THE FUNCTIONS OF THE GOD KIND TRINITY- Part 2


THE SEVEN COSMIC FUNCTIONS OF THE LORD JESUS:   

          
1. CREATION OF THE WORLD- 1st cosmic function  

Creation was the first thing that the LORD JESUS had done (Gen. 1:1-2; Ac. 17:26; Isa. 44:24). He created the heavens and the earth from nothing, it has been created by His word (2 Pe. 3:5; Isa. 44:24; Heb. 1:3, 10).

In Genesis chapter one verse two, “And the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was moving upon the face of the waters.”

Many Bible scholars had spread out a conjecture that, there was a chaotic situation at the time of the LORD’S creation of the earth, because it was formless and void (Gen.1:2).

They theoretically concluded that there had been destruction of the earth by the opposing power of darkness which intentionally, and devastatingly destroyed the work of the LORD JESUS, and surmised that the devil was the perpetrator.

If the expression of the word void is the premise of the Bible scholar’s speculation that there had been destruction of the earth because of the meaning from the Hebrew word bo huw which means a vacuity, i.e., superficially undistinguishable ruin, they may be right; nevertheless, another meaning of void for consideration is empty or vacuity which denotes vacant space, because the earth was not completed yet in the process of the LORD JESUS’ work of creation at that point in time, therefore the Bible scholars in their conclusions were erroneous, because no specific verse from the Bible can support as explicit premise of their assertion.

We should not agree that there was chaos when God created the earth, because everything He had created when He saw it was very good (Gen. 1:31) including all angels.

Therefore, no condemnable wickedness from the LORDS creatures had perpetrated a devastating sabotage when the LORD create the heaven and the earth, because it was very good (Gen. 1:31).

It is a remarkable revelation of the LORD JESUS, that in His inherent ability [Dunamis in Greek word], He can create by the power of His word, from nothing to something (Gen. 1:1-8).

He also revealed His omnipotent power to create from His created things another creature (Gen. 2:7-9).

Thus, He did not create the whole world (cosmos in Greek word)just from nothing at one time to let us know, that He created human kind, from the dust of the earth (Gen. 2:7).

When the LORD created the heaven and the earth there was no light and darkness was over the surface of the deep and so He said “Let there be light and there was light”(Gen. 1:3) and the light was good in the sight of the LORD, therefore He separated the light from darkness, and He called the light day, and darkness night” (Gen. 1:45)

Consequently, after He created the heavens and the earth, it is well implied in (Ps. 148:1-5) that the angelic kind were created in heaven; and the sun, moon and stars, were created also in the astronomical heaven (Gen. 1:16-18).

In the LORD JESUS fulfilment of creation of the heavens, there was no wickedness or evil among the created angels, even at the time when He create the earth that was without form and void, because He said after all things were made “it was very good”(Gen. 1:31).

It is a very clear revelation of the LORD JESUS that He systematically started His splendid creations with set up well arranged work priorities, the first were the heaven and the earth(Gen. 1:1-2); no existing evil yet at that point in time according to His word in (Gen. 1:31).

Though the earth was formless and void at first, because it was empty, the LORD JESUS had filled it with uncountable varieties of His created things after it was marvellously formed into beautiful and magnificently designed planet earth.

All His well planned sequences of work within six consecutive days were accomplished excellently without interruption; then He ended His work on the seventh day (Gen. 2:2).    

No one else among human kind will know the days of the Dinosaurs, because the LORD JESUS did not let it be known to human kind (Ecc. 3:11).

This is how He made human kind, according to His image and likeness: with spirit, soul, and body, ( Gen. 1:27); it was in sixth day when He created the first man.

We can clearly understand when God said Let us make man in our image”(Gen. 1:26) that these explicit words have comprehensive revelation that the Triune God have sameness of image (Gen. 1:27; Col. 1:15; Heb. 1:3).

There will never be any contradiction that the LORD JESUS was the one who accomplished the creation and ordering of all He had created (Isa. 42:5; 44:24; Jn. 1:3; Col. 1:16; Heb. 1:2, 10).
