Epiphany
For God, who said, โLet light shine out of darkness,โ has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
(2 Corinthians 4:6) ESV
We’re discussing the beginning of creation, Genesis 1:1-2, and we have an intriguing question: if God is light, in whom is no darkness at all, then why was there darkness upon the face of the deep?
It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
(Hebrews 9:23) KJV
Things on Earth are patterned after things in the heavens. Part of the symbolism of Christ on the cross is that darkness came upon the world in the middle of the day.
If Christ’s suffering on the cross is a picture of the sacrifice made by the bonding together of H+ and ฮฉO2-, then what could the darkness at his death be but a picture of the state of the universe in Genesis 1:2?
God is Light
This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
(1 John 1:5) ESV
God is light if God the father is Alpha, the proton (Hydrogen, H+) which is light. The Holy spirit is omega Oxygen (ฮฉO2-). These are the elemental spirits (atomic species) of the universe H+ and ฮฉO2-, Alpha and Omega.
Elemental Hydrogen, God the Father, glows brightly. His nature is light, so therefore we can deduce that the energetic state of the Hydrogen which existed before creation caused it to shine brightly.
The Holy Trinity, particle
| Identity | Particle | Name | Symbol |
| God the Father | Hydrogen the first elemental particle | Alpha | H+ |
| God the Holy Spirit | Omega Oxygen | Omega | ฮฉO2- |
| God the Son | Hydroxyl | Alpha and Omega | ฮฉOH– |
Darkness on the Face of the Deep
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.
(Genesis 1:2) KJV
The nature of free will is such that an individual can choose light or darkness. How can there be free will unless a choice is available? The Lord had to create a universe in which darkness exists.
We’ve made the case that the phrase the foundation of the world is an act of conception because of the Greek word katabole. It also makes sense that if we’re going to live in a universe where sin is possible, then this possibility must have been built into it from the beginning. This was the sacrifice that had to be made. The pure had to become impure in order for us to have free will.
At the foundation of the world part of the Hydrogen (H+) fused with omega Oxygen (ฮฉO2-) to form ฮฉOH–. This became a plasma with another equal part of the H+ to form the deep, H2O. We have a statement to this effect by the Lord: I and my Father are one.
I and my Father are one.
(John 10:30) KJV
The Holy Trinity, formulaic
| In the beginning was the Word | and the Word was with God | and the Word was God |
| ฮฉOH– | ฮฉOH– +H+ = H2O | H+ + ฮฉO2- = ฮฉOH– |
He Became Sin for Us
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
(2 Corinthians 5:21) KJV
Christ’s suffering and death on the cross is symbolic. It’s necessary for us to have this symbolism in order to understand the magnitude of what happened. God gave his own son, incarnated as Jesus of Nazareth, as a picture of the actual sacrifice, the bonding together of H+ and ฮฉO2-. to form ฮฉOH– and their existence in a plasma with H+ to form the deep.
From the Sixth Hour to the Ninth Hour
Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
(Matthew 27:45) KJV
After he was begotten God the Son (ฮฉOH–) existed in a plasma with H+ to form what we call water (H2O) referred to as the deep. As such, the H+ of God the Father (light) existed momentarily, or for a period of time we don’t know for sure, in a form in which its light wasn’t visible. There was darkness upon the surface of the deep because the light was bound into the deep. This is what made the light go out, It was quenched, temporarily, in the deep.
Why Have You Forsaken Me?
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
(Matthew 27:46)
The incarnation of Jesus Christ is the payment which had to be made not just to redeem creation, but to make it possible. The crucifixion is the symbolism we need to be able to understand what God has done for us, but the sacrifice was made when God went against his own nature to make creating the universe possible.
Slain from the Foundation of the World
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
(Revelation 13:8) KJV
Jesus Christ had to become sin for us so that we could be saved. However, the truth is that Jesus Christ had to become sin for us so that we could exist. The sacrifice had to be made so that creation could begin, not end. This is why the lamb was slain from the foundation of the world.
Let Light Be
and God says, โLet light beโ; and light is.
(Genesis 1:3) LSV
When God said, let light be, the lamb was slain. This is the sacrifice which had to be made so that God could create a universe in which sentient beings with free will can make a choice between life or death, good or evil. And so we have stumbled upon the purpose of creation.
The purpose of creation is to bring about the permanent physical separation of light from darkness, day from night, good from evil.
