Gen i&ii Creation

*Gen 1:2 Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters.
Gen 1:3 And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light.
Gen 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
Gen 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
Gen 1:6 And God said: 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.'

I do not claim to solve any mysteries here. I am only blogging my ideas and observations.

This first chapter we travel back in time. In fact, we travel back before time. We go back before the beginning. Before reality was real. Before existence existed. Here we 'start' in eternity past. There was two things I see 'being' 'existing' here. God and water.

What about the earth mentioned in verse two? It says that it had no form and it was void, therefore it did not 'be' in eternity past. Why does it seem that water 'was' in eternity past? I can not say. I am making just an observation...I look forward to your comments.

God's first thing to create was Light. But darkness is mentioned in verse two? Darkness there is just a term used for nothing. Actually, less then nothing. There could be no darkness with out light. If light 'was not' then darkness could not be compared to anything, thus rendering it non-existent. When you jump in water you get wet. You become wet because you cease being dry. But what about a fish? It is nothing but wet. Only to a fish, wet is the state of things so it does not realize it is wet, that is all the fish knows. So with out light there was 'no' darkness. Once light was voiced into 'being' then could darkness be divided and made a separate thing.

Then God makes the firmament. This, I think is the start to the universe. Later on in the chapter we see God 'haning' the stars in the firmament/canopy/sky. The stars hang and move in the expanse of the universe. This is the creation of reality. Perspective. Being.

These are a few things I found interesting in these chapters. Comment it up I would love to hear what you think (not in disagreement with my ideas, but a voicing of your ideas)

May we see the awesome power and control of our wonderful creator through this reading.
