WATER, WATER, WATER

Just so happens that part of my Bible reading this morning was from Ps 104. Sounds like creation:

You who laid the foundations of the earth,
So that it should not be moved forever,
You covered it with the deep as with a garment;
The waters stood above the mountains.
At Your rebuke they fled;
At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.
They went up over the mountains;
They went down into the valleys,
To the place which You founded for them.
You have set a boundary that they may not pass over,
That they may not return to cover the earth. (Ps 104:5-9)

Standing alone, that might also describe the great flood, but the Psalm goes on to describe how he takes care of the animals, gave birds homes, causes grass to grow, created the sun and moon, etc.

Sounds like at the beginning of creation the earth was covered in water. When He created the earth, that is how He began.

Those are interesting thoughts. I have no idea.

Darkness is the absence of light. Darkness is not something created, only an absence of light. A shadow is the blocking or obstruction of light. Maybe the light that was created is this:

All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.
-Rev 13:8 NIV

And bow before it shall all who are dwelling upon the land, whose names have not been written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world;
-Rev 13:8 YLT

3and God saith, ‘Let light be;’ and light is. 4And God seeth the light that [it is] good, and God separateth between the light and the darkness, 5and God calleth to the light ‘Day,’ and to the darkness(darkness, obscurity) He hath called ‘Night;’ and there is an evening, and there is a morning — day one.

^^^In other words there is a state of being in the light or a state of being in the absence of light, darkness. God who is our Salvation is that bridge out of the darkness into the light. 

In all of our technologies and advancements, we still cannot create water. I don't think we will ever be able to. We can recycle it, change its state (solid, liquid, gas), manipulate it, but cannot take 2 Hydrogen atoms and combine them with an oxygen atom to create water. We can split an atom and create a devastating and deadly nuclear explosion, but cannot combine atoms to create life giving water. All of our attempts to try and manipulate and control the elements in the same way that God does, results in destruction either immediately or later on in the long run. 

I think water in these first few verses represent life itself, which later in scriptures it is referred in this way many many times. The living waters, the stream of living waters, when Jesus says "...I can give you water so you never thirst again...." and so on. The living water was there but it did not come to give or bare life until after the light was created and was shone on it. In darkness there was nothing that was LIVING yet. And so we see this as barbiosheepgirl pointed out above:

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God.

3All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. (darkness is absence of light, it is non existent or not was created so it cannot comprehend anything).

The Word, Jesus, Logos, Life, Light was how God made the waters bring into existence the land, foliage, fruits, vegetables, plants, animals, sea life, births, insects, and lastly us through the light by His Word. 60% of our body is water. God created the world, space, time and everything in 6 days. Nothing can live without water and most things cannot live without light. Except for those few odd creatures that live deep in caves or at the deepest trenches of the ocean, but they still have to have water. His Word/Life/Jesus is the light we LIVE through. 

There is our life we live now in the waters below the expanse/heavens that is divided or separated into both earth(Adame/our flesh/sin) and the sea. The life we will live after the resurrection, when our curse is no more (which was accomplished at the cross and everything in its time will happen), and the only thing left IS life because death will be gone. When God is all in all (the waters above the expanse) and the division of the waters is removed between the expanse there is only the living waters that are left. Life. These living waters are offered freely as we see in John and Revelation:

"he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;' John 7:38

1Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3No longer will there be anything accursed (our curse is death from sin), but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. 4They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5And night (darkness is gone, only light and life REMAINS!) will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.


Ironically there was the discovery recently of the fountain of the deep that resides in a particular type of stone deep below the crust. It is a vivid and iridescent sapphire color made up of many layers that hold a lot of water. It is believed this layer of stone is under the entire earth. When this stone is compressed, water comes out and it is believed that there is over 10x the amount of water in our current oceans in these deep layers of water filled stone. 

Well that is my .02 on the meanings of the Waters above and the waters below in scripture and to add a little to what Barb laid out so well above


EDITED & ADDED A FEW MORE DETAILS  ^^^^^^^^

Yes as I pointed above about when we try it, things go boom lol! The combination of the chemicals is not hard in theory, but it is extremely dangerous. What we cannot do is make enough water for it to be useful, like drinking water for countries without access to clean water or water to fill dying lakes or bodies of water.

I would sign up for that "lecture" or "show"....
