Jude2 Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Is there some significance to this? “….and man became a living soul, the first flesh upon the earth, the first man also; And I, the Lord God, planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there I put the man whom I had formed…” It appears to me that even before the first ameba was brought forth Adam was created and then the garden for him to be placed in. Then the Lord began bringing forth the rest of the plants and animals. I was always under the impression that Michael/Adam helped with creation, along with the rest of us. I know baptism and marriage are earthly ordinances, one needs a body to participate. Could it be the Lord needed at lest one physical man dwelling on earth to carry out the creation? Is the creation an ordinance? Or am I thinking to hard?

Is the creation an ordinance? Or am I thinking to hard? You are stumbling upon some of the great kept secrets of the creation- how it really went down. It is true that the scriptures do indeed state that man wasn't on the earth on the previous 6 days and neither was any life found on the earth during those first 6 days. The earth after it was created and able to be able to sustain all life was pronounced "good" by God and then he sanctified the earth. This means God set the earth apart and made it holy so that life (perhaps as an ordinance) could come forth upon the earth. This all was the morning of the seventh day. God then causes it to rain, plant life comes up. Adam is then formed from the dust of the earth. At this point God then builds or creates a garden eastward in Eden and places the man whom he has formed into the garden. Adam is now alone and no other life besides plant life is on the earth. Its important that all plant life is on the earth before animals so that the animals have food to eat as this is their energy exchange. Thus all the animals are created and brought before Adam and he names all of them (not God). I imagine that this holy language though was by revelation and the words and names of the animals carried sacred powersin the divine language. Eve also is created and together they are the ones who have sole dominion over the creation- how they roll is how all of creation rolls. You are on the right track, good ideas.
