Even we ourselves, who came by natural processes of birth, are said to be formed out of clay and made from the dust of the earth (Job 10:9; Ecclesiastes 3:20). All rights reserved. Philosophy believes neither, in a vain effort to account for all by what is, or rather appears; for it knows nothing, not even the present, as it ought to know. So we find what shows the folly of this yet more in what follows: "And they that went in went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and Jehovah shut him in." Need it be said that as far as its efficacy is concerned, and God's delight in it, He doers not wait for the new heavens and the new earth, either to enjoy it Himself or make known its value to us? Cain was born, and the fallen mother gave the name: but, oh, what a mistake! However this is merely by the way, for it is evidently a matter of no great importance in itself, save that we should hold the entire account of Paradise to be historical in the strictest and fullest sense. And I wouldn't mind the final chapter being written up there anyhow. (Compare also Leviticus 6:4 with Leviticus 27:12, and for the use of to denote a norm, or sample, Exodus 25:40; Exodus 30:32, Exodus 30:37, etc.) . So God placed the earth under man's control and authority. "And Noah did according unto all that Jehovah commanded.". The most vaulting pride always has the deepest fall. Explanation and Commentary of Genesis 1:26 On the sixth day, God created the crown jewel of his creation, mankind. But if God had such care for us before we existed, he will by no means leave us destitute of food and of other necessaries of life, now that we are placed in the world. Man was to be a creature different from all that had been hitherto made. The grand question to be tried we have afterwards. 2. ], One writer sought to retain six literal days of creation and to harmonize them with an old age earth model, allowing a long period of time (possibly billions of years) between Genesis 1:2-3. De Profugis, p. 460.

Christians, therefore, properly contend, from this testimony, that there exists a plurality of Persons in the Godhead. No other explanation is left, therefore, than to regard it as pluralis majestatis, - an interpretation which . You've got something over me. Notwithstanding in the midst of the scene of desolation we hear Adam calling his wife's name "Eve" (ver. Creation and redemption bear witness to His glory, instead of communicating aught of His own dignity. But here the question is respecting that glory of God which peculiarly shines forth in human nature, where the mind, the will, and all the senses, represent the Divine order. These again are of less importance than the land, which man tills and renders fruitful in all that can gratify his appetite or his taste. It is not the fact that Genesis 2:7; Genesis 2:19, represents man as created first of all living creatures before the birds and beasts; any more than that man created in God's image (Genesis 1:27) contradicts the statement ofGenesis 2:7; Genesis 2:7, that he was formed of the dust of the ground. His will complied readily and universally with the will of God, without reluctancy or resistance. This chapter shows the folly and sin of the worship of light, of sun, moon, or star, of air or water, of plant, of fish or fowl, of earth, of cattle, creeping thing or wild beast, or, finally, of man himself; as all these are but the creatures of the one Eternal Spirit, who, as the Creator of all, is alone to be worshipped by his intelligent creatures. 14-16.] Now, when God created our bodies, He created ears so that we could hear, designed them so that they would pick up sound vibrations that would bounce or vibrate the little incus stapes, and bones in there and send these vibrations into the brain that my brain would interpret as words and sounds and make it intelligible to me. * If Canaan drew his father into the shameful exposure of Noah, all can see how just the sentence was. Marvelous are His ways. Now, not only may it be the simple fact that Elohim alone was used, but, further, on account of it, the historian would not introduce here the name of special relationship which the enemy was above all anxious to have if possible forgotten, and which the woman in fact did soon forget when she allowed one to work on her mind whose first aim was to sow distrust of God. Gods plurality anticipated mans plurality. Hence, wherever man enters he makes his sway to be felt.

