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. And the evening and the morning were the third day. Genesis 1:9-13
NOTE: God created a mature world. The trees already had fruit on them.
Q6 God had one more major addition to make before adding things that breathe, what was it?
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
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. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. Genesis 1:14-19
Q7 On the fifth day God spoke again and the world teemed with life. What had God made?
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. Genesis 1:20-23
Q8 On the sixth and last day of Creation what other living things did God add to the new world?
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. 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 that it was good. Genesis 1:24,25.
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee. He is the chief of the ways of God: Job 40:15,19
Q9 God had seen that the new world was a good place, but something was missing. It needed a caretaker. How did God express this?
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
Q10 By what method had God created the things that He had made?
And God said, let there be light. Genesis 1:3
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass. Genesis 1:11
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament. Genesis 1:14
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly. Genesis 1:20
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature. Genesis 1:24
For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. Psalm 33:9
Q11 How did God make the first human being?
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7
NOTE: This time God did not speak. Adam was special. He was hand-made by God. |
