like a mother nursing a newborn child.

    There is also a spiritual aspect to this as well, a pointing to a future time, a timewhen She would be doing the very same things but with individual souls, with human

    beings who come into a relationship with the Father. The ruwach of elohiym, the Spiritof the Mighty One, washes sin from our souls, she purifies mortal men and women, Sheclothes us in Her garment of light, She fills our hearts with the knowledge of the MightyOne, She guides us, She nurtures us, She teaches us, She is that still small voice that

    guides us, She hovers over us as a mother does her new born for She is our SpiritualMother. And fifteen billion years later, from our perspective, and just over six days fromHers She would come to men and women after the Son, Yahushua, ascended to theFather, She came and indwelled all those who were part of Fathers family and to this dayShe indwells and moves over the waters of our individual souls and She will do till thetime of completion. As it tells us in Deuteronomy 32:11-12, As an eagle arouses and

    stirs her nest, quickly cleaning and hovering over to protect it on behalf of heryoung, spreading out her wings like a garment covering them, receiving them, liftingthem up and carrying them away upon her wings, so Yahuah alone, separated fromothers, led the way. And there was no false mighty one working or associating withHim.

    The eagle is depicted as a mother bird with her children simply because YahuahsSpirit is our Spiritual Mother. This is the unique benefit of being born from above, being

    born of the Spirit, we become her children, the eternal sons and daughters of the mosthigh God, Yahuah. And like the eagle with her young she hovers over us to protect us,

    she keeps us pure in Yahuahs eyes, always washing us and cleansing us from the sin inour soul, she feeds us, she instructs us, she carries us away on Her wings being led by our

    Father, Yahuah, having no other might ones before us.

    Not only is rachats the root of rachaph and means to make clean by purifyingwith /in water by washing, it is also analogous of immersion, spiritual baptism, in the

    Renewed Covenant. Another word with the same base is racham and means love,unearned favour, mercy & compassion, and explains the reason for the gift of salvation..

    A third word from the same root is rachamah and means maiden, a virgin, so thiswords tells us the source of this Devine mercy. The fourth word from the same root is

    rachal which means ewe, a young male lamb; this of course identifies the method ofthis Divine mercy, our redemption. So we can say without any doubt that this portion ofScripture not only tells how Yahuah started to create the universe it also indicates whyHe made it and the path of our salvation, He is starting to show the ingredients of ourredemption.

    rwa-yhyw rwa yhy myhila rmayw

    Transliterated vamar elohiym hayah owr owr hayah

    And the Mighty One said let exist light and light existed. Genesis 1:3

    The first thing to note here is the words exist & existed, in the Biblos.com,(see http://biblos.com/genesis/1-3.htm), rendering these two words are made up of yhyand wyhyand if you combine these two renderings you have Yahuahs personal and

    proper name, yhwh, which means to be self existent and eternal. Also these two wordsfor exist are the same word in Strongs numbering system, (Strongs #1961), which is

    hyh, hyh, which means to exist, or to become, and is the basis of Yahuahs name. Also,since hayah is vocalised in the first person ehayahit can mean ,I was, I am, I will be,

    and as such this verse can be rendered as follows:- The Mighty One said, I was light, Iam light, I will be light, I exist as light. Or even The Mighty One said Yahuah was ,

    is and will be light, Yahuah exists as light.

    The most important thing to grasp hold of in this verse is that the Mighty One islight. This is the first of seven metaphors God uses to describe Himself. The others areLiving Waters, The Bread of Life, The Word, The Rock of Salvation, The upright pillarand the Set-Apart Family. But the first of these, Yahuah is light, is pictured and toldthroughout Scripture, Yashayahu, (Isaiah, and means Yahuweh has saved), chapter sixtyverses nineteen to twenty say,

    19The sun shall no longer exist as your light by day

    neither for brightness shall the moon give light, Yahuah exists as everlasting andeternal light, your Mighty One and your adornment, a garment of shiningappearance which brings honour, glory and splendour to the wearer. The sun shallno longer come and go, neither shall the moon, (an object denoting false gods,especially Islam), remove, gather and receive, for Yahuah shall exist as your eternaland everlasting light. The days of mourning over death shall be finished by way ofrestitution.

