6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters (Genesis 1:6).
God’s plans for creation were complete from the beginning. He created heaven and earth as distinct places. Water is clearly a sign of life and as such God surrounds life with water. The uses of water as both an agent of life, and as we know from the flood, destruction, is likely thought of in this early verse from Genesis. The division of the waters in this verse is an interesting distinction. Also, this may symbolize the water from heaven that cleanses sin as we are are savewater and the Spirit.