Kadmon the ancient Adam, as the cause of causes, of whom it is Simpler forms of life then began to appear. For God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth, and God is seeking such to worship Him.So the very first commandment that God gave was "Thou shalt have no other Gods before me." It may be observed, that the plural number is used, "let them", which shows that the name "man" is general in the preceding clause, and includes male and female, as we find by the following verse man was created: and over the cattle, and over all the earth; over the tame creatures, either for food, or clothing, or carriage, or for all of them, some of them for one thing, and some for another; and over all the wild beasts of the earth, which seem to be meant by the phrase, "over all the earth"; that is, over all the beasts of the earth, as appears by comparing it with Genesis 1:24 so as to keep them in awe, and keep them off from doing them any damage: and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; to make use of it as should seem convenient for them. You cannot, as a rule, anticipate facts; you cannot discern the truth beforehand. 26 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. But as the identity of "every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth" () with "every thing that creepeth upon the ground" () in Genesis 1:25 is not absolutely certain; on the contrary, the change in expression indicates a difference of meaning; and as the Masoretic text is supported by the oldest critical authorities (lxx, Sam., Onk. This act of creation, too, like all that precede it, is shown by the divine word "good" to be in accordance with the will of God. These are both very good. I call your attention for a moment to this. And God said, Let us make man in our image, and 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. In the first place, we are told elsewhere that God is a spirit (John 4:24; Isaiah 31:3) and that he is ubiquitous (1 Kings 8:27). God, having made them capable of transmitting the nature they had received, said to them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. By what formal test was he proved outside? Man alone, as deriving that which gave him the breath of life not from his body but from the breath of Jehovah-Elohim, gives an account to God. Only a plurality of persons can justify the phrase. It is not concerned with the sort of investigation that modern science is concerned with. Hitherto they had been of one lip; but combining to make a name to themselves, lest they should be scattered, not to exalt God nor confide in Him, they had their language confounded, and themselves dispersed. Cain brought what might have sufficed in an unfallen world what might have suited an innocent worshipper of One who was simply known as Elohim. Then began men to call upon the name of Jehovah. Cain looked at Him in the place merely of a Creator, and there was his wrong. Yet such misunderstandings occur. Genesis 2:18.). I can understand, when all is clear, a word used figuratively; but nothing would be so likely to let elements of difficulty into the subject, as at once giving us in tropical language what elsewhere is put in the simplest possible forms. The sixth day, as being the last, is distinguished above all the rest by the article - "a day, the sixth" (Gesenius, 111, 2a). (f) Vet. The condition of man was altogether different then from what it became immediately after. By no means. There is one characteristic of divine revelation to which attention may be profitably called as a starting point. (Genesis 2:1-3). Genesis 1:2 The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. This consists rather in the fact, that the man endowed with free self-conscious personality possesses, in his spiritual as well as corporeal nature, a creaturely copy of the holiness and blessedness of the divine life. But it would be necessary for those seeds to propagate themselves into other areas. Do you not understand that this was the very essence of the trial? We accept both as true. There was no fear then. Though the twins may have come from the same cell, divided and thus, they have the same chromosome content and gene content as each other, yet the variations that develop, I just am amazed at creation. If she possesses all along with Him, it is because of her union with Him, not intrinsically. It is not said in Genesis 1:27 that man and woman were created together; or that the woman was created directly, and not formed out of one of the man's ribs. All the inferior powers were subject to the dictates and directions of the superior, without any mutiny or rebellion. The insertion of the substantive verb, as has been remarked, expresses no doubt a condition past as compared with what follows, but pointedly not said to be contemporaneous with what preceded, as would have been implied in its omission; but what interval lay between, or why such a desolation ensued, is not stated. The simple statement of the facts is that which is worthy of God. Cosmic order consists of clearly demarcating the various elements of the universe. I need not dwell on the sad history which we all know more or less. The thing indeed is true; but I do not think that anything of the kind entered the mind of Moses. God has the capacity to reason, so He created us with the ability to reason. This explanation involves what some people call, sometimes disparagingly, the "gap theory," which shows that the Bible allows for a long time interval between verse 1 and verse 2 of Genesis 1. Now God is honored when I follow Him, and I love as He loves. They sprout out a little parachute on top of the seed and they just wait for the wind to come along, and the wind comes and lifts the seed. It was the essential feature that the trial should be simply a question of God's authority in prohibition, not one of grave moral evil. I am capable of loving, of giving and receiving love, and to know the meaningfulness of giving and receiving love, because I am created in the image of God and that's His chief emotional characteristic; is to love. Such views as making it like an editorial "we," or the majesterial plural, or as an inclusion of angelic hosts or other heavenly beings are totally inadequate. Psalms 8:5. It is not, but rather of moral relationship. Does he have sexual organs, and if so, which? "Thou madest him (man) a little lower than the angels; Thou crownest him with glory and honor, and didst set him over the works of thy hands" (Hebrews 2:5-7). And this we may safely say, That he by whom God made the worlds, not only the great world, but man the little world, formed the human body, at the first, according to the platform he designed for himself in the fulness of time. 27-27; Oswald Allis, God Spake by Moses, p. Psalm 147:4 and Isaiah 40:26 tell us God has the stars all numbered and God has a name for them all. In conclusion, the food of both man and beast is pointed out in Genesis 1:29, Genesis 1:30, exclusively from the vegetable kingdom. 64. fol.

