This morning I was reading the creation account 
in Genesis 1       
Trying to do good Biblical interpretation...    
- What's the context?    
- What was the writer's intent and main message?    
in other words:   
Is this a 'how creation happened' account?  
or an interesting 'allegory' or other literary device 
to communicate the Love of God or something else...?          

as I was pondering this 
I read the answer!             

Gen 2:4 These are the generations
of the heavens and the earth when they were created,
in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens. (ESV)

or in the Amplified version;
2:4 This is the history of the heavens and of the earth when they were created. In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens—

Looked up the word in Hebrew for 'generations' or 'history'
- means 'the birth of' or 'beginning of' or 'stages of' a timeline...

Oh Lord,
I want to Know Your intent
Your message of the words You have had
written for me to read....
Words of Truth
Words of Heaven and Earth
Words of Your relationship with me
and Words of How it Happened...
Wow.

Thank You for teaching me
for making it plain
for giving me faith to
believe that You Are
and that You Created.

Thank You Jesus,

PJ
