#5 The transition from day one to day two.

The LIGHT of day one has revealed chaos and it also has given us hints about this new set of seven. As I showed earlier, the Genesis writer’s use of “Echad” gives us some indication that day one has in it all the elements, or has unity with the six to come.

With this in mind, we watch day one intently for clues about the six to come. As evening comes and the beginning of day two approaches we need to prepare ourselves for the natural feeling that we are headed back to the chaos in the dark of Genesis 1:2. There is simply no sign in the natural elements that give you any hope of improvement.

Indeed as I pointed out last week even the full and complete work of day two has no hopeful signs in it for a natural observer, unless they are aware of the revealed, which in the case of day two, is that there will be space for life created a-midst the chaos of water above and chaos of water below.

This is a good time to point out few fundamentals, you may have noticed the words on the sunflower at the header of this Google plus community. Those words come from Deuteronomy 29:29.

 “The secret things belong to YHWH our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may observe all the words of this instruction.”

Certainly science and academics, in its study of the natural world, has done wonders for mankind, increasing our life spans, improving our health but one has to wonder, if certain things are not hidden from the observer of nature. Keep this thought in mind as we move along, commenting on these segments of seven and the transitions.

The instruction to work will be there when the natural feeling will be that, it is useless, and the temptation to work will be there when the instruction to rest is given.

So what is asked of us on day one and day two is that with steady faith, we work for improvement of the current condition without regard for how we feel. This is a moment when we need to be looking for even the slightest hint or direction from either the light of day one or an opening of space in day two.

Being prepared for day one and day two is crucial, resource wise, but also emotionally, as few others will see what you are seeing, observers of nature will see and feel only chaos on day one and two. Meanwhile we will be putting forth effort and resources toward faithfully improving the barely discernible path.
