    Ge.1:26 "Man"

    "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:"

    MOU of the last article carries the divine will, "And God said." is balanced with the Amen part,"and it was so."(v.30)

    In the verse following we have the Spirit writing 'finis'( And behold, etc.,) to the covenant which is without recall. "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good."(v.31)



    What is in a man? The Psalmist asks,"What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?"(Ps.8:4)This particular psalm vv.6-8) serves as a commentary to vv.28-30

    Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet." What does the phrase 'the works of thy hands' signify? The animals mentioned, the beasts of the field, the fowls of the air as well as the fish of the sea are all mentioned in the narrative serving man on various occasions. Noah sent a raven to scout after the ark had finally come to settle on the mount Ararat.(Ge.8:4). Raven feeding Elijah is yet another instance. God commands him where he should stay and he does so. "And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there./ So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan./And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning,(1 Ki.17:4-6). By the same token the fish of the sea served the purpose of God. By 'works' the Spirit instructs us of their service in the kingdom of his dear Son.

    Secondly the four beasts as memorial display Christian virtues which are sanctified by Son of man as he walked the earth. "And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle." Re.4:7 Bold as a lion, meek and lowly as a calf, man as the message and prayer life of a flying eagle were in him.
