Universe Creation

 

Scientists theorized that almost four and a half billion years ago,

Swirling gas and dust gravitated to form the planetary system.

Celestial bodies were formed, and Earth was the third planet from the Sun.

But what does Scripture say about how this was done?

 

In the beginning, God created the Universe.

The earth was void, dark, and formless.

HE created Light and called the light Day.

He called the darkness Night; He did this on the first Day.

 

God then made the sky to separate Heaven and Earth.

It was the second day of His great work.

Above the sky is called Heaven, where He lives.

The dry land below the sky, He called Earth,

 

God commanded the earth to grow grass, herbs, and fruit trees.

That was the third day, but more was yet to come on the fourth day.

In the firmament or sky, for signs, and seasons, God created lights.

The Sun to rule the day, and the Moon and Stars to rule the night.

 

On the fifth day, He created fish, whales, and sea mammals.

He also created fowl and birds to fly over the land.

God blessed them to be fruitful, to multiply, and fill the sea and land.

God’s work was not yet done, as he had more important work at hand.

 

On the sixth day, God created beasts of every kind,

But His master plan was to create humankind.

From the dust of the ground, God created Adam, the first human.

God also created Eve from Adam’s rib to be his companion.

 

Adam and Eve were privileged to live in God’s Garden of Eden.

He told them, ‘Be fruitful, multiply, fill the land, and obey My commands.’

God rested on the seventh day after He created the world.

God’s Creation was awesome and magnificent to behold.

 

As a result of the work of the Creator’s mighty hands,

The existence of animals, sea creatures, and humans began.

When Adam and Eve disobeyed His commands,

God banished them from His Kingdom to dwell on Earth’s lands.