    Also in the Renewed Covenant we have, 22And I did not see or discern,

    perceive or discover, observe or understand, consider or contemplate a Temple orSanctuary in it, for Yahuah the Mighty One Almighty, the omnipotent ruler of all

    things and the Lamb are and exist as its Temple and Sanctuary. 23And the city hasand possesses no necessity or need of the sun, or the moon, so that and in order forthem to shine and give light, bring things into view and make them visible and

    manifest, expose and make things known in it, for the splendour and brightness,magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, grace and majesty of God

    shines and illuminates, makes things known, manifests and reveals everything in it,and its torch and lamp is the Lamb. 24And the nations and populations will walk,

    making their way and regulating their life by and through the means of, by thereason and ground of, because of and on account of its light and illumination, truth

    and knowledge; and the kings and rulers, princes and commanders, leaders, chiefs

    and monarchs of the earth and land, ground and inhabited regions shall bring andbear, endure and express, uphold and carry their splendour and brightness,

    magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, grace and majesty into it;

    (Rev 21:22-24).

    And, 4and they will see and perceive, discover and notice, inspect and

    examine, observe and look upon His face, having access to Him, and His name andtitle, character and person, reputation and authority will be upon their foreheads.5And night nor darkness, blindness, harm nor death shall no more and no longer be

    present, exist or be possible, and they have and possess no need for the light orillumination of a lamp or a torch, nor the light and illumination of the sun, forYahuweh God will shine and illuminate, make things known, manifest and revealeverything to them, and they will be kings and rulers, princes and commanders,leaders, chiefs and monarchs forever and ever, for the unbroken age, the perpetuity

    of time and eternity. (Rev 22:4-5)

    What is light? Some say it is the purest form of energy, the photon is the unit oflight as well as all other forms of electromagnetic radiation. It is mass less, as a result ittravels at a constant speed in empty space, it has wave particle duality, but moreimportantly it gives life. First of all without light we could not exist in any shape orform, photosynthesis could never happen and we could never feed, animals could nevercome into existence. Light is as necessary to life as water. Light transfers needed energyfrom one place to another, there is a little packet of energy, a quanta of energy in every

    photon, the amount of energy depends on its wavelength, the smaller the wavelength thegreater the energy and vice versa. Light also makes the darkness flee, and there is no

    better way to put it, I know this makes darkness seem like some sort of beast that runsfrom the light, it is not, it is just that without light there is only darkness. You seedarkness is not the opposite of light, it is the absence of light. Like evil isnt the oppositeof good it is the absence of good. And the Mighty One likening Himself to light points tothe fact that in Him there is no darkness at all, and that all He is can be seen by all who

    would only look, but as Yahushua told us light came into the world but the peoplepreferred the darkness. This also tells us what the abyss is going to be like, it is the only

    truly dark place in creation where light cannot exist, it is the absence of Yahuah Himselfand all that He brings, love, compassion, mercy, kindness, laughter, joy, colour, peace

    and all the good things we could think of.

    Light, the light of Yahuah shines up the sin in our souls, it shows us who wetruly are and what we are truly like, if only we were courageous enough to look and see.

    Then when we see, that is if we look, we turn to the source of that light for regenerationand cleansing, and to be covered with the Set-Apart Spirits garment of light by way of

    the Lambs sacrifice. The wearing of this garment from our Spiritual Mother is eternal,illumination time itself, and when time comes to an end we will live beyond time, livingin Fathers domain, the place from where He created this very universe.

    Also, we must remember, on this first day the first stars were formed, these gaveof light in a dark fledgling universe, they also were the source of all the heavier elements

    Raw-aw elohiym eth-owr kee-tobe bow-dal elohiym bane owr bane choshech.

