Are you referring to Henry's commentary, or something else Henry wrote? Certainly at least in the electronic copies I have of the complete commentary I can find no reference at all to the things you have mentioned. | M.H. uses the first verses "as a platform" to preach "an introduction"
to the gospel. He speaks of the TriUnity of the Godhead, Christ Being present in the begining, equates the Creation of Light, to the resurection of the sinners heart lost in darkness unto Light etc. Matthew Henry Complete Commentary
on the Whole Bible Chapter 1
I think he does a fine job. | As do I, but Ralph's comments sounded as though he was saying that Henry stated that in Genesis 1:1-4 the gospel was being revealed to us (which I took to mean that Henry was making some assertion akin to the comments he makes on Genesis 3:15, wherein the gospel is plainly revealed).
