The oceans, seas, and rivers were filled with every variety of fish to create a balanced environment within that large portion of earth that is covered with water. Then that great God, the Word, who became Jesus Christ, created beauty and variety within the fowl and bird family. Such beauty and variety are breathtaking. By the sixth day of creation and construction of life on spaceship earth, Jesus Christ was ready for the creation of the animal kingdom. As the day wore on, God was finally ready for that final act of creation on a physical level--man (Gen. 1:3-31).

Since Jesus Christ and God the Father had planned over long periods of time the bone structure, the cardiovascular system to transport life sustaining blood, the muscular system, the circulatory system, and all the intricate functioning of the human body, now was the most joyous moment of creation; when He could bend down and take the various elements from the ground and compose, mold, fashion the human body, to actually MAKE man and woman. Think of the joy, the ecstatic feelings that surged through Christ as He bent down and breathed into their nostrils the breath of life and saw man BECOME A LIVING SOUL (Gen. 2:7). What anticipation, exhilaration, joy, and pleasure Jesus Christ must have experienced to finally see man ALIVE, ready for a life long experience of developing the very character of God by obeying His revealed laws given the very next day.

After six days of creating a perfectly balanced environment for birds, fish, animals, and mankind to live within, Jesus Christ did a most astonishing thing--He rested and was refreshed. Jesus Christ rested the seventh day, sanctified, blessed, and set it apart for holy use. He set

aside one 24 hour period to be used to learn who Jesus Christ really is when He would reveal Himself as our Saviour some 4,000 years after creation (Gen. 2:2-3). He gave one 24 hour period of getting our minds off the physical necessities to keep us alive physically, and onto the spiritual things that can keep us alive FOREVER.

More of Christ's Greatness

After the first parents of the human race rejected the revealed way of life Jesus Christ (the Word) had given them on the seventh day of creation, they were driven from the garden of God (Gen. 3). As time elapsed and a population explosion began to occur, men turned wholesale into evil. Every thought, desire, intent, and imagination of the human heart became engrossed in evil on a continual basis. This constant state of evil caused Jesus Christ (the Word) to become sick in heart and mind at man's sickening state to the extent that He was sorry that He had created man in his own image. It grieved Him that violence and corruption had overtaken ALL FLESH except Noah. Out of great compassion and mercy, Jesus Christ brought a worldwide flood that destroyed all life forms that were not with Noah in the ark. Christ knew that those human beings would never be able to change such evil character and accept Him as Saviour when their time came if He allowed them to continue living in such an evil state of mind. Thus, the greatness of the Word (Jesus Christ) prevailed in showing such compassion and mercy on a corrupt world (Gen. 6-7).

After the worldwide flood that destroyed mankind, except eight people, the population once again increased, and men began to build cities, states, and governments. Jesus Christ stepped down out of the heavens and began to deal with a man, Abram. Jesus Christ made promises to Abram that were awesome in scope, but He had and still has the power to make them happen centuries later, and they are still happening today. He made the dual promises of national greatness AND the coming of the Saviour of all mankind through the seed or offspring of Abram (Gen. 12 :1-3 ).

In keeping His promise to Abraham (means father of many nations), Jesus Christ brought absolute and total destruction upon the nation of Egypt. The destruction to the fields, landscape, buildings, cattle, and people was so great that they have not recovered even today as a world power (Ex. 5-12). Jesus Christ, in His final display of power while liberating Israel from Egypt, parted the Red Sea and let Israel walk across on DRY land, while the entire Egyptian army with its king drowned (Ex. 14). The fame of God (Jesus Christ before His human birth) spread over all the populated world that caused peoples everywhere to fear this small newfound nation called Israel.

Israel Rejects Jesus Christ

As Moses led Israel to the foot of Mt. Sinai where Jesus Christ was to speak to them the Ten Commandments, He descended down upon the Mount with an awesome display of power and might. He came down onto Mt. Sinai in the midst of fire, smoke, and quaking, so that the people thought an earthquake was taking place. In spite of this breathtaking display of magnificence, after Christ had given the Ten Commandments with his own voice, the people asked Moses to speak...
