Genesis 1:1 In the beginning created, Elohim את the heavens וְאת and the earth. C-MATS
Question: Who made the heavens and the earth?Genesis 1:1 links the working of יהוה through את Messiah as the Creator as John states in John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. 2 The same was in the beginning with Elohim. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

Question: What does the word created mean, “In the beginning created, Elohim”? The Hebrew verb bara (“created”) employed by this verse specifically means the creation of something from nothing. Chumash
Question: When did time begin? In the beginning (1:1) refers to the beginning of time –the first, indivisible moment, before which time did not exist. Time was the first creation; thus the first commandment is the dedication of time by setting the months and seasons of the Hebrew calendar. Chumash
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was (became) chaos and void; and darkness was over the surfaces of the abyss. The Spirit of Elohim vibrated (moved, hovered) over the surface of the waters. C-MATS
Question: Who is “the Spirit of Elohim”?Genesis 1:2 gives us a key to understanding the Ruach ha-Kodesh (Sacred-Set apart Spirit) which is above the surface of the waters and is actually a manifestation and working of יהוה in Spirit. Insight to this is when Yahusha says in John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you…15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeded from the Father, He shall testify of Me…14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things…14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever.” Both יהוה and את our Messiah works together as ONE.
