God created the earth from chaos, for five days created them all: light and dark, sun and planets, plants and animals. On the sixth day God performed their supreme act. They created the human by their own image.
God followed the celestial pattern and built the Garden of Eden, and appointed Adam and Eve as workers in the Garden and protectors of nature and all living creatures. Above all, as spiritual pastors to the humankind.
Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden and had it all. Rivers of milk and honey run through the garden. Every tree good to look and eat grew there. The air brimmed with eternal life and bliss.
And God said it plain to them. Don’t eat the fruit from the tree in the middle of the Garden!
For God held the autonomous power over the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
But Eve listened to the Serpent’s evil words and ate the Forbidden Fruit, and tempted Adam into committing the sin too. By eating it, they profane the divine decree, corrupt the natural world and human nature. In other words, they rebelled against God and grasped the opportunity to make their own rules of what is good or evil.
Now the humankind had the power of choice. But the choice went together with responsibility.
Why did humans (and still do) choose the sin and evil over the virtue and good?
Did they not know what things God detests?
Murder, yet Cain killed his brother, Abel, out of anger and jealousy.
An adultery, yet David lust for Bathsheba and killed her husband.
Violence, yet Salome asked for John the Baptist’s head for revenge.
Greed, yet Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.
Deceit, yet Jacob deceived his dying father, Isaac, into giving him the first-born blessing.
Let us make a short digression. Nowadays, humans covet not only the neighbours’ land, but also the space inhabited by aliens. Still wage wars, for reasons known to the autocrat and their coterie, and shed innocent blood. It sounds like comparing apples to oranges, but certain people have more money than some nations in the world. It is legal. What is wrong with that then? And we claim to be wise but glorify and follow them. Now, go back to those times.
God saw it was not good.
Signs came to the humankind of the earth’s end times. Love grew cold, human stood against human, and nation against nation.
The Lamb of God opened the Seals.
The angels blew the trumpets.
God poured out the bowls of their wrath.
And all the people, kings with worldly treasures and shepherds with their cattle, all proud and greedy, run to mountains for peace and safety and pray, Hide us from the divine wrath!
But human breath turned cold and the body crumbled like a weathered statue. It turned back to its beginning.
Birds fly too high in the sky, and fish swim too deep in the sea, never to appear again.
The sun becomes as dark as black cloth, and the moon as red as blood. Stars of heaven fell to the earth like figs shaken by a mighty wind.
The earth shook and trembled, and every mountain and island moved out of its place.
Firmament and all the visible expanse receded to a rolled-up scroll.
Light and dark blend in the primordial nonbeing. Day and night grew timeless. All sank into chaos.
God said, Let there be dark.
