Let us make man in our image

 

BEFORE ADAM: What Image Were We Made In?

Before Adam was created, this is what the Creator said:
"Let Us make man in Our image" - Gen 1:26
What image? Let's answer it simply.
Man is a twofold being:
1. Body
2. Spirit - which when combined become a living soul.
"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." - Gen 2:7
Angels are also twofold:
1. There is a heavenly body and an earthly body
"There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial" - 1 Cor 15:40
2. Angels are ministering spirits
"Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" - Heb 1:14
The Ancient of Days is the same pattern.
The Ancient of Days is the angelic manifestation of Yehowah in heaven, sitting in judgment over the angels - Dan 7:9.
Thus, He is also a twofold being:
1. Heavenly body
2. Omnipresent Spirit
"Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?" - Psalm 139:7-8
So when the Ancient of Days spoke to the angels He said:
"Let US create man in OUR image"
Right immediately, this meant as a twofold being. Body + Spirit = Living Soul. Just like them. Just like Him in manifestation.
Yet This Is Not Complete.
Because we are still being conformed to God's image. We are on the potter's wheel right now being shaped and molded into that perfect image.
"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son" - Rom 8:29
We are not finished.
And The Angels Are Like Older Siblings.
Think of it like this: A parent tells their child:
"WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!"
They make the older child a part of watching after their younger sibling.
This is why:
"There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth" - Luke 15:10
"When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy" - Job 38:7
The older child rejoices as their younger sibling says their 1st word and takes their 1st steps.
If we were fully formed in God's image from birth, then you have a point - why would angels need to watch over us?
But we are not. We are being formed.
And angels are watching over me, by the command of my Master Yah Yeshua the Messiah:
"Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" - Heb 1:14
"Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father" - Matt 18:10
We are the baby in the family. They are our older siblings, told "WE are making man in OUR image." And they are watching us learn to walk.

153 in Gematria

 Here's a rewritten and tightened version of the blog post draft I gave you earlier. I've kept all the key layers intact but woven in גדי (the young goat/kid = 17) prominently—pairing it beautifully with עגלים (calves/circles = 153) as the two bracketing springs in Ezekiel's vision. This makes the symmetry even clearer and stronger.The Hidden Geometry of 153: Fish, Sons of God, and Two Young AnimalsJohn 21 tells of a night of empty nets turned into an overwhelming catch: exactly 153 large fish, hauled in on the right side, the net miraculously unbroken.Why 153? For centuries this number has intrigued readers. It is no random detail. Layer by layer, Scripture reveals a stunning web of mathematics, gematria, and wordplay—all pointing to resurrection, cleansing, and the great end-time harvest of souls.1. 153 = The 17th Triangular Number153 is the sum of every integer from 1 to 17:1 + 2 + … + 17 = 153This makes it a perfect triangular number—one that forms an equilateral triang...

Old earth v young earth? Wrong question!

Old earth Verses  Young earth ### *Genesis 1: Restoration, Not Stopwatch*   *Young Earth vs Old Earth — What Scripture Actually Says* I’ve been told Genesis 1 settles the age of the earth. I’ve been told it proves “young earth” or proves “old earth.” After looking hard at the Hebrew, I’m convinced we’re asking the wrong question. *Genesis 1 isn’t a stopwatch. It’s a restoration record.* And if we miss that, we miss the point. #### *1. What we _can’t_ prove from Scripture* *Scripture doesn’t date dirt.* _Job 38:4_ *“Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?”* I wasn’t there. Neither were you. No verse says “the earth is 6,000 years old.” No verse says “the earth is 4.6 billion years old.”   *What Scripture _does_ date is man.* Genealogies from Adam put him ∼4,000 BC. _Luke 3:38_ *“Adam, which was the son of God.”* But Adam is not dirt. _Genesis 2:7_ *“the LORD God formed man of the dust.”* The dust was there first. *So “young earth vs old earth” i...
