Genesis 1:26 is usually translated as 'In the beginning God made heaven and earth', but in fact the word 'Elohim' here translated as 'God' is plural. The passage properly reads 'In the beginning the gods made heaven and earth'. What is being referred to here are astronomical deities. The gods who 'let there be light' in Genesis are the Seven Great Spirits who work together as the great spiritual influence emanating from the sun. In the religions of the ancient world the Sun God - Elohim, the seven great spirits - made heaven and earth.
In the ancient world the Sun god was typically depicted emanating seven rays, as a mark of the seven sun spirits that make up his nature. In the Egyptian Book of Dead they are known as the Seven Spirits of Ra and in ancient Hebrew tradition as the Seven Powers of Light.
Later Genesis ceases to refer to Elohim and instead the word usually translated as 'God' is 'Jehovah'.
Biblical scholars working outside the esoteric tradition have tended to explain what appears to them as two different names for the same God as the result of two different literary strands, the Elohim strand and the Jehovah strand, probably dating from different periods and woven together by a later redactor.
However, scholars working within the esoteric tradition have a much simpler explanation. Elohim and Jehovah are not different names for the same entity but different entities as such.
Elohim is a collective name for the Seven Spirits working together as the god of the Sun.
Jehovah came into being, when one of the seven spirits of the sun (Elohim) broke away to become the God of the moon. This god of reflection came to defend the Earth from Venus.
To Hebrews the God of the Moon became known as Jehova and to the Muslims as Allah, the great god of thou-shalt-not (=Du sollst nicht...).
As Elohim - the seven spirits which are the Sun God - acted to hold Saturn/Satan in check, Jehova - the God of the Moon - directed operations to hold Venus/Luzifer in check. So began the era of the moon.
The first three epochs of the cosmos, the mineral, vegetable and animal eras - Saturn-day, Sun-day and Moon-day - are remembered in the names of the first three days of the week.