    And the Mighty One saw, (found delight in, perceived and regarded), the light wasgood, (better, beautiful, cheerful, well pleasing, agreeable, higher nature, beneficial,morally good, bountiful as in prosperous, therefore trustworthy and true). And the

    Mighty One separated, (divide and separate, to sever out), light from darkness, (to bedark, darkness, misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness, and

    obscurity). (Gen. 1:4)

    The first interesting aspect of this verse is the ethin between elohiym &owr,ethis prepositional, it denotes a relationship with a noun or pronoun and another word.In this case it marks a relationship between the Mighty One and light. Also ethcan giveor suppose a sense of self, therefore, the Mighty One is telling us that He is, or should Isay, light describes part of His nature and He is linking light to Himself as we saw in thelast verse.

    The second interesting aspect of this verse is tobe, translatedgood, but has manyrelated meanings as follows,good, better, beautiful, cheerful, well pleasing, agreeable,

    higher nature, beneficial, morally good, bountiful as in prosperous, therefore trustworthyand true.

    From this we can draw out that Yahuahs light, His way, His Word, (the Torah,Prophets, and Psalms, and the same made flesh, Yahushua), is of a higher nature, it is not

    just good for us it is also beautiful, beneficial. It will make us cheerful filled with joy, itis bountiful and will bring in a good harvest, it is morally good and as such it teaches usthe moral wisdom and how to live our lives pleasing to Father which, of course, we cando only when we are filled with the Set-Apart Spirit, our Spiritual Mother and covered by

    Her light, in other words born from above as Yahushua told Nicodemus. Above all it,His Word, and He Himself, is trustworthy and true. As it is written, let every man be a

    liar and the Mighty One be true.

    As we also saw the light of Yahuah shines up the sin in our souls, light also makesthe darkness flee, Yahushua is the light over the doorway of salvation as well as beingthat doorway, also Passover shines up the pathway of salvation along with the other sixMiquraey, the called out feasts. The Word is light for it shows Yahs plan from creationto completion, from birth to life, from the material to the spiritual.

    The next word of importance is bow-dal and means to divide and separate, tosever out. Which again brings us to choshech, which means to be dark, darkness,

  • 7/28/2019 01_Genesis 1-5 - Creation - Day One

    19/27

    48

    misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness, and obscurity, it is that placewhich shrouds with blackness, it brings down the veil by withholding the truth, which is

    the light of God, it is that place where lies are wrapped in a vestige of truth, with its

    mysterious and sinister suggestions leading to confusion, and ignorance and obscurity.This is exactly how Satans dark deceptive spirits work, they take a poisonous lie, one, oreven many small insidious little lies and wrap them in a vestige of truth, they call it the

    mysteries, oh mystery Babylon, how that spider weaves its web of deceit across anignorant and confused world. These lies taste so good to the mouth, so sweet, so tender,

    but, when they reach the bowels of your being they turn into the cancer they really are,and they eat away at your soul till there is nothing left. He wanders the dark places

    looking to see who he can devour, he lurks in the shadows, behind the scenes, he hideshis true nature and purpose. He uses the political, religious schemes, and in this modernday he uses the mass media, but these are seldom considered satanic, for if they were,how would they seduce? He is the ultimate saboteur, the agent provocateur, wrapping

    himself and his beguiling institutions in the mysteries. Oh ignorance is no excuse for hepreys on ignorance, he feasts on the ignorant. He wants nothing more than a confusedand ignorant society; it is his favourite stomping ground where the pickings are easy.

