Usages (1/8)

Genesis 1:1

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Breakdown

God in the Hebrew (Ahlahayam) is plural - Ahla means power, -yam makes it plural, therefore 'powers', i.e. In the beginning the powers.... "God" here represents Yahawashi (which is the real name of "Jesus" in the Paleo-Hebrew) and the angels. (John 1:1, Hebrews 1:2, Colossians 1:16). Further proof that God is plural is Genesis 1:26, Let us make man in our image.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Breakdown

This verse proves that God here is referring to more than one entity. The image is referring to order, i.e. the laws. let them have dominion Man was given power over all the animals. During the time of Adam and Noah, all animals feared man (Genesis 9:2). The animals will go back to being in fear in the Kingdom of Israel (Isaiah 11:8). Note Man had already been created at this point, but the angels were saying "let's make man different from the animals", "let's give them the laws and order".

This is the first occurrence of the LORD's name, Yahawah, in the Bible. generations is not talking about genealogies (angels do not have sex, Matthew 22:30), but the record of what the Yahawashi (Jesus) and the angels did (Hebrews 1:2, Colossians 1:16). The LORD God ultimately gets all of the credit, thus why it says here that he made the earth and the heavens (e.g. how King Solomon got the credit for building the House of God when it was his servants).
