Spirit in the Bible can mean 4 things; Breath, words, thoughts, and spiritual beings.
So what spirit of the Lord? Which spirit of the Lord?
So after looking and checking the Bible and fact checking, we can conclude that the spirit of the Lord here is a Angel, before you judge look at the proof:
Angels are spirits:
Hebrews 1:7,14 KJV
And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. [14] Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Spirits sent forth?
Yep they often are considered hosts or ministers:
Psalm 103:20-21 KJV
Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. [21] Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
He used a spirit to shape man then he breathed into him:
Job 33:4 KJV
The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
He commands to create, that implies he is talking to other beings
Psalm 148:5 KJV
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
So seeing angels can be called spirits and they are sent from God shouldn’t we say Angel of the Lord instead of Spirit of the Lord? Well the Bible does that already:
Here’s two spots:
Exodus 3:2 KJV
And👉 the angel of the LORD👈 appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
Acts 8:26,39 KJV
And👉 the angel of the Lord👈 spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. [39] And when they were come up out of the water, the 👉Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip👈, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
“Angel of the Lord” vs “Spirit of the Lord” same thing.
So the Angel of the lord went upon the face of the Deep. It was not the word or the breath or the mind of God is was a actual deity that descended from heaven in Genesis 1:2.
Genesis 1:2 KJV
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.
Psalm 104:30 KJV
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
John 15:26 KJV
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even
👉the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify👈 of me:
Revelation 22:16 KJV
👉I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify👈 unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
That’s enough that is the only logical way to veiw that spirit of God because there is no biblical proof that that is a third God defending.
Next lesson will be what did God do next in Genesis 1:3 and how long was the first day.
