Days '1' Through '14' of This Earth Age

Gen 1:1-5
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. (KJV)

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

When did HE create heaven and earth?

In the beginning....HE created the heaven.
The word translated to the English as heaven is from the
Hebrew word shamayim.

8064 shamayim (shaw-mah'-yim);
dual of an unused singular shameh (shaw-meh');
from an unused root meaning to be lofty;
the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch
in which the clouds move,
as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve):
KJV-- air, X astrologer, heaven (-s).

Please take notice that this speaks of both the atmosphere, that is commonly referred to as the sky, which surrounds the Earth, and, also, the higher ethereal plane or dimension, commonly referred to as Heaven. This ethereal plane called Heaven also included all the souls FATHER created who resided within this dimensional realm.

And, HE created the planet Earth and all the things HE had chosen to be placed upon the Earth in the first age.

"And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep."

In the Hebrew "the earth was without form, and void" means 'the earth's surface became desolated and emptied of all that had been '.

The word was is from the Hebrew hayah.
And, it means became.

1961 hayah (haw-yaw);
a primitive root [compare 1933]; to exist, i.e. be or become,
come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary):
KJV-- beacon, X altogether, be (-come), accomplished, committed, like),
break, cause, come (to pass), do, faint, fall, + follow,
happen, X have, last, pertain, quit (oneself-), require, X use.

This is very important to understand.
Otherwise, it negates the first Earth and Ethereal ages if left uncorrected.

The words without form is the Hebrew word tohuw.

8414 tohuw (to'-hoo);
from an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface),
i.e. desert; figuratively, a worthless thing; adverbially, in vain:
KJV-- confusion, empty place, without form, nothing,
(thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.

And, the word void is the Hebrew word bohuw.

922 bohuw (bo'-hoo);
from an unused root (meaning to be empty);
a vacuity, i.e. (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin:
KJV-- emptiness, void.

The words the darkness is choshek from chashak.

from 2821; the dark; hence (literally) darkness;
figuratively, misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness:

'Waters' is one of the words that FATHER has used as an analogy for 'people'.

'Water' is one of the four basic elements of this world,

The word Night is layil.

3915 layil (lah'-yil);

Take notice that the words Day and Night were both capitalized (upper case)
which indicates a proper name or title.

Let us put this all together now. And, let's go a little deeper.
(If this is too deep, put it on the shelf.)

At the very beginning, when there was nothing nor no one except for GOD....
Then, GOD created the ethereal plane of heaven with it's residents (the souls HE created) and the planet Earth with it's physical atmosphere and all the things HE had chosen to place in that earthly dimension.
Then, HE caused all that was on the Earth in the first age to be destroyed, leaving nothing upon the surface. It became void.
There was darkness( wickedness and wrong thinking ) upon the face of the deep.
The deep is the 'water supply': waters are an analogy of people, no matter if they are in the flesh or in the higher ethereal plane of existence.
It is because of this wickedness and wrong-thinking that caused the destruction of the first ages.
Satan rebelled (trying to take GOD'S KINGDOM for himself), and took a third of the souls (waters) to work for him.

Now, we need to note that Heaven was not off floating around somewhere in space.
The dimension or higher ethereal plane co-existed upon the Earth, but was not of the Earthly dimension.
Man was not yet of this earthly flesh nor of these earthly dimensional substances.
We shall be able to see this state of co-existence again when our LORD returns.
During the LORD'S DAY, or millennium (as most call it), Heaven shall be upon and co-existing once again upon the Earth in our sight. There will still be the two separate dimensions, but because we will be in the higher, heavenly dimension, we shall not be bothered by nor hampered by that which is of the earthly dimension.

