In the ancient world the cosmic seas were populated with large
water creatures. There are many stories about them in other ancient cultures. Whether
antithesis or enemy, they were viewed as threats to order, because they operated
against the ordered system. They were aggressive participants in cosmic wars. But
in this story things are very different. Continue to read at - https://mailchi.mp/663ef2f08c13/day-five-the-creation-of-water-and-flying-creatures-with-a-soul
In
the power structures that had dominated Near Middle Eastern societies for
thousands of years, the lights in the skies were viewed as the gods and goddesses.
They controlled every aspect of human lives and the world around them. Humans
only existed to serve gods! But suddenly Elohim changed all of that! Continue

There
is a huge “shoreless body of water” called the Deep.
We know It has a “top” because of references to the surface. We
don’t know how much space there is on each side. The solid plate is located beneath
the surface, and there are waters beneath it, which “have been separated from
the Deep waters.” In the ancient Hebrew culture, “setting
something apart for a divine purpose,” means it is “holy.”

“In the beginning Elohim created the Skies and the Dry Land” is the title of this story. The title also reveals the main character and tells us what to expect. “God” is an “umbrella term” that is used to refer to a wide variety of divine entities. It is essential for Bible readers to use the transliterations of the words that appears in the ancient Hebrew or Greek manuscripts, instead of “God.” Just doing this one thing will increase your accuracy of understanding of the ancient messages exponentially!

This
is like hearing “fingernails scratching on a blackboard” to me (older people
will understand this) – “good works do not save people.” Do
bad works save people? Do no works save people? Did Elohim stop caring how
people treat each other? The answer is found in the Torah, the
teachings of Yeshua (the Jesus of history in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and
the Book of Acts), and the Declaration of Independence. Continue

“And
God made two great lights; the great light to rule the Day and the lesser light
to rule the Night; and the stars.” The words from Genesis meant “the sun, moon,
and stars” to me. When the members of many ancient societies looked up at the skies,
they saw gods and goddesses. I can’t imagine what life in that reality would be
like. What do you think their reaction would be to a sky without gods and
goddesses? Continue reading at – https://mailchi.mp/67cc25c2114e/when-elohim-replaced-the-gods-of-the-nations
I
want to remind readers with Christian Biblical Heritages that the translation
you are reading is much closer to what Jesus read, interpreted, and taught his
disciples. This will help you understand his message and movement much better.
