We have discovered that there was a primeval creation in which the heavenly bodies and the globe that we inhabit were created. The surface of the earth, however, was destroyed and recreated 974 times. The last creation, which formed the ground beneath our feet and our earliest ancestors, took place some 5,700 years ago. That creation began on the twenty-fifth of Ellul and cumlminated on the first of Tishre. For this reason all historical dates are calculated from the first of Tishre, for the creation of mankind is the beginning of history.

A prophet might fail to grasp the complete meaning of his prophecy as with Yonah. It is also possible that a truth be revealed to a prophet and he not ascertain its full meaning. This, for example, is what happened in the case of Yonah. In his prophecy, he was told, “Nineveh will be overturned (Yonah 3:4).”

Without the scarifices and their associated maamodot the heavens and the earth would not endure. The Torah relates that Avraham asked Elokim, “How can I know that I will inherit the Land You promised me?” Avraham meant by this statement: “Perhaps Yisrael will sin and You will deal with them as You did with the generation of the mabbul or the generation of the Tower.” Elokim denied that. Avraham countered, “With what z’chus (merit) will they avoid such a fate?” Elokim responded, “Take for Me three heifers, three goats, and three rams,” indicating to him that the korbonot which Yisrael would scarifice from these species would serve the nation. Now, if the korbonot preserve Yisrael, they in effect preserve the universe, for if Yisrael would cease to exist, the world, too, would end.

It is possible for a prophet to be in error (when he delivers his message). This is not the result of the prophecy itself, but a consequence of the manner in which, on his own, he carries it out. When this happens and a prophet does not fulfill his mission properly, he might also be punished.
As a reference, I Kings 13 we read about a prophet from Judah sent to Jereborm, King of Israel. The Midrash Sifrei on Deuteronomy 33:1 reads that the “man of G-d” was the prophet Edo. Little is known about him except for the events described in I KIngs 13.

The song of the Levi’s (Priest) in the Temple on Sunday (first day of week) of each week was Psalms 24 that begins, “The earth and everything in it are the property of Elokim (G-d),” because on the first day of creation Elokim became the owner of the earth and its sole ruler, and He gave it over to its inhabitants for their use. On Monday the Levi’s sang Psalms 48 beginning, “Elokim is great and highly praised,” because on the second day of creation Elokim divided the universe into a seprarate heaven and earth and set His presence in heaven, corresponding to the Holy City described in the hymn. On Tuesday the Levi’s sang Psalms 82, Elokim stands among the leaders of His people,” because on the third day of creation Elokim uncovered the earth and made the land fit for settlement by His people. On Wednesday they sang Psalms 94, “Elokim is Lord of vengeance,” because on the fourth day He created the sun and the moon, and He eventually will take vengeance from those who worship them. On Thursday they sang Psalms 81, “Sing to the Elokim of our strength,” because on the fifth day He created birds and fish, the sight of whose variety causes one to sing His praises. On Friday they sang Psalms 93, Elokim reigns; He dons majesty,” because on the sixth day He completed His work and became King over His creatures. On Shabbat the Levi’s sang Psalms 92, “A song, a poem for the day of Shabbat,” referring to the future world which is pure Shabbat; inadulterated rest.

Bereishit 1:1 states, “In the beginning Elokim created the heaves and the earth. The earth was tohu and bohu and there was darkness on the face of the depths, and the Spirit of Elokim hovered over the surface of the water.”
What is tohu? Tohu is a green lime which goes around the world, and is the source of darkness. What is bohu? Bohu refers to wet rocks sunk in the depths from which water springs.
In the Midrash (Brayshit Rabba 10:2), The creation of the world can be compared to a public bath in whose floor were two fine mosaics. As long as the bath is filled with water the art-work is not visible. When the water is drained on can appreciate the mosaics. So too, as long as the world was tohu and bohu, the work of heaven and eart was not visible. When tohu and bohu were removed the work of heaven and earth could be appreciated.
