The Bible

 

Genesis 1:5

Study

       

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first Day.

Commentary

 

Resurrection, the first

  

'The first resurrection,' mentioned in Revelation 20:5, 6, does not mean a first resurrection, but the essence and primary part of resurrection, which is salvation and eternal life. There is only one resurrection to life. A second does not happen, and is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible.

Commentary

 

Face of the deep

  

The face of the deep (Genesis 1:2) signifies the lust of the unregenerate man, and the falsities that originate from it.

(References: Arcana Coelestia 018, Genesis 1)
