Creation Moment 4/4/2019 - Creator's Creative Powers in Zechariah 12:1

The oracle of the word of the Lord concerning Israel:
Thus declares the Lord,
---who stretched out the heavens
---and founded the earth
---and formed the spirit of man within him:
Zechariah 12:1 ESV

"Zechariah 12:1 identifies the Lord as the One who stretched the
heavens, laid the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him.
This is an allusion back to the creation event, but like so many other Old Testament passages that mention the stretching of the heavens and the foundations of the earth being laid, there is no hint of any additional information whereby we may reinterpret Genesis 1."
