Part One:

The Genesis Account


I:
The Beginning
Chapter 1:
The Genesis of Genesis

There is no better place to start our journey in finding out what


the Word of God says than in Moses’s Genesis1 account of
creation. The book is not only the beginning of the Bible, but it
is part of a collection of five books that tells the story of the first
2,500 years of “His Story” (history.)2 The story is complete,
chronological, and well organized. It focuses on a specific tribe of
people3 and follows them to the author of the Pentateuch,
namely, Moses. Much will be talked about in Genesis 1, so we
will set our sights on it chiefly, giving a quick overview first, and
then dive in deeper with each continuing chapter.

Of the whole of the first five books, the Pentateuch, the book of
Genesis is the only book that deals with the “first world” that was
antediluvian.4 Of the whole of Genesis, the first five chapters deal
with the first 1,500 years of antediluvian world. But what we will
focus in on as the premise to this work, is the premise to The
Work, and that is namely Genesis chapter 1, even more
specifically, the first half of that chapter. We will be looking at
the first four days of creation in detail, and most importantly, day
one, day two, and day four.

It is at this point, dearest reader, that somewhere deep in the


recesses of your keen mind that you will be tempted to go back

1
The “JEPD Model” shows that Moses is the most likely candidate for
the Pentateuch, the first five books of our Bible.
2
Around 4000 BC to 1450, give or take, based on the genealogies listed
within scripture.

Whom the Romans called: “Hebraios” - the ancient Hebrews. A
nomadic semitic people.

to the table of contents and find something “more interesting” -
because, like many of us, we have read these passages many times
before. Let me give you high assurances that your time will not
be in vain. Pray, continue on. It may enrich you and reward you
greatly.

Day One begins with the creation of the light, and the separation
of it away from dark. He then labels them “Day and Night.”5

Day Two begins with the creation of the firmament. And that’s
literally all He creates except name it. He called it “Raquia” and
it was to divide the upper waters from the lower waters. So then
Raquia is Heaven number two. The upper most part of heaven
would later be called the “Third Heaven.”6 There is Heaven 1
(The Sky) Heaven 2 (Firmament) and Heaven 3 (God’s Throne).
These are known as “The Heavenlies.” This shall be gone into
detail later.

Day Three God did some separation of the earth (land) from the
under waters and made something new from the earth and called
it “Dry Land” - Then He proceeds to make every plant on the
earth.7

5
Nowhere in the original Hebrew text can I find that God created
darkness. It appears to have already been residing in the beginning, in
verse two, where we see “darkness” over the plane of the deep.

2 Corinthians 12:2 ESV “I know a man in Christ who fourteen years
ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of
the body I do not know, God knows." This is the only usage of this
term in the Bible, however, it is an understood idea that Paul obviously
does not create on his own, and exists in the socio-dynamics of the
culture of Israel during the time of this writing.
7
I’ve always wondered about underwater vegetation. The Hebrew
word used is not the one for “Dry Land” but simply “Earth” again, so,
every part of earth above and below water is accounted for.
Day Four God creates lights. Not to be confused with “Light”,
for this scientific idea is not just the item. These tiny things
called: “lights” are specific items inside of the firmament to tell
time. God made two really big lights, specifically for keeping
time. The first one was the Sun to keep the hours of the day.
The second one was the Moon, to keep weeks and months. After
these two things, He creates “Stars” to rule the seasons.8

To be exhaustive, just for a brief moment, let us find out what


God did with the rest of His time. For it is precisely on Day Five
that God creates all non-vegetated life in all the oceans, streams,
seas and body of water on the earth. Then, He creates all the
flying animals.

Day Six God makes all of the animals that live in and on and
around earth that are not water or sky dwellers. Then He makes
mankind.9 He blesses all of them and lets them take dominion
over all of His creation.

Day Seven He rests from His creating.

This is a quick and rough breakdown of days one through seven


of God’s creating. This book will not deal with the subjects of the
pre-creation world10 nor will it deal with Adam11 and Ishshah,12

Many people frown on this interpretation, yet Genesis 1:14 specifically
explains their exact usage as timepieces.
9
Called: “Hadam” ‫֙ ָ ָֽהאָ דָ ם‬, Genesis 1:27
10
Before Day One, we find that there was an earth but it was “void”
and “dark.”
11
From the chronological Bible, one can surmise that because Hadam
(Mankind) were created in Genesis 1, Adam (The Man) was created
specifically away from the Hadam and placed in The Garden of Eden.
12
Or exactly: “Woman” - Adam would rename her “Eve” (The
mother of my heirs) when they were expelled from the Garden of
Eden.
specifically, but will deal directly with days one through four, or
even more specifically with days one, two, and four.
