Fire, and the light from it, represents the Lord our Father, who is represented by the first letter and the first element (hydrogen) from which light was made on the first day. On the fourth day, the light was brought together into a physical form to represent Yeshua ha'Mashiach (see Jesus and Christ, good but not this site), the Lord in physical form. (Gen 1:3, 4, 5, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
Gas/air/sky/heaven (atmosphere) represents the spiritual/heavenly realm and man's intended home/tabernacle (second letter), being created on the second day within the clean (fresh water) living (moving) water above the Earth that was separated from the water below. Moving wind represents the Lord the Holy Spirit (Breath of life), who gives life to our earthly flesh. (Gen 1:6, 7, 8; 2:7)
Water with salt was over the entire surface of the earth in the beginning and is part of the physical/earthly tabernacle. Water was separated from water to become a tabernacle/home above and below with the sky/expanse (spiritual realm) within, making water a part of both the physical/earthly realm and the spiritual/heavenly realm. Water is the only chemical compound that naturally occurs on Earth as a solid, a liquid, and a gas. Water represents both the physical and spiritual realms with liquid water representing what is part of both realms at the same time. (Gen 1:1, 2)
Solid land (soil), which arose on the third day, represents the physical flesh of mankind made from the solid physical earth on the sixth day. (Gen 1:9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
Fire = day 1 (light made); day 4 (Sun & Moon and stars [stars are those who are part of the Lord's family] made) = Lord
Gas = day 2 (sky made); day 5 (birds made) = heavenly/spiritual (Gen 1:20, 21, 22, 23)
Liquid = day 2 (water divided); day 5 (fish made) = both heavenly/spiritual and earthly/physical
Solid = day 3 (dirt & plants & trees born); day 6 (man & animals made), (2x3 = man is tabernacle of earth) = physical (Gen 1:24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
day 1 = Fire, day 2 = sky & water, day 3 = earth, day 4 = physical living (moving) bodies/tabernacles made from the fire made on day 1, day 5 = physical living bodies/tabernacles made for the sky and sea made on day 2, day 6 = physical living bodies/tabernacles made from the earth made on day 3. Days 4, 5, & 6 are the second (tabernacle) set of days 1 through 3. (Gen 1:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31; 2:7)