    Remembering here that darkness is the absence of light and not its opposite, it isone or the other. There is no grey area, no in-between, it is one or the other, the darknessor the light, Yahuah or Lucifer the Satan, (adversary), that is the one most importantchoice of every persons life, the Mighty One or the devil, whats it going to be? TheMighty One has made the distinction here, He has given us a credible choice, and forthere to be a choice then it has to be credible, and here He has shown the spiritual choice,darkness or light, whats it going to be? An eternity in a loving beautiful familial

    relationship with our Father Yahuah or an eternity with the other spiritual wannabefather where you will exist in a one dimensional construct of time and eternity, filledwith only a knowledge of what could have been if you had only chosen different and ofcourse let us not forget the despair those in that place will eternally expierance. Althoughit must be said, again which will be shown later, there is a third choice we can make and

    most will make it by default, and that is non-existence, choose neither spiritual place,light or darkness, and you just cease to exist, as though you never existed in the first

    place, you will become a long forgotten memory. Although this is not really a choicebecause if you do not choose light or darkness you automatically fall into this category,

    there is no choice in that. But, let it also be said that if you do fall into this category therewill be no eternal suffering, no punishment, no pain, no tears, no nothing, it will be as the

    Buddhists seek, your soul, your life will go back to the Creator and your personality willdissipate into nothingness.

    And the Mighty One called the light day, (an age of time, from sunrise to sunrise, butcan also imply Day of Yahuah, when He comes in judgment), and the darkness called

    night, (a twist, (as in away the light), night. And fig. Adversity, without Divine guidance

    or comfort, personal distress, night of death.), and thereexisted evening, (Gives ameaning of mixing, grow dark, dusky, night, evening, also a mixing of day and nightwhich implies a day must come before the night), and thereexisted morning, (Break of

    day, early morning; morning or dawn is the end of a day and also implies a mixing of apreceding night), day one, (A compound unity of one, to unify into one, a unified whole,

    yet being a complete one). (Gen. 1:5

    There are some very interesting aspects to do with this verse and a lot of sciencewhich, hopefully, I will be able to put across in laymans terms, which I should be able toas I am a layman, but it covers Einsteins Relativity, cosmic time and the red-shift andsome math. But before we get to the science let us look at some other interesting aspects

    of this verse.

    The word Yah used, remembering that Yahuah is very precise in His languageand choice of words, is lay-il, and actually means a twist, the root of this word isluwl (lool, Strongs 3883,), which means to fold back, a spiral step, a winding step.

    Now what is interesting is that there is another word for night which does not have thetwist in the meaning and simply means night and that is layl elah. If God meant justnight without any secondary or further meaning then He would have use this quiteadequate word, but He didnt, He used lay-il. Therefore, I believe Father wants us tosee the deeper, meaning, a meaning which also connects to the abyss, the place ofseparation. This is the place of adversity, personal distress, and separation from Father,

    this would be personal distress in the extreme. It is also the place without Divineguidance or comfort. Have you ever thought what it would be like if all Divine comfortand love, guidance and help, was suddenly not here? Not a pleasant thought in the least.My mere mortal mind cant even begin to comprehend what it would be like separatedfrom all good, love, comfort, colour, peace and even hope. Not nice ah? But that is the

    choice we have to make, light or darkness, day or night, the Mighty One or separation.Do we want a loving familial relationship or not, that is up to us, we can walk through the

    door of Yahushua, through the Passover lamb, or not, thats up to us.

    Another interesting aspect is, and there existed evening, and there existedmorning, day one. From our perspective, when we see a day we look at it from daytime

    to night time, daytime and night time, one day. But that is not what Yah said here, Hesaid evening, or night time, and morning, or daytime, day one. I think the Mighty One

    is looking at the day from a totally differing perspective, I should say He is looking at Hiscreation from a totally differing perspective, He is looking from the very start forward but

    we can only look from the present back. See the difference? Yahuah existed before timeand space, or space-time, so He is looking forward, but also remembering that He canlook forward and experience all time from the beginning to the end in an instant as Heexists outside of time. But from our perspective, us who live within time, we can onlylook back in time. So there are two different perspectives being spoken of here, and wewill need to keep this in mind for the next science section.

