1.      How Divine Speech Shapes Creation

  • God’s ten utterances were used to create the world and reveal His presence in the physical realm.
  • These utterances acted as a way to send divine energy into the world to bring it to life.

  • Just like humans express emotions through thoughts and words, God’s attributes also work in creation through similar means.
  • Human thought and speech help reveal actions, and in a symbolic way, this mirrors how divine powers are connected to creation.

3.      How Letters Play a Role in Creation

  • Even though letters are not physical, they represent God’s power to create various elements of the world.
  • For example, the phrase “Let there be light” brought sunlight into existence, while other phrases created water and other aspects of nature.

4.      Types of Worlds Created

  • Some worlds are “hidden” and get their life from powers that are not openly visible—like thoughts that remain inside someone’s mind.
  • Other worlds are “revealed,” where hidden powers are turned into actions, like speaking words aloud for everyone to hear.

5.      The Power of God’s Words

  • When God’s hidden powers are expressed, it’s like His speech bringing ideas into reality. These words sustain all life and make the physical world come alive.
