Mr 1:10
- Mr 1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
When the heavens are opened, what can be seen? The firmament divides the waters above and below. [1] Jesus as the firmament, as the solid thing between the waters of baptism and the waters of heaven, could see both sides.
There were two things between the waters: the firmament, and the Spirit. [2] [3]
When there are two things, they are two aspects of the same thing. The two things between the waters are seen here to be one. The Spirit descended and rested upon him. The Spirit and the firmament are joined.
The Hebrew word for dove is 'Jonah'. One sign of Jonah begins here, and ends in his death and resurrection. [4] A second sign of Jonah starts three days and nights before his resurrection. The two signs are two aspects of the same sign.
