Bible Study, Part 6

Creation of Light (אוֹר)

Genesis, Chapter 6 |
Sunday – July 25, 2026

Because of my continued but minor medical issue, I am still under the influence, and because of this I am not yet able to take up my writing in the same way as I wrote before. This means that I will not be able to keep up with the phase of this "Bible Study series", and that I will likely commit some mistakes and cut this post shorter than usual; of course, this all depends and it is currently too early for me to tell. At any rate, I have already decided that most of these posts are too long anyways and that it is time for me to cut them down, as a large portion of them are spent repeating the same information. This is why I have decided to create a separate page that I will link to in future posts, explaining the rules that I will apply in this Bible series, because it is getting old having to repeat myself over and over again. And yes, do excuse my candor here, but I am in a little bit of a distress here, nothing major and nothing that I am unable to pull through, but nonetheless something that is annoying me and making this very difficult. Now, I am still, however hard this has temporarily become, happy to write this series as I am truly inspired by the divine; I also believe that hardships in life must be survived, read "The Metaphysics of Adversity". Yes, this is an adversity for me, which is why it should be fitting that I cover the Bible, albeit in a slow pace, but this does not mean that I may not increase the pace in the future, as I expand upon the Bible and the revealed word of the Creator (Yahweh-Elohim in this context).

    This is the 6th part of this series, and if you are going to understand anything in this part, you would be prudent in reading all the previous parts, in chronological order, and here I have bothered to link each previous part: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. If you choose to not read the previous parts, then you are likely to not understand this part very well, but at the end of the day only you decide for yourself how you choose to approach this study.

    As usual, I am going to rely on a specific publication of the Bible: namely the Catholic New Revised Standard (NRSV-CE); if you are relying on a different publication of the Bible, then beware that there are going to be some subtle differences between your copy and this. Now, I do also rely to a certain extend on other publications of the Bible, but the NRSV-CE publication of the Bible is the one that I will quote throughout, and no other version, which means that you really should study each verse of each chapter in the NRSV-CE before you compare that to some other publication of the Bible. I also refuse to engage in the inflamed discourse around the King James Bible, as it was clearly the case in full accordance with my post "Temporal Power", that King James was a usurper of the Mandate of Heaven, which is yet another reason that should be added as to why you must regard his so-called "version" of the Bible with suspicion, as if there are several and, of course, individualized versions of the world of God. Shame! But I digress, for this discussion simply and clearly does not belong here, at least not directly, but you may of course interpret this rift between Catholics and Protestants as a kind of schism, which it is, but this is only a very recent development in the grand scheme of history, and besides, there have always been rifts and schisms within the Church, really since the Early Church.

    Also, as usual, I will keep referring to God and the Lord [God] as Yahweh (יַהְוֶה), because Genesis only covers the Old Testament, the Tanakh (תַּנַ״ךְ), which should be understood, in accordance with doctrine, as a covenant between God (Yahweh) and the Jewish nation—really proto-nation, for more discussion about the concept of "nations" click this here—and because of this circumstance, I have decided to substitute the title God and Lord God, sometimes only Lord, in each verse that I quote with Yahweh, which will be indicated by two brackets: [Yahweh]. Now, because each verse may not be of interest in this study and in order to save time and space, I may not quote each verse in the given chapter, and this will be indicated by continuation or three dots inside two brackets, [...]; again this indicates that there are preceding or succeeding verse not being included in the given quotation. Now, on the point of referring to God as Yahweh, this only applies to the Old Testament; if I quote the New Testament, which I have not had the opportunity to do yet, I will generally refer to God as God, for God is the universal God of man in the New Testament, and even while he still is universal in the Old Testament, there are many important reasons as to why I refuse to refer to him as something besides Yahweh (YHWH), Jehovah is also acceptable but it should be noted that Jehovah is technically mistranslated from Hebrew to Je-Hov-ah (in Latin/English).

    Yet again, before we can proceed with the study at hand: if you have complaints about anything that I have written and asserted, then you are free to post them in the comment section below this post. I have received a few complaints so far on the official email attached to this page (etherealinsight@protonmail.com), but my policy is to only handle complaints in the comment section, as I have largely reserved other channels of communication for discussions of a more private nature, such as readers sending forward letters containing privileged information, etc. What this means is that I am unlikely to respond to an email complaint as I simply do not have time to handle them, nor do I have time to connect each complaint to each relevant post; simply using the comment section is the best and most straightforward option. This is not a hard rule, but it is a recommendation if you actually want me to respond; I also call on you to refrain from using offensive words in your comments. I should also mention again, that it is my intention of creating a separate page that will take care of all of the possible confusions and other important information to be considered in this study; that page is still not finished, and when it is finished I will simply link each post to that page in order that can skip having to reiterate all of this information in each of these posts, as I mentioned above.

✠ The Wickedness of Mankind ✠
Genesis 6:1 – 4:

When people began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them, the sons of [Yahweh] saw that they were fair; and they took wives for themselves of all that they chose. Then [Yahweh] said, 'My spirit shall not abide in mortals forever, for they are flesh; their days shall be one hundred twenty years.' The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of [Yahweh] went in to the daughters of humans, who bore children to them. These were the heroes that were of old, warriors of renown.

