Created Again

Genesis 1:21

I don’t know about you but have you ever seen anything having fun in the sun? What about finding a big pool of water that isn’t too deep and diving right in? Don’t go in headfirst though, cause otherwise you might get injured if it isn’t too deep. That’s because your head, like a whale’s, is mostly streamlined and aerodynamic. It means it moves faster through water than a big mass dropping down from the air. Which, that’s what jumping is, just so you know. The whales, whether a lot larger or smaller in size, do both jumping and diving whichever their whim. It takes an awful lot of water to cover them due to their size. My, it’d almost give the phrase swallowing camels and straining at gnats a new life of its' own. It’s all the same sort of thing if you happen to think. Now that we’ve seen the creatures found in the deep, there’s something bothering us which speaks to the birds. Remember how we had talked about life from the order which is found in the deep? Let’s look at it all over again.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Genesis 1:2-3

How’s that for jumping right in? Is it deep enough or would you rather a long swanning dive? Right away you’ll find there’s corner one just laying in wait to be found. There’s darkness and a great deep. It’s almost perfect for the whales to go play, only it’s hardly made of the right sort of stuff. You’d need light and some food to keep them happy and warm. Whales too like to eat a good bit of floating plant matter known as algae or weeds that are found in the sea. Well, they’re not your regular garden variety weeds are they but rather a new sort without any roots. These are created primarily from the nutrients found in the water and their growth is fueled by the warmth of the sun. Anyhow, I’m getting off track a bit I would guess. Into this environment comes light and some sound. There you have it. Here’s Issachar, the realm of the light, and Manassas, that of the sound, in the beginning as from whence it had been. They’ve not come alone though for in the beginning was what? That’s right, the Spirit was there too in the form of the Lord. Only, this time the Spirit’s acting as the divider or the reaping of course. The waters had only just made their way forth as out of darkness and formless these had occurred. Therefore, that’s corner one up at the top.

 Reuben                    Judah                        Simeon

Let’s flip it around into place, sort of like this.

Reuben

Judah

Simeon

There, that’s a lot better as it gives the light direct control of those beings affected. Perhaps you haven’t done anything wrong ever at all. Some people have though and when they do they feel kind of bad. Reuben, as we well know, is most easily affected by being around a great light. Therefore, they’ll need the support and the feelings of togetherness lest these too should happen to fall. It’s an attitude of ‘Lord, I know you’ve got the whole house. Keep me nearest the cross then lest I should happen to make a new friend.’ By friend I mean the devil, whether without or within, but someone who is always constantly roaring. Perhaps it’s out of hunger, the desire for conquest, or maybe some fear. One thing’s for sure though, when these smaller lions are much nicely settled within the larger Lionly pride, you’ll find the King of that tribe has come on inside. Who should I mean except for the Lord but of course. Next time I promise we’ll be back at the viewing station to see more of these two. I mean the whales in the ocean with the sun, and the sand, and the birds. Ready? I'll race you back to start, line, finish.
