    Ge.1:11-13 "After His Kind"

    11And 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.

    Jesus Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. Let us apply the worlds framed by the word of God (He.11:3) and the life of vegetation also derives from it. "In him was life; and the life was the light of men."( John 1:4)The same holiness transcribes the Law in the case of plant life. " A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit"(Matt.7:18) A herb yielding seed seasons the dish presented at the table. If it is not subject to law can we depend on it? One day it adds 'zing' to your palate and next it may be poison.

    12And 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.

    Herb yielding seed after his kind is an objective lesson from the word sent forth by God. It applied to his Son and i applies to animate and inanimate world. In the quantum world exists an exclusion principle so 'no two electrons in the same atom can have identical values for all four of their quantum numbers'.

    The word of God is sound and signs so when we read of the glory of grass it is in context of the glory of the Son "For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away."(1 Pe.1:24) The Preacher calls it as 'vanity' and it is also a sign.

    13And the evening and the morning were the third day.

    The command number Three signifies the Son and the familiar phrase the morning and the evening were' shows us him as the tree of life.(Re.22:2)