We have now reached the generations that existed on the Earth after the creation, and what we can see in this passage is indeed that humanity has begun to multiply, and that men took wives, not husbands.* Further, this passages mentions the Nephilim (נְפִילִים), which were giants according to Hebrew mythology, and while there is little to no evidence of the existence of these giants, I should point out that we are dealing here with a time long before our own time, and that the Nephilim has been truly lost to history, read "The End of History", something that we shall see later in this and subsequent chapters.† Yahweh decides as well, that his spirit is to leave humanity and that humans indeed shall be mortals as written in stone and that their days shall not outnumber, generally speaking, 120 years, something that still holds true. This is significant and is a primary indication of the fall of man, and of the early days of schism and deceit, a leitmotif that I keep returning to in this study. Indeed, humanity is mortal, and much of it lives for sin, disease, and decay, and the further away humanity get from the spirit, the primordial body, the more diseased they become; it can only be fitting that their days on Earth should last shorter, read "When Will You Die?".

Genesis 6:5 – 8:

[Yahweh] saw that the wickedness of [man]kind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. And [Yahweh] was sorry that he had made [man]kind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So [Yahweh] said, 'I will blot out from the earth the human beings I have created—people together with animals and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.' But Noah found favor in the sight of [Yahweh].

It becomes apparent yet, that mankind is wicked and that sin reigned supreme in those days too, in the preflood world (Antediluvian), and Yahweh saw this, he recognized this as the result of that schism that started with the first sin, and that it had now grown into an enormous monster that was out of control, read "My Views on Politics". Here, we must confront the need for divine vengeance, a theme that can be seen in all major metaphysical traditions.‡

    Note as well, Noah, as I mentioned in my previous part, because he is central to the story of man's survival in the post-flood world, and in the story itself – Noah's ark. Yahweh has not given up on man, he has merely condemned the old world, the Antediluvian, and in place of the old, he has set forth a new world, which Noah is about to embark upon. This was a time for cleaning, and a time for rebirth, for they go hand in hand, just as the light is followed by the shadow: here the light had grown into subservience of the shadow, and Yahweh took necessary action, in order to make the light shine again, and to submit the shadow to the superior principle of light, for the only the shadow depends upon the light, never the other way around. Indeed, Yahweh made it so that Noah became the light of the remote future, of the new generations, and of the new Monday.

✚ Noah Pleases Yahweh ✚
Genesis 6:9 – 22:

[...] Now the earth was corrupt in [Yahweh’s] sight, and the earth was filled with violence. And [Yahweh] saw that the earth was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon the earth. And [Yahweh] said to Noah, 'I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence because of them; now I am going to destroy them along with the earth. [...]'

[...] [Yahweh said:] For my part, I am going to bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die. But I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. [...]

[...] Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind, two of every kind shall come in to you, to keep them alive. [...]

This is the most controversial part of the story, and in order to save space I have only quoted the most significant portions of verses 9 through 22, as far too many people tend to get hung up on the "literalism" of these passages.§

    Yahweh makes his intention clear: that the old world has to go, and that Noah as to bring humanity and all life, specified in this passage, into the new world, the new Monday, the dawn of the remote future; and that the old and the corrupt has to be destroyed in order for justice to make the way, the righteous way, forward into the new era, read "Essentials for the Golden Age". Noah is therefore the primeval ancestor of modern man, as he was tasked to bring the remnants of goodwill and righteousness within man into this new era so that it could flow henceforth; note as well the contrast between these, the first generations of the post-flood world and the modern generations of today. Now, Noah, as I mentioned in the previous post, is also a bridge between the old and the new, between the last Sunday and the first Monday, between death and rebirth, and in the end between the shadow and the light, between evil and deceit, between good and righteousness. Indeed, the old has to be shed in order for the new to take its righteous place, in order for the course of that righteous and pure stream to flow uninterrupted, and in order to keep corruption and disease at its bay – this is what Noah symbolizes. In turn, any almost given man today must symbolize again, the fall and the deceit of man, and the eventual and divine necessity for a rebirth in a great cataclysm, for destruction as the only righteous and good remnant left on Earth, when corruption truly has infested every corner of the world, when evil permeates all of man.

    You have reached the end of this part of the Bible, or rather my examination of the Bible. For more on this series, follow the label "Bible Study series". If you are interested in me, read my "About me page" and my "Who Am I" post.

Footnote(s)

* For more commentary on this, I direct you to my posts about homosexuality and marriage in general. It is significant still, that marriage has become so deformed and degenerated in our days, read "Modern Civilization".

† I should again add that much of pre-ancient history is lost to the moderns, mostly because they lack the knowledge to understand and unveil this history, and as a result it appears that there are no records of the time; the time prior to about the 5th or 6th century b.c.e. The truth though, is that such a timeline does exist, but it has become inaccessible to most scholars of history, as their methods are merely mechanical and material in nature, read "Hyperborea".

‡ While divine vengeance has different names in different traditions, it is well worth noting that divine vengeance exists for a good reason, to cleanse man from sin and from deceit, and to advance justice. Divine vengeance is also a universal reminder of the reborn world at the dawn of the remote future, or the resurrection of justice through what may appear to be brutal and harsh means, but nonetheless means that are necessary when the world has deviated so far from the righteous path, that nothing else is available, truly when the need to balance the scales of the celestial order has reached an acute and terminal stage. While this kind of brutality may seem harsh and evil, it is necessary at certain junctures, and at those times such brutality is righteous and good.

§ I have no intention of attempting to rectify the materialism of the Bible with the material mentality of modern man. If you believe in fundamentalism, you are never going to win, read "My Views on Fundamentalism", as you simply have lost dominion over the material realm; it would be as if to win against Satan in hell. Trying to win any material arguments about the nature and the existence of the ark itself is a complete waste of time, and what is lost upon everyone engaging in this dispute is, as always, true knowledge, read "Qualification".
