The desire of Yahweh’s heart is expressed in Creation. Yahweh’s goal, Yahweh’s plan, and Yahweh’s Predetermined Will are all made known in His universal Creation. Yet, Creation does not explain itself, under the natural laws. It cannot do so; its secrets should be unraveled by the created.
Before the beginning, there was but one consciousness, that of Yahweh, whose nature cannot be conveyed in language. In the beginning, the Creating Word had been uttered. The Earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Yahweh was hovering over the face of the waters. Both Egyptian and Christian religions believe that all that is needed to start the process of Creation is nothing and Spirit, and when those two concepts are brought together, then all things can be created. The Egyptians also believed in the immortality of the soul, worshipped triads, or groups of three gods, and they used the cross, or ankh, a symbol of life.Think back to the very beginning of the Bible. It is so famous, so well-known, and still so very rich. It is difficult to picture what is described here, what is thus beyond our ability to grasp. We learn that in the beginning all was dark and shapeless. Everything existed in a state of inertia: defined in Physics as:
“Inertia is a property of matter by which it keeps in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight course unless that nation is exchanged by an external power.”
Can any scientist define the very nature of force, other than, as that which sets matter in motion? But if force be that which sets matter in motion, it cannot itself be material, if the fundamental law of motion be true that matter at rest remains at rest. Unless, therefore, the motions of the material universe be the result of an immaterial force impressing itself upon matter. Our whole conception of dynamical science is rotten to the core.
Yahweh then took thought and brought into being within Himself the Universal Womb of Creation. This generated power which brought forth Light, and formed a substance, separated into two forms of energy through being impregnated with the Spirit of Yahweh. The Universe having been created purposefully, it had to have had an objective. Creation reveals God’s eternal purpose; it shows us what Yahweh is truly after.
Straight off, the Spirit of Yahweh moved over the face of the earth, but was not of this world. It bore all things and was in all things, but on Earth, could not be apart from anything. A command was given and this became the Law. The Creation miracle is described in:
In the beginning Elohim created the Heaven and the Earth.(Genesis 1:1)
Now within the Universal Womb was heat, substance and life, and encompassing it was the Word which is the Law. Henceforth, activity was controlled in harmonious rhythm. We are just at the right distance from our Sun so that temperatures are contributing to life. We hold the correct atmospheric pressure for liquid water at our surface. The Law divided the materializing chaos from Yahweh and then set up the boundaries of the Eternal Spheres. Before all had been unchanging. In a state of inertia.
Moses explains in Genesis 1 that the evening & the morning were the first day do in fact prove that God created time.
or in Greek by (Hebrews 1:2) τους (THE) αιωνας (WORLDS) εποιησεν (HE MADE)For by him were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in Earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or Principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
(Colossians 1:16)
Prove that Yahweh created time. Earlier there was no time as change is time. We know and are again made aware that all things are by nature, finite. They have a beginning, middle and end. Yahweh is the beginning and the end, beyond time, beyond the reach of mortals. Yet, there was no time before Creation, since the world was brought into being with time rather than in time. God is beyond the boundaries of time.
The word “Science” comes from the Latin word scientia meaning “knowledge.” What we call “Science” seeks to recognize, explain, and classify knowledge of the material world. Yahweh, the Lord of the celestial sphere and the Earth, is also the God of natural sciences. God, in His Word, encourages man to consider the true sciences. For the invisible things of Him from the foundation of the Universe are clearly examined, being understood by the things that are made, even his everlasting power and Godhead; so that they are without regret. (Rom. 1:20). Scripture also says, “Thy word is Truth” (John 17:17). Hence there is no conflict between true science and the true teaching of the Bible.
One word that haunts discussion of our astonishing capacity to make sense of the Universe is the word Logos. In Western civilization, its most notable occurrence is in the extraordinary opening verse of the Gospel according to John: “In the beginning was the Logos.” This has kept thousands of commentators busy, because Logos, which is often translated ‘word’ or ‘reason’, do a lot of work – encompassing the Word that was Yahweh’s command that the Universe should come into being as well as the Word that was made Flesh in the Body of Christ in fulfilment of a Promise of salvation. The Logos is the origin of everything. God (created)energy, time (in the beginning), matter (Earth) and space (Heavens).
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into The Kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his Blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible Elohim, the firstborn of all Creation: For by him were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in Earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or Principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the Body, the assembly: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
(Colossians 1:13-18)
There came about great land masses and high mountains, wide barren places and heaving waters. In Earth’s crust and you can dig up a selection of radioactive elements. While we might think of the earth’s magnetic field as protecting us from radiation, it does little to protect us from what is right under our feet. The core of the earth is a solid lump of nickel and iron, rotating in a sea of molten iron and nickel. Most of the radioisotopes on Earth reside in the core, where the heat from their decay keeps the core molten, the tectonic plates moving, and the dynamo deep in the Earth rotates. This rotation functions the same way winding up a handheld generator does, giving Earth an enormous magnetic field that extends up to 50,000 kilometers out into space. If it were not for radioisotopes, the core would cool, the magnetic field would disappear. The magnetic field is crucial for life on Earth, as without it we would be exposed to the full force of the Sun’s radiation, and the earth would slowly become uninhabitable.
