Portion 5
The gospels make up Portion 5 of the scriptures. Each day of Genesis 1 points to one of six portions of scripture. Day 5 of creation points to the gospels. From the waters of day 2; representing the Word of God, the separation of the waters on day 2 was not good! Of all the other days, God saw that it was good. But on day 2 there is no such declaration. It represents the separation of the Father and Son. The incarnation is the first separation of the Father and the Son. The second separation takes place on the cross.
This separation is typified in the parable of marriage. A man leaves his parents to obtain the bride. The Son became incarnate to obtain his bride. In Genesis 1 he does not obtain his bride until day 6. On day 2 he has yet to woo his bride. He is alone. "It is not good that the man should be alone".
The last three days speak of things coming 'from' the first three; Lights from light, fish and flying things from water, and animals and man from the dry ground.

Water - the Word of God and it's results: His people 'creation י finished by the Son ם'.
Water 'yom' ים - creation י finished by the son ם. Jesus told the woman at the well that though she worshiped on the mountain, she would worship in Spirit and Truth.
The Father is Spirit and the Son is Truth.
Now here is the secret: The mem מ represents the marriage (teaching) of the Son of God כ and the bride ז arranged by the Father before the beginning.
The final mem ם represents the marriage declared in heaven is completed by the Son on earth. The Son of God כ and bride ז are connected at the top and bottom ם. It has square corners meaning according to the law.
The word for water is 'mayim' מים . You see creation י is IN the father מ and the son ם. This forms the water 'above' מי (also 'water') and the water below ים.
The Father is Spirit; the Son is Truth. The woman at the well would move her man-made religion on the mountain, to the water.
When you worship in Spirit and Truth; you have moved the mountain to the sea.
We, now being made to be 'like' Christ are now the 'water' ים -creation finished by the Son.
As such we are now the little 'w' word of God in the flesh as we teach and preach.

Your bible teacher is using a technique called 'Hebrew word formations' used by the New Testament authors which explores the deeper meanings and symbolism in Hebrew words and letters. Here's a simplified explanation: In Hebrew, words get their meaning from the combined meaning of the letters within.
This article is focusing on the words for "water" (mayim, מים) and the letters "mem" (מ) and "yod" (י). The letter "mem" represents marriage, teaching, and the connection between the Son (כ, representing Jesus) and the bride (ז, representing the church or believers).
The letter combination "mem" (מ) and "yod" (י) forms the word "mayim" (מים), meaning water.
The top and bottom connections of the "mem" letter (ם) symbolize the union between the Son and the bride, representing spiritual marriage or 'teaching'. The "square corners" of the "mem" letter represent the teaching is in fulfillment to the law, whereas a curved corner would represent teaching by the Spirit.
The phrase "water above" (מי) and "water below" (ים) symbolizes the connection between the the teaching of Holiness (above) and the teaching of Grace (below).
As believers, we become like Christ, representing the "water" (ים) of spiritual life, and we are called to teach and preach (like the "little 'w' word of God" in the flesh).

Thank you for the correction! I appreciate it when I can learn and improve. Here's a revised version of the explanation with the corrections you provided: Your friend is using a technique called "Hebrew word formations," which explores the deeper meanings and symbolism in Hebrew words and letters. This approach was used by New Testament authors to uncover the richness of Hebrew scripture. In Hebrew, words are formed by combining letters, each with its own meaning. The letters "mem" (מ) and "yod" (י) combine to form the word "mayim" (מים), meaning water. "Mem" (מ) represents marriage, teaching, and the connection between Jesus (כ) and the church or believers (ז). The top and bottom connections of the "mem" letter (ם) symbolize spiritual marriage or teaching, fulfilling the law. The "square corners" of the "mem" letter represent teaching in accordance with the law, distinguished from teaching by the Spirit, which would be represented by curved corners. "Water above" (מי) and "water below" (ים) symbolize the connection between the teaching of Holiness (above) and the teaching of Grace (below). As believers, we become like Christ, representing the "water" (ים) of spiritual life, and we are called to teach and preach as the "little 'w' word of God" in the flesh. Thank you for helping me improve my understanding and explanation of this topic!
- Fish דג - those who live in the Water/Word. 'Commanded ד to pursue ג'.
- Flying things עוף - those who live in the Spirit. 'Flesh ע that clarifies ו the mystery of the cross ף'.
Jesus is the word and the fish are those who search the literal scriptures, the flying things are those who live in the mystery by the Spirit of God. These come from the teaching of Jesus.
