Hi there,
So I have arrived at the idea, that God established Eden as He said, Creating and Calling "Good", then allowing Change and Restarting. What I wanted to point out, is that this is a pattern. It is a pattern on the basis of the idea, that God kept moving through the Creation of Days, assigning each Day its own purpose and context, then giving it its own time and relation, viz, to other Days, which in turn constituted their own Year. This is the same act, for every Day and the same pattern for every Year. God does not start in another way.
God does not first establish darkness, and then discredit that that darkness means anything. God does not take from darkness something around which Creation revolves, and then Create and Create again pieces of that darkness. God keeps darkness where it is, even before He Creates anything and He does not detract from it, in an effort to make what He Creates "Greater". Rather God works His way around darkness, in a process of the Creation of Pattern, which relates one aspect of Creation to another, by the Day; that Day rises and is complete in what that Day rises for - it is in a sense a "Day" that is captured by what it is for. This is how God Creates and Destroys everything.
God Creates Days and then establishes that they are for something, which they cannot escape - the Days are beholden to what they are for, because God calls them "good" in that respect. This then becomes a pattern, of process, that has strength in its maintaining its part in the process of Creation and the establishment of the end in Destruction to which it is headed - not able to break away from the process of Creation, to avoid its Destruction at the end of its time. Thus the end becomes something that can be anticipated, as a looming Destruction, that removes the Creation or Day's meaning, in the place of another greater Day coming, in which all Days are united, but no longer apart from God.
That the Days end up no longer apart from God, points to the importance of God's rest. God allows His Spirit to encounter what He has Created and to cross over Destruction, with return to another Day - to become a part of the Pattern, in other words. This allows for dreams and visions and all manner of discovery, for which Man owes his existence, and the meaning of it. Man is able to grasp through rest, that God is for him, even in the midst of him returning to dust, by God. Not that God hates when He Destroys, but that this is means by which Man is able to cause his soul to transition into eternity, Growing And Sustaining in pattern, just as Creation and Destruction were established in pattern.
I hope you can appreciate that God has the power to Create and to Destroy, and that He does this in a way that is consistent with His desire to create Pattern and Purpose for Man.
God bless.
