2. From the beginning
Before God created anything, there was just God. [1]
He looked for a place to put a universe. There was nothing larger than God. [2] There was no place outside of him to create. He could only put the new things inside of himself.
He opened a pocket within himself and spoke into it. [3] When the heavens and earth were finished; he created his friend. [4] [5]
"Hi Adam, I am God, let me teach holiness and love. I will give you a tree as a symbol of holiness. It is separate and different from other trees. You should not eat from it, just because I am God. I am Holy. I am Love."
Adam not understanding God, would 'declare' his own rules as God had done. He ate the fruit from the tree.
God's name tells us that Adam did not understand God. God's name is Elohim. 'El' means 'God', 'im' means 'his people'. The 'H' sound means they don't understand. God is separated from his people because they don't understand. Each of the letters are symbols with meaning.
Everything... absolutely everything after this is to teach who God is. Through the dietary law, he reveals his nature by showing how to select good teachers.- ↑ Ge 1:1 ¶ In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
- ↑ 1Ki 8:27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?
- ↑ Ge 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
- ↑ Ge 1:26 ¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
- ↑ Re 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God.
