The six-day creation in the Bible is a prophetic creation, not an actual creation. The six days of creation show the creation of spiritual Israel beginning with Joshua, and spiritual Israel symbolizes the church. Therefore, the six days of creation are the creation of the church, not the actual creation. 


1) If we look at the history of the 6-day creation, God created light and darkness on the first day.


[Genesis 1:3~5] And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day 


God created light and darkness on the first day, but these are not real light and darkness. So what is the analogy of light and darkness? John testified to this, saying 


[John 1:4~9] In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. 


According to the biblical evidence, the light of the first day points to Yehoshua. And darkness is a metaphor for the Jews who resisted Joshua. Thus the light and darkness of the first day were prophesied metaphorically of Yehoshua and of the Jews. 


[Matthew 4:16~17] the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned." From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." 


​2) On the second day, He created water above the sky and water under the sky. The water above the sky is clouds, and the water below the sky is the sea. 


[Genesis 1:6~8] And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. 


So what do the sea and clouds represent? According to biblical evidence, Joshua died on the cross, was resurrected, and ascended into heaven, and the Bible metaphorically describes his ascension as riding on a cloud.. 


[Daniel 7:13~14] In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed. 


The cloud that the Bible testified to was the ascension of Yehoshua. However, Joshua's ascension alone cannot make many clouds. So many clouds are likened to the many saints in the Old Testament who ascended into heaven through the resurrection of Yehoshua. 


[Matthew 27:50~53] And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people. 


So the clouds that God created on the second day foreshadowed the resurrection and ascension of Joshua and the Old Testament saints: the clouds are the resurrected and ascended Old Testament saints, and the sea is a metaphor for the unsaved people of this world. 


3) God created the earth and the sea on the third day..


[Genesis 1:9~13] And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good. Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day. 


God separated the land from the sea and created trees and fruit-bearing saplings on the earth according to their kinds. However, this is not a prophecy of the actual creation, but of the early church, which was established by Joshua's Holy Spirit. In the Bible, seed-bearing grasses and fruit-bearing trees are likened to saints who have received the Holy Spirit. So the earth is the early church, and the fruit-bearing trees that grow on the earth symbolize saints who have received the Holy Spirit. Grain, described as a seed-bearing plant, is also likened to saints who have received the Holy Spirit. 


As we've already seen, the light of the first day is Joshua and the darkness is the Jews who oppose him; the clouds of the second day represent the Old Testament saints who ascended with Joshua after his resurrection; and the fruitful earth and trees of the third day represent the early church founded by Joshua and the saints who received the Holy Spirit. So the creation in six days foreshadows the creation of the churches beginning with Joshua. 


4) On the fourth day, He created the sun and moon in the sky and set the season, date, and year. 


[Genesis 1:14~19] And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning--the fourth day. 


The sun and moon in the sky are not the actual sun and moon. The sun is a metaphor of the Holy Spirit who rules the day, and the moon is a metaphor of the evil spirit that rules the night. If you look at the history of the church, heresy was absorbed in the latter days of the early church and divided into Eastern and Western churches. But God likened it to two lights. And God created a season for farming. In the Bible, farming refers to the work of salvation. Therefore, after dividing into Eastern and Western churches, another work of salvation that is compared to agriculture begins. Also, that the date and time have been set indicates that the harvest time has been set. 


The early church, founded by the Holy Spirit, eventually absorbed heresies and split into the Eastern and Western churches. This is why the Holy Spirit and evil spirits coexist in the church. God compares the coexistence of the Holy Spirit and evil spirits to tares and wheat, which grow together until the harvest. 


5) On the fifth day, God made all kinds of animals in the sea and on land. And God made the beast multiply. 


[Genesis 1:20~23] And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." And there was evening, and there was morning--the fifth day. 


God created all the beasts of the sea and the earth and made them multiply. But these are not real beasts. God described a Gentile named Cornelius as a four-legged beast, and the content is as follows. 


[Acts 10:9~28] About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. .....(28)He said to them: "You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with a Gentile or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean. So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?" 


Therefore, the four-legged beast and the birds of the air in the Bible are compared to Gentiles who believe in God. The sea beast created on the fourth day refers to the Catholic Church established after the Eastern and Western churches. And the beast that appeared on earth refers to the church of God that appeared after the Catholic Church. Daniel prophesied Catholicism and the Church of God with the two little horns. Therefore, the beasts of the sea and land created on the fifth day are metaphorical descriptions of Catholicism and the Church of God. 


6) God created man in the image of God on the sixth day. 


[Genesis 1:26~31] Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it--I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day. 


The man and woman that God created on the sixth day are not actual people, but two witnesses who have received God's Holy Spirit. Before the kingdom of God comes, two prophets who have received God's Holy Spirit will appear and rule over the church. Therefore, the creation on the sixth day showed that two witnesses would appear. 


Through the six days of creation, God showed the creation of spiritual Israel, that is, the church that begins with Yehoshua. In summary: 


1. Light and Darkness - The Appearance of Yehoshua and the Jews Against Yehoshua


2. Clouds and Seas - Clouds depict the resurrection of Yehoshua and the resurrection of the Old Testament saints. And the unsaved human society is portrayed as a sea.


3. Land and sea - Describe the early church and human society established by the Holy Spirit.


4. the sun and moon - prophesied the division of the church into the Eastern and Western churches after the early church..


5. Sea and land animals - depicts Catholicism and the Church of God represented by two little horns


6. the creation of man and woman - which prophesied the appearance of two witnesses who received God's Holy Spirit to rule over all the churches.


Therefore, the six-day creation shows the creation of the churches that began with Yehoshua. Yehoshua came to Israel and preached the word of God. But the Jews resisted Yehoshua and put him to death on a cross. Yehoshua was resurrected, and through this, the saints who died while believing in God in the Old Testament times ascended to heaven. The Bible compares them to clouds. Yehoshua ascended to heaven and gave the Holy Spirit to establish the early church. However, at the end of the church, heresy was absorbed and the church was divided into Eastern and Western churches. God described it as the sun and the moon. After the Eastern and Western churches were divided, the Western Church unified the Eastern Church. And its name was changed to the Catholic Church. 


Catholicism flourished rapidly, and the Bible describes them as beasts of the sea. However, as the Reformers confronted Catholicism, Catholicism lost its power. And after Catholicism, a religious organization called the Church of God was established. The Bible describes them as beasts created from the earth. Daniel prophesied the Antichrist, two little horns that symbolized the Catholic Church and the Church of God. Therefore, the beasts of the sea and land prophesied Catholicism and the Church of God. When it is darkened by the sins of the church, two witnesses who have received the Holy Spirit of God appear. The Bible describes them as humans created in the image of God. Therefore, the Genesis account of creation in six days prophesied not the actual creation, but the creation of the Church, which was established beginning with Joshua.
