What Does the Face of the Deep Mean in the Bible?
✦
The Face of the Deep is the perceivable surface of the world, the perceivable form of material manifestation.
The Water means the laws that define the world, which we do not know, and the Deep means the relationships among the laws, which we also do not know.
The Face of the Deep is the surface of the Water, that is, the material form of the manifestation of the laws — the perceivable world.
In the beginning, there is Darkness upon the Face of the Deep, because no consciousness is present, no one is present who perceives the appearing world, yet the world already exists. The Face of the Deep appears — the perceivable world.
