Analysis of In The Beginning
Everything has a beginning.
Sometimes we do not see because we are preoccupied by slefishness.
Things have been prepared for us since the beginning, it didn't just appear carelessly and without thought.
Look the sun had not yet appeared, and when it did the first day started, the moon appeared and then started the month as the earth just watched.
In the heavens were angels singing when they came into being.
The earth was void til wisdom made land, rivers and sea and much more complicated scenes.
Man came forth alas, having it all prepared carefully so he may live.
