DAY ONE OF CREATION - GENESIS 1:1-5
GOD CREATES A PLACE FOR DAY FOUR'S CREATION!
[1] In the beginning (when time began) God created (Jesus created everything as His Father instructed - see John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:16-17; Hebrews 1:1-2; etc.) the heaven (the Universe) and the earth (our planet - Earth).
[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep (liquid, empty, and without light). And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light (the Bible does not tell us from where the light came).
[4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness (at the time God created light, it apparently occupied the same space as did darkness, for God separated one from the other).
[5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day ("yom" - 24 hours).
DAY TWO OF CREATION - GENESIS 1:6-8
GOD CREATES A PLACE FOR DAY FIVE'S CREATION!
[6] And God said, Let there be a firmament (a space - here, it is the Earth's atmosphere) in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
[7] And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
[8] And God called the firmament Heaven (a place in which birds will fly). And the evening and the morning were the second day.
DAY THREE OF CREATION - GENESIS 1:9-13
GOD CREATES A PLACE FOR DAY SIX'S CREATION!
[9] And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
[10] And God called the dry land earth; and the gathering together of the waters called He seas: and God saw that it was good.
[11] And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
[12] And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[13] And the evening and the morning were the third day.
DAY FOUR OF CREATION - GENESIS 1:14-19
THINGS TO OCCUPY WHAT WAS CREATED ON DAY ONE
[14] And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven (the Universe) to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
[15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
[16] And God made two great lights (great in comparison to the stars); the greater light to rule the day (the Sun), and the lesser light to rule the night (the Moon): He made the stars also (God does not consider the Sun a star; it is unique).
[17] And God set them in the firmament of the heaven (the Universe) to give light upon the earth,
[18] And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
[19] And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
DAY FIVE OF CREATION - GENESIS 1:20-23
THINGS TO OCCUPY WHAT WAS CREATED ON DAY TWO!
[20] And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that have life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
[21] And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[22] And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
[21] And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[22] And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
[23] And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
DAY SIX OF CREATION - GENESIS 1:24-31
THINGS TO OCCUPY WHAT WAS CREATED ON DAY THREE!
[24] And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
[25] And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creeps upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
[27] So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
[28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.
[29] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
[30] And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creeps upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat (man and animals were not created carnivores): and it was so.
[31] And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
[25] And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creeps upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
[27] So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.
[28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.
[29] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
[30] And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creeps upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat (man and animals were not created carnivores): and it was so.
[31] And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
[Note: There are now three heavens: "The third heaven" (God's Throne Room - 2 Corinthians 12:2); the Universe; and Earth's atmosphere.]
JESUS CHRIST: THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER!
Today, Jesus, the risen Son of God, is still making a space for those He intends to place there!
John 14:1-3 - Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
1 John 5:11-13 - And this is the record, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that has (faith in) the Son has life; and he that has not (faith in) the Son of God has not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life, and that ye may (continue to) believe on the name of the Son of God.
