Before the creation there was only God
Who was there, as God spoke creation into existence?
[1] Who saw him do it? [2]
Blank page
The blank page, untouched by man, represents God. Imagine it spreads out forever in all directions. [3]
God said that we should not makes images of him. [4] If we form something or cut something, it is made of our hands and cannot represent God. [5] The blank page represents God because it is untouched, or unspoiled by man.
Ok, ok.. the paper or the white board was made by men. But the first writing of Genesis 1 was on tablets, probably of stone. Tradition says that Moses wrote Genesis, but evidence of the 'toledoth' (translated 'these are the generation of') breaks Genesis into smaller stories. P.J. Wiseman demonstrates [6] that the smaller stories were written by eyewitnesses, and the tolodoth identifies the colophon, or signature line. The first record does not mention a man as the author, nor could any man have first-hand knowledge of it. This suggests it was written by the only eyewitness, God himself, on tablets the same way he did with the Ten Commandments for Moses.
It is curious to note that the word for stone in Hebrew is aben which sounds like the word for father ab and the word for son ben, put together. The stone represents God as the Father and Son together.
- The yod י and the vav ו are know as the jot and tittle in the English New Testament and iota and keraia in Greek. They are similar to a noun and a verb, but not exactly. They are metaphors where one primarily speaks of an object and the other of an action.
keraia means horn.
