I would have stated that in Ge:1 two beings are introduced in the first two verses, God and the Holy Spirit. They are the 'us' later in the chapter as being the model for mankind, Adam was designed to have a wife, that is why they were created male and female. God would be the witness in Ge:1 and the Holy Spirit would be the witness in Ge:2 as Ge:references the whole earth and Ge:2 references just the garden area after Adam was alive. Eve was created as the last event on day 6 while Adam was the first event of that day. Proverbs:8 is a 3rd witness and the text of that chapter is the 'resume' of the being that will be judging mankind and his 'wisdom' goes back to before God created anything, that is Christ alone. Those 3 are the only ones to have come from the 3rd heaven. The 1st heaven is from the surface of the earth to as high as the clouds go. That is where birds fly and above that would be the heaven from Ge:1:1 which is home to the 'sons of God' from Ge:3 and Ge:6.
The Great White Throne event is held in a place that still exists when this heaven and this earth have passed away.
Isa:51:6:
Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
and look upon the earth beneath:
for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke,
and the earth shall wax old like a garment,
and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner:
but my salvation shall be for ever,
and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Re:20:11:
And I saw a great white throne,
and him that sat on it,
from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away;
and there was found no place for them.
Heb:12:22:
But ye are come unto mount Sion,
and unto the city of the living God,
the heavenly Jerusalem,
and to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb:12:23:
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn,
which are written in heaven,
and to God the Judge of all,
and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
1Jo:5:7:
For there are three that bear record in heaven,
the Father,
the Word,
and the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one.
2Co:12:2:
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago,
(whether in the body,
I cannot tell;
or whether out of the body,
I cannot tell: God knoweth
such an one caught up to the third heaven.
This extensive reply proves true my words: the derivation of the doctrine strictly from the Bible, which in fact is undependable: because in origin it is the Torah of Ezra and not the original one, and because of the passing of long time and because of the translations from Lattin into other languages and by many translators: the difference in language will cause a great confusion.
E.g.
the heavenly Jerosalem:
Jerusalem means: the home of peace or the home of safety, so the translator thought it is Jerusalem, while it was in the meaning not in literal: the home of safety which is Paradise or Heaven or Kingdom of Heavens under the Throne where believers together with angel are dwelling.
And if we want to take the literal meaning of the word in its origin: there is for every material thing its true copy or image: that is ethereal spiritual not material; so the Paradise or Heaven is the issue of the material earth, therefore, the palaces, mansions, rivers, trees ...etc. are the image of their earthy original material cities, and one of these may be the city of Jerusalem, and the river Euphrates and other rivers and trees and mansions.
Abu Abdallah, Mohammed-Ali Hassan Al-Hilly who is the apostle of the Christ; he was sent by the Christ to orient them about the truth and to correct the scriptures that have been distorted.
He was sent by the Christ: the one who inspired him about the year 1946 or so; the inspiring one was the Christ.
Abu Abdallah was a photographer, and he worked in a dark room for fixing the old type of films, when one said to him in clear words, but not in a hearable or audible voice: You are the Mahdi, so carry out your duty!
Abu Abdallah said: I seek refuge in God against the suggestions of Satan!
The inspirer said: I am not any devil; I tell you the truth.
Abu Abdallah said: How can I be the Mahdi, when the Mahdi is the son of Hassan Askari (according to the belief of Shiaa)?
The inspirer said: This is only the enthusiasm; no one may live one thousand years; so it is you that are the Mahdi.
Abu Abdallah said: How can I be the Mahdi, while the description of the Mahdi is written in books?
The inspirer said: Apply the description to yourself and see the result.
Abu Abdallah said: I went to the bookshop and bought a book about this subject, to find that about 16-17 features of the Mahdi are applicable to me, with the exception of that I am not a descendent of Imam Ali; but there are some narrations that the Prophet said: the Mahdi is one of my nation who will follow after me.
The inspirer recurred to him for about 3 days.
Abu Abdallah said: People will not believe me unless there may be a miracle!
The inspirer said: Your miracle is the interpretation of the Quran.
Abu Abdallah said: The interpretation of the Quran is availble with people.
The inspirer said: None may know its interpretation but only God; so while they do not know the interpretation of the ambiguous ayat, while you will know them, then it will be your miracle.
Abu Abdallah went to the bookshop and bought the extensive book of the explanation of the Quran called (Majma Al-bayan about the explanation of the Quran) by the Tibrisi.
So he opened the book to read the beginning of the soora 2
Alif Lam Miem, and he read the ways of explanation,
and the inspirer said to him:
See this is not logical, so either the letters are the initials of the words or not; but it is like this:
The first letter is Alif, which means ...etc. and the inspirer started to explain to him the implication of these letters.
Then Abu Abdallah asked him: "Who are you?"
The inspirer said: "I am the Christ."
Abu Abdallah said: "I thought at the start, he was an angel named: the Christ; but later on when I read much about this subject, I knew that the Christ will come to the Mahdi as did Gabriel come to Prophet Mohammed.
So I am telling you this story, to know that Abu Abdallah was the apostle of the Christ, and he was the comforter: the spirit of truth, who will tell them many things later on, and will speak and tell others what he hears.
So now he tells you
the correction of the Bible in addition to
the explanation of the Quran, and he invites us to
the exclusive devotion to God alone and to abandon the enthusiasm about creatures, and all people: whether Arab or non-Arab have to listen to his words, which are the instruction of the Christ and the commandment of God Almighty.
A Call to Christians
[By:] Apostle of the Christ

What proof do you have that he took a couple of fish and fed three thousand people?
God gives some miracles to some of His messengers or apostles; but to this particular one, it may not be true.
Among his miracles: he revived some of those who died recently by supplicating God to do that, and God revived them to be his miracle.
Hour with Ghosts
Another miracle: he told them about some of the Unknown, and about what they ate and what they store up in their houses.
And he cured the congenitally blind and the albino, which were non-curable, but all that was according to praying God Who did that as a miracle on the behalf of Jesus to prove his truthfulness.
Heb:12:22:
the heavenly Jerusalem,
and to an innumerable company of angels,
I say it is meant the "Home of safety", in the meaning not in literal word as translated by the translators of the Bible.
{
Quran 6: 127 which means:
Theirs is the 'abode of peace c ' with their Lord d, and He is their Patron e because of their [righteous] deeds.}
........................................................
c i.e. the home of safety and security.
d In the spiritual paradises under the Throne.
e i.e. their Master Who takes care about them.
So Paradise or Heaven (as called by Christians)is the abode or home of peace and security, because no harm will afflict its inhabitants and they will not be afraid of devils and of Hell.
This home of safety in the Next Life is also mentioned in another aya of the Quran, which means:
{
Quran 10: 25. God does invite [you] to the abode of peace i,
and does guide whom He will j to a 'standard and straight' way k [of monotheism and exclusive devotion to God alone.]}
........................................................
i It means: The World is a home of distresses, afflictions and diseases, while
the Next Life is a home of rest, prosperity and safety of diseases and afflictions; therefore, God invites you the home of safety in order to repose in it and be happy with its life and prosperity.
j i.e. the one who is worthy of the guidance.
k Which is the way of the truth.
The interpretation is by Mohammed-Ali Hassan Al-Hilly.
