In the beginning He spoke and said:
‘Let there be light’
He separated the day from the night
and set boundaries for the water
above and below
Before all this there was great calamity
in heaven due to Lucifer’s desire
There was a war that broke out in the angelic realm
Given free will, one third of the spirit beings
saw the opponent’s rebellion inviting and joined him
‘Let us make man in our likeness’ The Creator said
So out of the dust of the earth Adam was formed
He was given much, had reason, and was bestowed
with the joy of naming the animals
but he longed for the happiness of a companion
Whilst Adam was asleep a rib was taken
Eve was formed, becoming the first woman
The serpent, Satan, having been cast down to the earth
dwelt in the garden where Adam was required
to be keeper, to obey, cooperate, and depend on his Father
The serpent spoke to gullible Eve, capturing her interest
His motive to have her compromise her obedience
Questioning Eve about the precious fruit of the trees
she responded that she and Adam weren’t to eat
from the tree in the midst of the garden
The scroll of His Book doesn’t detail
what fruit was eaten, but it wasn’t an apple!
Because our parents yielded to temptation
we bare the yoke of sin, and must be zealous
to gain the vision of The Savior Who ventured here
The Christ endured humbling on the cross
because it was expedient to exemplify
Father’s love for man by the sacrifice of His Son
which was foreordained before the foundation of the earth
The victory of Salvation achieved ~ yonder lies eternity

Gen 1:1 In the beginning Elohim created the heaven and the earth. [and His creation was perfect~ between lines one and 2 the angelic rebellion occurred]
Job 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
His creation was so perfect & beautiful that the angels rejoiced!
Gen 1:2 And the earth was [became] without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And Elohim said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And Elohim saw the light, that it was good: and Elohim divided the light from the darkness.
6 And Elohim said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And Elohim made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
26 And Elohim said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So Elohim created man in His own image, in the image of Elohim created He him; male and female created He them.
Gen 2:7 And YAH Elohim formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 And the YAH Elohim planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there He put the man whom He had formed.
9 And out of the ground made YAH Elohim to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
15 And YAH Elohim took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
16 And YAH Elohim commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
21 And the YAH Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which YAH Elohim had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which YAH Elohim had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath Elohim said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Elohim hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it [she added this!], lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:[the first lie on earth!]
5 For Elohim doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as mighty ones, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Joh 3: 16 For YAH so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For YAH sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.

Nicely done, and told with a testimony of the scriptures, the stories from the beginning to the end or is it the end to a new beginning after what Christ's return will do? Excellently done with the word bank. Thanks for entering. Blessings.
