A primary assumption of Geocreationism is that God the Father made the pronouncements recorded in Genesis 1, and Jesus responded by removing the insurmountable hindrance otherwise preventing the Father’s will.

For example, on Day 1, God told Jesus to “let there be light”.  So, Jesus did, by removing the causes of what was a dark and rainy sky.  On Day 2, God told Jesus to “Let there be a firmament.” So, Jesus did, by stopping the turbulent rain that occupied all the space between the clouds and the seas.  On Day 3, God told Jesus to “Let the waters be gathered into one place,” to “let dry land appear,” and to “let the earth bring forth grass” and seeded plants.  So, Jesus did, …

Genesis 1:2 - “Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters.” (Soncino Press)

When the earth was covered with water, waiting for God to transform it into world abounding with life, God’s spirit hovered overhead.  We have scientifically established this point in history to have occurred about 3.9 billion years ago (Ga), and theologically established that God’s physical earthly presence always takes form as Jesus.  Jesus, speaking through Solomon in Proverbs, even testified to His own presence.

Though we know that Jesus was present, Genesis 1:2 states that it was the spirit of God that was hovering over the waters.  If …

The Geocreationist position is that Jesus is God’s proxy on earth.  If true, then interpreting the Creation Account becomes a lot easier.  After all, if Jesus was physically here to see it, then it lets us interpret the creation account from a more informed perspective.  However, even this isn’t enough, because while the perspective might be Jesus’, the writing came from Moses.  We need some basis for interpreting Moses’ writing, not just the events that it records.  Fortunately, scripture provides us with that basis.  We will start with a well-known event in the New Testament, and then tie it to the Old (Emphasis added):
Now after six days, Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up on a high …

Understanding Jesus’ submission to God the Father can help us understand the Creation account better, by giving us insight into how He and the Father work together.  In fact, Jesus Himself provides some of this insight in His Sermon on Mount (emphasis added):
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”(Matthew 5:16)
Love your enemies, “…that you may be sons of your Father in heaven…”  and “…perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.  Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them.  Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.”

When you pray, start your prayers as such: …

In the beginning, before the first creative pronouncement, there was God; and as we have seen, this means more than geology or tradition suggest.  In the single wonderful word Elohim, is described Jesus, playing a distinct creative role with the Father, a distinctly submissive role.  It was through Jesus that the Father created everything.  Given God’s sovereignty and omnipotence, this may not appear strictly necessary to us.  However, it demonstrates the relationship that defined Jesus’ earthly ministry, and is continuing today, even unto eternity.  Jesus described this relationship himself when He told the following parable:
A certain man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it, and did …

What do we know about “in the beginning?”  Well, after the beginning, we know that the heavens and the earth were there.  Before the beginning, there was only God.  But, what existed in between, that is, in the beginning, other than God?  As is often the case, where God provides a question in the Old Testament, He provides an answer in the New.  In this case, the answer is in John 1:1-3…
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”
In the beginning, Jesus was with God.  Knowing this, what …

Genesis 1:1 - “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

Having previously discussed the Geocreationist history of Genesis 1:1, let us now discuss who was there.  This is important, because it will help us interpret the rest of Genesis 1.

“In the beginning, God…”, or Elohim as it is renderred in the Hebrew.  There is much commentary on what Elohim means, and so I will only summarize it here.  The Jewish perspective is that Elohim, a plural form of God’s name, is an expression of His majesty and unequaled greatness.  This view is in fact true.  However, the Christian view is true as well, that Elohim is written as a plurarity because of God’s plural nature: …
