Genesis Chapter 1:
Now, I know that I have opened up a whole lot of questions about the man in the first chapter of Genesis. But his identity will become perfectly clear...(one brother put it this way), "When we see the dream of God."
I call it the prophecy of the God (Elohiym) and his complete body perfected in the earth.
Let's look at Genesis 1:1:
IN = Notice that if we are talking about an event at the beginning of time, the term "in" is not used properly. If the passage is about such an event it would be at, not in. If the meeting started at 4pm, I wouldn't say be there in 4pm. Maybe it's not talking about the first moment of physical creation. Let's look at the next few words:
THE BEGINNING = The words "the beginning" mean "the firstfruit or principle thing." The Hebrews knew this word as "the beginning of sacrifice." We know it to be a type of Christ (the firstfruit - I Cor. 15:23) who is the principle theme of the new testament. Col. 1:18 says the (son of God) is the beginning. In Rev. 1:8 Jesus says, "I am the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. Rev. 3:14 unveils the truth that he was the beginning alright, but of what beginning? It says he was the beginning of "the creation of God," not man. Rev. 22:13 states, "I am alpha and omega (first and last letter of the Greek alphabet), the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Not the first adam, which was of the earth (dust) earthy (Gen. 2:7), but the first of a new creation. The second Adam produces the Lord of heaven (Gen. 5:1) the beginning (firstfruit and the summation) of the creation of Elohiym and in the end it is this man who will stand in the image and likeness of Elohiym, and take his authority over the earth. Adam the generations (lineage) of the "son of God (elohiym)" (Gen. 5:1), was not a type of the first earthy formation as we were taught but he was the creation which leads to Christ. He was the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every (new) creature (Col. 1:15). I was always taught that Genesis chapter one was the creation of the first MAN, a son of God called ADAM, a perfect and sinless man who fell from perfection. Now I see that only the son of God, who is the beginning of us all, could create (to bring down) a man as a new creation. One who is in relationship with his father, which art in heaven making man red, yellow, black and white - all perfect in God's sight.
We are the church of the firstborn, Hebrews 12:23. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form (image and likeness) of God, thought it not robbery to be EQUAL with God, Phil. 2:5.
Paul said, that "we have the mind of Christ," I Cor. 2:16, and that we are to be conformed (fashioned like unto, similar) to his image, (Christ, THE FIRSTBORN among MANY BRETHREN) Rom. 8:29. We are a new creature (creation) 2 Cor. 5:17, Gal. 6:15, and all of this happens at the coming (which is the REVELATION or UNVEILING) of Christ. Jesus never was of this earth and neither are you if the seed of Christ is in you. John called Jesus, the Word (prophecy) that was in the beginning, it was God and that which was spoken was now made Flesh and dwelling among us. John 1:1, John had the revelation that the word was now living in the earth. The word was now speaking and Gen.1 was now beginning. Luke counted back 4 days, 4000 years to Adam and knew, by record, that the Spirit of God would come in the 5th day (0-1000 AD, pentecost, pente means 5). The creation of the man - child in the 6th (1001-2000 AD) and the manifestation of the perfected son in the 7th (2001-3000 AD). Look at the chart - Appendix A: They (traditional christian teachers) have a chart, you know, of when the rapture is going to take place, etc. So I wanted a chart, too. See the time of the forming, it could have taken thousands of years just to become a living soul. This chapter is then about the word; the one made into flesh, the beginning of a new species called the "sons of God" (John 1). We have a new name with him and it is "the word of God." (Rev. 19:13)
GOD = Hebrew 430 (elohiym, plural of 433, gods in the ordinary sense, but specifically used in the plural), CHRIST as "The Son of God" not excluding the many members of his body. This word is used in the creation of the seven days but not again until chapter 5:1 (the 2nd set of generations, Adam).
CREATED = To create, [cut down (a wood), select, feed (as formative processes), choose, make (fat), dispatch (down), thus sent down]. SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED!
THE HEAVENS = Rev. 2:1 ABODE OF GOD IN YOUR MIND
AND EARTH = Rev. 21:1 THE HABITATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR PHYSICAL BODY. "Ye are the temple."
Gen.1:2: The old earth was (had become) without form and void (tohu va bohu) already and darkness covered the minds of men and the spirit of Elohiym superimposed truth where ignorance once ruled. LET THERE BE LIGHT!!! God transforms everything, making everything new. The old are passed away, behold all things are becoming new, Rev. 21:5. New Jerusalem descends to earth, Heb. 12:22, Rev. 3:12, Rev. 21:2. My interpretation of this passage is as follows: IN THE FIRSTBORN OF ELOHIYM A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH ARE SENT DOWN. THE FIRST EARTH WAS WITHOUT GOD'S IMAGE AND VOID OF THE SONS OF GOD IN HIS LIKENESS. IGNORANCE RULED THE MINDS OF THE MASSES BUT THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH BROUGHT LIGHT AND DISPELLED THE DARKNESS. Look at the rest of chapter 1 with a new understanding. Understand the darkness as the ignorance of men under the law of the priests. Now see the light of Christ slowly coming forth. The water of the word as it washes away the law from the heads of the judges. The land made solid to prepare a way for words of the prophets. Now see the righteous Kings as trees of righteousness. The Holy Spirit covering the earth as did the waters. Now go on to verse 26 and watch as Elohiym creates man whose face is the image and likeness of God. NOW SEE YOURSELVES AS THE SONS OF GOD IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD. Gen 2:1, NOT ONLY THE HEAVEN AND EARTH ARE COMPLETED ON THE SEVENTH DAY BUT SO ARE THE HOST OF THEM. (YOU!) ENTER INTO HIS REST AND BE BLESSED.
