God spoke and created the heavens and the earth - א
Creation א
God created by separating. Even the word 'create' bara ברא means 'separate'. As the diagonal stroke of the aleph is drawn it separates top from bottom and right from left. The two yods represent two aspects of creation;heaven and earth, and grace and holiness.
The word 'heaven' contains metaphor for the Father, Son and Spirit. The Holy trinity was separated from the earth when the heavens were separated from the earth.
The separation of heaven and earth signifies God's holiness. The separation of holiness and grace divides his revelation of himself into two parts. We are incapable of understanding holiness and grace together on our own.
If a criminal goes free, we don't cheer the wonderful grace, but cry that there is no justice. If we are the criminal and don't get to go free, we do not praise the wonderful justice. We whine that there is no mercy. When we mix law and grace, or holiness and love, we mess it up.
But God is both. He is a just God and a merciful God. To reveal that to us, his law is revealed to show us his justice, and the cross is revealed to satisfy that justice while giving us mercy.
Hint: As you run across all the laws against mixing things; seeds, garments, etc. They are all teaching aids for this concept: only Christ can reveal the Father by reconciling Holiness and Love.
