On _BROODING,_ ... an opinion _(Genesis 1:1-2)_ I think today, since we've gotten away from our agrarian roots, keeping dogs and cats more than goats and chickens, the word _brooding_ has come to mean pouting, grumpy, angry, frustrated, basically, something bad. So, in this verse, a casual reader might assume moving or brooding over the waters has some negative connotation to it. But, I have chickens. I believe Jesus loves chickens (and donkeys, LOL). I see Him using them in Scripture often, _in key places,_ and I think it's very purposeful, so that we can know Him and understand His meaning. Maybe that is what is happening here. Every Spring, my hen's get struck by the Spring Fever. Love is in the air. Often, they may lay their eggs in one nest box to acquire a collection and then one of the ladies will go into 'broody' mode. That is, she will set down on the clutch of eggs, go into a trance-like state, spread her feathers and body over all the eggs and turn them just so, just enough, from time to time at the just right time. You see, a fertile egg is viable, that is, can be triggered with the right amount of consistent warmth to start growth, to start life, for up to 7-10 days from when it is laid. In other words, an egg can sit unattended and nothing comes of it _until_ the brooding begins. This involves her intense focus and concentration and great physical effort. She barely eats, drinks, bathes or poops because she doesn't want to leave her nest. She may only leave once per day for a moment of self-care to attend to those basic functions and makes a lot of complaints if anyone gets in her way, so strong is her desire to return to her task. She will even pluck her own breast to get the perfect amount of heat and moisture and contact to cover the eggs to bring forth the spark of life and nurture it for 21 days. This brooding position is not simply sitting, relaxing and lounging. It is very purposeful, strenuous, and she sacrifices herself, loosing weight to bring forth life. It is effort and attention. I can come to one of my hens who is in the midst of doing this and be right in front of her face, speaking to her and because all her energy, attention and concentration seem to be focused on those eggs, she does not hear me or even blink in response until I do something overt to snap her awake, and then it's, "Oh, hey, I didn't see you there, I am very busy here, brooding over these eggs." I think this act of creation, bringing life out of what appears to be merely a stone sitting on the ground, but that with the right amount of concentration, commitment, warmth, effort, straining and sacrifice of self, _transforming_ the egg to a chick is what the Spirit of God was doing at the Beginning. I think it demonstrates a flow of process, the procession of Creation. I don't see a rebuilding or refurbishing in this model. I don't think it supports a Gap Theory. _In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth._ _And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters._ -- Genesis 1:1-2
Great job, Pastor Andy,…truly straightening out those who are open to actual scripture as it defines itself. As an addendum, I also feel that Peter, in his 2nd Epistle, chapter 2 verse 5, only refers to one flood (in the history of earth), as he (in my opinion) was only aware of one flood. To me, it’s supplementary information that substantiates your point.☺️
fill (v.) Here's is the word etymology of why replenish is synonymously used for fill when male' is translated. It's a teaching tool that shows the interchangeably between the 2 words same as when rock or stone are used..hope it helps folks see it's not a mistranslation issue at all ... Old English fyllan "to fill, make full, fill up, >replenish,< satisfy; complete, fulfill," from Proto-Germanic *fulljanan "to fill" (source also of Old Saxon fulljan, Old Norse fylla, Old Frisian fella, Dutch vullen, German füllen, Gothic fulljan "to fill, make full"), a derivative of adjective *fullaz "full" (see full (adj.)).

Genesis is the most confusing book in the Bible to me. All I know is God created the world and Jesus Christ is our saviour and he sent the helper aka The Holy Spirit and Jesus will return to the Earth at the end times as we presently know them. Amen
The brooding of the Holy Spirit is like a broody hen. He was hovering and infusing life. I suppose energy of sorts. The gap theory make the marvel of creation into a horror story. Yuck.
Replenish like reprove does not equate do again. Replenish is a proper translation and the bible through parallelism shows us the synonymous and repetitive nature of the bible. The word Replete is the still used Noun form of replenish. It was long after the kjb was released that Francis bacon gave the word replenish a 2nd definition. Before assuming there was a mistranslation it was be a good idea to study what words meant when translated. Just like the word Gay. 50 yrs ago it meant happy, merry. A translation doesnt become erroneous because people are too lax to go back and research a little more. I'm young earth, non gap theory holder, and kjv only. And have 1 bible i can and do trus as I am subject to it and not it to me. But regardless i hope folks see replenish isnt a bad translation as the word of God nvr promised to preserve dictionaries that change over time but that God's word itself would be preserved. God bless all ye who trust solely on Jesus :)
Living in Grace...I've your meaning of the word "gay" ...got alot of "those people" people around now. Sample of exactly what Pastor Andy Wood is talking about. Gay meant happy, now we've got "so called "gay people" 🙄 today. ...
I don't believe we have the right to put something in the bible that God did not Choose to talk about. It doesn't say there is a gap so there is no gap.
Absolutely brilliant brilliant teaching bless you Andy

Replenish means Keep Going , keep multiplying and fill the earth

King James doesn't have it wrong, the word replenish in the 1600's Dictionary means "to fill"!
Amen 🙏🏻
