When God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was 'tohu' and 'bohu', vain and empty. This is the opposite of 'fruitful' and 'multiplying' on the sixth day. Why do we argue about if the six days were 24 hour days or not? Jesus said it all speaks of him. Day 'Yom' means 'creation explained by the completed works of the son. Each day is a picture of how God made that which was vain and empty into that which was fruitful and multiplying. Each day tells us something about Christ.
1. light his holiness
2. Water his word
3. Dry ground his work in Genesis through Malachi
4. Lights from light - he gives us HIS holiness
5. from water/word he makes those who obey in the word (fish) and spirit (birds)
6. from dry ground - from his incarnation, death and resurrection he obtains his bride and they are fruitful and multiplying.

Jesus did not appear in a cloud... the wisemen had to diligently search for him. Are we wiser than wisemen?

The rabbis who studied the scriptures still missed him. They did not search for him. Are we more learned than the rabbis?

Why do we think that casual reading of the Bible, or hearing a few verses from the pulpit are sufficient to know him? Why do we not learn HOW to search in Sunday School, Bible School or seminary?
The letter tov (ืช) is a rosh (ืจ) with new life springing up. This is confirmed in the transformation of the word am
ar (ืืืจ) into amat (ืืืช), meaning truth. Truth is the completed word that gives life.
Need more proof?
When God warned Adam not to eat the fruit or he would die, skeptics protest: "Isn't that extremeโdeath for eating a piece of fruit?" "How could Adam understand death if it didnโt yet exist?"
The Hebrew word for "die" is muth (ืืืช), which, like before, is the completed form of mur (ืืืจ), meaning "exchange." Death is the final exchange that brings life.
God told Adam that on the day he ate, he would surely undergo this final exchange. What happened? Adam did not dieโbut the lamb did, providing him with a garment of skin.
This foreshadowed the ultimate exchange: Christ was made to be sin so that we could be made the righteousness of God. We no longer fear death, for even the word itself reveals that it brings life.
