Bible Correction: Hayah Signifies The Transition We Are In
I have written many times about the Hebrew word hayah (to be/ to become; Strong's 1961. See Bullinger's note on Genesis 1:2 in Companion Bible). Hayah is one of the most important words in the Bible. Its significance is transition. The Bible is full of transition from state to state. E.g., "As the Beginning (a state the Consciousness of the Ineffable had transitioned to), the Ineffable created (imagined) God (His spiritual governing actions), the heavens (mind), and the earth (transition to physicality)" (Genesis 1:1, my understanding of the original). God first planned where He was going. And then, hayah.
Hayah indicates transition. "And the earth was without form, and void" (Genesis 1:2a KJV). The word 'was' here is hayah. In 1:1, the earth was NOT without form and void; and 1:2 says it transitioned or became without form and void. Though it was planned, the earth was not even a physical reality as yet. It was still but a gleam in God's eye. So what happened?
Hayah. The Aramaic version of Genesis 1:2, as translated by Victor Alexander: "And the earth was for Him and by Him, and the darkness was over the face of infinite space, and the Spirit of God was over the layers of the water" (italics mine). The earth was FOR Him and BY Him, and for it to become Him, it had to enter the Ignorance for His nature to be generated from. As God, God had overcome His own ignorance. For the Manifestation to overcome to become as God, it would have to go through the same process! All development into Him would have to "come to pass" - hayah.
The fulfilling of this process was the hope of Israel. To get there, a messiah had to transition through death to get the reward of resurrection and ascension, i.e., back to God's intention. The "Gospel" is that reward. It was gotten. Is now freely given to those joined to the Ascended Messiah.
