What is the greatest achievement you have ever achieved?
I.
The pinnacle of creation: Bringing fullness and life
A. Day 4 – Sun/moon/stars
Creation now has the structure in place to support life Now God brings bringing fullness to His creation
(ESV) Genesis 1 14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night.
And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.”
And it was so.
16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.
1. Made the sun / moon / stars – the universe as we know it
2.
Not named intentionally?
- Not gods / not to be worshipped
3. Stars an afterthought – have no power to control men’s lives
4. Intended to serve man not control him
a. Means of providing light on the earth rather than through God Himself
b.
Means to tell time / direction / time of year changes
c.
Note: plants already created before the sun – impossible naturally
5. Created with apparent age
a.
In order for the light of these bodies to be visible from the earth God must also have created the photons from those bodies that extend the billions of light years to earth
b.
In order to be a fully functional system and represent the beauty and majesty of God, again there is the appearance of age – set them where they are
1) Galaxies not just symmetrical but all types of shapes and in all sorts of apparent interactions with one another 2) Gasses around stars reflecting colors / in various forms and stages
6.
Day/night cycle – Sun/moon,star=day (24 hours)
(ESV) Genesis 1 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness.
And God saw that it was good.
19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
a.
And it was good
B. Day 5 – Fish/birds
Now the world is ready for living / breathing / thinking creatures
(ESV) Genesis 1 20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly abovethe earth across the expanse of the heavens.”
21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creaturethat moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind.
And God saw that it was good.
1. Creates ‘souls’ – living things (distinct from vegetation) – alive in a different way – seek to satisfy self/desires / self determination
2. Seas populated
a. Swarms of swarms / not just a few / but vast numbers / with diversity
b.
Sea creatures that in other countries are viewed as competing with gods, are mere created animals – no power over man – just an example of the greatness of God
c. Creation of dinosaur swimming creatures – real great sea creatures/monsters
3. Atmosphere populated with birds / flying things
4. Fully populated, not evolving – created as is
a.
Distinct from one another
b.
Not an image of evolution / an image of an all powerful God who instantly creates a world of life with all its variety

23 And there was eveningand there was morning, the fifth day.
a. Empowers to reproduce / enjoy all that was made for them

(ESV) Genesis 1 24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.”
And it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind.
