Hi Ray-Ray,

I'm not sure where you are going with that, but I personally like Young's Literal translation of that verse:

In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth-- the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness is on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters, and God saith, `Let light be;' and light is. (Gen 1:1-3 YLT)

So we could think that the earth was waste and void in the beginning of the preparing, the earth wasn't created in a finished state. Young's renders the hebrew word bara (H1254) as "preparing". And when God had finished preparing the earth, He made it rain, and then things really got started:

And God blesseth the seventh day, and sanctifieth it, for in it He hath ceased from all His work which God had prepared for making. These are births of the heavens and of the earth in their being prepared, in the day of Jehovah God's making earth and heavens; and no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouteth, for Jehovah God hath not rained upon the earth, and a man there is not to serve the ground. (Gen 2:3-5 YLT)

So, seeing that there was no shrub of the field, and no herb of the field on the seventh day, are we to believe that there were no animals either? They would need something to eat, in those days after they were created, right? Or maybe they were only prepared? Like an idea?

Yet another "fun fact" which adds to the confusion in my mind...

 ??? ;D

God bless you,
Eirik

I was thinking more on the line of symbols here, HEAVEN=JESUS, EARTH =MANKIND ,man was without form and void=not knowing the love of GOD at that time , I,m thinking the days here do not represent 24 hr,s as one day is as a thousand years,an a thousand years is as one day which I believe means completiness, so saying all of this i believe the world could be as old as the scientist claim. so in the scriptures where GOD made this, made that, an this was a day, which means GOD completed that project,probably took year,s between the day,s .what seem,s to help me understand GOD,S word now ,through Ray,s teaching ,I made me a chart with symbols on mankind , and JESUS ,an listed under each one what the bible refers to each as ,thank you JESUS! until the next time peace, Ray-Ray

Gen 1:13  And the evening and the morning were the third day.
 
Gen 1:14  And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

Hello Ray-Ray

Isn't it interesting that the "lights in the firmament" (visible arch of the sky) were not created until the third day? Was the Light that appeared on Day one Christ Himself? This creation in Gen 1:14 is when the physical entities to measure time were created and also to provide physical sustenance or energy to life on earth.

I am looking forward to the next Nashville Conference when I am sure Genesis will be presented in an entirely different "light" than we have been accustomed to.

By the way how was your motorcycle ride back home after Mobile? I enjoyed our fellowship together there in between the presentations by Ray, it was a great lunch we shared with Patrick on Saturday, I enjoyed breaking bread with a couple of biker enthusiasts such as you two. I hope to see you in Nashville next year.

Peace Brother,

Joe

I tell you something that has me thinking an digging ,In the beginning GOD created the (heaven) an verse 3 (light) then later GOD says (heavens) an (lights) now this is some heavy stuff, but I love it , the bible as covers as if it was complete , Joe we will never learn all this before JESUS comes back lol . GOD'S word is so good  I,m glad there is no end to it. about my ride home on the bike, you sure to get to spend a lot of time with GOD , no radio, no talking, just a lot of thinking, hope to see you next year in nashville an a lot,s of other people, peace bro.
