Genesis Lecture 43 (6th day of the Creation 3) Swahili
Bible passage: Genesis 1:26-31
“26. Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." 27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground. ”
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ.
This is the 43rd Lecture on Genesis.
In the last lecture, I explained how God the Trinity created man in Their own image and likeness. Psalm 139:14 says, "I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well." Just as this Psalmist says, I will tell you a few things to explain how fearfully and wonderfully God made man's body. I was told that a car consists of about 13,000 parts, and that you need about 3,000,000 parts to assemble a Boeing 747. They say that about 5 million parts are required to build a space shuttle. However, a man's body consists of more than 60 trillion cells. (60,000,000,000,000) An adult has 206 bones.
Human's bone is stronger than granite. A bone in a size of a small match box can support 10 tons, which is stronger than concrete. The bone structure constantly changes so that the entire skeletal system of the human body renews every 7 years. The surface area of the skin for the average male is 1.9 square meters, and it is 1.6 square meters for a female. The skin constantly peels off and renews; it is completely renewed every 4 weeks. It is as though you put on a new natural water resistant suit of skin every month The total length of the circulatory system of the blood vessels is about 120,000 kilometers. This length could circle around the earth 3 times.
Dear brothers and sisters. Do you know just how fast a "blink the eye" really is? It takes 1/40 of a second. On an average, a man blinks his eyes 15 times a minute, or about 900 times an hour.
