Creation, Gravity and the Forth Day

 

Revelation of the seven days of Creation, introduced in Gen 1:31 thru Gen 2:3, is the core purpose for the Word of God, as related in the Holy Bible now at hand. If one reads the text with a modernist-grammatical understanding, they may see how the prophets of old reveal those days in a way that is relevant to the 21st Century.

The entire Bible relates a detailed history the first six days with prophetic look at all seven. The story begins in Gen 2:4, at the beginning of the first day and ends in Rev 22:21, at the time for the beginning of the seventh day.

Regarding the fourth day, today, the steps taken to make the Universe come into play are given in Gen 1:14 through Gen 1:18. The following hypothesis gives a modern way to look at those steps that is consistent with a scientific awareness of the earth having a message from God about the gospel of Christ.

 
God begins the fourth day of the Creation making our Universe and then bringing it into play, Gen 1:14-19. But gravity does not fit well with the other fundamental forces of nature, and there is reason to believe that special considerations were given it when God brought forth the reality in which we live.

For example, in Genesis 1:14 Scripture relates that God designed this dimension with lights defining two conditions, and four functions. “And God said, ‘let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the [1] day from the [2] night; and let them be for {1} signs, and for {2} seasons, and for {3} days, and {4} years’" The ultimate goal here is defined in Genesis 1:15; “to let them be lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth”. Notice at this stage of the game, the stars are not mentioned and it is the stars that can be understood to represent gravity, an important part of this reality, but not in a way that would need mentioning in God’s Word.


However, all is flat with the unmitigated force of gravity. This characteristic of the force of gravity may relate to the darkness upon the face of the deep, as related in Gen 1:2). In order to give light upon the earth, the properties of this function must be included, but at a far lesser capacity. Therefore when God made the two lights, each with a function to perform and he also made the stars. The “stars” could be the designation for gravity, which at this stage can be easily controlled because of the hypothetical nature of this step in the process. So “God made two great lights, [1] the greater light to rule the day, and [2] the lesser light to rule the night: and he made [3] the stars also”.

In Genesis 1:17, he sets them into the firmament of the heaven (possible the result of “the Big Bang”) “to give light upon the earth”. The stars, gravity is now in accordance with the lights, from the previous step and do not need further mention in this step. Therefore the end product can now be completed having two lights and four fundamental forces, as specified in Gen 1:14, the process is finished in Gen 1:17-18, “And God set them into the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, and (the greater light [1]) to rule {1} over the day and {2} over the night, and (the lesser light [2]) to divide {3} the light from {4} the darkness: and God saw that it was good.” Therefore gravity is prevalent in the world today according to the original conception; and there are lights in the firmament of the heaven and they give light upon the earth.
