GENESIS 1 (SEED) & 2 (IMAGE) REVISITED

January 25, 2022

Notice the often-supposed repeated accounts of the creation in Genesis. It begins in Genesis 1 and then appears to repeat in Genesis 2. What is the reason for this?   And why do both chapters have subtle differences?   Did Moses mistakenly write down what YHWH told Him to write?   Did the scribes erroneously copy this section of scripture so we can now assume the account of Genesis is just some allegory that we can spiritualize away?   No. We need to pay close attention to the details and follow the path of clues laid before us back to the garden. 

Genesis 1:

The creation of all seeds and their programs/rules of existence. 

Genesis 1:26, And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the Image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat:and it was so. 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. 

Genesis 2:

Forming of the flesh (images) of the seeds of the ground after watering on the Seventh day. 

Genesis 2:3, And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, 5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the Tree of Life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. . . . . 15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:17 But of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. 

Let’s review the differences in the two passages. 

Genesis 1: SEED

The creation of all seeds and their programs/rules of existence:

· Not of dust

· “MADE” In God’s image

· Male/female

· Dominion over all things in the earth

· Blessed by God

· Fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth

· Every herb, tree yielding seed for meat, flesh of trees and herbs

· All very good

· God is known as El, Elohim, and El Shaddi; the miraculous divine hand of God is hidden in the natural

· Rules of existence are put in place and the multiplication of seed occurs. 

Genesis 2: MANIFESTED IMAGE 

Forming of the images of the seeds of the ground after watering on the 7th day Sabbath:

· First watering is on the 7th day Sabbath

· Every plant and herb grows

· “FORMED” man

· Of the dust of the ground

· Breathed into his nostrils the breath of life

· Man becomes a living soul

· Every tree grows that is pleasant to sight and good for food (bearing seeds); The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life are placed in the garden

· Man put in the garden to dress and keep it 

· Every tree he may eat of, but the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil will cause him to die

· Man is alone and it is not good

· Formation of all beasts and fowls from the ground

· Adam names the animals

· No help meet for Adam

· Deep sleep on Adam

· Woman is “made” from Adam’s rib (womb) and brought to him. 

· “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh”

· Both Adam and Eve are naked and not ashamed 

· God is known as the Lord God (YHWH); the miraculous is done openly for deliverance of redeemed flesh (image)

 All the seeds that were created in Genesis 1 had not grown until the Seventh Day Sabbath which focuses on the giving of water and the breath of life so that those seeds can manifest their images. Genesis 1 is about the creation of seed and Genesis 2 is about the manifestation of those seeds into fruit by watering and the giving of the breath of the Lord. 

The fractal we are presented with, that all creation (manifestation) must be evaluated through, is “Seed then Image (fruit)”. All perceived truth will come through that pattern of death and resurrection, death like a seed and resurrection like an ascended fruit.
