  • David on Genesis 1 - 14 years ago
    We all know that there is a spiritual reality as well as a natural reality. Elisha prayed that the eyes of the young man with him would be opened, and when they were, he seen a great host of angels(11 kings 6:17). Also an angel spoke to Abraham out of heaven ( Gen. 22:11)That being said the spiritual realm is all around us, good and evil.
    The first three days of creation are unique in my bible (kjv) were five elements were created and capitalized DAY, NIGHT, HEAVEN, EARTH AND SEAS. For a second let's just look at the numbers. 3 days , 5 elements. First day has 3 verses, second day has 3 verses, and the third day has 5 verses. 3 is the number of perfection 5 is the number of grace.
    Those five elements are symbolic
    DAY = GOOD
    NIGHT = EVIL
    HEAVEN = SPIRITUAL REALM
    EARTH = NATURAL REALM
    SEAS = LIFE
    Seeing this part of creation this way has helped me answer some questions, like why sometimes it says into the earth and unto the earth. Rev. 12:8&9 " ... neither was their place found any more in heaven.(spiritual realm) (9) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth,(natural realm) and his angels with him."
    Seeing the first three days of creation this way has also raised questions that I don't have the answers to and probably never will, but i don't believe in coincidences and I know that the bible will not contradict itself. Salvation is a personal experience with God. When we stand to give account of our lives, "he said this..." will not be accepted. We have to work out our own salvation through prayer and fasting and reading the Word of God. Religion is man made, we are God made.

    God Bless
