    [WMSCOG] DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS–In the previous post of the Six-Day Creation, we have seen about the first day creation. It showed us about how God created light and separated light from darkness. Today, let us see the second day creation: the separation of waters. Just like the first day, the second day creation work is also done by a separation of two types of people. On the first day, God separated Adam and Eve, and their descendants from other mankind around them by revealing the light of the glory of God to Adam and Eve. From that moment, for the first time in human history, people came to have knowledge about the existence of God.

    [The Second Day Creation] Day Two: Separation of Waters

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS–Then what is the meaning of the second day creation? Let us take a look at the second day of creation?

    Genesis 1:6 And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

    The main creation work of God on the second day was the separation of waters by putting a vault or expanse between them. And God separated water above the sky and water below. Does this mean God created the water above and below for the first time? And was there no cloud in the sky before this moment? As we have seen many times before, the words of God has hidden meaning behind it. It means it must be read as parable written in a figurative language.

    Water Below and Water Above

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS–To understand the figurative meaning, first we have to understand the literal meaning. Then what are the two waters? Water below the expanse means waters we can find on the surface of the earth such as rivers, seas, lakes, swamps, etc. Then what is the water above the expanse? That must be the clouds in the sky. In the literal sense, God separated some water from the water below and formed the water above or clouds in the sky.

    Meaning Of Water Below

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS–Then what is the meaning hidden in this creation work? To understand this we have to know the spiritual meaning of the water below. Then what do the waters on the surface of the earth represent? In the Book of Revelation, we can see an image of woman sitting on waters. And God let us know the figurative meaning of the waters.

    Revelation 17:1, 15 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters….15 Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.

    In this prophecy we can see that the waters represents “peoples, multitudes, nations and languages” or simply we can say that the waters means “human society”. We can confirm this through another imagery in the book.

    Revelation 13:1 The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast (a kingdom) coming out of the sea (the human society).

    In this prophecy, God showed John a beast coming out of the sea. And if you have already studied the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, you would already know that this means a nation arising from a human society or the water. In this sense, we can know that the waters represent the whole human society.

    The Water Above

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS–Then what is the water above which was taken out from the human society? They must be a group of people who God would separate from the rest of the people of the human society. Then who are these people? To understand the meaning behind this symbol, we have to first understand the formation of the clouds.

    The water above the sky means clouds in the sky. Scientifically, how are the clouds formed? When bodies of water on the surface of the earth are heated by sunlight, some of the water evaporates and condenses into clouds up in the sky. (To understand about this, please follow the link and read a related article.) In this sense, we can say that the clouds are a purified body of water which was separated from the original bodies of water below.

    Figurative Meaning Of Formation Of Clouds

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS–Then what is the spiritual meaning behind this? The waters are the human society. The next thing we have to know is the sunlight which makes the evaporation take place. What is the sun light? Spiritually, the sun represents God himself. In the time of Jesus, Zechariah the father of John the Baptist, moved by the Holy Spirit, prophesied about the Coming of Christ or Messiah.

    Luke 1:76 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, 77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation    through the forgiveness of their sins, 78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun (Jesus) will come to us from heaven 79 to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.

    Apostle John’s Testimony of Light

    Apostle John also testifies that Jesus is the true light or the light of the sun.

    John 1:6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 9 The true light (Jesus) that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.

    1John 1:5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

    Again and again the bible teaches that God is the true light or the sun that gives light the human society or the waters.

    Water Above: People Spiritually Born Again

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS–Through this we can understand the meaning of the clouds above. The clouds represent a body of water which was separated from the original bodies of water because of the heat from the sun. In the same way, spiritually the clouds mean the people of God who God separates from the rest of people. When the sunlight (God) shines the light of life, some people of the human society receive the light of life. And finally, they separate themselves from the rest of the human society by purifying themselves with the light of life from God (or the sun).

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS
    Tower of Babel and the Confusion of the Languages

    The Fulfillment Of The Second Day Creation

    DAY TWO: SEPARATION OF WATERS–The first day creation was 1656 years from the time of Adam to the time of Noah. In the time of Adam God shone the light of life to the human society for the first time by revealing his existence to Adam and Eve, the first people who came to have the knowledge of God. Even though God revealed the light of life to the people, people refused to accept the light of life from God. So God destroyed all the mankind except for Noah and his family.

    After this, in the time of Noah as we have seen above, God separated people who were to be saved (water above) from those who were not (Waters below). This period of the second day creation is 352 years from Noah to Abraham. First, Noah’s descendants had one language and lived together. After the tower of Babel, however, God confused their language and scattered them throughout the earth. They formed various nations and tribes living around the world. This is the second day creation of God.

    [WMSCOG] Figurative Meaning Of Clouds In The Bible

    Formation of Clouds

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible--Christ’s coming as man in the flesh is figuratively represented as “coming on the clouds.” Then why does the bible relate a man in the flesh to clouds? It can be understood through the formation of the physical clouds. How are the clouds formed in the sky? It is formed through a process called “the water cycle.”

