Dinner Theater in the Dietary Law
Before God created anything, there was nothing but God. As Father, Son and Holy Ghost in love, there was no one else to be awed.
No heaven of heavens was big enough to hold him inside. So there was no place but in him, a universe to hide.
With a word 'BE!' light which was not just for seeing Said "God is Holy, separate and different!" as he planned our well-being.
He opened a void within himself for all whom he loved.
Before God created anything, there was just God.
He looked for a place to put a universe. But he could not find any place outside of him. There was nothing larger than God, and so there was no space outside of him to create.
He opened a hole or pocket within himself, then spoke into the hole to create all things.
It was time to create his friends.
Imagine I want to make a friend, I have to reach into my pocket and pull him out. "Hi Adam, I'm Bob".
That's silly. But what do you think Adam would say? He doesn't know his name. He is looking at me and he thinks he must be just like me.
"Hi. I am Bob too!"
As silly as this sounds, it is exactly what Adam did with God.
"Hi Adam, I am God." "Hi God, I am God too."
God's name tells us this. His name is Elohim. 'El' means 'God'. 'Im' means water as a picture of his people. The 'H' sound means they don't understand. God is separated from his people because they don't understand.
Everything... absolutely everything after this is to teach us who God is.
