    Annotated Gen,1.18-19

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

    Here we see v.4 making a full round." and God divided the light from the darkness,"we see the will of God making shapes however fuzzy it may be light radiated goodness so life stirring in the natural world widened the separation of light from darkness. Ordinances of heaven in heaven saw four spirits patrolling north south west and east. The rest of God was established in the north country. The vision of Zechariah is underpinning the will of the Father which Jesus reveals in the Lord's Prayer,"Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."(Mt.6.10)When we come to the river flowing from Eden we come across four riverheads cardinal directions of which are fixed from heaven to this natural world. Thus heaven has more than one way to stretch the line over it. Zechariiah ch.1 mentions it thus,"and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem."(Zech.1.16) North country mentioned in ch.6 may have been under the siege from the Angelic revolt but the line is laid over the city, Zion and holy Jerusalem; simultaneously the Spirit of God moving upon the face of the waters and the angels are securing the waters . We shall examine them by and by.

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

    Each day in the Covenant serves as a milestone to help us understand the nature of and of darkness and why Good divided the light from darkness. The devil sins from the beginning "( 1 Jn 3.8) so next three days mark manifestation of the Son of man, the breath of life with which God made man a living soul. The Spirit of God moving upon the face of the waters when given the body of the Lamb slain as in the vision of John is associated with the Lamb slain,"seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth." His coming is as a sign in the context of Noah entering into the ark. (Mt.24.37-38)

    An amendment:

    Please insert this passage in the first para after this line:

    Thus heaven has more than one way to stretch the line over it.

    " Up and Down and Across shall have yet another: so the cherubim after the expulsion of man is shown with a flaming sword, 'which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.'(3.24) "

    Thanks,
