![]() ![]() While the Promised Land was to extend “from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines and from the wilderness to the River ,” the description of the dominion of the coming Messianic King as being “from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth” would apparently refer to the entire globe. according to their kinds.” Also in the record of the ‘sixth day’ and the creation of land animals, God is represented as saying: “Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds.” God did not command the sea to put forth living things for the land, or let these things evolve from the sea, but “God proceeded to make” each kind to suit the habitat each was to occupy.- Ge 1:24, 25. For the account also says that “God proceeded to create. ![]() In saying “Let the waters swarm,” God was not leaving the emergence of life to the seas themselves, to bring forth some primeval form from which all other animals evolved. ![]() With that God blessed them, saying: ‘Be fruitful and become many and fill the waters in the sea basins, and let the flying creatures become many in the earth.’ And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a fifth day.”- Ge 1:20-23. It reads: “And God went on to say: ‘Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls and let flying creatures fly over the earth upon the face of the expanse of the heavens.’ And God proceeded to create the great sea monsters and every living soul that moves about, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind. The Genesis account reports that sea life and flying creatures were the first animal life on earth. ( Ro 10:6, 7 compare De 30:12, 13.) In the symbols of Revelation, “the wild beast that ascends out of the abyss” ( Re 11:7) is said, at Revelation 13:1, to ascend out of “the sea.”-See ABYSS.