    As you can see in this diagram, the water on the surface of the earth evaporates because of the heat from the sun and the evaporated water drops condense and form the clouds in the sky. So literally clouds are a body of water above separated from the original water below because of the sun. Through this formation of physical clouds, actually God teaches us the spiritual meaning of clouds in the bible. In the formation of clouds, we can see two different things are involved, that is, first water on the surface of the earth such as oceans, rivers, and lakes, and second heat from the sun.

    Biblical Meaning of Cloud
    Formation of Clouds

    Hidden Meaning in the Water Cycle

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible-Then what is the spiritual meaning hidden behind this formation of clouds? First, we must know the reality of the water below. What does the water below represent?

    Revelation 17:1  One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.

    We can see a image of a woman who is sitting on many waters. In this context, the woman represent a church as we can see in the Book of 1 Peter.

    1 Peter 5:13  She (or a woman) who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.

    Who is this woman? In another translation of this verse, it is written like this: “13 The church in Babylon sends you greetings.” (ERV) Through this we can see that a church is sitting on the waters, which symbolically mean controlling the waters by ruling over the waters. Then what does the waters represent? Does it mean there is a church which has control over the oceans of the earth, making a lot of money? Just as the woman is a church, the water also means something else. In Verse 15 of the Chapter, God let us know the spiritual meaning of the waters:

    Revelation 17:15  Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.

    It means that the waters represents all the human society of the worlds, including all the nations, languages, peoples, and races. Simply we can call the waters “Human Society” in general. So a woman sitting on many waters can mean “a church controlling the whole human society.” Through this we can see the spiritual meaning of the waters below, which means all the human beings living on the surface of the earth. Then what is the next requirement in the formation of the clouds? It is the Sun. Then what is the sun that provide the heat to make the waters evaporate to form the clouds?

    About the Christ coming down to this earth, the bible prophesies that:

    Luke 1:78  because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun (Jesus) will come to us (waters) from heaven.

    John 1:8  He (John the Baptist) was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light (Jesus) that gives light to every man (waters) was coming into the world.

     Through this we can see the sun represents Jesus, who is coming as sunlight to shine his light of glory to waters or every man on the surface of the earth. Even though the sun shines its lights all over the waters, not all the waters evaporate to forms the clouds. Likewise, even though Jesus the true light shone his light of glory to all the peoples of the world or the waters, not all the peoples could accept the light of glory of God. Only a few accepted the light of glory from the Christ and spiritually they purified themselves and separated themselves from the original body of waters (the human societies) and could form clouds. In this sense, spiritually clouds are men who are spiritually born again by accepting the light of glory from the Christ. Simply you can say that the clouds represent God’s people. That is why Christ’s coming is represented as coming on the clouds or coming as man in the flesh.

    Biblical Meaning of Cloud

    Clouds Covering the Sunlight

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible-Not only that, coming on the clouds has more meanings behind it. First, what do clouds do in the sky? It covers the light of the sun, right? Spiritually, it means Christ’s coming as man in the flesh, covering the spiritual glory of God in the flesh so that it would be hard for people to recognize the true identity of the Christ. Since he covers his glory completely in the flesh, people could not see the glory of God in Christ and they rejected him and the salvation he brought to them.

    John 1:3-9  3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not understood it. …… 9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

    Even though he was God who was shining the glory of God to the peoples of the world, but they did not see the glory of God in Christ and they rejected him.

    2 Corinthians 4:3  3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

    Even though the Apostles could see the glory of God in Christ, others could not see the glory and they could not receive salvation. Then why did this happen? It was because Christ hid his glory or his light completely with cloud or his flesh.

    Coming On the Clouds
    What is it you are seeming in this picture? Is it just a man in the flesh or God who came to fulfill the prophecies of the bible? Even though he appeared as man, he was our Savior. Even though he was rejected by man, he was God who appeared as man.

    Cloud and Rain

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible-Let us think about another meaning of clouds in the bible. Why is Christ’s coming compared to clouds? What are clouds made up of? Water drops or rain, right? In the same way, when Christ comes, he is bringing the rain or water. Then what is the spiritual water he is bringing to the world?

    Amos 8:11  “The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine through the land—not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.

    Spiritually, food and water mean the words of God. So when Christ comes, he must bring the words of God to the thirsty souls so that they can receive life for the soul. That is why when Christ came 2000 years ago, he brought us the new words of God or the new covenant so that we can receive the forgiveness of sins and eternal life through the water.

    Luke 22:19   And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

    Conclusion

    Figurative Meaning of Clouds in the Bible-For all these reasons, Christ’s coming is prophesied as coming on the clouds. Then should we still think that he will come on the clouds of heaven with visible glory and power? No. Just like everything else in the bible, clouds are also figurative and parabolic. When Jesus prophesied that he would come on the clouds of heaven in the last days in his second coming, what he actually meant was that he would come as man in the flesh hiding his glory and power and bringing the words of God (water) to give us salvation. That is why he must come as man in the flesh for the second time and he must restored the words of God which were abolished by the work of Satan during the Dark Ages and gives us the back the true words of God to give us salvation.

    Now even though other people do not know the light of glory of God since their eyes are veiled, we as God’s people in Zion can see the glory of God, which gives us salvation. The glory of God shining from the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother Jerusalem. God is shining the true light at this moment, calling us to come so that we can receive the water of life, the true words of God that give us eternal life. Come to Zion, the World Mission Society Church of God.
