Dividing of Time

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

Genesis 1:6

Well, it looks like we've finally encountered our first of several problems. Here's what happens when Zebulon with the power of the water in the wide space and in the one that is smaller still meets up with the power of the threshing tool. The firmament here is acting like the threshing tool seen in the dividing between the waters if you will. If you won't, that's fine too but I really wish you would. That in itself becomes a bit of an issue. What happens when you try to divide water from itself. Then again, what exactly would that look like. There's only one place in the world where this phenenomenon occurs naturally. Well, there's four really. Let's say one water is nice and clear. The other is quite muddy and heavy laden with silt, sand, or debris. There's actually a place in this world where these two waters meet. You can see the clear line drawn in the water as the muddy water struggles to join in with the clear. They just don't mix all that well on the surface, mainly because of the two different densities or weights of the water. Think about it. Water with sand and dirt floating in it is heavier than that of it's relative neighbor, the clear. If you think it's because there's more stuff floating in it, you would be right. Then there's the issue where the currents meet the sea. Sometimes high powered currents travelling unusually fast will sweep along the shoreline only to be met with resistance. This resistance actually speeds up the current even faster, sending it right on back out to sea in the form of a riptide. Well, we've got force, weight, and then there's also the air. Sometimes rain is contained dissolved in the clouds as vapor, mist, or steam. When enough has collected, the vapors will fall back to earth again in the form of the rain. Fresh water and salt water is also a good example of two different solvencies of water. It's also a distribution of sorts if you like to think of it that way. Salt water contains salt dissolved in the water which makes it have different chemical composition than that of the fresh, which has nothing added except for maybe some minerals. These two different makeups alone are enough to discourage the two from ever coming together. Therefore, you can have large bodies of fresh water in the form of lakes and streams meeting that of the larger, the sea. Both will retain their relative consistency. Let's see what happens in a minute once the firmament's done.
