Genesis
Evolution or Creation?
“How do I come?” Have you ever asked this question when you were child? Children always asking, why and how do this world and human beings exist?
Many people would say that the existing of living things in this world is by evolved. The single cell is formed by chemical elements, and then change into small living things. After that, they became bigger and more complicated, and finally appearing all kinds of animals or plants in our world, including humans.
The Bible pointed out in Genesis that God used 6 creation days to create creatures on the earth. He created (1) light, (2) air, (3) exposing land to the surface of the water and creating various plants, (4) setting various climate cycles, (5) various fishes, various birds, (6) various livestock, insects, The beast and the first man and first woman.
All of these including humans, are they come from Evolution or Creation? Imagine how difficulty would be if a scientist wants to make a robot like human beings. If he wants to make this robot has ability to walk, run, thread needles, make tools, think independently, with beauty concept, has abstract thinking ability and wisdom, and discernment, and feel happy and pain… and self-awareness, knowing that this one exists is “I”. Do you think you can make it? Think about how difficulty and it is really an impossible task.
The mainly elements which formed human is water, that are H and O, plus some trace elements. In these atoms, electrons constantly and repeatedly rotate around the nucleus. And human beings are constructed by these materials. It can be say you are built by water and you are the transformation of water. And these materials(water) are constructing you. Wisdom, thinking ability, feeling, and self-awareness were also constructed by these materials.
Please Imagine, these elements “materials”(people) know how to build a submarine go into the deep sea, and make a spacecraft fly out of the earth, is it amazing like a magic? Did the DNA and human come from elements “constantly colliding each other”? Oh missing the most important thing, that is the spiritual soul has given to the human beings by God, this is the most important thing.
The first book of the Bible Genesis has pointed out how Jehovah God created humans on earth, and the last book of the Bible Revelation 21:3 and 4, it revealed that God will appear to us in the future. “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
Therefore, we must in faith of God, just as Jesus Christ emphasized that we must have faith. Believe God created the earth and mankind, believe Jesus was sent by God, believe God will solve various problems for us.
Psalm 139:14 says “I will give thanks to You, because I am awesomely and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.” We should give glory to the Creator, our loving Father, and to Jesus Christ. Amen.
There is an interesting question : Now we are on the sixth creation day, or on the seventh day God’s Rest?
If we are now on the 7th day, it means the 6th creation day has ended. Does the 6th creation day really end? What have been created on the 6th creation day? Let’s see…
Genesis 1:24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” — Has done.
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make man, our image, after our likeness.” — Has done.
Genesis 1:30 “And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” —Not yet done.
Genesis 3:14 God says to serpent, “and dust you shall eat all the days of your life”. — Not yet done(real serpent).
But why God says “and it was so” in the end of verse 30? That’s true. All words of God must be accomplished, that’s why God said “it was so”. We know it must be come true in the future, but not yet done now. So what does it means? It means we are still on the 6th Creation Day. We have to wait for the 7th day “God’s Rest Day” and the “Holy Day“.
God’s Rest Day
Ezekiel 20:15-16
15 Moreover, I swore to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land that I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the most glorious of all lands,
16 because they rejected my rules and did not walk in my statutes, and profaned my Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.
Hebrews 4:4-5,7-9
4 For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” 5 And again in this passage he said,
“They shall not enter my rest.”
7 again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. 9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10 for whoever has entered God’s rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
Therefore the 7th Day God’s Rest Day will be fullfilled in the New Heaven New Earth, when New Jerusalem is come.
Micah 4:1,2
1 It shall come to pass in the latter days
that the mountain of the house of YHWH
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
and it shall be lifted up above the hills;
and peoples shall flow to it,
2 and many nations shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of YHWH,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
and the word of YHWH from Jerusalem.
Revelation 21:1,10,26
1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth…
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,
26 They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.
Ezekiel 20:40-41
40 “For on my holy mountain, the mountain height of Israel, declares the Lord God, there all the house of Israel, all of them, shall serve me in the land. There I will accept them, and there I will require your contributions and the choicest of your gifts, with all your sacred offerings.
41 As a pleasing aroma I will accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered. And I will manifest my holiness among you in the sight of the nations.
Isaiah 25:6-8
6 On this mountain YHWH of hosts will make for all peoples
a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine,
of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.
7 And he will swallow up on this mountain
the covering that is cast over all peoples,
the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 He will swallow up death forever;
and YHWH God will wipe away tears from all faces,
and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,
for YHWH has spoken.
Finally, Genesis 1:30 will be fulfilled. And the sixth day is ended, the 7th Day Rest Day is come.
Isaiah 65:25
25 The wolf and the lamb shall graze together;
the lion shall eat straw like the ox,
and dust shall be the serpent’s food.
They shall not hurt or destroy
in all my holy mountain,”
says YHWH.
Genesis 1:30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” — complete done.
Genesis 3:14 God says to serpent, “and dust you shall eat all the days of your life”. — complete done.
Genesis 2:2,3
2 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done.
3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.
At that time we can enter and enjoy God’s Rest Day. Amen. The 7th creation day is related to the Revelation of <New Heaven New Earth> and <New Jerusalem>.
