The Story of manâs creation and the origins of the creation of Heaven and earth  can be found in the book of Genesis which is called the beginning or the book of beginnings. This book is the first of five books known commonly as the Pentatauch written by the hand of the  prophet Moses and Inspired by Jesus Christ. If you ask a person who has any knowledge of the bible at all when man was created they will automatically say on the 6th day. And I always say that is the correct answer. If you ask the question when was Adam created through whom the Lord Jesus would come through whom the nation of Israel would be birth was created? The answer would be the 6th day and that is not correct. Over the years many have tried to give answers for the different races found all over the world and have never given a satisfactory answer to me and as a bible teacher it is my desire to provide people who are earnestly seeking truth with scripturally sound teaching and the abillity to have biblcal proof to back up what they believe.
Before we continue on in our study we want to point out that the theory behind the literal 6 24 hour period days of creation is not sound biblcal teaching seeing God is not bound by time and time was made for us and God is not bound by our time. God habitat or his dwelling place in Eternity and Eternity is from everlasting to everlasting. (Isaiah 57:15) For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. (Psalms 90:2) Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. God is not bound by our time but the Apostle Peter tells us in ( 2 peter 3:8 ) But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. So we present to that each day of creation lasted 1,000 years and not 24 hours.
The Lord told Adam when he had warned him about each the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the day you eat you shall surely die. ( Genesis 2:17) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Some falsely teach Adam died spiritually when he sinned but this is not true seeing he was a living soul and not an immortal soul (Genesis 2:7) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. A day with the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day and Adam died in the very day (1,000 year day) as the Lord said he would. (Genesis 5: 5) And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. Adam died at the age of 930 and died within the day (1,000 years ) when he ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
The first 5 days of creation after the Lord made Heaven and the earth God created: (Genesis 1:1-23)
God created light and saw that it was good and seperated light (good) from darkness (evil) and called the light day and the darkness He called night and the evening and the morning were the first day. Notice He saw the light that it was good. This happened before the Sun, Moon or the stars were ever created. (Genesis 1: 3-5) 3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.  5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
God created the firmament in the midst of the waters and the firmament was called heaven (atmosphere) this is found in (Genesis 1: 7-8 ). The heaven was according to these verses of scripture was in the middle of the waters and heaven was made to divide the waters under the firmament (heaven) and above the firmament (heaven). (Genesis 1:7-8 )Â 7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. The waters above the firmament are the same waters referred to as the windows of Heaven being opened during the flood and the foundatins of the deep were broken up meaning the water falling that was like a protective canopy that surrounded the earth fell as rain and the waters from the seas and oceans and rivers rose up out of their place and flooded the earth. (Genesis 7:11) In the six hundredth year of Noahâs life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
God in the third day caused all the waters under heaven to be gathered unto one place and called it the seas. he caused the earth to appear and call from out of the ground the grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. So many teach God made everything as it appears automatically and just spoke and it was so but my bible tells me that He made the earth and placed within it the abillity to bring forth grass and herbs and seed and trees and this is not accomplished in a 24 hour day. ( Genesis 1: 11-12) 11And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.  12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. This is not evolution but design by Jesus Christ the one who made the earth with the seed inside the earth.
God in the fourth day made lights in the firmament (heavens) to divide the day from the nightand to be for signs, for seasons, days and years. God created them to be lights in the Heaven and to give light upon the earth. Jesus made the Sun to rule the day and the Moon to rule the night and made the stars also. He gave the greater light (Sun) to rule the day and the lesser light (moon) to rule the night and to divide light from darkness.
God in the fifth day made the great whales and the fowls)birds) of the air and the waters brought forth abundantly the moving creature that has life and the winged fowl after his kind and God told them be fruitful and to multiply and replenish the earth.
God in the sixthd ay caused the earth to bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast and cattle. God then made man in his image and likeness and gave him dominion (rule) over the fish of the sea, birds and every living animal. God made man in his image which is Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:15) . When God made man he made male and female on the 6th day (Genesis 1:27-31) 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
God made male and female and notice though the name Adam was never mentioned and here we dont see Eve being created from the rib taken from Adam. We see male and female created and told to multiply and replenish the earth. After this God rested and the first sabbath was kept by the Lord as a day wherein he rested from his labor.
(Genesis 2:1-3) 1Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Moses declares thus the heavens and the earth were finished and all the host of them. The word host comes from the hebrew word (Strongs #6635) which means a mass of persons or people. How many people were created on the 6th day we dont know. We do knw Adam and Eve were not created on the 6th day but were made and formed and fashioned from the dust of the earth on the 8th day or the day after the sabbath rest.
Adam was the one created who would be the first farmer and who would be the seedline through whom Jesus would come and the nation Israel would be born. (Genesis 2:5-9) 5And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.  6But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.  7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Man was created on the 6th day but Adam who was created to be the tiller of His Paradise Garden of Eden and to be also if you will the very lord of this earth was formed from the dust of the ground on the 8th day and God breathed into Adams nostrils the breath of life and Adam became a living soul. Adam lost us and Jesus purchased us back. (Â Romans 5;11-13) 11And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. 12Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Death passed upon all men because of Adamâs sin and also on those who didnt sin after the similitude or likeness of Adamâs sin ( Romans 5: 14) Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adamâs transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Adam was the Son of God( Luke 3: 38 ) Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God. And the first man Adam was of the earth and the second man Adam was the Lord from Heaven. Jesus was human and Almighty God being the Lord from heaven but had to im the form of Adam (man) come to be a faithful high priest and sacrificial lamb to purge mans sins and bring to man salvation by and through His blood shed at Calvary. Adam lost us and Jesus bought us back with a great price His very life existance and His blood shed and his body being broken for our healing and bruised for our iniquity which is perversity, depravity, iniquity, guilt or punishment of iniquity and wounded for our transgressions or rebellions.
God made Adam lord and king of the earth and death passed upon all men who didnt commit the sin as Adam and Eve did and death passed upon all the people who lived on the earth created by the lord and death reigned from Adam to Moses and we still die today but we have a hope and promise of a resurrection that will cause mortallity to give way to immortality and this corruption will put on incorruption.
Man male and female was created on the 6th day and told to multiply and replenish the earth. One the 7rth day God rested and sanctified and set apart the 7th (sabbath) day as a day of rest and on the 8th day made or formed Adam from the dust of the earth and later formed him a help mate Eve from one of his ribs. This is the beginning in a series of teachings we are presenting chapter by chapter and verse by verse study of Godâs Word beginning at Genesis finishing in Revelation. We will also be making these teachings available on tape and in printed form. Feel free to use this material seeing it is the Lord who has given us the privelage to communicate His truth to the earth. This is the beginning in a series of studies that will cover Genesis all the way through Revelation. May they be a blessing to you in Jesus name.
