The sea, often seen as a symbol of chaos in ancient Near Eastern cultures, is under God's control, highlighting His authority over all creation. <a href="/genesis/1-9.htm">Genesis 1:9-10</a> describes God's creation of the seas, affirming His ownership. The sea's vastness and mystery are contrasted with God's intimate knowledge and command over it, as seen in <a href="/job/38-8.htm">Job 38:8-11</a>. This also prefigures Jesus' authority over nature, demonstrated when He calmed the storm in <a href="/mark/4-39.htm">Mark 4:39</a>, showing His divine nature.<p><b>and His hands formed the dry land</b><br>This part of the verse underscores God's craftsmanship and intentionality in creation. The imagery of God's "hands" suggests a personal and deliberate act, contrasting with the impersonal forces of nature. <a href="/genesis/1-9.htm">Genesis 1:9-10</a> also details the formation of dry land, reinforcing the idea of God's purposeful design. The dry land is essential for human habitation and sustenance, reflecting God's provision. This creative act is a type of Christ, who is described as the agent of creation in <a href="/john/1-3.htm">John 1:3</a> and <a href="/colossians/1-16.htm">Colossians 1:16</a>, further affirming His divine role and preeminence in all things.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The Creator and Sovereign Lord, who is the central figure in this verse, emphasizing His ownership and creative power over the earth.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_sea.htm">The Sea</a></b><br>Represents the vast and powerful bodies of water, symbolizing God's control over the chaotic and untamed aspects of creation.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/d/dry_land.htm">Dry Land</a></b><br>Refers to the earth's solid ground, highlighting God's craftsmanship and provision for human habitation.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_over_creation.htm">God's Sovereignty Over Creation</a></b><br>Recognize that God is the ultimate authority over all creation, including the sea and dry land.
