"The judgment was set, and the books were opened." The Spirit contrasts the dynamics of Power and Wisdom principles signifying God in terms of the Word. The Ancient of Days representing judgment is seated on a fiery throne. The Word or the Law is introduced there and it is open. The same vision when is presented to John we see the Lamb slain as Wisdom personified. "stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth."(Re.5:6) As for the book, " And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals."(v.1) We see it further down reduced smaller in size. "And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth."(Re.10:8) Here we see a lapse of time, indicating that God has set in motion so the earth without form and void shall be made in the glory of God. Glory of the Lord in essence is how the principles of Power and Wisdom are interacting. In eternity we have the same heaven depicted as in the night vision of Daniel as three heavens, as against the earth below where saved nations are allowed to walk in. This is Jerusalem of Mixed peoples, both Jews and the Gentiles walking under the light of the Lamb. In short the heaven and the earth in Ge.1:1 refers to the unseen world of divine Will made to appear.
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" The Word become flesh refers to Jesus Christ who of God became wisdom. "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption"(1 Co.1:30). Compare the mighty angel clothed with a cloud, with,"and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven,"(Re.10:1; Dan 7:13)
