Bible Note: Genesis, Jeremiah use Tohu and Bohu, Isaiah uses baqaq and balaq. So I am uneasy about that reference. However, I must say, this is extremely interesting and has thrown me for quite a loop. I'll have to do quite a bit of study and prayer over this one. I question whether Jeremiah is literal or an allusion. But I make no judgment now. I take Gen 1:1-2 to mean that God created the universe and it was tohu (confusion) and bohu (emptiness), before He brought it out of the "imaginary" realm and into the three dimensional "real" realm. If it was empty how could it be confusion? There was clearly a disorganized something that was nothing. When taken with the word rachaph (shake, move, flutter). The Spirit of God fluttered is translated half as "hovered" and half as "moved" How can hover be the same as move? When it is flutter! The motion of flutter is the sinusoidal wave which is described in terms of sin x is equal to (exp(ix) - exp(-ix))/2i all waves have imaginary component. In the imaginary, velocities must necessarily exceed the speed of light, c, as this can only be when in 1/(1-(v**2/c**2))**0.5) v is greater than c. Thus all was created in it's seed as electromagnetic waves, and we know there is nothing in our universe but waves. So when God said "Let there be light" He spoke the Creation from the imaginary into the real. That is He made it cross the line from the imaginary to the real space, as we define it. This could lead one to understand the imaginary as the spirit, and that pervading all of the real. So Jeremiah 23:24 God fills the heaven and earth and John 4:24 God is Spirit. It also explains the "apparent age" of the stars. Some day I'll explain all that...I don't have time right now, especially with so many necessary symbols so arbitrarily and unnecessarily prohibited. |
