GOD CREATED YOUR WORLD
GENESIS 1:14-19
Genesis 1:14-20
And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. 16 God made two great lights — the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning — the fourth day.
When we look at work God did in creation, you will understand that
We serve an amazing, powerful loving God. When we look at what we
Know about the solar system we see an incredibly well created universe that no man, not even scientists can completely
Understand.
God spoke and what little we know came into existence. The creation
Work on day four concentrates on the sun, moon, and stars. However, the entire solar system was probably created and set in motion. The
The farthest planet from the sun is 2.8 million miles. The known named planets are in an orbit with a diameter of over 5.6 million miles.
And scientists have determined that the universe is much larger than that.
Psalms 103:12 says that our sins have been separated from us as far as the East is from the West. We have no idea what that distance is. What it say is in the business of giving us. He wants us restored to the same level of innocence that existed in the Garden of Eden before
Adam and Eve sinned. He is so gracious that He in the person of the
Son stepped out of heaven, became man to die and become sin for
us.
The sun is in the center of the universe and is basically a ball of fire. It is a dense gas mainly hydrogen and Helium called Plasma. Scientists have determined that sun rotates in place and is call differential
Rotation according to NASA. The surface temperature is estimated
To be 10000 degrees and the core temperature is estimated to be
27 million degrees. Only a mighty God can set a ball of burning fire
In place and maintain it forever. In Exodus 3 God introduced Himself
To Moses by an angel in a burning bush that was not consumed. We
May be able to visualize a bush on fire like the logs in a gas fire place.
But to understand the magnitude of the sun’s heat and eternal longevity is beyond my comprehension. This also ought to remind
Us of the fiery Hell planned for unbelievers.
In John 1:3 states that nothing was created without Jesus, the Son
Of God. In Genesis 1:1, the Word for light is OWR which is illumination, meaning the Son of God. In verse 14 the word for light is MEORAH, which is a luminous body meaning the sun.
Every living thing depends on the sun. The spiritual life of every believer is derived from the SON. The solar system reminds us that
God we serve is bigger than anything we can imagine and certainly
Bigger than any problem we have. The question is How big is your God?
God created the heavens and the earth. I can only assume that the heavens were created first. The Apostle Paul said he was called up to the third heaven. Some theologians suggest that first heaven is the
Sky we see. The second heaven is the realm of the stars and the moon and the third heaven is the throne of God.
In creating the sun, moon and stars God created human time. In the
First three days, the light was luminousness, meaning the SON. The
Luminous of God brings knowledge and wisdom which is the Word
Of God.
It was on the fourth day that God made two great lights, the sun and the moon, the Meorahs. Human time includes hours, days, months, years, and seasons. The solar system was put in full rotation. As far
As we know, the earth is the only planet that is suitable for life.
It was placed in an orbit by God at the right distance from the sun.
The distance from the Earth to the sun is 93 million miles
If the Earth was too close to the sun we would burn up. If the Earth was too far away from the sun we would freeze to death. God loves us so much that He gave us the sun for physical life and the Son for eternal life.
The earth rotates on it’s axis 24 hours a day which gives day and
Night. The Earth rotates in an obit 365 days around the sun which gives the seasons of the year.
The earth was created for man as a place to live and a place of Worship. What God made, He made good. And for the good of mankind. In the Old Testament, God gave the Israel times and
Seasons to worship Him.

There is a Spiritual Symbolism of Light
IN VERSE 1 THE WORD FOR LIGHT IS OWR ILLUMINATION THE SON
IN VERSE14 THE WORD FOR LIGHT IS MEORAH LUMINOUS BODY THE SUN
JOHN 9:5 JESUS IS THE LIGHT, THE WORD IS PHOS LUMINOUSNESS THE SON. WITHOUT HIM WE EXIT IN DARKNESS
WITHOUT THE SUN, THERE WOULD BE NO LIFE
GOD CREATED FIRE, THE SUN IS A BALL OF FIRE THAT IS NOT CONSUMED.
THIS IS A REMINDER THAT UNREPENTANT SINS WILL CAST US INTO THE FIERY HELL
GOD CREATES THE HEAVENS. OUR HOPE IS A HEAVENLY HOME WITH JESUS
GOD CREATES HUMAN TIME; HOURS, DAYS, MONTHS, SEASONS, AND YEARS.
GOD’S TIME AND MAN’S TIME ARE DIFFERENT
GOD SETS THE PLANETS IN THEIR ORBITS AROUND SUN
THE SON IS CENTER OF OUR SPIRITUAL UNIVERSE
GOD SET THE EARTH AT THE RIGHT DISTANCE FROM THE SUN
IF IT WAS TO CLOSE IT WOULD BE TO HOT FOR LIFE
IF IT WAS TO FAR AWAY IT WOULD BE TO COLD FOR LIFE
AS FAR AS WE KNOW, NO OTHER PLANET HAS LIFE
MAN’S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SON CONTROLS HIS LIFE
Everything God created in days one through four was to prepare
The universe for man to be made in His image. Man was made to
Worship and glorify the Lord. God left nothing to chance in His
Creation of the universe so man would be complete and lacking nothing John 17:23