    For many years the Christian church has held the belief, and taught it to many

    millions of people, that this earth and even the universe itself is just about six thousand

    years old and that the universe and everything in it was created in just six days. That issix twenty four hour days from our perspective, from our system whereby we measuretime. Yet, every now and again we hear of this fossil, or that fossil that has just been

    discovered that is millions of years old. We hear of the cretaceous, Jurassic, Triassicperiods of 60 to 250 million years ago right through to the Precambrian period of 600

    million years ago. And we also have modern cosmologists and astro-physicists telling usthat the universe is anything between 14 and 16 billion years old. Some in the Christian

    circles try and tell us that the Mighty One put the fossils in the ground to make it lookold, umm, this doesnt wash with me, think about it, what kind of Mighty One would dosuch a thing? What kind of Mighty One would need to do such a thing? None that Iwould follow for a start. For a start why would He do it? Why would He want to lay

    false trails? Why would he want to play such infantile games with us? That is the sort ofbehaviour you would find in a soap opera or the school playground, or amongst immaturecollege students, not an almighty, all powerful, creating Yahuah. Also, there is no goodreason at all for Him to do such a thing. He is bigger than that and far more intelligent.And I find it sad that some people who claim to know Him would make up such a feebleand infantile excuse to explain what they clearly do not understand.

    So, lets ask the six million dollar question, is this universe six days plus sixthousand years old or about fifteen billion years old? The answer is simple, YES.They are both right, this universe was created in exactly six twenty four hour days and ittook approximately fifteen billion years!!! How can this be I hear you ask, what rubbish

    is this your speaking? How can it be both six days old and fifteen billion years old at thesame time? The answer is again so very simple and Albert Einstein provides this answerin his law of relativity.

    But, the first thing we have to understand is there are two different time lines in

    Scripture, the first is the creation account, the six twenty four hour days, but this time lineis from the Mighty Ones perspective, it has to be because He was the only one around

    who was a witness to it. He is giving us the account of creation from before there wasany time, remember that time cannot exist without matter, and in Yahuahs realm of

    eternity time is actually meaningless because every measure of time, second or otherwise,is in and of itself eternal within eternity, therefore, time starts after the Big Bang at day

    one. So the first six days is from Gods perspective looking forward. The secondtimeline starts from Adam, I think it starts from the time Adam & Chevah was thrown out

    the garden for disobedience, but thats not the point. The point is from Adam onwardstime is measured from our perspective, from our system. Yes we are approximately six

    thousand years from Adams fall but the universe took about fifteen billion years to get totoday with time measured from our perspective, which is looking back in time. So whatwe see as fifteen billion years looking back in time, towards the Big Bang, Yahuah seesas six twenty four hour days looking forward in time, from the Big Bang, because time isrelative to the system your measuring it from, so Both are equally right and valid.Thereby I do not see any problem whatsoever with having a fossil record. The strange

    22/27

    51

    thing is when Einstein was formulating his theory of Relativity he didnt realise that hewas reuniting the findings of science with the truth of Yahuah, its a strange world. We

    need to look at what else effects the flow of time, things like gravity and temperature and

    we need to look at some cosmology to get a fuller picture of things, we also need to havea basic understanding of Cosmic Background Radiation, or more accurately CosmicMicrowave Background Radiation, we then need to have a look at the red shift and the

    expansion of the universe, then we need to do a little math which shows the mathematicalrelationship between Yahs six days looking forward and our fifteen billion years looking

    back. I will be writing as a layman simply because I am one, so, hopefully the sciencewill not be too daunting and the math will be fully explained and calculated out in a table.

    The math then can be easily reproduced by anyone else if they wish to do so, as long asthey own a scientific calculator that is.

