In The Beginning
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” Gen 1:1
In the past year it has become abundantly clear to me that the remedy for all that ails humanity starts with Genesis 1 verse 1. On my Rumble channel I have taken on the challenge of breaking down Genesis chapter 1 through Genesis 2:9. A very daunting task indeed.

Exposition of The 7 days of God's Creation
1st day
God said, "Let there be light". God's Light is different than sunlight or moonlight. God the Creator divided the Light from the Darkness. Born again believers are called sons and daughters of the Light. Jesus is the Light of the world. Light shines into darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it because the Creator made a division between light and darkness.
The Spirit of God hovered over the deep represented as "darkness" and "chaos" God is ineffable light. Satan masquerades as an angel of light. Satan can only borrow God's light and energy. Jesus as a human represented the True Light in human form and in Him there is no variation or turning. People say if there is a God why is there so much evil in the world? Without God the Creator there is no Garden, No Light, No human, and No true joy and fellowship with Our Creator.
We were made to be light and walk in the light.
Jesus (Word) is the Light of the World
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Jesus lives in the believer thus we are sons of the Light
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.
2nd day
Then God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, an let it divide the waters from the waters." Here we see the vertical nature of the separation between "waters above" from "waters beneath".
This day "up and down" are established. God's Throne is up and the earth is below. There is a clear unambiguous separation of Heaven and Earth. The firmament is translucent molten cast structure able to handle the weight and pressure of water bearing down above. The worldwide flood happened when the waters above released from the waters above the firmament. The firmament should be understood as the bluish glass ceiling over top the earth. The firmament properly understood represents a molten glass ceiling where the Highest Throne is located above.
The establishment of The Throne of God. Up is holy and good. We are under the Goodness and Power of the Almighty. We must respect the Throne above.
God Almighty is Above us
Thus says the LORD: “Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest?
Heaven provides the End of all evil
“Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest? The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” 2 The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies! 3 Your people shall be volunteers In the day of Your power; In the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the dew of Your youth. 4 The LORD has sworn And will not relent, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.” 5 The Lord is at Your right hand; He shall execute kings in the day of His wrath. 6 He shall judge among the nations, He shall fill the places with dead bodies, He shall execute the heads of many countries. 7 He shall drink of the brook by the wayside; Therefore He shall lift up the head.
3rd day
Then God said, "Let the water under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear" and it was so. Here we see that water and earth are preexistent. God didn't speak water or earth into existence. They were already there, so carbon dating is impossible.
God called the "dry" Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself according to its kind, and God saw that it was good."
Instantaneous existence of full grown trees with unique fruit each with their own seed to replenish itself.
The seed that grows more of the same kind of fruit tree as well as the herb. We see these beautiful created foods every time we walk through the produce section of the grocery store and we take it for granted. The food of Creation is perfect for our health but we have marred it's perfection by hybridizing the seed or eliminating the seeds from the fruit. Modern agriculture has put aside the natural design of the herb and fruit tree to mass produce fake food.
God has set the Boundary of land and sea
“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? 6 To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy? “Or who shut in the sea with doors, When it burst forth and issued from the womb; When I made the clouds its garment, And thick darkness its swaddling band; When I fixed My limit for it, And set bars and doors; When I said, ‘This far you may come, but no farther, And here your proud waves must stop!’
4th day
God said, "Let there be lights IN the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and them be for lights IN the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so.
Lots to ponder here. The lights we see are not billions of light years away. You can not read that into the text. The stars are inside of the firmament. No human knows how thick the firmament is. So we take these words at face value. We walk by faith in the word of God.
The stars are for us earth dwellers. The stars and their formations and rotations are for us to make time here on earth. What does that tell you about time itself?
Wasn't "time" always on the mind of the Creator?
Here is another aside:
Many biblical scholars will fight for the meaning of words all over the pages of scripture but when it comes to the word, "IN" they don't attempt to dig any further, why is that?
Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God set them "IN" the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth.
The Creator puts lights in the ceiling establishing a "calendar"
Wheel in the sky keeps on turning.
That song aptly describes what the heaven's are to us as earth dwellers. The heavens declare the glory of God. All the stars rotate around Polaris, which is directly over the middle of the earth, the stars rotate in the same direction every since they were put there by Our Creator. Let this truth amaze you.
