"let him hear what the Spirit saith" - Why Must God Interfere with this World?

Tokyo

Why Must God Interfere with this World?

Without human beings on the earth, there must be no evil deeds and acts on the earth.

So, more than three million years ago when no human species was yet established, this world on the earth had no phenomena caused by evil spirits.  The world must have been wonderful even when dinosaurs were dominant.

But today, we can see how the nature of this planet has been contaminated by industry driven by evil capitalism.  We can also see sinful acts and crimes human beings have committed, being driven by evil spirits.

Before the human history began, this universe did not include any evil things.  But desire, greed, hatred, and other foolish and inhumane characteristics of mankind generated so many evil things in this universe.  After the Big Bang till the rise of mankind, this universe had been clean and benign without any evil elements, though it looked so dynamic, violent, and horrible sometimes.

If intellectual faculties of mankind were very low, there must be little damage on the earth.  With evil minds and high mental ability, mankind has been destroying the nature and their own members through foolish industrial activities and bloody wars.

Was this earth was created for evil spirits to harm and pollute it in exchange of satisfying human desire?

Something is wrong.

Were intellectual living things that would emerge on the earth inherently destined by any natural laws or universal inevitability for abusing the nature and their members to satisfy their desire?

Everything mankind has invented and created using their high mental ability is turning to be means with which evil people make a fortune or satisfy their desire.  Even religions are being abused by bad guys, no to mentions science, technologies, laws, and ideologies.

If there is no God, mankind would go along this evil course till the end, continuing to damage the earth and humanity.  If mankind should expand their active scope to Mars and other celestial objects, still the rule of evil spirits would continue.

But, if there is God and He cannot accept this foolish expansion of the human world, He must interfere at a certain point of history.  It was actually 2000 years ago when Christ Jesus was born.  And it should be today 2000 years after the birth of Christ Jesus.

This evil world created by mankind on the earth must be wiped away by God who must hate spiritual and material contamination of the earth and human minds.

"son of man, be not afraid of them" - A Mother and her Child in Old Japan

Tokyo

A Mother and her Child in Old Japan

Once in Japan or in and before the 19th century, unique child adoption was practiced in some local areas.

A poor mother would sometimes travel around with her little child she could not raise by herself.  From a village to another and from a house to another, such a mother asked free accommodation for the night.  No villagers would rather reject such a request, though they knew what she hoped for.

One of such mothers asked a night's lodging and a meal from a farm house.  The mother and her child took a humble supper with the host family.  They didn't talk much.  And later family members retired to sleep in different rooms.  But the mother and child was left in the dining room with a wooden floor and the "irori" hearth.  They slept around the hearth set in the central part of the wooden floor.

She could have woken up early in the morning to leave the house, leaving her child.  Then, the host family would have naturally taken the child as an adopted one.  It was a common custom in some local areas in Japan.

But in this particular case, she thought that her little boy would have to sleep on the wooden floor after he was adopted while other family members would sleep in "tatami" mattress rooms.  She could not bear the image.  So, she took her child with her to continue travelling and finding a suitable house.

Finally in one village house, she could entrust her poor child to an old woman who took the little boy to her sleeping chamber for the night, saying, "Oh, poor little child. I will take this one into my bedding."

Later, this child grew up to be a full-fledged worker, and one day he visited a village where his mother had once come from.  But he didn't return and live in the village.   He continued to live in the village where he had been adopted, inheriting some fortune from the fostering family, though it was not large as he was an adopted member.

So, once in Japan or in and before the 19th century, unique child adoption was practiced in some local areas.

"Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it" - Three Planes at Dusk

Tokyo and Mt. Fuji with a Star above

Three Planes at Dusk

At yesterday's dusk, I saw a military transport plane flying 2 km high toward Tokyo.  While I was watching it, something fast came to pass by it in the sky.  It was a jet fighter flying at almost the same altitude.

The sun was going down leaving the last glow of the day.  It looked bright yellow heavily tinged with red, whose glimpse I could follow till it faded over woods.

My eyes were tracking the jet fighter, now just a tiny black dot in the grey sky.  Then another military transport plane appeared from the sky over Tokyo.  Its path crossed the course of the first transport plane.  They didn't collide against each other, eventually.

