00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:03.879
Welcome to One Minute Through the Bible, episode

00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:07.559
17. I'm Alton Spooner. Thanks for joining me.

00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:10.099
Today I wanna continue going through the first

00:00:10.099 --> 00:00:12.439
chapter of the book of Genesis. That's Genesis

00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:16.359
chapter one, verses five through six. Here in

00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:19.420
chapter five, here in verse five through six,

00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:23.760
here we see God continue on in his series of

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.199
pronouncements, his series of eatings, his series

00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.320
of decrees. He's leading up to the creation of

00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:34.380
man. That is God's by His word in verse five

00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:38.039
and six. He's setting the stage for life. He

00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:42.479
is world building like a playwright or like a

00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:47.420
director. He is building the stage, his stage.

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.219
He is creating the environment, a rich environment.

00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.679
He's putting the world in order. He's writing

00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:59.039
the setting like a fantasy novelist. He's writing

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:03.859
a beautiful setting. He's dividing day from light.

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:08.739
He's composing the day and the night. And Moses

00:01:08.739 --> 00:01:11.500
is communicating in this first chapter of the

00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:14.260
book of the Bible that God named the day and

00:01:14.260 --> 00:01:17.799
the night. That means he has ownership. He's

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.159
the ruler. He's the creator. He's the inventor.

00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:24.260
Day and night belongs to him. And he separated

00:01:24.260 --> 00:01:28.760
the waters. He puts the clouds up into the sky

00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:32.620
above the ocean below, and he holds the water

00:01:32.620 --> 00:01:37.659
up into the clouds until he commands it to come

00:01:37.659 --> 00:01:41.760
down. Moses is forcing the concept in the mind

00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.819
of the audience that God is ruler and inventor

00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:49.200
of it all. He controls the light and the day,

00:01:50.420 --> 00:01:54.579
the darkness and the night. He's the God of the

00:01:54.579 --> 00:01:58.329
deep ocean. He's the God of the blue seas. He's

00:01:58.329 --> 00:02:01.090
the only God you need when you look up into the

00:02:01.090 --> 00:02:04.230
skies. And when like the farmer waiting on rain,

00:02:04.870 --> 00:02:08.009
he know that God has brought the rainfall. Thanks

00:02:08.009 --> 00:02:10.750
for joining me. Come back again for episode 18.

00:02:11.150 --> 00:02:12.449
Have a good day. God bless.
