A Glimpse Into Chronicles Of The Bible

Excerpt from the book

"In the beginning, there was nothing, or at least, nothing like anything we recognise today. No mountains, no seas, no sun, no moon, no birds in the sky or fish in the water. The cosmos was an empty, dark expanse, and yet, somehow, it was pregnant with possibility. Into this void, God spoke, and the universe, quite literally, began to listen.

First came light, splitting the dark with a boldness that would become a recurring theme in the story of creation, light against darkness, life against emptiness, order against chaos. Day one was light, night followed, and a rhythm began, a heartbeat for the world.

Then came the sky, the waters above and below drawn apart as if the universe itself were stretching and yawning. Land emerged from the water, fields and forests and deserts taking shape, a patchwork quilt of terrain, waiting for life to make its mark. Vegetation followed with grasses, trees, and flowers all producing seeds so life could perpetuate itself without human interference. It was a world designed to flourish, resilient and self-renewing.

The sun, moon, and stars were placed next, to govern the cycles of day and night, seasons, and years, a cosmic clock for the rhythm of life to come. Birds took to the sky, fish to the seas, and all living creatures filled the lands and waters in a riot of movement and colour. The world was teeming, bustling, abundant beyond imagination.

And then humanity came. Made in God’s image, humans were not just part of creation they were its stewards, entrusted with tending, naming, and caring for the world. Adam and Eve were made from flesh and blood yet echoing the divine, a spark of intelligence, creativity, and curiosity that set them apart from the rest of creation.

This was a world full of promise. It was a world of order, beauty, and rhythm, designed to sustain life and reflect the character of its Maker. Yet even in this perfection, there was space for choice, for responsibility, and, inevitably, for the beginnings of struggle."
