In Genesis chapters 1 and 2 is the creation narrative. However, when we look at chapter 1, there is a distinct difference to how God refers to Himself, than in chapter 2. Why is this the case? Why does God refer to Himself by a different “name” in Genesis 2?
We continue our exploration of the days of Creation with days 5 through 7. The key day is day six, when God creates man. So, we see that everything in creation was done for man. (Psalm 8)
After the chaos of the original creation, God begins the restoration of the universe. But this time, the world is being remade for humanity. So, on the first day He restores the lights of the heavens. On the second day He pulled back the waters of the first worldwide flood (deluge). And on day three He created vegetation. Then on the fourth day God set the stars and planetary bodies.
Genesis 1:1 is the creation of the universe. This very first verse of the Bible teaches many principles. Some of them are the origins of the universe, the creator of the universe, and the orderliness of the first creation.
