Amos

Not unique at all because it is plastered all over in Catholic churches so it can be observed by the rest of the world. In other words, it is basic Catholic theology explained in their rather extensive library of art works and each piece of art has a story to tell.

One of the strongest point in Gen.1 is the 7 days of creation on which evening followed each day (NAB) except on the 7th day when evening did not follow the day (by inference). The seventh day is called Sunday because evening did not follow the day. This theme creates the plan of salvation that comes full cirlce in Gen.2 on the seventh day. For the Jews it was Saterday because they are still awaiting for the seventh day. We follow the example set by Jesus who rose on the seventh day that lasted for two days because evening did not follow that day. That is, from Friday to Sunday-Sunday (Sunday for-2-days) is 3 days.

In Gen.2 10-14 the plan of salvation is brougth into action with the river that divides into four branches. The first two are our involutionary period werein we wander between pleasure and pain while in pursuit of power wealth and beauty. The last two are evolutionary. The first one rises in the East as we look back on life and possible end up in the Eu- phrates = bright-mind in the end.

Gen. 1-3 is crammed with metaphor. Notice how woman was taken from man in Gen.2 instead of being created. This shows that woman has no existence of being other than the womb of man which is the TOK wherein man is procreated in the image of God (or vice versa). Later, this same woman is Mary who is Assumed into Heaven and crowned Queen of heaven and earth. All this means is that for NT people the TOK is placed subservient to the TOL and we journey the second part of our life by intuition while reaosn prevails.
