The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

  To open blind eyes,

  To bring out prisoners from the dungeon

  And those who dwell in darkness from the prison.

• Isaiah 49:6: He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant

  To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel;

And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth." And it was so. And God made the two great lights - the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night - and the stars. And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

• 1 Corinthians 15:40-44: There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ.

• Philippians 2:16: holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.

• Romans 13:12-13: The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy.

• 1 Thessalonians 5:5-8: For you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober. For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk at night. But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.

  Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon. ... He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. ... And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. ... And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. ... And he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. ... Here is wisdom.

Genesis Hidden in Hebrews.. The (S)Word of God

Hebrews 4:12-13 

- For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword 

(Gen 3:24: He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden He placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of Life.)

- Even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit 

(Gen 1:7 God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse... God called the expanse Heaven)

-Of both joints and marrow 

(Gen 2:23 “This is at last bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh”)

-And able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 

-And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked 

(Gen 3:7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked)

-And laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we must answer. 

(Genesis 3:9: But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”)
