Bible Note: Dear Jeff, I am coming back to your post on 10.15. 06 The first verse is Isaiah 45;7, 'I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I the LORD do all these things.' The fascinating thing about this verse is that all the verbs are used in Genesis to describe the birth of man. 'Let us make man' (1:27), 'ASAH' to assemble, the work of the builder. 'God created man' (1:26) 'BARA' to cut, separate, the work of the carpenter. 'God formed man' (2:7), 'YATSAR' to mould, the work of the potter. Lets put these understandings into Isaiah 45:7, 'I mould the light, and separate the darkness; I build peace, and separate the evil; I the LORD do all these things.' Makes sense? When we come back to Genesis 1:1 'In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth', we now read how God had to separate the physical from the spiritual. There is a separation, in His ceative p;an thet preceeds reconciliation. Even the first word translated as 'In the beginning. involves a separation. An agricultral term that means a separation of the firstfruit. To do the same with 1:1 we now read, 'to get His fruitage, God has to separate the physical from the spiritual.' That brings me back to the original hypothesis, the plan of God requires alienation before reconciliation. Love you brother, yours and His, Paul. |
