Creation Prophecy

Bible prophecy begins in Genesis 1 with the creation account in which each day of creation foretold a new chapter of salvation history ahead of time. God's work on each new day of creation connects directly with the imagery used to introduce each new chapter or era of salvation history, to show how Jesus is revealed progressively in seven steps which represents the journey of salvation.

The diagram below shows that each day of creation connects with two eras or chapters of biblical history as the life of Jesus is revealed progressively from Genesis to the Kingdom of Israel, which mirrors from the Kingdom to Revelation. The mirroring effect is called a ‘chiasm’. The rainbow colours give perfect colour co-ordination in the manner described in Revelation 4v3, “and around the throne was a rainbow…” Therefore Genesis one can be seen as a prophecy.

The 6 day creation account confirms the Chiasm of Biblical Testimonies (third diagram) is accurate by introducing the theme for each new era as a major revelation of Jesus. The structure of biblical history with each progressive revelation of Jesus was planned by God in the very beginning. The pattern reveals Jesus in mirroring seven step patterns. It relates to our spiritual journey revealing six chapters of life experienced during our personal journey of faith in this world. It also appears to foretell the apocalyptic journey of the final generation as presented on another chart to be shown below in due course.

In the Beginning God: (Violet)
The alpha and omega, the first and the last, and for many churches it is the liturgical colour of Advent and Lent.
Genesis 1: “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.” — Gen 1v2

Day 1: Indigo (The early morning sunrise colour.)
Genesis 1: God created light and separated the light from the darkness.
Prophesying Adam & Eve who are to be mirrored by the Final Generation
Adam and Eve sinned. Good and evil is like light and darkness.
God declares the end from the beginning. Nuclear war will bring a curse, the pollution will be like the curse of original sin, not the end but the birth of the end times. We will understand that we are broken.
Step 1 of 7 — We are born in sin (Psalm 51v5).

Day 2: Blue
Genesis 1: God created the heavens separating the waters above from the waters below.
Prophesying Noah’s Flood which mirrors Jesus & the Church
Like Noah’s Flood, a baptism (1 Peter 3v21).
Jesus came down from above and washed the world clean.
The church was born, a baptism in the holy Spirit.
Step 2 of 7 — Forgiveness.

Day 3: Green
Genesis 1: God created dry land, and vegetation, especially seed bearing plants, and fruit with seed. Emphasis on seed.
Prophesying the call of Abram which mirrors the return of Ezra, both coming out of Babylon.
Abram and Ezra moved to the land to be fruitful. It is through the seed of Abraham that the promises come.
Ezra returned with Zerubbabel. The name Zerubbabel means, ‘sown from Babylon’. The seed re-established in the land.
Step 3 of 7 — By acting in faith through repentance we become fruitful.

Day 4: Yellow
Genesis 1: God created the sun, the moon and the stars.
Prophesying Israel in Egypt which mirrors Israel in Babylon.
When Israel went down to Egypt, the sun, the moon and the eleven stars bowed down to Joseph for he saved them from the famine. In Egypt they multiplied greatly from 70 to about two million, to become as numerous as the stars of the sky, a picture of evangelism.
Jeremiah 31 is filled with birth imagery, and God’s covenant will endure for as long as the sun, the moon and the stars (v35-36).
Step 4 of 7 — We multiply to become as numerous as the stars of the sky. (Evangelism).

Day 5: Orange
Genesis 1: God created the fish and the birds.
Prophesying the wilderness journey which mirrors the remnant during the Assyrian time.
The Exodus took Israel through the sea, and God said, “I bore you on Eagles wings and brought you to myself.” (Ex 19v4).
The Assyrians came like a flooding river, “it will overflow and pass on, reaching even to the neck, and it’s outspread wings will fill the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.” — Isaiah 8v8. (Fish and birds).
Step 5 of 7 — Life is short, it flows on and flies away, (Old age).

Day 6: Red
Genesis 1: God created living creatures and mankind.
Prophesying the times of the Judges of Israel which mirrors the time of the Kings.
When Joshua entered the land the waters of the Jordan river stopped flowing and rose up in a heap “at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan” — Joshua 3v16. Jesus is the last Adam (1 Cor 15v45). Zarethan means ‘tribulation’. Jesus took our punishment so that we may cross over into the promised land. The remaining waters flowed on into the dead sea.
Kings and Judges relates to death and judgement.
Step 6 of 7 — Man’s number is six because we are mortal, we fall short. Because of sin we die.

Day 7: All the colours added together make white light. Or when printed on paper all the colours make black. White or black represents heaven or hell. The journey of life leads either to heaven or hell.
Genesis 1: God rested.
Prophesying the Kingdom of Israel, King David and Solomon were the pinnacle of the history of Israel. God commanded Israel to rest on the seventh day, and seventh year, and ultimately the seventh millennium.
The Kingdom of Israel is symbolic for the heavenly Kingdom of God, the new creation.
Step 7 of 7 — The journey of salvation is complete.