    Time is a fascinating concept, and is not what the human race once believed it to

    be, that is linear and constant. That no matter where you were in the universe time was aconstant, regular flow, from one point in time to another. But within the last century wehave discovered that time is relative to the system from which you are making themeasurements, this is Einsteins Law of Relativity. From Earth, our perspective, with ourgravity, given our position in space, fairly close to a star, our speed of rotation, on theearths own axis and orbiting our star, and with the temperature of open space time flowsat a certain rate. We can only measure time from our perspective, with our tools, in oursystem. We cannot measure the flow of real time from say the sun, or from the Moon, oreven from our nearest neighbouring star, about 50 light years away. We cannot measurereal time from those places unless we actually go there and take the measurements. Butif we did then the readings we get would be different those we get here on Earth simply

    because the system from which we are taking the measurements is different. For a startof, if we were on the sun we would be experiencing tremendous heat and a greatlyincreased gravity, these two variables alone would influence the rate at which timeflowed. You would find, if you could stand on the suns surface, that time for you wouldslow by about sixty seven seconds every year. Lets say you had an exact twin living on

    earth while you was living on the sun, well, he, on Earth, would age sixty seven secondsevery year more than you. How do we know this? We cannot measure real time from

    the sun but we can measure the effects on the wavelengths of light emanating from thesun. We know the length of the light waves coming from the sun and we know the

    wavelength of the very same light frequencies when created here on earth, and thewavelength of the light from the sun by the time it reaches earth has been stretched by

    2.12 parts in a million. That translates to the sun aging sixty seven seconds less everyyear when compared to here on earth.

    Now, lets take this thought to another level. Imagine a set of twins, you and a

    brother or a sister. Lets say you moved to a planet that slowed time by a factor of say,100,000, what that means is, for every second your clock ticked on your new world, yourtwins clock on Earth would have ticked 100,000 seconds. That means that for every tenminutes you age on your new planet your twin will age by about 1.88 years, about a yearand nine months. Lets say you had a twenty four hour contract, and pretend there isinstantaneous travel through some form of hyperspace, remember we are pretending here,

  • 7/28/2019 01_Genesis 1-5 - Creation - Day One

    23/27

    52

    and you came back after that twenty four hours, your twin would have aged byapproximately 270 years. Lets hope for a long life ah? That is what is meant by time

    being relative. So on that basis we could go anywhere in the universe and find a different

    rate at which time flows, because nowhere else is exactly the same as here on earth, andtherefore, it is conceivable that we could go to a place that measures the age of theuniverse as a thousand years, another a billion years, another twenty billion years and

    everything in-between. It is even theoretically possible to find a place that measures theuniverse as six days old, umm, interesting. But, that is not what we need. What we need

    is a universal time, or a universal measure of time that encompasses the whole universe inits complete entirety, we need to be able to step outside the universe, outside all these

    differing time dilations, we need to find an all encompassing cosmic time.

    Fortunately we do have such a measure of universal time, a cosmic clock if youwill. It is a cosmic clock that had its beginnings, it ticked its first Pico-second the

    moment the first proton formed from the free quarks that were flying around theprimordial universe, that moment when the first quarks were confined into matter andlight began to exist. That clock was the high energy photons of light, remembering thatlight is more than just the visible light that we see, it encompasses the whole electro-magnetic spectrum, permeating the whole universe at the time of creation. This was auniform, very high energy, very short wavelength radiation, gamma radiation, which wenow call the Cosmic Background Radiation, or the CBR. The uniformity of the CBR wasset in stone, as it were, within the inflationary event, when the universe expanded sorapidly that the very laws of physics seemed to have been put on hold. At that time thewavelength of the photon was approximately 10-12 meters long, thats about ten milliontimes smaller than a mille meter, and it had an energy level of around 124 million

    electron volts. These high energy levels would have made the universe about a million,million times hotter than it is today, which is understandable remembering that all thematter and energy within the universe was compressed into a space smaller than a pinhead. (We can even experience this heating effect today with a compressor, the machinecompresses the air into a small compression chamber to maybe 20 or 30 atmospheres and

    there is heat generated because the air is carrying more energy.)

