  3. Homily One - In the Beginning God Made the Heaven and the Earth • IT is right that any one beginning to narrate the formation of the world should begin with the good order which reigns in visible things. • I am about to speak of the creation of heaven and earth, which was not spontaneous, as some have imagined, but drew its origin from God. • What ear is worthy to hear such a tale? How earnestly the soul should prepare itself to receive such high lessons! How pure it should be from carnal affections, how unclouded by worldly disquietudes, how active and ardent in its researches, how eager to find in its surroundings an idea of God which may be worthy of Him! • St. Basil

  4. GENESIS • Genesis is the book of beginnings. • The word Genesis means "the origin, source, creation, or coming into being of something." • The Hebrew name for the book is bereshith, the first word in the Hebrew text, which is translated as "in the beginning" (Gen 1:1). • Genesis describes such important beginnings as the Creation, the fall of man, and the early years of the nation of Israel.

  5. CREATIONsolar system • The Beginning of time. • Heaven and earth • Heaven = space • earth= the materialistic life • The creation of substance or matter. • Gen 1:10 Earth • Verse 2: The Spirit of God ,The Holy Spirit one of the Trinity is the One who processed God’s well in creation • The first 3 days God Divide, Light from darkness, Heaven and earth, sea and land. • Heaven:

  6. CREATION • Scientifically the Bible distinguishes between "light" (OT:216 'owr), Gen 1:3-5, and the light hearing "luminaries" (me'orowt), Gen 1:14-18.

  7. CREATION God's Motive in Creation • This motive has been ascribed by doctrinal writers to the free operation of God's love • He was not affected by any compulsion or selfish desire. • The necessity in which God created the universe is the definitiveness of his own will, his self-determination which he possesses by virtue of his own divine character. • It is not an external compulsion, but an interior impulse of the divine nature to manifest itself; a necessity of God's love to communicate itself.

  8. CREATION • He desired the good of his creatures; and it was only as he wished his creation to be pure that he desired to be glorified by that purity. • Eph 1:3-6 • Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.

  9. CREATION • The name "day" is therefore regarded as given, not as a measure of extent -- which is a later and a subordinate idea -- but as denoting a wondrous phenomenon, marking the first great transition, and calling up the dual contrast which has entered into the corresponding name ever since. • "God called the light day, and the darkness he called night." He called it Yom, and from that has come the lesser naming. • We now indicate the gradual, developing character of the creation. It was not the work of six ordinary days, measured by twenty-four hours, but a series of supernatural growths extending over vast periods of time.

  10. CREATION • I. The Inorganic Era. • 1 st Day. -- Light, general. • 2 d Day. -- The earth divided from the fluid around it or in dividualized. • 3 d Day. -- • 1. Outlining of the land and water. • 2. Creation of vegetation. • II. The organic Era. • 4 th Day. -- Light, direct. • 5 th Day. -- Creation of the lower orders of animals. • 6 th Day. -- • 1. Creation of mammals. • 2. Creation of Man.
