Jubilees 2:4 and Bereshith 1:6–8
2.1 DAY 2 – WORK 8— The Only Work of Day 2: Creation of the Firmament and the Division of the Waters
Jubilees 2:4
“And on the second day He created the firmament in the midst of the waters,
and the waters were divided on that day,
half of them went up above and half of them went down below the firmament
that was in the midst over the face of the whole earth.
And this was the only work Êlôhîym created on the second day.”
Bereshith 1:6–7 (Dabar Yahuah – Yahuah Scriptures)
“And Êlôhîym said, ‘Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.’
And Êlôhîym made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.”
2.2 — What Is the Firmament? (Raqia)
The Hebrew word used in Bereshith is raqia (רקיע), meaning: an expanse, a stretched-out structure, a fixed arch, a solid dome-like expanse, something beaten out or spread out like hammered metal. This is not empty space — it is a created structure with purpose, order, and spiritual significance.
In ancient Hebrew view:
The firmament is the divider between the heavenly waters and the earthly waters, the boundary of the visible sky, the foundation for the heavenly lights (Day 4), the “curtain” separating realms, the platform upon which the heavens are structured. It is both celestial and spiritual, physical yet symbolic.
2.3 — What Yahuah Actually Did on Day 2
Jubilees explains the process in detail — far more than Genesis:
A. He created the firmament “in the midst of the waters”
Before the firmament, everything was water. Creation was submerged in the primal deep.
B. He physically separated the waters
Jubilees says Yahuah divided the waters equally: half went above the firmament, half remained below the firmament. This explains why the heavens are often described as “the waters above.”
C. The firmament covered “the face of the whole earth”
It was not a local event. It was global, stretching over the entire world.
D. This was the only work of Day 2
Day 1 had seven works. Day 2 had only one — but a monumental one. Yahuah created order, a boundary, and a celestial separation.
2.4 — Why Did Yahuah Divide the Waters?
This division is one of the most symbolic events in all Scripture. It represents separation between realms: Heaven above, Earth below. Just as on Day 1 He separated light from darkness, now on Day 2 He separates heaven from earth.
It represents the establishment of divine boundaries: no water above can descend unless Yahuah opens the windows of heaven (as in the Flood). No water below can rise unless Yahuah commands it. No human being can rise outside of firmament, but the only one who came from shamayin, Yahusha — other than that, NO ONE can ever step out of the earth. NO ONE, EVER.
It represents the creation of spiritual authority zones: above the firmament → heavenly realm; below the firmament → earthly realm.
It represents the prophetic blueprint of the Tabernacle: the firmament functions like a veil separating the Holy Place from the Most Set-Apart Place.
It represents the foundation for the prophetic times: on Day 4, the sun, moon, and stars will be set “in the firmament.” Thus Day 2 prepares the stage for the heavenly calendar.
2.5 — The Spiritual Significance of the Firmament
This act reveals many deep truths.
A. Heaven and Earth Are Not Equal Realms
Heaven is above → the realm of Yahuah, His throne, His malakim.
Earth is below → the realm given to mankind.
“The shamayim are the shamayim of Yahuah, but the earth He has given to the children of men.”
— Tehillim 115:16
Some do not understand this reality and have been falsely taught of the false hope of man going to heaven, but I regret to inform you that no man can ever nor will ever go to heaven. The earth is for men and that is why that heaven will descent to earth for man to live with Yahuah forever, but the false notion of men going to heaven, has never been a biblical concept.
B. The Firmament Is a Witness
Like a covenant witness, it stands as a testimony of Yahuah’s separation between what is holy and what is common, the divine realm and the earthly realm, the spiritual and the physical, the pure and the profane.
C. The Firmament Is a Barrier Against Chaos
Before creation was ordered, water symbolized chaos. By dividing it, Yahuah brought creation under complete control.
D. The Firmament Is the Pathway of Revelation
All visions of heaven in Scripture involve the opening of the firmament: Yachezqêl saw the heavens opened, Chănôk saw multiple heavens, Yôchânân saw the heavens opened, Yahusha ascended through the heavens. This shows that prophetic revelation comes through the boundary Yahuah established on Day 2.
2.6 — Why Day 2 Has No “And It Was Good”
This is one of the mysteries of Bereshith.
Day 1 — “It was good”
Day 3 — “It was good” (twice!)
Day 4 — “It was good”
Day 5 — “It was good”
Day 6 — “It was very good”
But Day 2 has no such declaration. Why?
Because on Day 2 Yahuah created division, not completion. The firmament is a boundary — a separation — a veil. The work is good, holy, and perfect, but it is not a completed creation. Day 2 forms the structure (firmament), but Day 4 will fill it (luminaries).
Just as Adam formed on Day 6, Chawwâh completed on Day 6 after, Eden planted after Adam, etc. Yahuah forms → then fills. Day 2 is the forming stage, Day 4 is the filling stage.
2.7 — How Day 2 Prepares the Way for Humanity
Humanity cannot exist without atmosphere, regulated climate, protection from celestial forces, water cycles, boundaries between realms, separation between spiritual dimensions. The firmament is literally the protective architecture enabling human life.
It also establishes the principle that:
Man cannot break the boundaries Yahuah has set. Which becomes crucial when the Watchers descend in the days of Yarad — angels crossing boundaries they were never meant to cross. Breaking or crossing Yahuah’s boundaries will always have huge consequences.
2.8 — The Firmament and the Plan of Redemption
The firmament embodies the entire Gospel pattern: a separation exists between heaven and earth, humanity cannot cross it, sin deepens the veil, Yahusha tears the veil, heaven becomes accessible again, restoration reunites what Day 2 separated. The tearing of the temple veil at the death of Yahusha is a direct reversal of Day 2’s boundary for the redeemed.
2.9 — DAY 2 — Final Summary
The One Great Work: Creation of the Firmament and Separation of the Waters
- Yahuah created the firmament (raqia) in the middle of the waters.
- He divided the waters evenly: above and below.
- He established heaven and earth as separate realms.
- He created the celestial order that sustains life.
- He formed the boundary between physical and spiritual dimensions.
- He set the stage for the lights of Day 4.
- This was the only work of Day 2 — forming, not filling.
Day 2 is the day of structure, boundary, separation, and preparation for the unfolding of creation and redemption.
