Genesis 1:9-10 ESV
And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
The separation continues in the waters below. The dry land appears and waters are gathered in one place. Jesus tells us the sheep will be separated from the goats and the wheat from the chaff. The dry land is where the seed of the word will be planted.
The dry land appears out of the seas. Later Moses would lead the Israelites through the Red Sea. Jesus would rise from His baptism in the water and begin the wilderness journey similar to the wilderness journey of the Israelites after leaving the Red Sea. The Israelites would fail and die in the wilderness, but Jesus would and will prevail in the day to come. We will be gathered by the Lord and it will be good.
