Genesis is not History: Genesis is Prophecy : Light of the World in
Genesis : The Days of Genesis are Symbolic of Ages of Time

This is an explanation and addition to the article linked herein.

The Genesis creation began at the cross of Jesus Christ rather than at
some primordial mists of ancient time.

The Genesis creation account is a prophecy--not a lesson in biology. At
the time that Genesis was written, men already knew about the physical
creation and they did not need to be reminded. The Genesis story takes
the elements of the visible creation and uses them to tell about a new
creation that would be coming in the distant future--not the past.

Modern Christian theology is dead wrong in its interpretations of
Genesis. The book of Genesis is about the creation of the new covenant,
using the old covenant as type, symbol, emblem, and metaphor for the
spiritual creation of the new covenant that begins with Jesus Christ.
When you read the first chapters of Genesis you are reading about
Christ coming out of Israel to be the light of the nations.

So the Father kills two birds with one stone: recall the past; use the
past to tell the future he has planned:

  " That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already
  been; and God requireth that which is past."

In sum, Genesis 1:1 began to happen when Jesus was born. Jehovah told
us this:

  "Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none
  else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the
  beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done,
  saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
  Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my
  counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring
  it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it."

  Isaiah 46:9-11

The 'former things of old' are the older books of Moses. God calls
these former, ancient things, "the things that are not yet done." This
means they have not happened yet. Then God says of these ancient
things, "I will also bring it to pass, I have purposed it, I will
also do it."

So God tells us he planned those things and they yet need to come to
pass. Then he tells us about the 'ravenous bird from the east' that
will carry out God's plan. The phrase, 'ravenous bird from the east' is
the HEBREW, the raptor bird that crosses boundaries in conquest. It is
ancient idiom for, 'conqueror'. This bird is Jesus of Nazareth, the
ultimate conqueror of human hearts and minds, the harvester of souls.

From the time of the church fathers to the present, I know of only one
theologian who had any inkling of this: Martin Luther.

Warning to theologians: don't plagiarize this doctrine and mix it in
with Church nonsense to prop up some new self-serving, authoritarian
nonsense. The Church religion is false. The Church gospel is false. The
Church institution is wrong about almost everything it teaches. The
Church is an authoritarian cult that glorifies the bishopric in place
of the Lord. The bishopric is the 'man of sin' and the anti-christ. The
bishopric is the 'evil eye' that needs to be plucked out to prevent the
whole body from being cast into the fire.

The Church teaches it is doing the 'Great Commission'. This is a lie.
The Apostles already finished the Great Commission many centuries ago,
as attested by Paul, who said the good news was already preached to all
the nations. Jesus already took away the sin of mankind and God never
asked for this thing called 'Church' to help save souls. God sent his
messengers from the disciples of Jesus. God never needed religious help
with anything. He already accomplished it. The Church arrogates this
commission to itself, denying that God already accomplished what he
purposed to do in Isaiah 46 and Genesis 1-3.

We need a new reformation that tosses out the Nicolaitan Church
bishopric system into the same dumpster where the indulgences rot. The
Church is not the body of Christ. It is the dying body of Adam on life
support. Genesis is about this very thing, hidden in plain sight so
that the blind will not see the parables.

God told us all he is going to do:

"Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto
his servants the prophets."

The Genesis creation story is just this kind of advance notice. The
Christian Church is the evil empire that has spent centuries of blood
and treasure to deny what God has already done.
