The Bible is not an instruction manual on how the world works yet it does reveal how God moves and works in the world. The Bible does not speak in our culture and language nor does it address our modern world. It was written primarily to a people who were auditory learners— they listened to the ancient stories and filled in the gaps with their imagination. It’s rather like comparing what is seen through the Hubble telescope with Van Gogh’s painting, “Starry Night.” Recognizing the difference will aid in our understanding of how God created our world.

The ancient world had a much different understanding of the creation and its relationship to the Temple. Creation was synonymous with temple theology and related to the invisible world beyond the firmament. The concept of separation or division was also key to the process of creation as outlined in Genesis one. Separation was based on purpose and function. This six part teaching goes on to explain how the creation is intimately connected to the services of the High Priest in the Holy of Holies.
