Awesome Truths and Amazing Facts

Today: Creation’s Creators
In our first two articles, the point was established that the Bible can be trusted as God’s infallible Word. Evolutionists spin many theories about how things came to be. God has told us how everything came to be in the first five words of Genesis. “In the beginning God created….” That’s it. In five words God has torpedoed every other explanation of men, into the depths of the meaninglessness that they came from.
But let’s look at some amazing facts about creation. First of all, all three members of the Godhead were present at creation. Gen.1:2 “…And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” Gen 1:26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:…” here we have God the Father and God the Son discussing the creation of man. “Let Us…in Our image…” There is no singular God spoken here. The Hebrew word for God is (elohiym), which is the plural of the word (elowahh) which means the Diety God. So what we have here and each time you see the word God in any verse of the first five chapters of Genesis, is (elohiym) a unity of Divine Beings. 
Among creationists, there are some who would like to think that creation took eons of time. God foreknew this problem would arise, so He had Moses to write that each day of creation was a 24 hour period, by stating that it had an evening and a morning. Gen:1: 5,8,13, 19, 23 and 31. He even had David write in Psalms 33:6,9 “By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth…For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.” Friends, God spoke things into existence. 24 hours is ample time for God to have accomplished what is verified in the account of creation.
Now notice, the dark part of the day comes first, followed by the light part. Days begin at sundown. It was well after the time of Christ, that days were changed to starting after midnight. 
So each day of creation then had an evening and a morning. Two entities of time declared to be one day (The Hebrew word for one is echad and means unity). 
In Deut. 6:4 it states “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:” The Hebrew  words would be “…The LORD (Yehovah) our God (elohiym – plural) is one (echad – meaning unity) ” It does not mean absolute oneness, rather a unity of Beings.
Now let’s take a close look at who was the active Creator agent of the Godhead in the creation. Look at John 1:1-3, 14. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)…” Note, the Word was from the beginning, was with God and is God. The Word made ALL things and He became flesh, the only begotten of the Father. It could only be Jesus. Now let’s look at companion Scriptures that make it clear that Jesus our Redeemer, was also our Creator. Heb. 1:1,2 “God… Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.”  Next- 1 Cor. 8:6 “But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.” Then in Col. 1:12-16 “Giving thanks unto the Father, …and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:  …For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him (Jesus), and for him.” Continuing, Eph. 3:9 “And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.” God’s Word states it so clearly. Jesus was both our Redeemer and Creator.
So what about the educated evolutionists and their conceived theories? God covers them with 1 Cor. 3:19. “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.” And 
2 Tim. 3:7 “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
To the sincere searcher of truth, God has given the facts in His word. Just as God does not force salvation on anyone, neither does He force the truth revealed in Scriptures on anyone. “In the beginning God created.” The explanation of the origin of all things is thereby completed.
Now turn to Nehemiah 9 for some final revelations about Jesus. Neh. 9:6 “Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein…” Verse 6 is speaking of Jesus the Creator. Verse 11 “And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.” It was Jesus who parted the Red Sea. Verse 12 “Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.” It was Jesus in the pillar of fire. Verse 13,14 “Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:  And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:”
It was Jesus on Mt. Sinai who wrote the commandments in stone. 
It was Jesus in John 14:15 who said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”
