    "And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day." (v.8)

    God named heaven so our heavenly calling is not a random call. In separation of light from darkness his holiness set his seal of approval of the works of the light. "But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." Works of light therefore have transparency as it were. The reason is simple. It is wrought in God. The Holy Spirit gives us a clear proof: Believe in the Son who He sent. "Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. " (John6:29) By the same token the chief priests, elders and those who rejected him, hated the true Light that made their evil point an accusatory finger at them. " For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved."( John 3:20-21)

    The Spirit gives us a sequence of events coming under the second day. The Spirit moved upon the face of the waters sets of their own development so steam rising when the sun heats a body of water to form clouds or wind blowing owing to variation in pressures obey laws of nature. These laws are subject to the Word which is the Law. Word is a sign so the spirit works. "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit."( John 3:8) This invisible quality of the Spirit that any heart can hear is in harmony with holiness of God. It is thus God separated waters. Consequently mercy of God from above can work with the earth. The firmament is a face, which when the three magi looked at it saw the wondrous sign."Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east,"(Matt.2:1-2) It is thus deep calls unto the deep which is non verbal communication of the Spirit.
