March 3rd - The Beginning of Age Two: The Restoration of the Earth - Genesis 1:2 - 2:9

Age two began with the Father and Son, the Elohim, restoring the earth to its original perfection over a six day period of time. 

"And the spirit of Elohim was vibrating over the surface of the waters.  And Elohim said:  Let light come to be! And light came to be.  Elohim saw the light that it was good.  Then Elohim separated the light from the darkness.  And Elohim called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night.  And evening came to be, and morning came to be: day one."  (Genesis 1:2-5)

"And Elohim saw all that He had made; and behold, it was very good. And the evening came to be, and morning came to be: the sixth day." (Genesis 1:31)

During the first next five days Elohim adjusted the atmosphere around earth so that the sun, moon, stars and planets could be seen from earth. He also separated the seas from the land and caused all plant life to spring up from the earth which indicates the seed was already in the earth.  He then created fish and birds and large animals that live in the ocean.  On the sixth day he created Adam and Eve, the first human beings to have dominion over the restored Earth.

"And Elohim said:  Let the earth bring forth the living soul, each according to its kind: domestic beast, creeper and land animal, each according to its kind.  And it came to be so...And Elohim said: Let Us make humanity in Our image and according to our likeness.  Let them hold sway over the fish of the sea and over the flyer of the heavens, over the domestic beast, over every land animal and over every creeper that is creeping on the earth.  So Elohim created humanity in His image; in the image of Elohim He created it: male and female He created them." (Genesis 1:24-27)

Humanity was originally given vegetables and fruit for their food. All the other animals were given other plants as their food. When Elohim looked at all that was made it was very good. Then the Father and Son stopped from their work and the next day, the seventh day, has come to be known as the Sabbath (a day of stopping from work).

"On the sixth day Elohim finished His work that He had made; and He ceased on the seventh day from all His work that He had made.  And Elohim blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, for in it He ceased from all His work that Elohim had created by making it." (Genesis 2:2-3) 

"For in six days Yahweh dealt with the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and He stopped on the seventh day.  Therefore, Yahweh blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it." (Exodus 20:10-11)

Humanity started with one person, Adam, who became a living soul when Yahweh Elohim formed his body from the soil of the earth and breathed life into him. The formal name of the Elohim is Yahweh which most English translations render LORD. The term "Yahweh Elohim" refers to both the Father and Son. When Yahweh is used without Elohim I think it generally is referring to the Son, the reincarnate Jesus.

"Yahweh Elohim formed the human out of soil from the ground, and He blew into his nostrils the breath of life; and the human became a living soul." (Genesis 2:7)

"Yahweh Elohim planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there He put the human whom He had formed...with the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and also the tree of the knowledge of good and evil...Then Yahweh Elohim took the human and settled him in the garden of Eden to serve it and to keep it." (Genesis 2:8-9)

After that, He made a female for Adam from a part of Adam's body.

"Then Yahweh Elohim caused stupor to fall on the human. While he was sleeping, He took one of his angular organs and closed up the flesh over its place.  Yahweh Elohim built the angular organ that He had taken from the human into a women and brought her to the human ... This shall be called woman, for this was taken from her man." (Genesis 2:21-23)

The beginning of biblical time starts with the day Adam was created. The evening and the morning is one biblical day. A biblical year is the number of evenings and mornings it takes for the Earth to travel around the sun. It is my view that humanity, in its present mortal state, will be allowed to have dominion over the present Earth for six thousand biblical years - and it is obvious to me that we have to date failed miserably in that role.

December 23rd - Merry Christmas Israel!
