Welcome to One Minute Through the Bible, episode
17. I'm Alton Spooner. Thanks for joining me.
Today I wanna continue going through the first
chapter of the book of Genesis. That's Genesis
chapter one, verses five through six. Here in
chapter five, here in verse five through six,
here we see God continue on in his series of
pronouncements, his series of eatings, his series
of decrees. He's leading up to the creation of
man. That is God's by His word in verse five
and six. He's setting the stage for life. He
is world building like a playwright or like a
director. He is building the stage, his stage.
He is creating the environment, a rich environment.
He's putting the world in order. He's writing
the setting like a fantasy novelist. He's writing
a beautiful setting. He's dividing day from light.
He's composing the day and the night. And Moses
is communicating in this first chapter of the
book of the Bible that God named the day and
the night. That means he has ownership. He's
the ruler. He's the creator. He's the inventor.
Day and night belongs to him. And he separated
the waters. He puts the clouds up into the sky
above the ocean below, and he holds the water
up into the clouds until he commands it to come
down. Moses is forcing the concept in the mind
of the audience that God is ruler and inventor
of it all. He controls the light and the day,
the darkness and the night. He's the God of the
deep ocean. He's the God of the blue seas. He's
the only God you need when you look up into the
skies. And when like the farmer waiting on rain,
he know that God has brought the rainfall. Thanks
for joining me. Come back again for episode 18.
Have a good day. God bless.
