        Issue #: 1   
      
      
      
        Have you ever wondered how God made this a beautiful planet?  It   
      
        can't be by accident and it was made into perfection when it was   
      
        first created.  God's words are true.  He spoke and when he spoke   
      
        he made things happen.   
      
      
      
        Lets examine the first book in the King James Version of the Bible   
      
        starting with the Book of Genesis in the first chapter, verse one.   
      
      
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the   
      
              earth.   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:2  And the earth was without form, and void; and   
      
                       darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the   
      
                       Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.   
      
      
      
        You can imagine being in a place totally dark with not an inch of   
      
        light.  No floors, no ceilings, no walls and no boundaries is all   
      
        there was before God's creation.  Suddenly, God who has always   
      
        existed, is present with us now and will be always forever.   
      
      
      
        So here we see this void, this place in God's heart where he wants   
      
        to birth his children to replenish the earth just as the sand   
      
        covers the land.  He wishes to multiply and expand, to do that, he   
      
        has to create a place and a time.   
      
      
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:3  And God said, Let there be light: and there was   
      
                       light.   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:4  And God saw the light, that it was good: and God   
      
                       divided the light from the darkness.   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:5  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he   
      
                       called Night. And the evening and the morning were   
      
                       the first day.   
      
      
      
        [KJV] Psa 33:4  For the word of the LORD is right; and all his   
      
                        works are done in truth.   
      
        [KJV] Psa 33:9  For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and   
      
                        it stood fast.   
      
      
      
        We know the Word is from our LORD and it is right, all He does is   
      
        true.  No matter what happens, there is a reason why he closes a   
      
        door and opens a door a new one, although we can never ever really   
      
        understand why; the suffering and pain we go through.  More on that   
      
        later.  God makes it happen regardless of pain or applause.  There   
      
        is no way we can change His perfect mind, not by torment or   
      
        temptation.  He will provide.   
      
      
      
        He said, when he spoke, "let there be light" and filled the void.   
      
        What do you see when you turn on the light?  You see color, you   
      
        see beauty.  This is exactly what He made.  Light can always   
      
        penetrate the darkness.  Good over bad regardless of the   
      
        circumstances.   
      
      
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:5  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he   
      
                       called Night. And the evening and the morning were   
      
                       the first day.   
      
      
      
        We need a name for light and darkness, so we have Day and night.   
      
        Normally, we we start our day in the morning.  We notice in this   
      
        passage it is opposite, "the evening and the morning were the   
      
        first day".  This may indicate that we have an evening and have a   
      
        good morning and call it a day.  Literally, yes, it's from the   
      
        word of God.  You must realize that this could be over thousands   
      
        of years or even millons.  We live today in the world how it is   
      
        now, so we have to handle what we've got now and shape our future's   
      
        future.   
      
      
      
        So we have the first day of God's beautiful creation, light   
      
        exists.  The light side of darkness is light.  The dark side of   
      
        light is dark.  It's that simple.   
      
      
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:6   And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst   
      
                        of the waters, and let it divide the waters from   
      
                        the waters.   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:7   And God made the firmament, and divided the waters   
      
                        which were under the firmament from the waters   
      
                        which were above the firmament: and it was so.   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:8   And God called the firmament Heaven. And the   
      
                        evening and the morning were the second day.   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:9   And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be   
      
                        gathered together unto one place, and let the dry   
      
                        land appear: and it was so.   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:10  And God called the dry land Earth; and the   
      
                        gathering together of the waters called he Seas:   
      
                        and God saw that it was good.   
      
      
      
        Now we have all this space, this seperation between light and   
      
        dark.  We have clouds which we call the Heavens and we have water   
      
        in this newly shined fill space.  God creates Heaven, the spiritual   
      
        world of our existance.  The Earth has been formed and shape by   
      
        God.  He certainly has something in mind for this during his   
      
        creation.   
      
      
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:11  And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass,   
      
                        the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree   
      
                        yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in   
      
                        itself, upon the earth: and it was so.   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:12  And the earth brought forth grass, and herb   
      
                        yielding seed after his kind, and the tree   
      
                        yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after   
      
                        his kind: and God saw that it was good.   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:13  And the evening and the morning were the third day.   
      
      
      
        To see color in action, he brings about beautiful grass that is   
      
        reflected by the sunlight.  The seed is hidden, just as there is a   
      
        void, total darkness.  There are wonderful fruit trees of many   
      
        kinds and many colors.  Without the seed, it would not grow.   
      
        Remember, what you sow, you will always reap.  What God has created   
      
        was life on this new Earth.   
      
      
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:14  And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament   
      
                        of the heaven to divide the day from the night;   
      
                        and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and   
      
                        for days, and years:   
      
      
      
        God was not satisfied with just one season, no, he loved unique   
      
        variety.  Grass being the first season, heat being the second,   
      
        drying up to prepare for the cold and winter to start a new year.   
      
      
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:15  And let them be for lights in the firmament of the   
      
                        heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:16  And God made two great lights; the greater light   
      
                        to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the   
      
                        night: he made the stars also.   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:17  And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to   
      
                        give light upon the earth,   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:18  And to rule over the day and over the night, and   
      
                        to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw   
      
                        that it was good.   
      
        [KJV] Gen 1:19  And the evening and the morning were the fourth   
      
                        day.   
      
      
      
        God had pure imagination.  Light to shine on Earth during the   
      
        night, he created the stars and moon for night just to make it   
      
        more beautiful.
