Hi Pastor John,<\/p>\n
I was thinking on this the other day, and thought on it again a little bit ago…after reading from the Revelation chapter this morning.\u00a0 On how when the earth and all in it was created, the Lord really did fashion it after most, if not all, things that were already in heaven.<\/p>\n
Mainly he created us in His image, but maybe everything is in an image of something He already had.\u00a0 Thinking on the 4 living beings…that resembled things on earth to John.<\/p>\n
Those beings were always first…way before the creatures of earth were created.\u00a0 They were first!\u00a0 So you could almost say, that when he created our earthly lion…He created it in an image that was already in heaven with Him.\u00a0 When He created the calf, or the eagle on earth…He created again in the image from above.\u00a0 So many things to consider.\u00a0 I think about our earthly blood that he created to run thru our veins to provide life for us.<\/p>\n
It was again just a likeness of His spiritual blood.\u00a0 The image of Him.\u00a0 It could go on and on, but so many good things to think about.\u00a0 It is just amazing when you start to ponder on it all.\u00a0 We just have no idea what all there is to really see…but it is exciting to think at it with the idea of him creating much in the image of his creations from above!<\/p>\n

That’s interesting, Melissa.\u00a0 I just don’t know how long heavenly things were created before earth and its contents were created.\u00a0 We are not told, and it does us no good to speculate.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Thanks for the thought.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Pastor John<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi Pastor John, I was thinking on this the other day, and thought on it again a little bit ago…after reading from the Revelation chapter this morning.\u00a0 On how when the earth and all in it was created, the Lord really did fashion it after most, if not all, things that were already in heaven.
