Well, I hope this little story I have retold serves to better understand what
that vision, that revelation might have been.
We now have a clearer idea about what could have happened, what he had actually
narrated and about one more thing: the reason for the days.
When I thought about writing the story of what the observer saw, I immediately
considered the dilemma of the seven days. I thought: what if the seven days were
not Godīs days but the observerīs? Or both? Again-what if ...?.
And yes, it would make sense. It is a lot of information to receive in one day
and also if it was given to the observer in seven sessions, we could consider
that the narrative was told in seven days. Maybe that was the case because God
probably desired to generate the need to divide the narrative by days, because
there is a reason for the seven days -from a religious point of view- which we
will discuss below.
Letīs see the religious side of the story.
The first thing the sacred author says is: "In the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth"; in this phrase he gives us the key that we must use to
understand the text, and in turn, he tries to express the synthesis of
everything that he is going to describe in detail. We have seen that by
integrating heavens and earth he attempts to cover everything, all that exist;
and that by mentioning heavens and earth again at the end, he draws our
attention to the purely human and earthly perspective of the narrator.
It is also possible that, due to the fact the word kosmos is of Greek origin;
and because in the Hebrew language there is no word that corresponds exactly to
that idea, he uses this redundancy of heavens and earth. For me, it is clear
that by bundling everything he is including the intangible, as the world of
ideas and the laws governing the systems..
