Christian Stories - Bible Study Online
As we enter into the fifth stage we notice that God has now begun to speak to the waters in which He commanded them to bring forth the fish of the seas. The Almighty Creator also speaks to the heaven of the sky and commands it to bring forth the winged fowls of the air. Next He gives them the command to be fruitful and multiply and to fill the waters in the seas, and to let the fowl multiply the earth. This completes the fifth stage as we now enter into the sixth. This creative stage is where God makes the highlight of all his creation -- the human being. But first the Almighty Creator speaks to the earth and commands it to bring forth the living creatures after its kind, cattle and creeping thing. As well as the beast of the earth after its kind and so forth. After all this was done, God saw that it was good. This is where we get to the part where God actually speaks to Himself, and gives the command for man to be made in His image and likeness. "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 creepeth upon the earth.'" (Genesis 1:26) This is the stage that excites me the most, because as you trace the first five stages, you will notice that God never spoke to Himself when he created all the other things within those creative stages. Our Creator spoke straight to the source in which that creation was to be apart of. Being made in His image and likeness brings most people to ask, "Where in us does God have likeness?" Once again this question would seem complex, and yet its just as straight forward as a child being made in their parents image and likeness.
This seems complex, because its hard for us to take the limits off of our finite minds, so we can make the connection between both the spiritual and physical worlds. We must understand that basically we come from God just like a child would come from their parents. I'm not talking about a natural birth, but a representation of the source that you came from. I say this because everything else that was created came from a source that was of its kind. This is why you see major similarities between the different species of animals that were created within the same created environmental systems. If we were to take a look at all the creatures that God created, we will notice that none of them could exist outside the environmental system that they were created within. But when it comes to the human being, this is not the case. We do not resemble anything else that was made within God's creation. We weren't made from within a specific creation system, we were made from within God. Have you ever wonder why the human being is the only creature that stands upright, tall and proud. We are full of intelligence and we are able to rule over anything and everything that our Heavenly Father has created. Other creatures can't make this claim, being that they're limited to the environmental system that they were created in. When it comes to other creatures, their dominance and intelligence can't go beyond the environmental system from which they were made in. Now that should get you really excited. Why? Because this should let you know just how rare and priceless you truly are. This is why He made everything else before us? He had to let all of creation know that it would be under our rule. This is why we are the only creatures that can go and dominate different environmental systems unlike any other? We can go and dominate the waters, we can go and dominate the land, we can go and dominate the sky, so on and so forth. We are able to do this, because we weren't made from these other environmental systems - so therefore we are not limited to them. We have now reached the seventh and last stage of God's awesome creation. This is where God is recorded as resting after He looks over everything He created and see's that all He created is good. His resting doesn't come from Him being tired, for God is never weary. Thank you God for all you have given us, for you are awesome, marvelous and we are forever in your debt. 03) <-CURRENT PAGE-> 05) Adam & Eve - A Second Creation Account? 06) Adam & Eve - The Fall of Humanity 07) Adam & Eve - Banished From The Garden of Eden 08) Cain's Jealousy 09) Cain Banished From The Land 11) Son's of God - Daughters of Men 12) Wicked Giants in the Earth  CrossDaily.com Web Search where you can VOTE FOR THIS SITE & other great ones.