The Seven Step Testimony Reveals Jesus

The chiastic pattern resembles a temple, and also the life of Jesus, for he is the temple (John 2v19). Jesus is described as various important stones in the temple as shown in the diagram below.

The Seven Step Testimony diagram illustrates the chiastic structure of the Bible and shows the journey of salvation in detail. The diagram was created after studying simple three step patterns of birth - life - death and resurrection as shown in the third diagram, Chiasm of Biblical Testimonies.

Chiasm of Biblical Testimonies

By studying Biblical moments of birth we can find ‘lived testimonies’ that reveal the whole life of Jesus in symbolic form, typologically. The Chiasm of Biblical Testimonies diagram below shows a series of three step patterns of birth - life - death and resurrection. There are thirteen big testimonies in Scripture, or fourteen if we include God’s work of creation. There are also many more echo patterns within these testimonies, only a few of which are shown on the diagram below.

Inspiration for this diagram came through a love of Scripture, and with the help of some dreams and visions which awakened me to the nearness of the end times birth. Each moment of birth begins a ‘lived testimony’ that reveals Jesus in the large patterns of history. The chiastic structure of the Bible allows for the testimonies in the first half to be confirmed in the second half. Links to articles on each individual testimony are available on the Chiasm of Biblical Testimonies page.

To produce the seven step testimonies the three step patterns were simplified as shown below. The colours were put in reverse order with white in the middle after noticing the connections with the Genesis 1 creation account. When the colours of the rainbow are added together the outcome is either black or white depending on whether the colours shine or absorb light. Therefore our journey in this world leads to either heaven or hell.

By rotating the diagram 90 degrees we get a kind of temple structure which can be interpreted as revealing both Jesus and the journey of faith.

The seven step testimony diagram is better explained on the Chiasm of Biblical Testimonies page. There the symmetry is discussed in which the themes and movements of God’s people are seen to mirror. Some basic observations include the forgiveness of Jesus and outpouring of his Spirit with the birth of the Church mirrors Noah’s flood. In step three both Abram and Ezra moved from Babylon to God’s land. In step four God sends his people out to the world, Egypt and Babylon to multiply. There are many more parallels to observe.

The Journey of the Final Generation

Prophecy is true on multiple levels. On the large scale Biblical history is understood to span 7000 years. Many discuss the events of the final seven years in which the judgements of God are revealed. The chart below looks at what the pattern of prophecy reveals about a life long journey for the final generation.

The Destruction of Creation — Revelation 16

The end of the world in Revelation 16 is described in terms that connect with the themes found in both the six day creation account and the biblical moments of birth in the chiasm of world history.

Revelation 16v1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

FIRST BOWL
2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful sores came upon the people who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
— Step one: Adam & Eve suffered the curse of original sin, with pain, thorns and thistles in chapter one of biblical history. The knowledge of good and evil (creation of day and night).

SECOND BOWL
3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing died that was in the sea.
— Step two: The separation of the waters / Noah’s flood

THIRD BOWL
4 The third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.
— Step three: The vegetation created on day three depends on fresh waters / The boundaries of the land promised to Abram was defined by the Nile and Euphrates rivers (Gen 15v18).

5 And I heard the angel in charge of the waters say, “Just are you, O Holy One, who is and who was, for you brought these judgments. 6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. It is what they deserve!” 7 And I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are your judgments!”

FOURTH BOWL
8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. 9 They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.
— Step four: The creation of the sun, moon and stars which later were to bow down to Joseph as the Egypt chapter began.

FIFTH BOWL
10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish 11 and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores. They did not repent of their deeds.
— Step five: The creation of the fish and the birds which may relate to the two kingdoms; the kingdom above and the kingdom below. The throne of the beast is that of leviathan, Rahab, the sea monster, or the beast that comes out of the sea (Dan 7v3, Rev 13v1) and rules the people of the world. Jesus used the imagery of fishing for men to describe evangelism, to bring people into the kingdom of heaven.
As for birds, the Holy Spirit is presented as a dove. In Revelation 12 the woman (God’s people) escape by flying with the two wings of a great eagle into the wilderness which is the location of the fifth ‘lived testimony’, the 40 year journey to the promised land which began when God brought the Israelites out of Egypt through the sea (baptism / fish 1 Cor 10v2) and on eagles wings (Exodus 19v4). Therefore fish and birds may represent two kingdoms, the kingdom above and the kingdom below, and in Revelation 16 we see God’s judgement fall on the throne of the beast which had come up out of the sea, but was based on a lie.

SIXTH BOWL
12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. 14 For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
— Step six: Death and judgement, the final battle where Gog and Magog are destroyed (Ezekiel 38-39).

SEVENTH BOWL
17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.
— Step seven: God rested (It is done).
