How did God prepare for the Creation of man?

Heavens and the earth

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1).

Heavens: For Himself and for the Human race to live together eternally. Bible says, "And God has reserved for His children the priceless gift of eternal life ; it is kept in heaven for you..." (1 Peter 1:4). Earth: For our temporary abode, to prepare men spiritually ready for Heaven. Bible says, "And the Lord God planted a garden toward the east in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed" (Genesis 2:8).

Light

Then God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light (Genesis 1:3).

Light: For man to see and marvel at the great creations of God. Bible says, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hand" (Psalms 19:1). Day: for us to work. Jesus says, "As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me" (John 9:4). Night: for us to rest. Jesus says, "Night is coming, when no one can work" (John 9:4).

God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light 'day,' and the darkness he called 'night'. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the first day (Genesis 1:4-5).

Space

And God said, 'Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.' So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse 'sky'. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the second day (Genesis 1:6-8).

This provides man with fresh air to breath and live.

Land and Seas

And God said, 'Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.' And it was so. God called the dry ground 'land,' and the gathered waters he called 'seas.' And God saw that it was good (Genesis 1:9-10).

This is to spread out and build dwelling places for the future generations.

Plants

Then God said, 'Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds. And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good (Genesis 1:11-12).

To sustain the oxygen level and food supply for him and for the future generations. Bible says, "Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed... The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it" (Genesis 2:8,15). This garden provides the man, animals and birds with tasty fruits to enjoy to sustain life.

Sun, Moon and Stars

And God said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years. And let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.' And it was so.

God made two great lights -- the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light govern the night. He also made the Stars. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the fourth day. And so it was (Genesis 1:14-19).

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands" (Psalm 19:1). This was to further beautify the environment and provide seasonal supply of crops to make life more pleasant and enjoyable to His creations. And for man to exclaim and proclaim the marvelous handy works of God.

Living creatures

And God said, 'Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.' So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them and said, 'Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.' And there was evening, and there was morning -- the fifth day.

And God said, 'Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.' And it was so. 'God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good (Genesis 1:20-25).

To sustain the food supply, oxygen and carbon dioxide and other gases, to meet need of the expected population explosion of human beings, animals and plants.

God first created the full grown man and woman, the birds and the plants with reproductive organs and seeds in them and the cycle started to reproduce and multiply in every species.

Let's pause...

As you were reading, you might have noticed the words:

God said, "Let there be and it happened."

God created them all by the Words of His Mouth. That is how powerful God's Words are. He can destroy or create anything by the Words of his mouth.

Now that the preparation stage is completed, God proceeded with the creation of the First Man. How did God create the First Man?
