SB WWG The Book of light
Genesis 1 is not only the first account of creation, but as prophetic riddle, it is the table of contents to the rest of scripture. Each day points to one of six other divisions of the Bible. (See Appendix A)
Prior to creation, God dwelt in darkness. [1] Light represents his holiness which has a primary attribute of being separate. He is different from us. He is the creator and we are the creature. He could not express his holiness, since there was nothing to be separate from. God is one.
Once he had created something, by the nature of creation he was separate from it. On day one, God declared "Let there be light" or "I am holy". Isaiah later records the seraphim cry, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts." The seraphim knew that God was three times separated. This is clarified by the four beasts in revelation: "which was, and is, and is to come." He was separate as the Father because he was before creation. He was separate in teh Son as he walked on earth. Although Jesus was God with us, he was separate because of his sinless life. And he is separate as the Spirit even though he dwells inside us. Though we may become so intimate with God as we are co-heirs with Christ, though we are the very body of Christ on earth, we will never be of divine nature.
