5) The Fifth "Day" of Creation:
65 to 1.75 Million Earth Years Ago
And God said, 'Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life and fowl that may fly above Earth in the open firmament of heaven [sky]. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind... And God blessed them saying, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in Earth 'And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
(Genesis 1:20-23)
In 2 Enoch, it is written that God disclosed to Enoch some of His creations of the 5th Day:
"And on the 5th Day I commanded the sea to engender fishes and [I created] feathered birds and many different kinds, and every kind of reptile that creeps on Earth, and that walks on Earth on four legs and that flies through the air-male sex and female - and every kind of soul that breathes the breath of all living things." (30:7)
This, following the course of time, describes the Tertiary Period of the Cenozoic Era that includes the successive Paleocene, Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, and Pliocene Epochs (64 million years), at the beginning of which God re-foliated Earth. Mammals and birds (and the grasses and seed plants necessary to feed them that were initially created during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic Eras) were reintroduced and became more abundant upon Earth. Paleo-botanists have recently come to realize that the rainforests that developed on Earth after the extinction of the dinosaurs were not only lush, but were also very rich with diverse forms of plant life. One such rainforest existed at Castle Rock, Colorado and it alone contained over 100 species of plants.
And God created the great whales [during the Eocene Epoch about 55 million years ago] and every living creature that moveth which the waters brought forth abundantly. (Genesis 1:21)
This means that all life came originally from the sea. He created the modern bird species ("every winged fowl"), monkeys, anteaters, pigs, cats, dogs, deer, rodents, primitive apes and bats, horses, camels, small reptiles ("every beast of Earth"), and all insects, ("every thing that creepeth upon Earth after his kind." Genesis 1:24) The internal and external designs of bats and anteaters (both created and perfected during the Eocene Epoch, and both designed to keep the insect population in check) remain the same to this very day. This is further evidence to support the postulation that no living thing on this planet has ever self-changed: Species were either deliberately changed or not, based upon factors of suitability.
Meanwhile, beginning in the Pliocene Epoch and continuing on through the Pleistocene Epoch, God continued to experiment with various shapes and designs for each species of plant and animal life. For example, He changed the physical form of the proboscidean (elephants, mastodons, mammoths) approximately 350 times during a time span of 50 million years, finally settling upon the present-day African and Asiatic versions of elephants. Elephants, like dinosaurs, were created to be the stewards of their assigned sectors of Earth. At the end of this Age, and after the last Ice Age to come (12,000 YA), God would further change the environmentally beneficial African elephant into two separate species, one to tend the grasslands (the bush elephant) and the other to tend the forests. None of God's creatures "evolved" their traits; God bequeathed certain traits/abilities upon them (e.g., that of camouflage), simply because those traits/abilities worked well within a particular ecosystem. During these Epochs, the Giza Plateau, destined to be the future site of God's Great Pyramids, was completely underwater.
(Always remember, some of Ham's descendants (Noah's son) settled in Egypt.)
During the Miocene Epoch, God made
the primitive apes and placed them initially
in the forests of Turkey and western and
southern Europe. In time, however, as the
temperatures of the northern regions fell,
He moved them southward and placed the
modern versions in the warmer climates
of Asia and Africa. Flowering plants, trees,
birds, and sea life were similar in design to
the modern versions of the same. From just
two simple, once-celled life forms, the alga
(ex. Chlamydomonas) and the protozoa.
God created all the life (the plant and animal kingdoms) that exists upon this Earth, "And God saw that it was good."
(Genesis 1:25)
Although God had created an Earthly "paradise" - a greenhouse on the third "day," during this time when Earth reached equilibrium, more of the angels, or cosmonauts, literally came down to Earth and subsequently established sophisticated, technically advanced civilizations, or Earth colonies:
The ministering angels used to muster and come down from heaven in companies, and in bands and cohorts [clones] from heaven, to execute His will in all Earth.
(3 Enoch 5:2)
Artifacts from ancient civilizations suggest they carved out landing corridors, and in addition, constructed laboratories and medical facilities on the plateaus of mountains; they transplanted seed plants from the space lab to a centralized botanic garden on the plateau of a mountainous region (the Biblical "Eden"), then further transplanted them to pre-determined locations on Earth's other sectors, or continents. This was their world, and they are the original, intelligent inhabitants of Earth who are ironically called "aliens" and "extra-terrestrials." They are dual-natured, or male/female, as was Adam before the essence of Eve was extracted from his being.9 When Enoch was taken up to the "third heaven" (where God's space station was situated above Earth during Biblical times), he was shown a massive botanic garden and described the angels whose duty it was to keep the garden.
"They brought me up to the third heaven [mesosphere]. And they placed me in the midst of Paradise. And that place has an appearance of pleasantness that has never been seen. Every tree was in full flower. Every fruit was ripe, every food was in yield profusely; every fragrance was pleasant. And the four rivers were flowing past with gentle movement, with every kind of garden producing every kind of food.
And
the tree of life
is in that place,
(Don't worship the geometry
(That's worshiping the gift,
which is Idolatry,
worship the creator of life
The giver of it,
not the gift.)
under which the Lord takes a rest when the Lord takes a walk in Paradise. And that tree is indescribable for pleasantness and fragrance... these are three hundred angels very bright, who keep the garden, and with incessant sweet singing and never-silent voices serve the Lord throughout all days and hours."
(2 Enoch, 8)
The phrase "every kind of garden
producing every kind of food" is a clear
indication that there were different
landscapes present, and that a variety
of plants were created to fit the many
environments and ecosystems of Earth.
Information in the Apocryphal book II
Esdras 3:5, further suggests that God had
developed plants before Earth had reached
a period of homeostasis: "And thou led
him [Adam] into Paradise, which thy right
hand had planted before ever Earth came
forward." This means that a Paradise (the
botanic garden) was developed in outer
space before Earth reached homeostasis
and was then later transplanted to Earth.
"And the evening and the morning were the 5th day." (Genesis 1:23)
I have made it clear that
I don't necessarily agree with everything that is presented,
just trying to drive home the point
that it beats any three petal lotus flower blooming
or any other creation story that there is available.
None of them have
time space energy and matter
coming forth in a continuum,
let alone light at two separate instances,
let alone a lot of other things.
Given what is happening in our world right now?
And the things we are seeing playing out?
Prophecies being full filled right in front of your eyes?
I think its more than worthy of your consideration.