Point in case: YAHSHUA walked through the wall as if it were not there.
Yet, HE could interact with the disciples who were of the fleshly dimension. (John 20:19-31)

When FATHER caused the destruction of all that had been upon the Earth, HE also ended the co-existing (layered) Heavenly plane. The first Earth age ended, as the second Heavenly dimension was closed off to all but YHVH, and HIS loyal 'Elohiym.
All souls were then separated from any interaction with the Earthly dimension.
When the 2nd Heaven age began.... the earthly realm's perception of Heaven's existence (dimension) was blocked off from it.
As there was darkness, wickedness upon the face of the waters of the deep... FATHER HOLY SPIRIT moved across the face of the waters (souls). (Those who were not 'of' nor 'in' the deep.)
When, the Earth was again ready to begin being replenished, FATHER created the LIGHT which again brought happiness, correctness, and a GODLY ORDER to the Earth again.
How can the Earth be made happy? Nature in it's pure clean intended state is happiness to the Earth. The natural order was refreshed, made clean.
Today, the Earth groans to be brought back to it's pure and natural state.

Then, HE divided the light (Day), that which is good ... from that which is of darkness (Night) which is wicked, evil.
FATHER divided the souls accordingly. ( A third tried to keep one foot in the light and one in the dark.)

That was the first Day...the first 1000 years of this 2nd Earth age, and that which occurred during that expanse of time in the 2nd Heaven age.
('Time' is not calculated the same in the Heavenly dimension as it is calculated on Earth.)

Gen 1:6-8
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters,
and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament
from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. (KJV)

The word firmament is from the Hebrew word raqiya` from the prime raqa`.

7549 raqiya` (raw-kee'-ah);
from 7554; properly, an expanse,
i.e. the firmament or (apparently) visible arch of the sky:

KJV-- among (-st), X between, half, X (therewhere-), in (-to), middle, mid [-night], midst (among), X out (of), X
through, X with (-in).

The word waters is from mayim.

4325 mayim (mah'-yim);
dual of a primitive noun (but used in a singular sense); water; figuratively, juice; by euphemism, urine, semen:
KJV-- + piss, wasting, water (-ing, [-course, -flood, -spring]).

The word divide is from badal.

914 badal (baw-dal');
a primitive root; to divide (in variation senses literally or figuratively, separate, distinguish, differ, select, etc.):
KJV-- (make, put) difference, divide (asunder), (make) separate (self, -ation), sever (out), X utterly.

And, the word from is the Hebrew word beyn.

996 beyn (bane) (sometimes in the plural masculine or feminine);
properly, the constructive form of an otherwise unused noun from 995; a distinction; but used only as a prep, between (repeated before each noun, often with other particles); also as a conjunction, either ... or:
KJV-- among, asunder, at, between (-twixt ... and), + from (the widest), X in, out of, whether (it be ... or), within.

Literally AND physically upon the earth, FATHER fashioned an atmosphere around the Earth that we commonly refer to as the sky. This atmosphere contains water (H2O) in mostly a gaseous state.
In the 2nd day (2nd 1000 year period) of this Earth age, there was this firmament that kept the Earth filtered from receiving any harmful radiation and/or other such effects, from the sun.
This was most probably about the same as the firmament of the 1st Earth age.
From this firmament, there would be a dew that would fall upon the Earth daily.
We can see that it did not rain on the Earth yet at this time. "Rain" would not fall until the specified time in this earth age.

Gen 2:5
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. (KJV)

This firmament was in the midst of the waters. It separated the waters that were under the firmament from the waters that were above the firmament. .

Physically, the waters that were under the firmament would be any body of water that was physically upon or in the earth: rivers, lakes, oceans, seas, including underground water sources.

What, though, are these waters that would have been above the firmament?
I don't know. Perhaps, it is speaking of water that physically was upon other planets?

Let's look at the spiritual aspect of this.
Waters are people (souls) whether they are in the flesh or of the heavenly dimensional body substance.
This firmament would then be that which was fashioned and utilized by our FATHER to keep the residents of Heaven separated from those who would later be in the flesh, earthly dimension. HE called this firmament Heaven.
The word Heaven is capitalized denoting a proper name.

