“But it certainly looks like Yahweh is speaking of a physical world?” Of course this has been your long held perception and we will begin to peel back the layers as we simply define terms according to the holy language; the language of another realm; the Hebrew language.

“Then (after creating all available realms of consciousness: dark, light, sun, moon, stars, trees, etc.) Yahweh (The Perfect Consciousness) blessed him (Adam) and Yahweh said to him (mankind): ‘Be fruitful (spiritually bear forth) and multiply (duplication of perfect thoughts); fill the earth 1 (erets, eh-ret” – “to be firm,” man’s mental dominium) and subdue (take mental dominion) it (consciousness, the Spirit Kingdom): have rulership (spiritual thought control) over the fish 2 (“rapid,” unruly thoughts) of the sea 3 (“roar, noise,” tempestuous thought realm), over the birds 4 (“cover,” obscure thoughts) of the air 5 (“lofty,” grandizement, “self” righteousness), and over every living (consciously active) thing (thought process) that moves (swiftly glides) upon the earth (totality of man’s thought realm).’”
Due to our failure to “take every thought captive unto obedience,” we would be forced out of the protected thought world originally intended, now leading to a battle within; the “flesh vs. Spirit” pattern revealed to us in scripture. Let’s move forward to the time of the Exodus (leaving behind of the carnal “self”), on the journey to the Promised Land.

“So I have come down to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a rich land, a spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and the Jeburites.” (Exodus 3:8)

Physical or spiritual? Both? Physical then spiritual? Spiritual then physical? It is crucial to each individual soul, that the perfect pattern back to the perfect conscience be revealed. Of course it has to be revealed within; in your processes of thought! This in itself exposes the pattern and in doing so aligns with the commands, “My Kingdom is not of this world,” for, “My Kingdom is within you!” The physical manifestation is merely the manifestation of what has already been decided within. As per scripture, thoughts create! Diseased mind, diseased world. Pure mind, pure world. Let’s look at the Exodus verse again from the Kingdom perspective; the Spirit world.
