Dear Editors: Although Mankind will never see the full extent and splendor of the Spectacle of God’s Great Creations, nevertheless, He created everything on, and in, Heaven and Earth, seen and unseen!
From the dust of the Earth, which He spoke into being, He created and formed Adam, in God’s image. He turned Adam into flesh, with trillions of cells, then He breathed a spirit/soul into him, and “man became a living soul.” A full-grown Man.
God put Adam to sleep, removed a rib, then Formed Eve, a Woman, and gave her a spirit/soul, and she became his wife.
Adam and Eve were the first humans who began to see a very minute part of God’s great spectacle creation. Their view of heaven and earth was based on what the eye could see from the Garden of Eden.
We can only imagine they were awed to see mountains at a distance, trees, rivers, fish, birds, beautiful flowers, animals, etc.
Slowly since then, what they saw then has been greatly magnified by God. He has used Mankind to craft and build things to expose his creations to humanity.
One must remember, that when one composes, crafts, or builds something, that God made us, and that God claims and deserves to take the credit for that job because perhaps, that was the purpose he made us for, and are fulfilling his assignment.
Progressively, led by God, Mankind has invented cameras and other things, where now we are able to see and record what God created under the water and ocean surface on earth to certain depths.
Just seeing all the beautiful colorful fish, of different sizes, shapes, and stripes, and many other species of underwater residents will leave one in awe of God’s creative power. For feeding them, God provided vegetation, and no telling what else, to grow underwater. We should especially be awed when one considers Mankind has only seen a very tiny bit of underwater and undersea areas on earth.
God has no limit as to what he does and what he can do!
When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, after she told the Serpent, that God told them not to eat or touch the fruit from the forbidden tree, “lest ye die.” The serpent said, “ye shall not surely die:” God knows that when you eat the fruit it will open your eyes, and be like gods, knowing good and evil.
They listened to the Devil and were evicted from the Garden by God who then posted angels with flaming swords to keep Mankind out!
Since then, we, their descendants, although we may know good from evil, tend to prefer evil instead of doing good, thereby disobeying God, who commands us to do Good.
Eventually, when Adam and Eve’s, descendants became so wicked, and that all they could do in their “minds” and “hearts” was only evil continually,” “it repented the LORD that he had made man on earth.” God decided that he would destroy “both Man and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air” whom he had created.
But in Noah, he found him to be “a just man” in his generations, and Noah walked with God.”
Then God gave Noah, his wife, their three sons, and their wives, a second chance to repopulate the earth. He also provided for repopulating the animals.
But the wicked did not believe Noah when he told them God was going to send a great flood to destroy them. Over the hundred years, Noah kept preaching to them while he and his family built the ship, Noah’s Ark.
So God sent the flood and destroyed them all and the animals left behind.
Oddly enough, just 101 years after the Great Flood, and while Noah was alive, Nimrod, “the son of Cush, and therefore a great-grandson of Noah”, having a reputation of greatness, rebelled against God, got plenty of help and started building the Tower of Babel, to go to Heaven.
Then the Creator came down to view the tower, and then confused their language so they could not communicate with each other and relocated them all over the Earth.
There are other examples, in the “Word of God”, where God relocated, even his Favorite Nation of Israel. They were punished far more severely, by the enemies God brought against them, for abandoning Him, worshipping idols, and sacrificing their children to the idols.
The Israelites were killed by the invading armies, and those that were not killed were enslaved, in the enemies’ countries.
In 1948, the United Nations restored Israel to National Status. That affirmed God’s promise to Israel that he would bring them back and restore them.
Besides Romans 11:26 Where it says, “And all Israel shall be saved: as it is written. There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. Then in 11:27 is the clincher, and says, “For this is my covenant unto them I shall take away their sins.” That’s God’s promise, and God keeps his promises.
In this present time in America, and in the whole world, it is easy to see what God created and enjoy the splendor and the spectacle of God’s Great Creation. It is everywhere and it includes you because he personally formed you in your mother’s womb and gave you life. Your life started at conception and God already knew you, and there is no one else like you. You are unique! God gave you a spirit/soul at the very beginning. God kept you alive, even if they haven’t invented the instrument which can pick up the sound of the tiny heartbeat.
