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.
Symbols
- Water - the Word of God and it's results: His people 'creation י finished by the Son ם'.
- 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.
