Like a fiery wind, the Spirit of God moved back and forth over a patch of bare soil, waiting for the moment.
“Let us make man in our image!” the voice of the Eternal Father boomed from his Holy Sanctuary. From the sapphire throne on the backs of cherubim, his all-powerful voice instantly cut a path through the vast void of space. It reached the ears of Yeshua the Creator, who was kneeling in the dirt he had created three days earlier. Responding to the voice of that part of the Godhead which maintained order in the universe, Yeshua thrust his hands deep into the black soil, pulling from it elements with which to form cells, the building blocks of flesh. Skillfully, he packed various types of cells together.
Bone tissue—one by one, he formed and laid out over two hundred bones to shape the skeletal system. “Father?” the Creator’s voice traveled through space unimpeded by time or distance. “Man is smaller than the angels.”
“Only for a time is he less than the angels. He will grow into companionship with us,” the Eternal Ruler replied.
“All he needs is the potential to grow more and more into our likeness.” Nodding his head in agreement, Yeshua continued to work. He knew his Father omnisciently watched from the throne room, pouring himself into this unprecedented event. Never before had such thought, such personal tenderness gone into an act
of creation. Heart tissue—the Creator packed it together into an irregular ball about the size of a fist, then he created chambers and attached a system of veins and arteries through which life would surge.
“Make it big enough to hold more than blood,” the Spirit urged.
“Man’s heart must hold love, compassion, patience—all the emotions we share. He must feel deeply about righteousness and justice. And he must need companionship”—the Spiritsighed such a long deep sigh that the trees bent as his breath went forth with the words that completed his thought—“like we need companionship.” The Godhead, a single omnipotent being who had divided himself into three separate beings with specific roles, now focused on the creation of a being more like himself than anythingpreviously created—not equal, not an exact replica, but very similar in many significant ways. Nerve tissue—painstakingly, the Creator threaded the sensory paths, linking each one to the center of intelligence that was protected by the skull.
“The capacity of man’s brain, like ours, is infinite,” Yeshua commented to his coregents as he placed centers
of language, speech, and creativity in the brain. “For now, I am giving him the basic information for life. As he experiences life and as we share with him, he will grow to be more and more like us.” Reproductive tissue—from the throne room, the Eternal Ruler shouted with excitement! “We are going to be a father many times over! This man is only the beginning.