If this 4th day of Creation doesn't make your head spin then you didn't read the text literally. I believe these words are literal. Moses intended for us today in our modern technological world to understand what the lights in the sky are and what there purpose is. NASA is fake news. There is no such thing as blackholes, infinite density, and gravitational pull of the earth around the sun and galaxies spinning like a vortex through the vacuum of space.
All fiction.
5th day
God said, "Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens." So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind, and God saw that it was good."
----
Wow. Were do beautiful colors come from. When you watch a scuba diver take film of the sea creature you can see with amazement that the sea is filled with all kinds of shapes and colors. All kinds of movements, fast and slow. Amazing as well are the various sized birds large and small. God is an amazing artist.
God blessed them saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth"
Animals get it, birds get it, and so do sea creatures. Procreation is natural and according to the will of the Creator. Male on male and female mating with females will not make new beings. Simple truth but lost in today's world.
6th day
God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so.
And made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind.
Why does Moses make a point with the words, "according to its kind"? Why did God the Creator bring a Great Flood on the earth during the days of Noah? Satan warped the minds of men to mix DNA of beasts and birds to create monsters that ate up the ecology of the earth. Let's us never forget what Satan did, dinosaurs were not part of the original created order.
Then God said, "Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
So God created man in His Own Image; in the image God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
Full stop. Why would man want to put the earth as 3rd planet from the sun as though we are insignificant to heaven when we are commanded to be managers of the earth and all that is in the earth. Why would we want to go to space? No other reason than to build a tower of Babel.
God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be food;" and it was so.
----
Notice the words, "face of the earth", from God's perspective from above the earth looks like a face not a ball. Notice clear instruction of what man is as "earth manager" we given clear instruction on what we are to eat and do.
Below is my effort to articulate the actual real design of heaven and earth as set forth in Genesis 1 & 2, we have wrongfully strayed from the truth of where we live and where God's Throne is located. If you look out on all the beauty you see in this earth realm you have to consider the owner and the initiator and the ruler of all that is.
Therefore God's Throne is in Heaven Above.
7th day
Thus the heavens and the earth, and the host of them were finished. And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.
Ponder
The rest spoken of here has yet to be experienced. As we learn the history of man on this earth we see so much struggle, pain, death, and war. How can we today believe that the 7th day of creation has been completed? We all, every human must "enter" the 7th day rest as humans putting all of trust in the Living God and the work of His Son, Jesus Christ. This is the gospel message we must preach in these final days of human history.
-----
Enter the Rest of God
Scripture clearly speaks of a "rest of faith" and of trust. Today we must enter this rest by faith.
Heb 4:1-11
1 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. 3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:
“So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; 5 and again in this place: “They shall not enter My rest.”
6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, 7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David,
“Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts.”
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. The Word Discovers Our Condition
11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
The Healing Vision of a walk through the first week of Creation
The Lord gave me the idea to use the template of the first week of Creation to reestablish our position as His managers of the earth because all humans were made in His image to oversee, govern, multiply, build, create, plant and harvest, manage all the creatures, and then to teach our children the source of everything that is.
Thus we bring these Divinely selected humans to a beautiful piece of God's earth so they are able to personally (using all 5 of their God-given senses) associate the glory of creation to their royal and high position as those who were created in His image to manage His Earth. All true by virtue of our dust-based design (image of Jesus Christ) and our receiving His eternal soul by the very breath of His Mouth.
In this work we would walk through the implications of each day of Creation to our current life in the modern very anti-God world. By reading each word in scripture associated with each day we would inform our mind of the real source of everything that is. We encourage conversation and continued thought to set a proper foundation of Creation in the heart of each person we are called to train. This work will insulate the human soul and mind from all the demonic attacks coming against us as we enter the final stages of human history.
In the Beginning... God!
Remember the days of old,
Consider the years of many generations.
Ask your father, and he will show you;
Your elders, and they will tell you
"Time" is God's greatest tool to make us like Him
Our Father wants to slow us down
The Question is this,
"Do we really understand the implications of a literal rendering
of Genesis 1 &2 and Creation Account?"
If you don't know the beginning of all things how are you going
to understand the end of things?
Jehovah God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the eternallife into his nostrils
The soul of man is the result of The Creator breathing into the nostrils of Adam
Is 40:22
"He sits enthroned ABOVE the circle of the earth"
John was taken UP to a real place, physical place, an eternal place, a place (city of Zion) that
will descend down to earth at the end
“Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this."

Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
