Enigma of the biblical Genesis (Commentary)

The good book, the bible, starts with Genesis, which explains how everything is created. The Bible starts with the first verse and first number, which says:

 

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)

 

The first act of God is to create heaven, where angels and Jesus live, and the formless and void earth. The heaven that the bible is speaking about above is not the sky that we consider as the universe because it will be created later on. Since this heaven, stated in Genesis 1:1 above, is created heaven, it also implies there is another uncreated heaven. This is because God was alive in his eternal heaven for eternity before the created heaven was created by him. Now, let us focus on the second number of the first verse, which is stated below:

 

“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” (Genesis 1:2)

 

Now darkness exists in the deep, while God does not have firm ground as a result is the implication of this number. What it is implying is that the faith of some of the angels of God in heaven was shaken because the devil did start his scheme to organize rebellion against God, in the deep. The faith in heaven, which created the firm ground for God’s kingdom in heaven, was made fluid because of the devil's informal rebellion (in-depth). Why is this interpretation right? It is because heaven is the throne of God, while earth is his footstool. Besides, the ultimate goal of God is to make his enemies his footstool before he makes his final judgment on them. What God is having on this earth is a footstool, a firm ground for the faith of heaven. God is inductively proven to his faithful angels that he is God by what happens on earth. That is why his enemies will be his footstool at last.

 

The war of God against the devil, therefore, is to show to all faithful angels of God, which decided to stand with him by faith, that he is the only God there is by defeating the devil with his mighty power, wisdom, and almighty nature. When the devil who doubts him and who organizes the rebellion against him is defeated by the mighty hand of God, God is proven and the devil is disproven. What was purely faith-driven trust in heaven will be rebuilt with inductive evidence, based on the experience of the devil's rebellion and its inevitable defeat, and earth will establish a firm footstool for God, therefore. Now, let us focus on following three numbers to understand the bible better.

 

“And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.” (Genesis 1:3-5)

 

So God said there should be light, this is not sunlight which will be created very soon. It cannot be God’s eternal light, his nature, because it is always there. What is God doing is shining light on the informal rebellion of the devil in the deep, so the light (government of God) and darkness (government of the devil) can be separated from each other. Why is this interpretation right? First, the devil was identified as one of the highest-ranking angels in heaven and that is before his downfall. Second, it is written that the devil did become rich with his trade before he rebelled against God. Now, imagine what a higher-ranking angel can trade with other lower-ranking angels. He was building soldiers and getting wealthy as a result. Then after, he wants to be like God (Jesus) and, as a result, he is cast away. Besides, the kingdom of the devil is identified as night and darkness, and the kingdom of God is identified as day and light everywhere in the bible. Now let us focus on the next numbers of the same verse.

 

“And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.” (Genesis 1: 6-8)

 

Here is the most important clue that supports the above interpretation. The next work of God is to divide the water (space) from above and the water (space) from below by heaven (sky or our universe). This sky is the space where stars, the sun, and the moon will be created very soon. This is the sky we normally call the sky or universe. Normally, our mind thinks God is dividing the water of this earth by land, but the created divider is the universe or our sky. What God did is divide the lower space (water) which includes our world and devils' space, from God's kingdom in upper water (space).

 

What God did up to now is to kick the devil out, with his followers, into lower space. But we have to remember the foundation of faith in heaven is shaken by the high priest of God himself, the first devil. Now God has to show that he is the only God there is and the devil is a lie to both children of God and enemies (the devils) at the cost of the devil's fall. God will stand firm by making his enemies (the devils) his footstools on this earth. Why is this interpretation right?

 

In the bible, one devil is presented as a source of all evil. But God did not destroy him just like that when he was alone without an army. This is because God will destroy the faith and trust of heaven. Knowledge is not always evidence. To know the truth is one thing and to prove it to others is another thing. If God decided based on his knowledge, while ignoring the ignorance and potential confusion of angels, God would lose a large army of Angels and their faith in God. So God allows the devil to deceive those who can be deceived by him (those who were trading with him in the first place), by choosing the least of the two evils. At a point in time, however, God put light on the problem, and devils and angels of God chose to stand against and with God, respectively. Yet still, most angels, who stand with God in faith, do not know what God knows that the devil is a born liar, though they know he is a sinful rebel. That is why the devil has to be seen doing his hustle of lying, under the watchful eye of all angels in heaven. Besides, angels of God have to see the nature of God creating things by his spoken words to rebuild their shaken faith on solid ground. After completing all creation, God will rest on the seventh day. Let us follow the bible into the next numbers.  

 

“And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called (t)he Seas: and God saw that it was good.” (Genesis 1: 9-10)

 

This means God made dry land, but we notice above the sea is not water but space. What God made is to separate what is solid from what is fluid. The full nature of the space, the true space, is separated into more dry land (our material word) and the fluid space of devils (the spiritual realm of the lower heaven). It is like making milk powder from cow milk or separating salt from salty water. Practically, this means there is space or a world visible to the spiritual eye only, and there is space that is visible to all, which is our material world. This is why science is partial truth and will never discover the full truth, because it is void of the spiritual world.  

 

Then God starts creating living things, the sun, stars, moon, and finally human beings in the form of Adam and Eve. The angels of God, in heaven, were happy, joyful, and singing when God was creating things and beings in their watchful eye. God did prove he is the creator by his act of creation. Besides, it is not wise if God made angels like them in front of them, it is not good to know that you can be made just like that, so God created human beings who look like them and like him. Angels do look like us, with snow-white heads and snow-white hair. In general, God did show that he can create things from nothing by his word. The next step is to prove devil is a liar. What you need is clue clueless leader to be ruler of all earth and all animals, including devils. 

The devils rebelled against Jesus, so they were forced to be ruled by Adam and Eve as one of the animals of the earth. Why? When the devil was rebelling and organizing an army in God’s heaven, he was watched by God only. When he was deceiving Adam and Eve by pure lie, however, the angels were watching and God just built his footstool. It is planned that the devil is the final footstool but Adam and Eve, unfortunately, join the devil, and our history rolls from it. The devil is put in Eden so he can reenact his older behavior and show how he deceives others with pure lies. This is the beginning of earth and heaven.
