pretty cool if your interested
rocky:
Whether creation happened physically in 7 days, I agree is not the point. To me all of Genesis (first chapters especially) are some how representative of salvation of all (beginning to end)
I read and have so many questions that I don't understand. Here is just a few:
I find interesting that in verse one we read:
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Then the rest of the chapter goes into the remaining days of creation, yet at the start of chapter 2 we read
Gen 2:1 And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
I think there is so much symbolism in Genesis early chapters, it would blow our minds if we could understand.
Just as in verse 2, the earth was waste and void, and then light came.
??light of the world? Jesus
Light verses dark; life/death, law/grace, Day/Night???
Land/earth and Sea (??called and rest of all mankind???), heavens ??? chosen??
herb yielding seeds, they'll know us by our fruits and those not chosen by their fruits (fruits only come from seed bearing plants) ???
Beasts of the earth?, our carnal nature a beast??
7th day of rest, Christ is our rest
After eating of the forbidden fruit, there eyes and ears were opened fo their nakedness and they heard God in the garden?? the law leads us to Christ, ears to hear, eyes to see our nakedness???
Being made in His image, once know good and evil;
Gen 3:22 And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever-
If anyone has been given eyes to see a lot of the symbolism/similitudes in Genesis 1-6, I would love to listen.
thanks.
rocky:
Gen 6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
Interesting that this same word pitch is used extensively throughout the old testament as atonement.
pitch=blood of Christ????

Heb 11:7
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
1Pe 3:20
Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein * * few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
2Pe 2:5
And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

Ever wonder why with the story of Noah, there was no restoration/reconciliation of those destroyed? It appears it is a story of once destroyed, then destroyed.
Wonder if this is representative, of not man being destroyed; but the carnal nature will be destroyed. Are the waters that destroyed representative of the lake of fire, and mankind destroyed in the flood is representative of our carnal nature that will forever be destroyed.
