John 1:1, which affirms that the Word was God, and in the beginning with God, and that without Him there was nothing made that hath been made, supports the thought that both Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit (revealed in Genesis 1:2 as active in the creation) should be understood as included in "us" and "our" here. But this seems to me indefensible, though there may be difficulty in reconciling what I regard as the truth with an unusual force of one or two words. God made but one male and one female, that all the nations of men might know themselves to be made of one blood, descendants from one common stock, and might thereby be induced to love one another. This word involves "in germ" the doctrine of the Trinity. to their unbelief if they choose to despise or resist the word of God meanwhile. It is not concerned with the sort of investigation that modern science is concerned with. It merely describes in a few graphic touches, that are strikingly true to nature, the last of those geologic changes which our globe has undergone. If mans physical being is in the image of God we would immediately wonder what, if any organs, God possesses. We see God's tender care and parental solicitude for the comfort and well-being of this masterpiece of his workmanship, in creating the world previously to the creation of man. 119. De Opificio, p. 16. Read the Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28. The superior trinity being Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the inferior trinity of man being body, soul and spirit. Human lusts and passions were not yet in question, but they soon followed the desire of having what God had forbidden. (Genesis 1:6-7, 9, 11, 14-15). In his purity and rectitude. mind of man thinks it a mighty difficulty that what appears to be so small a matter should be pregnant with such awful results. The Spirit of God has acted quite otherwise. to make use of it as should seem convenient for them. Whereas Seth is son of Adam according to his image (Gen 5:3), the . It would fit with the Hebrew word "meor". * If Canaan drew his father into the shameful exposure of Noah, all can see how just the sentence was. over the tame creatures, either for food, or clothing, or Commentary on Genesis 26:1-5 (Read Genesis 26:1-5) Isaac had been trained up in a believing dependence upon the Divine grant of the land of Canaan to him and his heirs; and now that there is a famine in the land, Isaac still cleaves to the covenant. Here man is at sea; but where he does arrive at conclusions, this at least is the common consent, as far as I know, of all who have given their minds to the study, that there are three, and only three, divisions into which nations properly diverge. Cain, as it is said, went out from His presence, and dwelt in the land of Nod; a son is born in due time who builds a city called after his name. Does he have sexual organs, and if so, which? It may be well to glance at it just to show the importance of heeding the word of God, and all His word. No, it was the simple question whether God was really Jehovah-Elohim, whether He was a moral governor or not, whether man was to be independent of God or not. Genesis 1:27. Genesis 1:26 It is not too much to say that redemption, with all its graces and all its glories, finds its explanation and its reason in creation. There is a day coming when the ground of God's action will be neither innocence nor sin, but righteousness. The strict import of the term is that which to my mind is most suitable to the context; the week in which God made the heaven and earth for man seems alone appropriate in introducing the revelation of God. Not at all. The Fall obscured but did not obliterate the image of God in man. Some think they have some kind of device that tunes on the magnetic field of the earth. Genesis 1:26-27New International Version. Having created the world with its many life forms, He now wants one to rule over these life forms. "Jehovah-Elohim took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." That angels were then created. So that, they are for signs, for times, for seasons and so forth; and so this becomes very interesting.Now, if this is a process of "re-creation," then it would mean that on the fourth day, actually God did not create the sun and the moon on the fourth day, but He had now allowed them to be in their present, current positions in their relationship to the Earth, and he removed the shroud of fog, and all, from the Earth so that you can finally see the sun and the moon.Now, we have evening and mornings, where we don't see the sun, cloudy days, cloudy all day long. He made man the master over the earth. He begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; knowledge, righteousness, and true holiness. But it is and will be of the deepest interest to trace these ways of God in earthly government from the first. It would be carried across the ocean and be thrown up on a beach somewhere. It was sin not as such against God in leaving Him, like Adam's, but against man, his brother accepted of God. Likewise people should maintain the other divisions in the universe. There is no statement, from beginning to end of scripture, as far as I am aware, which in the smallest degree modifies or takes away from the force of the words with which the Bible opens "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.". Cain was born, and the fallen mother gave the name: but, oh, what a mistake! Kadmon the ancient Adam, as the cause of causes, of whom it is He created the animals, the domesticated-type animals, all after their own kind.And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.