This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that I, Ya'hoveh Elohim made the heavens and the earth (Gen. 2:4). In its beginning the earth was without form, and void. There was nothing there; only spiritual darkness pervaded the face of the deep. And My Spirit was hovering, (or brooding) over the face of the (spiritual) water.
For by Me, Yah'shua Elohim, all things were created that are in the heavens and on the earth, visible and invisible. All things were created through Me and for Me, as it was the Father's (Ya'hoveh Elohim) good pleasure that all the fullness or completeness be summed up through Me. For I was before all things, and in Me all things consist (Col.1:16-17). I was with My Father from the beginning, for the Father and I are one in the Elohim, and I was made manifest in order that the invisible Elohim might be seen. I proceeded out of the mouth of the Elohim, as the Word for I was the Word and the Word was Elohim (John 1:1-3).
The first manifestation of My reality came when Elohim spoke, "Let there be Light" (Gen. 1:3). This was not physical light from nature's sun, for it had not yet been created. This was the Light of Life, a spiritual Light that would become the light of men (John 1:4). For in Me is the fountain of life. In My light you will see light (Psalms 36:9). "I am the Light of the world. He who comes to Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the Light of life" (John 8:12). This Light is the glory of My nature, which is love, for if you have love for your brother you are truly abiding in My light (1 John 2:10). Thus you see that from the beginning the Father and I are one, for in Light you see Light, and this Light is one.
This is why when it was said about this Light "it was good", in it was seen the nature of the Father, Ya'hoveh, for His very nature is love and it is good (1 John 4:7, Mark 10:18). For I have come from My Father to be revealed in that, which has been created, especially in the crown of creation - man. This being so, that you may be able to comprehend with all the true believers what is the width and length and depth and height of the Father's nature; so that you may know the love of Messiah which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of Elohim (Eph. 3:18-19).
Now, according to this divine design, I drew a circular horizon on the face of the varying densities of the spiritual waters, and divided the water of Light and Life from the water of Darkness (or absence of life). I called this mid-heaven the firmament, as it became the boundary of these waters (Job 26:10). The realm of Light, above the firmament, I called "good" and the eternal Day, for there is no Night or darkness in it. But the realm of spiritual darkness, which was under the firmament, I called Night. However, it was not eternal, but was subject to the passing of time, and would ultimately be absorbed into the realm of Light and disappear.
I separated the Light from darkness, as I needed the medium of darkness to reveal the true nature of Light. You have this very witness all around you at all times. For if you shut out all natural light you cannot see anything, only blackness, but when you kindle light you see its reflected hues. As the light increases in intensity, moving from glory to glory, its nature becomes clearer and more defined, until there is only light. This is why I have told you to walk in the Light, even as I am in the Light (1 John 1:7), that you may also appear, or be unveiled with me in the glory of My light (Col.3:4). So you see, right from the beginning I set in order the process of revelation; each day of creation reveals more of My eternally divine nature! Indeed, Paul the apostle wrote of My invisible nature, which is clearly seen and understood by the things that are made. My eternal power is in and through the Elohim (Rom 1:19-20).
On each successive day of creation, "there was an evening and a morning." Evening (erev) and morning (boker) do not necessarily mean two twelve hour periods, ages or epochs, but are a condition of the mixing of light and darkness. This is something which humanity has been awed by from the beginning. Even to this very day, people will travel thousands of miles or climb mountains and traverse the deserts, just to get a glimpse of the beauty of a sunrise or a sunset. The word "erev" portrays a beautiful blend of interesting words, such as: mixture, interwoven, take a pledge, exchange, have fellowship, sweet, pleasant, arid, desert, a plateau, steppe, sunset, and westward. Each "Day" of the creation process was, therefore, a sequence of revelations of the Elohim. The beginning of each unveiling (erev) was like the blending, or mixing of the hues and colors of the sunset. However, each successive dawn revealed more glory, power and magnificence, until the final image and revelation-glory of the Elohim would be seen in the crown of His creation - Adam - man.
The meanings of the word for morning, "boker", like "erev", can speak of conditions or interactions between light and darkness, for example: split, penetrate, rip, divide, reflect, inquire, seek, visit, consider. "Boker" brings with it the joy of the end of the darkness, and the full expression of the light. The beauty of the relationships found in the Elohim is now unveiled, ripped, split, and penetrated into, displaying its exact hue of glory, which is to be reflected in that which has been created through the "Word".
The appearing of the Morning Star is the first sign of the coming Day; it precedes the dawn and heralds the light of morning. Yah'shua came to this earth as the bright Morning Star (see 2 Pet.1:19; Rev. 22:16), Who would arise in the hearts of men through faith in the redemptive work of His sacrifice. But after He was taken to glory, He became the light and glory of the New Creation Day. You, who have received His Spirit, now have this Light and Life in you. The first rays of His dawning are beginning to penetrate, split, rip open the veils of darkness that gripped your earth during the night. There is a smooth transition of the dawning, as every successive ray of glory brings with it clarity, certainty, finality of the finished or full revelation of the Elohim, until the light becomes constant, no longer mixed or changing. But rather stabilizing, into that exact reflection of the divine nature, where there are "no shifting shadows" (James 1:17).