The world was living in harmony with God, and thus in harmony with each other.And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. The Text of Genesis 1:26-28. *Is it not the more captiousness of criticism to set the general phrase "the day," etc., against the precision of the six days in the previous section? Thus, as God appeared to man in the Old Testament, there was no form, so that man would not think of God in the terms of a form and try to carve out a form that would represent God.The likeness of God we see in Jesus Christ; the fullness of the Godhead bodily dwells in Christ. Almost every word gives evidence of it. How suited to the true God, who perfectly knew the truth and would make it known to man! In the beginning matter did not co-exist with God. God made but one male and one female, that all the nations of men might know themselves to be made of one blood, descendants from one common stock, and might thereby be induced to love one another. Genesis 11:7; Psalms 2:3). Men have been planting grains of wheat for millenniums and he has yet to plant a grain of wheat and have a corn stalk grow out of it. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Read the Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28. The tremendous variety of life forms that I can see. The intention of Almighty God in the creation of man is revealed to have been the placement of man over the earth and all that is in it, an intention frustrated in part by man's rebellion in Eden, but finally realized despite all hindrances and delays in the era of the "new heavens and the new earth." I have this little system in my eyes with the vitreous jelly on the backside that is taking these little pictures at the rate of about eighteen per second and transmitting the vibrations on into the brain by which my eyes are interpreting the world around me and making it understandable as the vibrations are coming into my brain, and all of it's unscrambling and interpretation as these little flash vibrations are bounced in at eighteen per second. And then He said, "Thou shalt not make unto thyself any graven image or any likeness of God to bow down and to worship it". This cannot be, because a plurality of qualities exists in everything, without at all leading to the application of the plural number to the individual, and because such a plurality does not warrant the expression, "let us make." Here on the fifth day, now, we have the more complex life forms. which seem to be meant by the phrase, "over all the earth"; that The two terms occur in the very same verse; yet is there not an evident propriety in each case? Where, indeed, will they find that we were created after the image of the earth, or of angels? It is another statement added to what had just preceded, and by the Hebrew idiom not connected with it in time. See his Works, vol. He directs the ark to be made.

I wonder how long the pine tree could have existed before it decided, "I need to get my seeds out further" and it developed the little wing on the seed.There are other seeds that when the pod dries out they explode. Though man provides for neither, he has power over both, much more over every living thing that moveth upon the earth, which are more under his care and within his reach. Afterwards God tells Noah to come forth he and all the other creatures. By reason we apprehend concrete things in perception and consciousness, and cognize abstract truth, both metaphysical and moral. It opens thus: "And Jehovah said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark." See Pooles Synopsis. The water systems are all there, the animals, and now man to rule over it.

So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.". In the will is unfolded that freedom of action which chooses the good and refuses the evil. [Note: Henry F. Lazenby, "The Image of God: Masculine, Feminine, or Neuter?" "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." Sermon Bible Commentary.

