In the first two chapters of the first book of the Bible, God, as the author of the Scriptures, reveals fundamental truths to us. In the prophetic meaning of verses, we are given answers to the most important questions of mankind: “What is the meaning of human life?”, “Why did God create Lucifer?”, “What is the purpose of God in the creation of the world?”
Jesus said to the Jews opposing Him: “For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.” (John 5:46). Indeed, the Author of the Scriptures by the words of Moses tells us about Christ, about events connected with Him, showing in each prototype new details of the future time. And there is no such chapter whose narrative is not related to Him. We will cover the first chapters of Genesis.
In the first chapter, telling about the origin of the world, Scripture actually shows us the story of the creation of a new heaven and a new earth. The history begins in eternity and ends with eternity.
The final creation of God is not man at all, but Christ and the Church - the temple, not made with hands, which is built in the image and likeness of God. In the book of Revelation, he that sat upon the throne in eternity - God. Starting with the third verse, we are shown all the most important stages of the construction of this temple. He is “an holy Temple in the Lord” (Eph.2:21). In the prophetic meaning of verses, everything that happens is subordinated only to this goal. The creation of the Earth, the Sun, the Universe is of secondary importance and is not even mentioned in the first chapter. These “things were created by him, and for him” for a season and time, as something auxiliary. And as soon as the wife, the bride of the Lamb, passes the test, they “shall perish” (Ps.102:26). The dual nature of this world is not compatible with eternity. The world around us tends to chaos, decay, death, and is characterized by an increase in entropy.
The “six days” of creation take a period of time significantly exceeding 7000 years. But on an eternity scale, this is an infinitesimal quantity. We are witnesses to the “fifth day” of creation, the future Millennium will be the “sixth day” of creation. The “Seventh day” is a prototype of eternity. 6000 years have passed since the creation of Adam, and the most important events will occur over the remaining period of time. All creation time is divided into two main periods of time - preparatory work and direct construction. The death of Jesus the Son of God divides them. Each day of creation is a certain stage in the preparation or construction of this Temple, and the time allocated for each such “day” is different.
On the “third day” of creation, life appeared. On the “fourth day” Lucifer was created and the Son of God was born. In the first chapter, the Scripture speaks about this, talking about the creation of two great lights, in the second chapter there is another type, these are two trees in the middle of the garden. The creation of the Moon, the Sun and stars is out of the question; the Scripture uses them as images.
At the beginning of the “fifth day” the Scripture shows us the first born (firstborns) from “living water”, and at the end of this day speaks of a solemn assembly, where God will bless those gathered. At the end of the “sixth day” the construction of the temple not made by hands will be completed. God will bless Christ and the Church. Eternity will come.
The last verse of the first chapter concludes with the words:
“And the evening and the morning were the sixth day” (Gen.1:31)
The “seventh day” of rest is spoken of in the second chapter. The “six days” of creation and the “seventh day” of rest are a prototype of six thousand years and the Millennium.
But the “seventh day” is also a prototype of eternity. The “seventh day” is absent in the first chapter, and not a word is said about it, thus the Scripture shows that after the “sixth day” eternity will come. Moreover, it has no completion, as the previous “days of creation.” The phrase that defines the time to carry out the planned work: “And the evening and the morning were”, does not limit the “seventh day”. The “seventh day”, having no boundary in time, means eternity. But not the eternal rest, but the eternal service.
The second chapter shows the main and final part of the overall picture of the first chapter, its fragment, in which events occur on a time interval of 7000 years, and therefore we can consider them in more detail. The second chapter is a brief figurative content of the entire Scripture: from Genesis to the Revelation of John. Therefore, if we continue reading the 21st chapter of the book of Revelation after the second chapter with, the context will not be broken, we will see the continuation of the history. In chapter 21, the Scripture figuratively shows us the constructed “holy Temple in the Lord” (Eph. 2:21), and in the next chapter 22 we are shown the ministry of Christ and the Church in eternity. This service will never end, it will be like a source of water of life, the waters of which never run dry. John saw “a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.” (Rev. 22: 1).