    Now we can see the self same CBM today uniformly throughout the universe,but, it is in a slightly different form and it is called Cosmic Background Microwave

    radiation, or CBMR. And it was discovered by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson in 1965.This is the only radiation that has been around since the creation of the universe and is

    therefore the only basis on which to form our cosmic clock.

    So what took place that changed the CBR to the CBMR we see today? Thesimple answer is the stretching of the fabric of space itself, and as space and time are

    linked this would stretch time by the same factor. And we know this because of theCBMR we measure in the universe today. Going back to the CBR, if you stretch thefabric of space you must also stretch the wavelength of the radiation emitted at the big

    bang, and that gamma radiation at the start of the big bang has been stretched so far thatwe measure it today as Microwave radiation, it has shifted from the white/blue end of thespectrum to the red end of the spectrum, this is what is meant as the red Shift. How does

  • 7/28/2019 01_Genesis 1-5 - Creation - Day One

    24/27

    53

    this stretching of space stretch the wavelength of the photon? For a very simplisticanswer, although the principle is the same, if you take a balloon and draw on it two well

    defined points, then draw a wave form, like a sin wave, the long way around the balloon

    connecting the two points. Then, blow it up, you will notice that as the balloon getsbigger the wave form you drew starts to stretch apart and the distance between two peaksgets wider. This is the wave length getting bigger and the frequency getting smaller.

    You will also notice the two points moving further apart. In the same way if the fabric ofspace stretches, as it clearly does, then the galaxies and stars will move further apart and

    the wavelength will increase.

    You can get a feel for this with sound. If you are standing at a railway station andyou hear a train coming towards you, you will hear the train at a higher frequency thanthe trains real sound because the sound waves are compressed. Now, when the trainreaches your position you hear the trains true sound. But, when the train passes you and

    speeds on the sound you hear is of a lower frequency because the sound waves are beingstretched. Getting back to the cosmic clock, when the universe started the cosmic clockstarted, and over the eons with the stretching of space, thereby the stretching of thewavelength, the tick of the cosmic clock, time itself becomes stretched. The more thestretching the longer it takes for the cosmic tick to tick and today we find that tick isabout a million, million times slower than when it first started ticking.

    As light moves away from your positionit stretches and the wavelength becomeslonger, but as it moves towards your

    position it compresses and thewavelength becomes shorter.

    Lets have a look at some math to see the relationship between the ticking of thecosmic clock back when it first started and today.

    The Mathematics

    As we can see the spiral, based on a logarithmic scale, can be found everywherewithin nature and is especially seen in the Nautilus shell. And time is likewise the same,the difference between time from Gods perspective and time from our perspective can belinked by a logarithmic equation, A=A0e

    -Lt, where A is Earth time, the number of earth

    days contained within the relevant Genesis day.

    Ao is the instantaneous ratio of cosmic time at the moment of quark confinementto current time or, equally stated, the ratio of cosmic background radiation then to now,

    which in turn is proportional to the ratio of cosmic background temperature then(10.9*1012oK) to now (2.730K).

    L is the natural Log 2.

    t is Genesis time in days and increases from one to six.

    To learn the duration of each Genesis day we integrate the equation and solve foreach of the six Genesis days. We also must remember that the units is days, so we mustconvert the answers to years by dividing by 365, and summing the six answers will give

    the approximate age of the universe from our perspective.

    (See The Science of God, by Gerald L. Schroeder, ISBN- 978076903035. Gerald L.Schroeder is a distinguished physicist.)

    We must not be surprised at the negative values for the answers because as statedearlier we are looking back in time from our perspective to the beginning, so our valueswould indeed be negative, and the value of Yahs six days would be positive because Heis looking forward in time when describing the six days of creation.

