Genesis 1:1

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth - as He created the heavens so He created the earth, as below, so above.  The pattern and nature of the one is in accordance with the pattern and nature of the other.

Thus we read:  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth - which in Hebrew includes the word, אֵת ET.



So we read, In the beginning God created ET-the heavens and ET-the earth.  And the sages teach us that wherever the word ET is found it comes to include what is to be associated with the word to which it is attached.  What is included here in the words, heavens and earth is the heavens and earth of time and the heavens and earth of the eternity to come and everything found in them, in the one and in the other.  All this was created in the beginning.
