GENESIS 2:1
Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. [Genesis 2:1 NKJV]
The creation of the heavens, the earth, and everything in them was complete. [FBV]
Bible Teacher:
When God saw everything He made was very good in the sixth day, was when the Heavens, the Earth, and all their hosts, were finished or completed. "Everything is Very Good" meant "All things are finished." The reason is because all things would not be complete if something or some things in them are lacking or unmade. We all must come together to the completion or perfection, for all things to be fulfilled or completed. This was in God's View.
For He was not just working "Redemption" but basically working "Creation;" neither was He in the act of "Selection" but was in act of "Collation." It was a Collative Creation God wrought in the beginning, not a selective creation. Hence, God made "All Things," and not just "Some Things."
Commentaries:
Understand the difference between "God Created them" and "God Made them" — It was in the beginning that Created the heavens and the earth, but it was in six days that God made the heavens and the earth.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth according to "Genesis 1:1." But in six days God made the heavens and the earth, and the host of them according to "Exodus 20:11."
Creating all things was just the beginning and step to making all things in the first and largest "Project," but which was completed or finished in six days or less than a week.
Bible Teacher:
The creation that was without form but void, when God began to create it in the beginning, has now attained full completion, well finished and very good, having inhabitants or Hosts already occupying and utilizing the facilities in the project.
Therefore, this completion was a "Tested Completion," because there were hosts in them or users/occupants in them already using the facilities; and all facilities were fully functional and working: — God saw everything was very good, before He declared "It is finished."
There were man-made projects mankind declared finished or completed, and even ceremonially commissed into operations and uses, before those projects began hosting people or users in them. And then those people, tenants or users, later found some things not working well or found errors in those so called completed projects that were already declared finished or completed. These happened because they were not tested or test-ran for those they were meant for when they were made, before they were finished, published or celebrated as completed.
Such were the man-made finished projects/products that are having "Forms" but yet "Void." Having Forms but Void (Empty) means 'complete' but not tested or occupied by inhabitants, users, occupants, tenants or people. In the beginning, the earth was both formless and void: — But God used the first three days to fix the formlessness of the Project, making the Project (Heaven and Earth) fully formed in three days: And then God used the next three days in fixing the Void or emptiness of the Project, making the Project (Heaven, Earth and Seas) filled with hosts, occupants, users or inhabitants. — And God was watching as all the facilities were fully functional and working for those users or inhabitants therein, and made necessary adjustment. Then on the sixth day, God saw everything He made, and behold everything was very good.
Therefore, the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. [Genesis 2:1]
Commentaries:
Understand this about God: He does not just release or publish what He Himself has not tested, verified or witnessed. The Lord Jesus Christ taught what He Himself already began to do or practice. The Lord is not just a Creator or Maker, but also a "Partaker and User-friendly." He checks the Workability and User-friendliness of His Products, Projects or Preachings, before Publication.
Be like Him. Do not just produce things and market/publish them without reviewing, testing or tasting, as the end-user what it is like to use or receive what you yourself is releasing out to others. And you the writer of these Commentaries; begin to review your writings carefully before you publish to avoid errors, and don't tell people to do what you yourself are not doing or not intending to doing. It's not just about speed, but also about accuracy, forming excellence. Behold the "Speed, Accuracy and Excellence" in God completing the entire Heavens, Earth and their Hosts, in six days.