    Before we gat back to the Scriptures themselves we must first be able to equate

    each of the six twenty four hour days of Genesis to relevant cosmology, geology andpalaeontology records as we know them today. So this first day of Genesis when Yahuah

    creates the universe and separates the light from the dark, where the Spirit hovers overthe newborn creation, equates to the big bang, which signals the beginning of the

    universe, the beginning of matter, the beginning of time. The Spirit hovering over itequates to the inflationary period at the end of which light itself breaks free as electrons

    bond to atomic nuclei to form matter in the shape of Hydrogen and helium, then thegasses coalesce and galaxies start to form and stars are born. This is the first day of

    Genesis, a twenty four hour day in Yahs time frame that lasted about eight billion yearsin ours.

    Back the Word.

    In the beginning, (before space-time existed), the Mighty One, (the Father along withthe Set-apart Spirit, our Spiritual Mother, and the Word made flesh, Yahushua

    Messiyah), created the spiritual and the material realms.2and the material realm exists as a formless, chaotic void obscured in darkness,

    together with, along with the inaccessible mysterious depths, abyss:and the Spirit of the Mighty One hovered, (moved, protecting, nurturing, covering,

    feeding), over the face of the waters, (The primordial soup of our new born universe, thematerial realm).

    3And the Mighty One said let exist light and light existed, orThe Mighty One said, I was light, I am light, I will be light, I exist as light. Or even

  • 7/28/2019 01_Genesis 1-5 - Creation - Day One

    27/27

    56

    the Mighty One said Yahuah was, is and will be light, Yahuah exists as light.4And the Mighty One saw, (found delight in, perceived and regarded), the light was

    good, (better, beautiful, cheerful, well pleasing, agreeable, higher nature, beneficial,

    morally good, bountiful as in prosperous, therefore trustworthy and true). And theMighty One separated, (divide and separate, to sever out), light from darkness, (to be

    dark, darkness, misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness, and

    obscurity).TheMighty Oned called the light day, (an age of time, from sunrise to sunrise, but can

    also imply Day of Yahuah, when He comes in judgment), and the darkness called night,(a twist, (as in away the light), night. And fig. Adversity, without Divine guidance or

    comfort, personal distress, night of death.), and thereexisted evening, (Gives ameaning of mixing, grow dark, dusky, night, evening,), and thereexisted morning,

    (Break of day, early morning), day one, (A compound unity of one, to unify into one, aunified whole, yet being a complete one).

    Genesis 1:1-5

    So here we have the first day of Yahuahs creation, a twenty-four hour day thatalso lasted eight billion years. It is a day when God instituted the big bang, something weonly discovered about fifty years ago, a day where the Mighty One made the spiritual andmaterial realms, where He also set aside the abyss for the devil and his messengers, andall who will choose to follow him. This is the first day where He hints at salvations plan,at the coming Messiyah, the set-apart Son, and the work of the set-apart Spirit, ourSpiritual Mother. Here He also lays out the family plan, Father, Mother, Child, a patternHe intends for us all. It is with this pattern of familial relationships that He shows usexactly why He created the universe and us; He wants a loving, dynamic, familial

    relationship with us, every one of us individually and collectively. This is the purpose oflife itself, to love Yahuah as He first loves us, to freely choose to love Him in a personalway, to have a personal ongoing relationship where both can stand together, walktogether, talk together. He wants our trust and reliance, He wants our Friendship, Hewants our love!!! And that, my friends, is the choice that is also hinted at in the very first

    day of creation, the choice to love the Mighty One freely and live with the source of life,to love Satan freely and live with the source of death, or choose neither and have your

    souls dissipated into nothingness. That choice is solely yours. Also, another point tobring out with the first day, or I should say day one, and that is the number one itself, it is

    the number for Yahuah, He is the one true Mighty One and there is no other like Him andthere can never be one like Him. Adding the number of the first day of creation together

    with the number of the last day of creation, which is also the number for man, six, youget the number of perfection, seven, and it is perfection indeed, the Mighty One and man

    together, unified
