IN THE BEGINNING    THERE WAS DARKNESS. AND THE EARTH WAS VOID

THE SEVEN DAYS OF CREATION

DAY  1

THE SPIRIT OF GOD WAS MOVING OVER THE SURFACE OF THE WATERS. SUDDENLY THERE WAS LIGHT ALL AROUND.

BUT GOD LEFT SOME OF THE DARKNESS

HE MADE THE LIGHT FOR DAYTIME AND KEPT THE DARKNESS FOR NIGHT TIME. GOD LOOKED AT WHAT HE HAD DONE  AND KNEW IT WAS GOOD. AND SO THE SUN

SET ON THE FIRST DAY OF CREATION.

DAY  2

GOD HAD CREATED LIGHT, BUT WATER STILL FILLED  THE AIR AND COVERED THE EARTH

ON THE SECOND DAY OF CREATION GOD SEPARATED THE WATERS ABOVE THE EARTH,  GIVING US THE AIR WE BREATH. GOD CALLED THE SKY HEAVEN.

GOD LOOKED AT WHAT HE HAD MADE AND KNEW IT WAS GOOD AND THE SUN SET ON THE SECOND DAY.

DAY 3

ON THE THIRD DAY GOD MOVED THE LAND. HE RAISED UP TALL MOUNTIANS AND PUSHED LAND DOWN TO MAKE DEEP VALLEYS. WATER FROM HIGHER GROUND BEGAN TO FLOW DOWNWARD.

SEA'S, RIVERS, AND LAKES WERE FORMED

ON THE DRY LAND GOD CAUSED THE TREES,

GRASS,

PLANTS,

AND FLOWERS TO SPRING UP, MAKING EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL.

GOD LOOKED AT WHAT HE HAD CREATED AND KNEW IT WAS GOOD.

AND SO THE SUN SET ON THE THIRD DAY OF CREATION.

Day 4

And God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day,

And the lesser light for the night.

And there was evening and morning

He made the stars also. And God placed them in the expanse of the heaven to give light on earth.

And God saw that it was good, and the sun set on another day.

Day 5

Then God said,"Let the waters swarm with living creatures."

Every winged bird

God looked at what He had done and saw it was good. So the sun set on another day.

Day 6

Then God said,"Let the earth bring forth living creatures that creep on the ground, cattle, and beasts of the earth.

Then God said, "Let Us make man. So God created man in His image. Let him rule over all the living things on the earth."

And God looked at what He had made and knew it was good.

And the sun set on another day of creation

Day 7

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed. Then God blessed the seventh day and then He rested from all He had created.
