In Gen.1--God created a world in his own likeness and image. That is a spirit world; for God is a Spirit. Everything is that world is perfect. Everything is that world has life in itself meaning the God life; therefore it is eternal. And capable of imparting life to others. You will find proof of that when Jesus said as the Father has life in himself, so has he given to the Son to have life in himself that he may quicken whom so ever he will.
On the sixth day, God created man and woman in his own likeness. This is Jesus and his bride. He declared the end from the beginning. (Isa.) That world did not ever fall away from that perfection. Every one seems to think that is the world that fell, but it is not.
God said every thing there was very good. If God said it was good, it was good.
In Gen. 2-- The Lord God made a world of the dust of the ground. If you will compare those two creative works, you will find they do not match in any kind of way. In chapter one, the last thing made was man and woman. In chapter two, the man was made before the animals. And there are a lot more differences. You just study it for yourself and compare verse to verse. You will see what I mean.
This second chapter creation is the one that fell; that disobeyed God and had to be redeemed.
God is a Spirit; so the people there are also spirits. For they are in His likeness.
The Son of God is flesh; so the second chapter creation is flesh in his likeness.
Someday, those two worlds are to come together ( be 'married') and become one.
11Cor.5:1-6---For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God (see, one from the chapter one creation, made by God, not the one made by the Lord God)---an house (body) not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
The second chapter creation was made by His own hands out of dust. The bodies in chapter one were created by the spoken word. They are eternal. They are our glorified bodies. That is why it says if the one I have now (this body I am in now) were dissolved (means it died) then I have another one, eternal in the heavens. So, my glorified body has always been there. That is what is meant that at the resurrection this mortal body shall be swallowed up of immortality. We put on incorruption. In other words, I receive my immortal body that was created by God in Gen.1.-
That is what God meant when he said Let US make man in OUR likeness and in OUR image. He made a world (the heavenly host) in His likeness=spirit. The Son made a world in his likeness (flesh). They are to come together at the resurrection. That is the marriage the Word speaks of.
This is a very beautiful and glorious truth.
Most people think that God killed an animal and took its skin and made Adam and Eve some 'clothes'; but this is not the case. There is not one word of God saying that.
God took the beautiful, perfect son he had created; the one who lied and became the wicked one. he took this beautiful, glorified body and changed it into mortal. He put 'human skin' on this beautiful cherub, Adam.
Thus, he clothed the 'heavens' with blackness; thus he put 'sackcloth' on this once beautiful being; thus he made him 'naked'. He put coats of 'SKIN' on them and made them naked. He changed this beautiful, wiser than Daniel being, into a mere mortal human being; the man of the dust of the ground.
