"Let us make man in our image and after our likeness..."
Genesis 2:7 - Jesus is LORD God who formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Jesus is the <visible>image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15).
Amen.
God the Father created the body of Jesus in the incarnation (John 1:14, Hebrews 10:5) some 4,000 years after Jesus (preincarnate) created Adam (Genesis 1:26).
When there was no creation at all, whether in Heaven, the heavens (galaxy) or on earth, Jesus was first to be created by GOD the FATHER HIMSELF.
'Who is the image of the invisible GOD, the firstborn of (or over) all creation.' (Colossians 1:15&17)
'GOD so loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotten Son, ....................................................' (John 3:1)
Then later GOD by and through and for the Son, created all creation, whether in Heaven, the heavens (galaxy), on earth, in the ocean or under the earth. (Colossians 1:16&17)
The Son laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the Heavens (Heaven and galaxy) are the works of His hands. (Hebrews 1:10)
We must remember we are dealing with omniscient minds here. Jesus created Adam in the image and likeness of the body the Father would create in the future. Jesus is the prototype blueprint even though Adam was the first to be manufactured.
i want to reveal to you a mystery hidden in Genesis based on the creation of man. Please pay close attention to the verse, that vegetation plainly speaking, was created on the third day. And, most probably there already consist of Sun and water for them to sustain. Next, the man was created in the image of GOD and Son, on the sixth day.
But, note carefully, when Adam was created, there was no vegetation on earth. Nor, there were water to water the earth for their sustenance. This show, Adam was created to be inside the garden of Eden. With given instruction, to eat from the garden itself, and take care of the garden. Before, He and Eve were sent outside the garden, just a step or so into the world now. And, before an angel was placed to guard the entrance of the garden.
Therefore, the sixth day created man was created outside the garden of Eden, in the world. With given instruction unlike Adam's, to multiply and subdue the earth. Now, when Cain became a vagabond separated from Adam and Eve, he was apparently roaming the earth. And, that's where He met his wife, children multiplied by the sixth day created man and woman.
Remember, he complained to GOD, being out there he could be harmed by every one who finds him, human in other word ? Furthermore, Cain built a city, a kingdom, and named it after his son, meaning there were already many people there. (Genesis 4:7)
Hence, progressively later in Genesis 5:4, we are discovering, after fathering Seth at 800 years old, only then Adam went on to have sons and daughters.
Interesting, hope you got this.........
