All was nothing,
And then God created light.
And by light, there was dark,
And they separated.
The light of the universe was day
And the dark of the universe was night.
Then, God said, "Let there be a firmament"
To which, the waters of the Earth's magma
Separated from the waters of outer space.
And God said of the waters of space,
That it was heaven.
And God said of the waters of the Earth,
That it was land.
Then, the LORD gathered the waters from heaven
And brought them to Earth from comets
And asteroids, and gathered the waters
When the Earth cooled, and there began the continents.
And there was the Ocean and the Cooled Earth.
Then, before the stars had formed,
Before the sun had formed,
Before the moon had formed,
The first vestals of herbal life
Appeared in the waters;
And they grew.
They made fruit, and they made grassy algae;
And they covered the earth.
Then, the Sun was formed,
And the Moon was formed,
And the stars had been given birth.
And God patterned the stars
In the pattern of Christ and His story.
So that all would know Who the Messiah was.
For, there is the Triune
The Cross, David with his sling,
Mary giving birth, Goliath slain,
And the Dragon and Elisha's Bear.
The moon and the sun ordained time and season.
And the waters brought forth creatures
And then there came the Dinosaurs.
And the Fowl multiplied upon the Earth.
And they grew, and became mighty.
God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful
"And multiply in the Earth!"
And then God said, "Let the earth bring forth its cattle
And creeping things!" For now, what was in the sea
Had come to the land, and what was on the land
Had come to the sea. And everything had been reversed
In the order of God's creation.
And the creeping things came forth,
The mice scampered, the insects grew small,
The lizards crept forth on the ground.
And God fashioned them after their kinds,
And said, "Be fruitful and multiply."
And then God said, "Let Us
"Make Man in our own image."
So, he made man. And from man
He fashioned woman.
Yet, Man had been created on the first day
Our spiritual souls,
While the flesh world was created six days,
Separating the spirit from the flesh.
And God said, "It is good."
Thus, He rested when His work was finished,
On the seventh day of Creation,
To give us example, and to not overburden ourselves with work.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