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. Now comes the first mention of evening and morning, and of days. some for another; and over all the wild beasts of the earth, Your judgment alike of God and man will be falsified; your estimate of the past and your expectations of the future will all be vain, unless you steadily remember that God now in all His dealings with man acts on the solemn fact of sin original and universal sin. It is really the basis of fact for not a few tales of mythology which men have made up. In male and female God acts according to His rights and wisdom in creation; and consequently there it is said, "as Elohim commanded him." But to people of ancient times, and even to us today, the earth where people live is the centre of their world. And God rested on the seventh day from His work of creation.Now as we get into chapter two, we find a recapitulation that will emphasize the creation of man, because of this recapitulation we have now, because man is being emphasized. Certainly this is not mere creation in view, but special dealings of a moral sort. For, to reply to the last objection first, geology has offered no conclusive evidence of its doctrine, that the fossil remains of beasts of prey and bones with marks of disease belong to a pre-Adamite period, but has merely inferred it from the hypothesis already mentioned of successive periods of creation. Sin needed more. It is only faith that really accepts what comes from God; and faith alone gives the clue to what is around us now, but then it guides us through all present entanglements by believing God whether as to what He once made or what He will yet do. The end of this chapter shows that the man in whose person the principle of human government was set up could not govern himself. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female . It is the beauty and the blessedness of scripture that it is as much above man's science as above his ignorance. can claim credit for accuracy from their inattention to this difference in the Greek version. Thus in Genesis 6:1-22 it is said that "the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence." Then we find the waters caused to bring forth abundantly "the moving creature that hath life." 2. As to the manner in which God made man in His image, it is significant that man himself is a trinity - having mind, spirit, and body. Nay, more, now that it is clearly revealed, they have no competency to appreciate it never take in its force; and for this simple reason, that man invariably judges from himself and from his own experience, instead of submitting to God and His word. Now as we get into the creation of the animal-type of life in the fifth day, first of all, the life forms in the water, "Let the waters bring forth abundantly," and my, the teeming life forms in the water! First, It exhibits the consistency of the whole narrative in itself. )Gods rest after the creation of the first human couple signified not that he had become tired or inactive (for he continues to care for what he has created), but that he had brought his work to its goal. "Let them rule" (1:26) is the consequence of "Let Us make man in Our image.". Hebrews 1:13, 14. doing them any damage: and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the 145.] When God made man, when Jehovah-Elohim breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, man had no knowledge of things as right or wrong in themselves. God could introduce him, and could leave the heart to feel the rightness of saying no more about him than was necessary. Genesis 9:6; 1Corinthians 11:7; James 3:9.) This passage, of course, refers to the humiliation of Christ, whose being made "a little lower" than angels actually means "made lower for a little while," in the matter of his passion and death; for the same passage indicates that man, as he was created, ranked higher than angels, for, "Not unto angels did he subject the world to come," an honor reserved for man. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw . Thus we see how the simple truth is after all the deepest wisdom. It isn't who wrote it, it was the Holy Spirit that inspired the writing. I'm made in the image of God, who is a self-determinant being.Now, if God created me with a capacity of choice, it would be totally meaningless unless He gave me a choice. These are both very good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, and 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.

