Gen. 2:1
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
The Hebrew word “finished” is kalah, a verb that means “to finish, end.”
FINISHED—kalah finished, end
The same Hebrew word rendered as a noun is kallah (with slightly different vowel pointings) and means “a bride (as if perfect).”
BRIDE—hL;Kæ kallâh a bride (as perfect).
The root Hebrew word in both the verb and the noun is kalal and means “to finish, complete, (make) perfect.”
FINISH—llæK; kâlal to complete; (make) perfect.
What is “finished” on the 7th day of creation is the full and final revelation of the “bride” of Christ, i.e., the Apocalyptic woman.
Also, the creation to which she is giving birth is finished in its revelation.
In fact, the role of Christ’s bride is to perfect, complete, and finish God’s creation.
