The Third Moment of Creation

When I say, "third moment of creation," people tend to ask, "When was there a second?"  Well, Genesis 1 & 2 respectively indicate two distinct moments of creation.  The first of which was Genesis 1:26 when God makes Man and Woman like Himself on the sixth day.  Subsequent to this does God rest which is the seventh day.  And only after "resting" does He formulate Adam from the ground as indicated in Genesis 2.  This is the second moment of creation. 

The moment Adam named the animals and the moment in which God created Eve from Adam's rib could also be considered distinct moments of creation, but given that all of these are moments in which what was was strictly spirit became also natural; I link them as all one moment, the second moment of creation.

To separate these two moments more clearly . . .

In the first moment of creation Man and Woman were created as spirit and soul.  In the second moment of creation, Man and Woman also became body.

In the first moment, God gave Man and Woman dominion over the earth.  In the second moment, God makes Man, with Adam, and Woman, with Eve, legal residents of the world He had given them dominion over.

What should be clear is that these two moments of creation were results of God's divine will.  The third moment of creation by contrast to the other two should have never occurred.  The third moment of creation is the moment Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden.

Spawned in this moment were things God never intended to be true of Man and the world over which he ruled; the sin nature, sickness, poverty, and death.  As a true indication of how powerful Man is as the only creation made in God's image and likeness, Man created his own suffering and death. 

Death being a separation of the spirit and soul from the body, a separation God never intended.  In other word's, Man's creation reversed God's creation which is legal in this realm over which Man has dominion, i.e. the natural or earthly realm; and God could do nothing about it.

By sinning, Man created hurricanes, tornadoes, global warming, genocide, terrorism, starvation, war, etc., etc.  And all this, Man void of the revelation of self, has come to accept as his reality.

But the point of discussing this third moment of creation was to indicate that it was never meant to be.  And because that's true, the third moment of creation is a reality but does not have to be your reality.  You can walk in your divine authority.  You can choose not to succumb to your sin nature.  You can exist in the natural realm free of poverty and sickness.  And even with a natural death sentence, you can still achieve eternal life.

God had a plan for Man's existence.  Allow His plan to define your life.

The Reason God Never Planned to Physically Walk in the Earth

God's voice is silent, and His presense is invisible in this realm tangible to the natural senses.  This causes many to simply say He doesn't exist.  But God is ever purposeful in the decisions He makes to include why He's intagible to your natural senses.  And if you'll just spend some time with Him, He'll explain what His rationale is . . .

In Genesis 1:26, the Godhead made two statements concerning Man and Woman that would define them eternally:  (1) let Us make them in Our image and likeness, and (2) let them have dominion.  I believe the second statement was born of the first; it wouldn't be true that we're made in His image and likeness unless we had our own domain over which to rule.  God has a domain; in order to truly make us like Himself, He'd have to give us a domain.

It is unfortunate for Man to say that seeing is believing because the fact that you do NOT see Him is truly gift from Him—truly a result of His love for us.  Ask yourself, if you could see God's face or hear God's voice in this realm, would you question who actually owns this realm?  Most people would.  Some would, perhaps even humbly, relinquish control in the earth to God as the creator.  But that is specifically why He made Himself invisible to you.  Because there'd be no question in your "natural" mind that the natural realm belongs to you.

Be ever mindful that position in God's kingdom is both a privilege and a responsibility.  Having our own domain over which to rule is definitely a privileged state of existence, but we are also charged with its upkeep.  All manner of evil exists in this world.  But our mentality should be to take back what is rightfully ours instead leaving our domain over to our adversary.  You may be looking to the Heavens to solve earth's problems, but God gave us this realm over which to rule.  He also has since given us Christ's blood, the Holy Spirit, and His written Word, the Holy Bible.  This being true, when it comes to making this world the world believers truly want to live in, the Heavens actually look back at us.