We have exactly the right amount of water so that our Universe has both oceans and habitable continents. Scientists think Earth was a dry rock, so where did this essential chemical, H2O, come from? The undeniable importance of water as a medium for developing life and that the earth's dis-tance from the Sun allowed a surface temperature just capable of maintaining water as a liquid, is in itself so miraculous it can act as a standalone factual proof of Divine intelligent design. Every one to two years, everything is in precise alignment, and we can witness the spectacular event known to us as a total solar eclipse. Coincidentally, while the sun’s width is about four hundred times larger than that of the moon, the sun is also about four hundred times further away. This makes the sun and the moon appear almost identical in size when seen from Earth. The sun having a diameter of 1.4 million kilometers and the moon having a diameter of barely 3,475 kilometers, it seems almost impossible that the moon is able to block the sun’s light. But it does! It appears that we are simply in the right place at the right time to witness this phenomenon.
Fertile greenness covered the country and abundant life swarmed in the oceans and swamps with reeds. While Earth may not be the biggest planet in the system, it is the biggest rocky planet in the solar system, and also the densest. Therefore, Earth has by far the highest surface gravity of any terrestrial object in the solar system. Metals are hidden in the rocks and precious stones in the soil. We had just the right balance of heavy elements and organic molecules — for life to arise. The core was too light. Today, researchers continue to guess at which elements account for the density deficit beneath our feet.Amber and silver were scattered and secreted. There was metal for tools and forest of lumber. Available was stone for every purpose, for now, Earth throbbed with the vitality of life. Everything was prepared, everything was ready, and now Earth awaited the coming of the human race.
Humanity, was then created from dust, or earthly substance alone. Life started and sustained it for our planet’s entire history, and gave rise to us: sentient, selfaware creatures. And so, there was the beginning and then the garden, and it was in this very garden man found himself literally as well as figuratively. Yahweh ensured that His Universe and His chosen species should be so designed, that the latter should make sense of the former. The most basic life components, such as amino acids and vitamins, have been found on ice grains inside asteroids and in the most extreme environments on Earth. Figuring out how these parts combined to form the first life is one of biology's biggest hurdles.
The Creation of man is described as the pinnacle of Yahweh's creative activity. God has identified human beings at the focal point of his attention, to redeem them for Himself and to live with them always. The nature of man on Earth was shaped after the nature of things in Heaven, and humans possessed all things held as potential within himself, except Divine life. But he was yet an untrained, undisciplined child, still nurtured simply upon the comforting embrace of the visible, which is Earth and the material Universe.
However, human beings could not know things, not of Earth. Spirit alone, could not soothe him. They were granted the exclusive right of regular communication with Yahweh (Genesis 2:15-17; 3:8) One adult male and one female was appointed, not entirely as the progenitors of our race but also as Yahweh's agents, His curators and caretakers over the Cosmos and they would hold dominion over Yahweh's complete earthly estate. He breathed into man the breath of Eternal Life. As the sun makes light and Fire spread heat, so does the Central Light give forth a unseeable glow, and this our fathers called the Breath of Yahweh. Into Adam’s sleeping Body Yahweh implanted a figment of Himself, the Seed of a Sensitive consciousness/soul and within him was a spark from that Creator Source. A human being “the mortal” became human beings “the heir of Yahweh”. Scripture explicitly differentiates the origin of soul from the origin of the Body (Ecclesiastes 12:7; Isaiah 42:5; Zechariah 12:1; Hebrews 12:9).
As the Spirit filled the Body of man, so did Yahweh fill His Creation. Aristotle uses his familiar matter/form distinction to define First actuality as a capacity to enlist in an action. They both were made with a certain configuration, with the characteristics of mind, emotions, personality, and will. Since form is what makes matter “the sensitive soul“ is the form of a living thing. Not its shape, but its actuality. Man, were created "in His image" (Gene-sis1:26-27), and were made creative, imaginative, inventive, artistic, capable of loving and being loved and above all, able to worship. Had human beings not been created, who would have known Yahweh's Wisdom and power? Thus, if we have been made in “His image” Yahweh’s form must also consist of Yahweh’s actuality or potential. An unlimited potential! This brought about the possibility that man, likewise, could take an environment contrary to the perfect ways of Yahweh, due to the wrong motivational intent. When Yahweh raised man up from among the beasts, choosing him as His heir and endowing him with an immortal Spirit, the limited understanding of man saw imperfection in that which was stark for its determination. As long as Theosophy, the science of the Spirit, has not enlarged our conceptions, and the art of laying bare the soul, our eyes will be left unopened.
There are only three levels of consciousness that Earth is actually experiencing right now. The First level is primal, the second level is our present consciousness, and the third level is the Divine Spirit, the one we are about to enter. The Bible never confuses Spirit and Soul as though they are the same. After the Fall, there were only two human conditions left around the Earth; the Body and the Soul.