Thus in Genesis 6:1-22 it is said that "the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence." And what followed after it? Please enter your email address associated with your Salem All-Pass account, then click Continue. "Most theologians have recognized that that [sic] we cannot interpret it [i.e., the phrase the image of God] literally-that is, that mans physical being is in the image of God. The first verse is not a summary. 1. But I often wonder why God made such weird-looking fish, in such variety, and then the fabulous colors! God certainly might here command by his bare word what he wished to be done: but he chose to give this tribute to the excellency of man, that he would, in a manner, enter into consultation concerning his creation. He made man the master over the earth. According to the account of creation in Genesis 1, the chief purpose of God in creating man is to bless him. It is not in this connection "created," it will be observed, but "made" them. God does not give such knowledge by direct revelation. Moral relationship? He has made the sea his highway to the ends of the earth, the stars his pilots on the pathless ocean, the sun his bleacher and painter, the bowels of the earth the treasury from which he draws his precious and useful metals and much of his fuel, the steam his motive power, and the lightning his messenger. For a summary gives in a few words that which is opened out afterwards; whereas the conjunction "and" introduced in the second verse excludes necessarily all notion of a summary here. But there is not an object within the ken of man which he does not aim at making subservient to his purposes. There we have delight in the man who had found grace in His eyes. Man. However, this explanation does violence to the Hebrew text. God saw His work, and behold it was all very good; i.e., everything perfect in its kind, so that every creature might reach the goal appointed by the Creator, and accomplish the purpose of its existence. And the common distinction is, that image exists in the substance, likeness in the accidents of anything. Thus, it appears from the very beginning that God is represented as a compound unity. And so I am always fascinated with the various kinds of ways that God designed for the seeds to propagate themselves.There are some little seeds that grow in the pinecones. I must be permitted here to say a word on a subject which, if it has called out enormous discussion, betrays in its course, I am sorry to say, no small amount of evident infidelity. Even scholars bring in their western notions from the familiar habit of counting the day from the morning to the evening It is the same thing with the account of the resurrection. Man was made the same day that the beasts were, because his body was made of the same earth with theirs; and, while he is in the body, he inhabits the same earth with them. The copulative would render it improper, and impossible to bear the character of a general introduction. - The relation of man to the creature is now stated. These words are directed not to the earth, out of which man was made, as consulting with it, and to be assisting in the formation of man, as Moses Gerundensis, and other Jewish writers F6, which is wretchedly stupid; nor to . "And they (, a generic term for men) shall have dominion over the fish," etc. No, but in judging the serpent there comes out the revealed purpose of God, not a promise to Adam in sin, but the revelation of One who would crush the serpent's head the first sinner and too successful tempter to sin. In closing the interpretation of this chapter, it is proper to refer to certain first principles of hermeneutical science. A third rule is to employ faithfully and discreetly whatever we can learn concerning the time, place, and other circumstances of the author to the elucidation of his meaning. But here comes a striking difference. God summons no foreign counsellor; hence we infer that he finds within himself something distinct; as, in truth, his eternal wisdom and power reside within him. It is the same principle inGenesis 4:1-26; Genesis 4:1-26, which we find more explicitly stated in Romans 2:1-29, where God shows His sure judgment of evil on the one hand, and His approval of that which is good, holy, and true on the other. This completes, then, the restoration of that order and fullness the absence of which is described in the second verse. If so, the shift to poetry may emphasize human beings as Gods image bearers.

Help us purchase electrical generators for churches. to their unbelief if they choose to despise or resist the word of God meanwhile. *How this agrees with the dispensational dealings of God with Israel needs no argument. In the post-diluvian earth God establishes principles which hold their course throughout the whole scene till Jesus came, or rather till He not only come and affirm by His own power and personal reign all the ways in which God has been testing and trying man, but deliver up the kingdom to the Father, that God may be all in all, when He shall have put down all rule, and all authority and power. But what characterises this scene is not the state in which man as such was this we had in Genesis 3:1-24 but what man did in that fallen state, and more especially what he did in presence of God and faith. See Notes 2 and 5, at page 75. He may not be able perhaps to meet objections. There was the whole matter. Unfortunately, this has not been made clear enough. Verse Genesis 1:26. "For thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. Human beings are its main concern, for they alone are made in Gods image. Now, that does not necessarily mean a physical likeness of God. He offers of the firstlings of his flock that which passed under death to Jehovah. Not so. And God set them in the heavens [the firmament, in the limitless space of heaven, the rachowq of 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 so Seth, to him also there was born a son, and he called his name Enos.
