How much can one verse of the bible communicate?
Genesis 1:1 reads:In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Over the years many have read and interpreted this in various ways. Here is what some of them had to say.
1. First it declares that God created the heavens and the earth:
- Thus it stresses that not big bang nor other physical forces created all that is there around us
- It also mentions that one God and not many Gods made everything - This is important as the Bible does acknowledge that there are other gods out there of which the devil is one. However, other versus in the bible clarifies of which one is supreme.
- The verse also speaks of Time (as there is a beginning), Space (heavens - not one but many) and Matter (earth) - As per our knowledge it was only in the 20th century that man confirmed of the basic components of the universe. The Bible (or the word of God) was just smart enough to declare it 2000 years earlier.
- This first verse in Hebrew Bible contains 7 words. Seven is considered as a number of completion in the bible. And there is triple intensification of the number 7 in this verse. To learn more about this watch the youtube video:

- Some of the stuff said in the above video may be laughed at, but there are serious stuff in it too.
- This is startling because it's a prophecy that would come true only 100's of years later.

Is it not powerful? Well there are many more things about this first verse of the Bible, but I will let you explore that. I think you have enough reason to start exploring with what is mentioned here. Know the true God. He created you and loves you.