It is plain, had Moses merely formed a probable opinion as men do, that no one would have introduced the mention of light, apart from, and before all distinct notice of, the heavenly orbs. The three persons of the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, consult about it and concur in it, because man, when he was made, was to be dedicated and devoted to Father, Son and Holy Ghost. It is God that does all, whether it be for the earth, the air, or the waters. I confess human my own ignorance; but not that there is a single instance where God has not employed the terms in all respects the best. Likewise when it says that God made man from the dust of the earth (Genesis 2:7), it does not mean that he took in his hands a ball of clay and formed it into a human shape as a baker makes a gingerbread man, but that he made man out of common chemicals. *Some have wondered why the serpent and Eve should be represented as saying Elohim ("God") in the temptation, seeing that everywhere else in the section the name employed is Jehovah-Elohim. It is not only what he is doomed to, but the wisely ordered place for fallen man here below. And again the design, and the variety!

Every subject that comes before us is dealt with in a new point of view suitably to the new name given to God the name of God as a moral governor, no longer simply as a creator. Humanity was the final full-stop in creation's story. He was gone from God. over the Then we enter on the theatre and times of dispensations. Had it been merely said that Elohim shut him in, it would have simply suggested the Creator's care of every creature; but Jehovah's shutting him in points to special relationship, and the interest taken in that righteous man. 2. i Ibid. "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 birds of the heaven, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over everything that creepeth upon the earth.

And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Science may tell us more about Gods creation, but it does so from a viewpoint that is different from that of the Bible. We come at length to him in whom God brings in wholly new principles in His own grace to meet a new and monstrous evil idolatry. Genesis 1:1-2) mankind male and female; they did not evolve from a lower form of life (cf. The Second man, not the first, is the object of promise. over fish and fowl signify, unless it be a power to feed upon God gave the right of dominion over all living things to man.

They leave room consequently for a state or states of the earth long before either man or time, as man measures it. But still it is well to take note that we have thus a grand basis of things as they really are a divine communication to us of facts of the utmost moment, and, at the same time, of the deepest interest to the children of God. This gives occasion to the manifestation of a great difference among Noah's sons, and to the solemn words which the father uttered in the spirit of prophecy. It depends for its existence upon God. When it says that God sits above the circle of the earth (Isaiah 40:22), it does not mean that he sits in space somewhere above the horizon, but that he is the sovereign Lord of the universe. And let them have dominion Hence we see that the dominion was not the image. "And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God* said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? Thus the chief seat of the Divine image was in his mind and heart, where it was eminent: yet was there no part of him in which some scintillations of it did not shine forth. Never was there a moment when man was verging more evidently towards apostacy from the truth, and that not merely as to redemption, but even as to creation, as to himself, and above all as to his relationship with God. But if God had such care for us before we existed, he will by no means leave us destitute of food and of other necessaries of life, now that we are placed in the world.

And here we find the solemn truth, that not only did Jehovah-Elohim cause to grow every tree that is pleasant and good for food, but "the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.". Genesis 3:21) we are told, that "to Adam also and to his wife did Jehovah-Elohim make coats of skins and clothed them." 9-54, for a discussion of the subject.].

We thus learn the compatibility of these two things, which in fact were true of man a fall from the relationship of innocence, in which he was originally set with God, and a rise in moral capacity, which, without faith, entails immense misery, but which is of the utmost value when one is brought to God by our Lord Jesus. 26 Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[ a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.". Talk about microsystems!Oh, the wisdom of God, the wisdom of God. In another sense man is the image of God (e.g., he rules and creates [procreates] as God does, thus reflecting God). Matthew 19:4; Mark 10:6). Hitherto they had been of one lip; but combining to make a name to themselves, lest they should be scattered, not to exalt God nor confide in Him, they had their language confounded, and themselves dispersed. As he has the government of the inferior creatures, he is, as it were, God's representative, or viceroy, upon earth; they are not capable of fearing and serving God, therefore God has appointed them to fear and serve man.

In the statement given by Moses every minute point beautifully exemplifies the propriety of the word of God. There is not a speech nor a language" (Psa 19:1-3). "So Jehovah scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. It is of great interest and importance to observe that God distinguished from the first between responsibility on the one hand, and life-giving on the other, in the two trees (verse 9). Pharaoh says, "I have dreamed a dream" Genesis 41:15. Other seeds surround themselves with a luscious tasting juice and all, and a little bit of meaty stuff, and so you eat, or the bear eats the berries, then later on he propagates the seeds in other areas.The way that seeds are designed to propagate themselves are fascinating indeed.
