God hasn't spoken in this verse either. Jesus is still in the womb. The earth is formless and void. It's nothing, yet. Just a good idea so far. Let's look at this word Darkness - חֹשֶׁךְ this doesn't just mean dark or evil, it means ignorance, obscurity or distress. If I say that you are in the dark about something. What am I saying? I'm saying that you have no knowledge of the subject. Now let's look at the word תְהֹום (tehom)- Abyss, metaphorically refers to chaos, disorder, or the primordial waters in ancient Hebrew cosmology. It represents the formless void or the chaotic state of the universe before the act of creation. This indicates that God is solving a problem, a chaotic problem. What is this problem? What problem do we all have? Sin. In this verse He is deciding to become The Father. But He has a problem to solve. He's going to create living beings and set them free in a habitat made specifically for them. He knows that they are going to mess up(sin). It's inevitable, you can't expect to have a child, let alone billions of children and not see that they are going to need forgiveness. So, He's hovering over the waters. Meticulously planning this shared victory. He's planning to create you and looking at all your problems in this verse. Looking at every bad decision you and I are going to make. In this verse He is calculating how to solve our problems. What are the "Waters"? To the Hebrew, water represents Scripture itself. All of Torah is described as the Sea. So, in this verse He is writing the Word. He is Authoring Jesus which is all of The Word, Jesus is Scripture. Because as we all know, Jesus is The Word. Again, remember John 1:1. For fun take a look at Revelation 19:13 - He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. To the Hebrew the word son is Ben בֵּן. The name Benjamin in Hebrew is בִּנְיָמִין (Binyamin). It is derived from two words: בֵּן (ben), meaning son, and יָמִין (yamin), meaning right hand. And where does Jesus sit? Next to His Father at His right hand. 240 95הַמָּיִם Total 3766 notice the symmetry 3766-6673 = As in verse 1:1 we see the formula of perfection 37X73=2701. But now it is surrounding two pairs of 6's. The number six is represented by a וְ (vav) to spell out vav it is וְוְ. The vav represents man for one reason, man was created on the sixth day. To bring perfection, which is God's Word into the flesh it will require flesh to give birth to Him. These pairs of 6's represent Adam6 and Eve6 as one pair and Joseph6 and Mary6 as the other. Seth came through Adam and Eve. Noah came through Seth. Shem came through Noah. Abraham came through Shem. Jacob came through Abraham. Judah came through Jacob. David came through Judah. Solomon and Nathan came through David. Joseph came through Solomon and Mary came through Nathan. Without all these people and the family of Israel the protected them we wouldn't have Jesus. We see here in the second verse on the Word that they were all planned out. וְהָאָרֶץ302 הָיְתָה420 תֹּהוּ411 וָבֹהוּ19 וְחֹשֶׁךְ354 עַל-פְּנֵי240 תְהוֹם451 וְרוּחַ220 אֱלֹהִים86 מְרַחֶפֶת928 עַל-פְּנֵי
