1 | measure day\night no sun or stars | Gen 1:3 | b1anna | 72566 | ||
To "callmethewolfe" It seems obvious to me that God didn't need our sun to produce "Light.” There are many suns in existence about the universe. Light is a way that energy moves and the Lord God was pleased with its benefits. It was primary to creating anything else of the unshaped matrix of moist matter and deep expanse of space in which the power of the Holy Spirit was hovering or vibrating [Gen 1:2]. The Lord was putting a life-sustaining "Charge-Way" in the mix, to my mind, like threading warp and woof as a framework upon which other designs are laid out. Without that ability to pulse along, life can't integrate, so to speak; there can't be an exchange of one on one. Everything we know has movement. If the movement stops in an entity, it has died -- whether it is a person's body or a body of water. There is no longer a way to make exchanges necessary to the movement of Life. "In Him, we live and move and have our being." Then God made two places or ways: a place or way where He kept the light, leaving darkness behind. I dare say that what God called light and darkness is not from our present perspective of the rising of the sun and the going down of the same. If I were a student of the workings of electro-magnetic fields, I might have a better way of pointing out the sequence described here in which for 12 hours there was (in retrospect) an absence of this directed flow, followed by 12 hours in which there was the ability to go forth, which He said was like our concept of night and day, one day. So, He explains, during the first 24 hours (of the 6 days that He was working by His mighty power in creating the universe and furnishing it completely), He set up this cycle associated with the energizing hovering of a vibrational power. Perhaps it is easier to understand by an analogy. Say for Day Four God planned to make "vehicles" to bear or radiate light by burning combustibles, so on Day One His Plan calls for making "Paths" for these pulsars to move on, like roadways for cars as opposed to the off-road mode of travel. Or consider this: When I set my pet outside to get air and light, I fasten her leash where she can lie to one side of the post in the direct sun as long as it suits her with the option of going to the other side of the post to lie in the shade if she overheats. That keeps her comfortable, not burning up and not freezing. I believe that is the essence of this kind of cycling. I've heard many scientists describe what comes across to them from the Hebrew. They put it simply in layman's terms. I absorbed from them and distilled it to describe to my five year olds. It surely isn't technical. Dr. Carl Baugh has done a thorough job of describing the entire "Creation Model" at the Creation Research Museum in Glen Rose, TX. (I write this from memory, sorry if I got the spelling or name askew, or even my perhaps amusing explanation somewhat out of kilter. But I didn't see anyone else answering.) Hope that didn't throw you a curve. But sometimes getting outside the box opens up our intuitive understanding. I am in the Lord Jesus Christ, b1anna. Oops, PS, noticed you have already been answered. However, when (years back) I studied out the use of the terms translated "without form and void" in the Hebrew, as used elsewhere in scripture, I got the distinct impression that what was being revealed to Moses, writer of Genesis to Deut., in Genesis 1:2 is a "what is it?" conglomeration of "stuff" -- namely, plain old dust particles -- and moisture, wetness -- hung out in no particular fashion, having no discernible purpose -- featureless and devoid of indications of intelligence or intention. Some scientists themselves have described this matter of which earth itself is made as a "matrix," so I didn't feel I was far wrong in my Hebrew study of these two words. At any rate, I'd love to know more from a scientific perspective. I think the descriptions of creation and its benefits in Scripture are fascinating to delve into... |
