Deep Dive Into Scripture – Ep 5 – Gen 1 – Days TWO and FIVE

Fr. John and Danny show how Genesis days two and five depict God “erecting a roof” for His cosmic temple, separating the waters above from the waters below and filling them with birds and sea creatures. The firmament and celestial dome are described through metaphors that present creation as a purposeful, ordered home rather than a mechanistic system. These images remind us that biblical metaphors are essential for grasping creation’s meaning, inviting humanity to see the world as sacred space under God’s design.
