Genesis Lecture 35 (Third day of the Creation 2) Swahili
Bible passage: Genesis 1:9-13
“[9] Then God said, "Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so. [10] God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good. [11] Then God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them"; and it was so. [12] The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good. [13] There was evening and there was morning, a third day.”
This is the 35th Lecture on Genesis.
In the last lecture, among the creation works of the 3rd day, I explained how God created the seas and the land. I will now tell you about the creation of the vegetation on the 3rd day of the Creation. When God created all things in the universe, He did it following the order (of Natural Law). Let me categorize the dimensions of all things from the perspective of spirit, soul, and body. First, that which has existence but does not respire nor move are 'non-dimensional'. They are such things as rocks, soil, and stones. Then, those which breathe but don't move by themselves, such as plants, are "1st dimensional'. Those things, like animals, that exist and can breathe and move freely but have only a soul without a spirit are ' 2nd dimensional.' Human beings who can breathe, move freely, and consist of spirit, soul, and body are Ɖrd dimensional.' And all the spiritual beings that belong to the spiritual realm are 4th dimensional.'
These are the categories by dimension from the viewpoint of spirit, soul, and body as God explained it. When God manifested the works of creation, He first created the spiritual realm, which is the 4th dimension. He created angels and cherubim. As the time came, He began the creation works in earnest in the 1st heaven, which is this fleshly world. He laid the foundation of the earth which is the base ground for human cultivation, and He then created all the necessary things on the earth. During the six days of Creation, God began by creating the things of the lower dimensions first. On the 1st Day, He laid the foundation on the earth which is non-dimensional. On the 2nd Day, He separated the seas and the land which are also non-dimensional. And then, He created the plants which are of the 1st dimensional. On the 5th and 6th Days of the Creation, He created birds, fish, and animals which are 2nd dimensional. And lastly, He created man who is 3rd dimensional.
