THE GENESIS OF NEW CREATION

John's Gospel is different than Matthew, Mark and Luke. The other three parallel in many ways and in events. You often read the same accounts in all three

BUT GOSPEL OF JOHN IS DIFFERENT

In the Gospel of John there is mention of "the next day" in verses, 29, 35, 43.

John 1:29 The next day ...
John 1:35
Again the next day ...
John 1:43
The day following ...

DAY ONE

JOHN 1:1-14

From verse 1 to 14 we see Genesis Day 1 in spiritual terms, which in Genesis involved God speaking forth LIGHT.

God told Adam to be fruitful and to multiply Romans 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, [even] to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. He comes and there is light. Genesis 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

1 John 1:6-7 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. DAY TWO

JOHN 1:15-28 is DAY TWO of Genesis 1
In John, John the Baptist BAPTIZES people bearing witness of JESUS, the LIGHT. John 1:15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: DAY THREE

JOHN 1:29 -34

But after this day comes the THIRD DAY

Jesus comes into the picture. John 1:32-33 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. Romans 8:15-16 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: Genesis 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so.


DAY FOUR

JOHN 1:35-42

Genesis spoke of heavens this time

After Jesus resurrected, He ASCENDED .

John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

In John 1:35-42 we see the fourth day. Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Galatians 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

As sun is Jesus and the Moon reflects His glory, the Bride, the corporate Church and the stars are the individual children or people in the church, we follow Him and this FAMILY is a light to the world.

JACOB heard Joseph's dream and said this:

Genesis 37:9-10 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. And he told [it] to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What [is] this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?

MOON:

Psalm 89:37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

SUN:

Malachi 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

Psalm 19:4-6 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

STARS:

Philippians 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

DAY FIVE

JOHN- 1:43-51

DAY SIX:

JOHN 2:1-11

ADAM MADE in IMAGE OF GOD

John 2:11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Sons of God must mature to be glorified

Hebrews 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Romans 8:19-20 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

2 Thessalonians 2:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

AND IT WAS VERY GOOD .

And then SEVENTH DAY REST

JOHN 2:12

John 2:12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days. ADAM'S HISTORY REPEATED BY THE LAST ADAM

After Genesis' account of creation, we read Adam's life. Same as in John. We read Jesus' search for His bride after the account of the Genesis of New Creation.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

He needs a BRIDE born of the SPIRIT like He was

John Baptist says:

John 3:29-30 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease.

Than Jesus speaks of others getting eternal life

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

All animals came before Adam in Gen. 2:18-23
