Spy Roh Jireh
Combining Scripture With Physics
But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.
(Ezekiel 33:6) KJV
“Jehovah Jireh,” means, in simple terms, the Lord will provide. He is all sufficient. We live it out by being, or providing, whatever the situation requires: Whatever is needed, that is what I shall be.
“Jireh,” occurs in a variety of forms, Jehovah Jireh (Jehovah sees), Elohim Jireh (Elohim sees) and Tsaphah Jireh (the Watchman sees) for example. In the case of the Watchman, the word “tsaphah,” includes meaning that gives us a word play that we can use as an illustration of what happens when you deviate from a pattern.
Watchman: ืฆึธืคึธื – tsaphah
- To look out, watch, keep watch, spy, observe
- to lean forward, to peer into the distance, to observe, await
The Hebrew verb “tsaphah” primarily means to look out or to keep watch. It conveys the idea of observing with intent or vigilance, often in the context of a watchman or someone who is on the lookout for approaching events or dangers. This term is used both in literal and metaphorical senses, indicating physical watching as well as spiritual or prophetic observation.
Combining Scripture With Physics
The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
(Genesis 1:2) ESV
There are three things in Genesis 1:2, besides the the deep, which describe the state of the universe before God said “let there be light.” We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) use this to deduce that it was a zero-G environment.
As with all our work on deducing how the Bible interweaves with science we have to know the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end. There’s another concept which we have to consider, something which has profound significance for both science and the broad narrative of scripture: gravity. There are two ways to tackle this:
- Biological evidence of zero-g, (yesterday)
- combining scripture with physics (today).
On the first day God gave a command which started the interconnected processes of Nucleosynthesis and Abiogenesis. By the end of the first day there was a watery matrix that included all of the atoms, molecules and replicating life forms of exceptional size that we know from Precambrian fossils. It was the primordial soup that SciPop predicts was the cauldron where life began. The teaming life obscured the light, and It became dark (night).
Given that dark is the opposite of light, and we know that God’s desired outcome is pure light, we can use the terms used to describe the process of evolution from cladistic, phylogenetic systematics. We can say that dark is the primitive state, while light is the advanced condition. This gives us the ability to code this into a binary character state matrix where primitive = 0 while advanced = 1. Now, the question is: dark is only one of three states mentioned. Can we assume that the opposite of the other two states is the desired outcome of the creative process? And what happens if we do? It gives us a predictive testable hypothesis.
Predictive Testable Hypothesis 26
- IF the deep was formless,
- BUT in a gravitational field water forms a sphere,
- THEN on the 1st day (and before) the universe was a zero-G environment.
States of the Deep
| The Deep | Primitive State | Advanced Condition |
| Without form | Formless | Spherical |
| Void | Pure Water | Primordial Soup |
| Darkness | Dark | Light |
We’re going to consider the implications of each of these three character state transitions because, among other things, they open up the way to a theory of gravitation.
