The Creation of Earth. Earth is not only habitable but, compared to other planets, it’s luscious and bountiful, capable of furnishing 24 billion meals a day!
The Creation of Earth led to a blue water and green land sumptuous homestead for the present eight billion people. Handling the resources correctly would easily allow each of us to enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day.
To our knowledge, Earth is not only a planet that can support life but also a place where life blossoms and bristles with vibrance and opulence. You have to ask yourself why this is so. Is there a purpose behind this universal anomaly?
(Transform Your Mind, Upgrade Your Life – Chapter 2)
I want the God-Intended meaning of Scripture
The Goal of the Creation of Humans
The Creation of Earth in all its splendor has an objective far beyond anything you or science fiction could imagine.
God created Earth as the space where His earthly family, His sons and daughters would Alearn to grow up and develop all their potential.
Here’s God’s definitive promise to humankind during this phase of His plan, after Christ’s Return to Earth, His Second Coming.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for you were slain, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And have made us to our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
This is your future, not only yours but that of the billions from every nation who have lived, live, and will live on Earth. Our destiny is to be Kings, Queens, and Priests and rule on Earth. I’ve emboldened that because general religion does not teach this fundamental truth. Our future is intimately bound to this planet. That’s the reason for the Creation of Earth.
In the last chapter, we see God expanding His family. What will be the occupation of this myriad of family members? It is not to stare at Him and just sing hymns of praise. We are to be Kings and Priests, Queens and Priests. Rulers and Teachers, Leaders and Law Instructors, Managers and Rulers. Those are amazing positions each of us will fulfill—functions we will perform with Christ after His Return.
Do you take a man or woman and throw them into the role of King, Queen, or Priest? Of course not. We’ve all read about the rigorous and grueling training all descendants of royal families undergo in preparation for their future callings. Read about King Charles III and Prince William. His son, Prince George of Wales will experience the same education.
These royal children have a goal. Similarly, God has set a reachable trajectory for each human, and the Creation of Earth is the training ground to accomplish this. Think, if you’re going to train athletes, scientists, gardeners, or mechanics, you place them in exactly the same environment as the one they’ll occupy as professionals.
That training is Transform Your Mind, to Upgrade their Lives to professional status.
The Goal of the Creation of Earth
Earth is luscious and bountiful, and it provides enough tools for EVERYONE to prepare.
Christianity is much more than “repent and be saved.” Yes, that’s the start, but repenting and being saved is a personal, inward reflection and relationship with God.
Kings and Priests are outward, focused on serving others. That’s what Christ came to do and what He calls us to do. The creation of Earth is the practice ground for ALL humans now. God has given us the inventory we need to prepare for our future roles in His Kingdom. Earth is a luscious planet that provides beyond anything we can imagine, and humans have unlimited imagination.
God spent almost six days preparing Earth before He created humans, just like we fashion a distinctive space for the arrival of a newborn baby. From the subdued lighting to the kiddie wallpaper, protective crib, soft, well-equipped changing table, attention-grabbing mobiles, and soothing music, God did the identical for the Creation of Earth. Humans, even billions of them, have everything they need not only to survive but to thrive.
Creation of Earth, to Dominate and Subdue it
The second injunction God gave humans after telling them to socialize in a two-gender, children-bearing family relationship was to dominate and subdue the Earth. That is uplifting rulership and management.
27 So 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 … 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 moves on the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree… to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast … fowl of the air, and to every thing that creeps upon the earth, wherein there is life … every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Go and train to be directors and managers by using the resources: fish, fowl, animals, trees, worms, etc. I’ve graciously provided for you to develop your talents in order to create products and services to serve your fellow humans so you and all your families can thrive decently, healthily, and prosperously in your Godly-provided environment, Earth.
Read about this unbelievable, safe human place that God has provided for our training in Inventory of the Universe. and the six days of the Creation of Earth in Origin of the Universe.
Respect Earth Like Apprentices Respect Their Resources and Tools
God has placed humans on Earth to exercise the kingly and priestly apprenticeship. It’s a position of management and teaching. The Apostle Paul said as much to members of the Church, but the principle is just as valid for all humankind. We have been given the world to use it properly.
29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short…
31 And they that use (G5530) this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passes away.
Check the Greek deeper meaning at UnlockBibleMeaning.com for use in Stong’s Concordance G5530. It means to handle, furnish, employ, and entreat.
The Creation of Earth was for human benefit. As I wrote In Inventory of the Universe,
Our daily lives involve Earth when we work, sleep, eat, and play. Whether we’re manufacturing or providing a service, sleeping in our bedrooms, camping in a yurt, cooking dinner at home, feasting out, bowling, sailing, or studying, all our activities are directly related to our Earth.
God created humans and set them on Earth; He immersed them into a world of discovery. There is nothing more fascinating and stimulating than uncovering something new to you. Every day, in practically every field, we are unearthing new knowledge that in itself should amaze us. It should lead us to the ultimate discovery, ” the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, (the Creation of Earth) even his eternal power and Godhead” Romans 1:20. That’s another story, suffice to say now, the Creation of Earth is the best-prepared baby room ever for humans in their infant age.
Working Labor, in All its Forms, is the Calling of All Humans
The Book of Ecclesiastes was written by the wise King Solomon at a particular moment in his life—today, we’d call it depression! This warrants an explanation, which I’ll give later in this book. Here, I want to focus on one of Solomon’s essential recommendations.
15 As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
18 Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
Labor in whatever our field of interest, be it manual or sedentary, is a primary element of our psychological equilibrium. The New Testament broaches management of Earth’s resources with an additional application.
17 Charge them [Christians] that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
Humans, not just Christians, are supposed to use and handle the world with an outward-oriented perspective. There is absolutely nothing wrong with rich Christianity, but we should use what’s necessary for a decent life for us and our families. Excess riches are to be shared for the physical, mental, and spiritual benefit of all.
In the next chapter, we’ll see what God is accomplishing by putting created humans on this created Earth.