Gen 1:9-13
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. (KJV)

The words the dry ground are the Hebrew word yabbashah.

from 3001; dry ground:
KJV-- dry (ground, land).

a primitive root; to be ashamed, confused or disappointed;
also (as failing) to dry up (as water) or wither (as herbage):
-be ashamed, clean, be confounded, (make) dry (up),
(do) shame (-fully), X utterly, wither (away).

In the physical, earthly plane, we can see that FATHER caused the bodies of H2O to be grouped together, while the land was dry and separated from the H2O.

Let's look at the spiritual.
First, we know that there are 3 Heaven ages and there are 3 corresponding Earth ages.

FATHER is placing that which is 'of this Earth' age into the Earth at this time in day 3 (the 3rd 1000 year period).
But, there is also the corresponding Heaven age ...2nd Heaven age that is being 'filled'.

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Gen 1:1

Not only was FATHER creating and filling (refilling) this 2nd Earth dimensional plane, but HE was also creating and filling (refilling) the 2nd Heaven realm.
All souls were placed into the 2nd Heaven from which each who chose to be born innocent in the flesh would then be placed by our FATHER into the embryo at the time of conception at the predetermined time which FATHER would have each come through in the flesh.

"Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so."

What do we see happening in this verse above?
Let the waters (people, but not necessarily flesh) under (depressed, made lower) [below the 1st Heaven] be gathered together (bound, waiting, patiently).

On the Earth, though, we can see the dry land appear.
Flesh man had not yet been placed in the 2nd Earth age.
But, they awaited patiently in the 2nd Heaven, to be born in the flesh (2nd Earth).

What is dry land?

3004 yabbashah (yab-baw-shaw');
from 3001; dry ground:
KJV-- dry (ground, land).
3001 yabesh (yaw-bashe');
a primitive root; to be ashamed, confused or disappointed;
also (as failing) to dry up (as water) or wither (as herbage):
-be ashamed, clean, be confounded, (make) dry (up),
(do) shame (-fully), X utterly, wither (away).

"And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good."

We need to keep in mind that it had not yet rained upon the Earth.
Were there earthly dimensional bodies of water (H20) created upon the Earth which were separated from that which was called dry ground?
Yes, HE was preparing the Earth to be able to accommodate the plant-life and animal-life that shall live either on dry land or in the water. Just as HE prepared the souls, residing in the 2nd Heaven, to be able to be born in the flesh.

FATHER separated those who would come through Earth as female from those who would come through as male.
We can see the documentation for this in Genesis 6, with the angels who left their habitation in the 2nd Heaven. These specific angels were male, and had the ability to impregnate a flesh woman.
But, it took the female flesh womb to produce an offspring that was able to function in the flesh world.

The ground was dry, meaning that there was not a soul with a GODLY driven intellect/spirit as yet residing in the 2nd Earth Age.

"And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so."

FATHER is setting a precedence here.
HE is showing the natural order of life.
Each kind should yield seed...kind after kind.

In this HE shows us nature and sets a pattern for man to live by.
When you look at the Garden east of Eden, FATHER did not want a mixing of that which was good with at which was not of HIM, nor physical mixing of two different dimensional bodies. HE had separated them.
But, after Eve and Adam partook of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Satan, mixing two different kinds, earthly flesh and the heavenly dimensional substance, it caused Adam and Eve to become 'polluted'.
They did not stay 'kind after kind', when Eve produced a gibbor, Cain.
And, after Adam knew his wife, she also, at the same time of delivering Cain, she brought forth Abel who was 'kind after kind'.

There is much more to the analogies FATHER uses with grass, fruit, etc, throughout HIS Word. I encourage each to look up these analogies in HIS Word. And, you may get a deeper understanding of this.

"And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good."
Everything which FATHER created that followed the natural order was called "good" by HIM.
But what of that which does not follow HIS natural order?

"And the evening and the morning were the third day."
Again, this is 3000 years of this Earth age.
And, again, note the evening comes before the morning.
That is how FATHER calculated a day for us.
Of course, man messed up that simple sequence, also, having their calculation for a day to begin at midnight, in the middle of the darkness.
Who do you think influenced that?

