Genesis 2 = The Seventh Day

The Sabbath is established on the seventh day:


Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.


This is tricky. After three verses of 7th day, we go back to the sixth day,
as a reflection. Man was created on the sixth day.

First day- God creates light.
Our mortal interpretation suggests that the first day
began at sunrise, but, it's the opposite.

The measure of a day, in Genesis, is from
night to day, not day to night.

Second Day- The heavenly skies,
the oceans and land began.

There's wiggle room for a version of
the "Big Bang" in this, too...
Even Darwin suggests that we started
in the sea. The Bible is in agreement.
The Sea proceded the land, and man.

Third Day - Grass and all flora.

Fourth Day- The Sun and moon.
I know this is challenging, but, this
is the order of creation, as spoken to
Moses, and communicated through
the writer of Genesis, whether Moses
or Joshua.

This is important, because the sun and
moon were given on the "fourth day"
for signs. Signs of what? Of 24 hour
days, and a new sense of "TIME."

Before the fourth day, each day was
most likely without our sense of time,
but, in the laboratory of God's realm.
Not to wax too sci-fi, but, this is how
the Bible begins, literally.

Fifth day- Life begins, first the creatures
of the air and of the sea, including and specifically
mentioning the mammals, the Whales!
This fits in somewhat with Evolution, if you
want it too.

We have enough scientific evidence to
know that all living creatures share the same
carbon bonds, peptide chains, and essential
physiology to the environment.

Are we evolved? No, not in my mind. We
are created from the same building blocks,
or dirt, soil, clay. We are different because
we were created in God's image.

Sixth Day- God creates the creatures of the
land masses. Man is created in this day, as well.
This again, fits in with Darwin, for those who
can't live without evolution.


Seventh Day is HOLY because it is the day
of rest. It's the first Sabbath. That's why
it is sanctified.


Gen 2:4 These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
Gen 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and [there was] not a man to till the ground.
Gen 2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.


Like a rain forest.


Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.


We are built from the same building blocks
as the other living things, but, when the
breath of God is given, it is life that
we are given.

God's breath, or Ruwach Elohiym is
the introduction to the Holy Spirit,
as well as physical existence.

Gen 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

This is a tender passage. The Creator, plants a garden.
It is work to tend to a creation. This is what he did.
He created paradise for man, here on this planet.
Have we taken care of it? Have we tended to the
animals? Have we not only cared about our own
pleasures and pocketbooks. If the love of money
is the root of all evil, then, evil has finally taken
it's toll on Planet Earth.

That's why what is called Armegeddon is beginning,
and is blatantly obvious. For all our other sins,
we've destroyed creatures, and poisoned the
planet.

Gen 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.


The tree of knowledge of good and evil. The forbidden fruit.

What is this? It is easy if we look at this as metaphor, but,
we can't, because it was real. It is real.



Gen 2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

Four parts, four heads.
First- Pison goes around the land
of Havilah, (where there is gold,
and precious stones.)
Second- Gihon- surrounding
Ethiopia
Third- Hiddekel- east to Assyria
Fourth- Euphrates- Babylon


Gen 2:11 The name of the first [is] Pison: that [is] it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where [there is] gold;
Gen 2:12 And the gold of that land [is] good: there [is] bdellium and the onyx stone.
Gen 2:13 And the name of the second river [is] Gihon: the same [is] it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
Gen 2:14 And the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel: that [is] it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river [is] Euphrates.

It's important to regard that after man was created,
God put him in Paradise to maintain it for him.
He was a bondsman, or farmer, so to speak.

Gen 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.


Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Every tree was given for fruit, and Adam's diet was
given as strict vegetarian. There is no room for
misinterpretting the original diet, of the original
man.

Gen 2:18 And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

Gen 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof.


Gen 2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

Gen 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

He was cloned. That's what is being said.

Gen 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

Gen 2:23 And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Gen 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

The Angels are neither male or female, even though we
like to depict them as cutesy cherubic babies, and
supermodel babes with wings.

The Angels are magnificent, with the beauty of
God, but, are andogenous, by design. The design
of humans and other life on Earth was sexual,
by design.

That's why the corporate Godhead says,
"We will make man in our image."
That's why male and female are likened
to Hashm. Together, we are indeed a
unique creation from the angels.

It's not hard to then realize that
some of the Angels weren't pleased
with this new design. We possess
very little information on the War
in Heaven, the literal Star Wars,
but, we can recognize signs of them,
in today's events, which mirror the
prophetetic visions.

Sexuality was deliberately incorporated
into the perfect creation, in mankind,
and the animals. But, sexuality is
also the path to perdition for some,
who change sacred purposes of this
very unique act, from a heavenly
perspective.

Angels do not procreate, at least
before man was made, they didn't.

Genesis tells us of the fallen angels
who had sex with the daughters
of Adam's descendents. This
was a horrific thing, from all
perspectives. This led to the
2nd Fall, which was even evident
after the flood, where a giant race
dwelled in 1000 BC, during David's
lifetime.

Right now, though, I'm rambling on.
Forgive my SOAPY ramblings. It's
just that it gets so deep, every time
I go back to the beginning.

I believe each time, it's still only
scratching the surface!