Gen 1:14-19
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:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

"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:"

The words Let there be are emphatic...a commandment.

The word lights is ma'owr. Note also that this leads us to 'ab .

Now, don't just glance over this 4th day.
YAHOVAH commanded that there be lights be in the firmament to divide day and night.
When we look at the meaning of the word lights we see that it does lead us to the word ab which means father.
The FATHER of the Day is YAHOVAH.
The father of the Night is Satan.

Originally, FATHER separated the Day and Night in day 1.
Now, in day 4, we can see that HE is emphasizing that separation with the placement of the lights (signs).
Also note that the words the night refer to 'adversary', and 'a twist (away from the light)'.

Then, there is another emphatic command: "let them be" .
FATHER commanded the lights of both day and night be for signs, for seasons, and for years.
FATHER divided them, so let us see if we, too, can 'rightly divide' them.
There are signs in the heaven of the day (light).
And, there are signs of the night (darkness).

What is a solar eclipse?
Is it a sign?
What happens during a solar eclipse?
The 'light' becomes darkened, overshadowed, or hidden.
Has this been spoken of in FATHER'S Word?
What occurs during a lunar eclipse?
Is the lesser light of the moon blocked out, become darkened, overshadowed, or hidden?
What about "once in a blue moon". What is occurring during a 'blue moon'?

Before we complete Day 4, see how many times in FATHER'S Word you can find where HE speaks of these phenomena.

I will start with one spoken of in Matthew:

Matt 24:29-31
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Gen 1:15-19
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Please take note that FATHER set these signs in the firmament, the visible sky.
If HE had set them in the higher Ethereal realm, we in the flesh would not be able to see them.
HE made and then set the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night.
And, HE made stars also.

Let's look at the words the stars. In the Hebrew, these words are hakowkaabiym from kowkab.

3556 kowkab (ko-kawb');
probably from the same as 3522 (in the sense of rolling) or 3554 (in the sense of blazing); a star (as round or as shining);
figuratively, a prince:
KJV-- star ([-gazer]).
3522 Kabbown (kab-bone');
from an unused root meaning to heap up; hilly; Cabon, a place in Palestine: KJV-- Cabbon.
3554 kavah (kaw-vaw');
a primitive root; properly, to prick or penetrate; hence, to blister (as smarting or eating into):
KJV-- burn.
***. kowach. Compare 3581.
3556 kowkab-
a star; used of Messiah, brothers, youth, numerous progeny, personification, God's omniscience (figurative)

The Brown-Driver-Briggs' definition seems to be the easiest to understand, in this case.
"numerous progeny, personification"

The stars are representative of FATHER'S children....good, bad, or indifferent... who reside in the Heavenly realm.

Documentation:
Rev 12:4
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

What about the planets?
Do they represent a particular entity or group?

II Ki 23:5 And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven. (KJV)

As we can see, there were those who looked to the planets in their idolatry, worshipping gods of this planet or that.

As we watch planetary alignments, we can see signs in heaven.
Everything FATHER created has a purpose.

"And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,"

The words to give light is the Hebrew word 'owr.

215 'owr (ore);
a primitive root; to be (causative, make) luminous (literally and metaphorically):
KJV-- X break of day, glorious, kindle, (be, en-, give, show) light (-en, -ened), set on fire, shine.

"and God saw that it was good"
It was 'good' because everything is as HE determined. HE gave the moon, the lesser light (the representation for Satan) for a sign to us...that is good. We can watch these signs in the Heaven for the prophesy HE has provided...that is good.
And, HE has given us these analogies using the Sun, moon, and stars...and this is as HE purposed...this is good.

Gen 1:20-23
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

"above the earth in the open firmament of heaven" is a specific place.
It speaks of the firmament that is open as apposed to the firmament that is closed from the earthly dimension.
So, what we are looking at is the visible earthly sk