Whatever the three airplanes symbolized, I was in the middle of the winter around Tokyo so peacefully.

"cloven tongues like as of fire" - 250 Million Year Cycle

Tokyo

250 Million Year Cycle

Our solar system circulates around to the center of our galaxy.

It takes 250 million years for our solar system to make circuit.

And 250 million years ago a great extinction of living things occurred on the earth. When our solar system was on the same position 250 million years ago as it is today, up to 96% of all marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species became extinct.

This event is called the Permian–Triassic (P–Tr) extinction event, which paved the way for dominance of dinosaurs though it took 10 million years for creatures on the earth came to flourish again after the the P–Tr extinction.

For God to create mankind, He had to first destroy most of creatures on the earth 250 million years ago and then He had to destroy dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

In other word, human beings might have been born 250 million years ago, but the emergence of the human species needed the preceding era of dinosaurs' dominance.

In my theory, we are now entering a dangerous era in the scale of the galaxy whose diameter is 100,000 light years.  Something in the earth might be influenced by the position of the solar system in the galaxy, and it might trigger a long-term and large-scale natural disaster like simultaneous eruptions of tens of thousands of volcanoes on the earth.  If so, up to 96% of all marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species would get extinct, probably, within tens of thousands of years.

And afterward, a new type of human species might dominate over the earth.  In the next time that the solar system comes to the same position within the galaxy as it is today, the earth might not have a memory of our civilization and religions.      

Indeed, only God is great!

The sun is about 26,000 light-years from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, which is about 80,000 to 120,000 light-years across (and less than 7,000 light-years thick). We are located on on one of its spiral arms, out towards the edge. It takes the sun -and our solar system- roughly 200-250 million years to orbit once around the Milky Way. In this orbit, we are traveling at a velocity of about 155 miles/sec (250 km/sec).

Professors Medvedev and Melott of the University of Kansas have a different theory based on the same regular motion.  As the Sun ventures out "above" the galactic plane, it becomes increasingly exposed to the cosmic ray generating shock front that the Milky Way creates as it ploughs through space.  As we get closer to this point of maximum exposure, leaving the shielding of the thick galactic disk behind, the Kansas researchers hold that the increasing radiation destroys many higher species, forcing another evolutionary epoch.  This theory also matches in time with the dinosaur extinction.

"King of the Jews" - The Hand Must Rot Off

The Hand Must Rot Off

Most of Japanese have never read the Bible.

But those who have never read the Koran are  more than those who have never read the Bible.

In the Japanese version of the Koran, Allah is often angry and scolds people with sever words.  It is not the image most of Japanese have of God.  Allah also accuses the ungodly and unbelievers in a manner that looks simply horrible to Japanese.  Allah in the Koran is too rough for Japanese to accept Him.

But the English translation of the Koran might sound a little more moderate than the Japanese version.

111 Surat Al-Masad (The Palm Fiber, Flame) 

111:1
May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined, and ruined is he.
111:2
His wealth will not avail him or that which he gained.
111:3
He will [enter to] burn in a Fire of [blazing] flame
111:4
And his wife [as well] - the carrier of firewood.
111:5
Around her neck is a rope of [twisted] fiber.

I am truly afraid that the hand of any terrorist who kills a Japanese might get ruined.

(Of course, if a Japanese kills a pious Muslim, his hand might rot off.)

"into Capernaum" - Jesus Foresaw Islam

Mt. Fuji at Dusk, 100 km from Tokyo, with a Star above; The Tokyo Skytree Tower 

Jesus Foresaw Islam

Did Jesus foretell the future emergence of Islam?

Some believe so.

JESUS DESCRIBES WHO WAS TO COME AFTER HIM  

We read from the lips of Jesus (saas), in the Gospel of John, as he is speaking to his disciples, the following prophesy: "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you."(John 14:16-17) Jesus (saas) goes on to say: "But the Counselor, the Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." (John 14:26), and further: "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me" (John 15:26) and Further:  

"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you."(John 16:7-14).  

Notice that in various places this Prophesy is for, what is referred to either as a "Comforter" or a "Counselor." -Both of these words are the translations of what is the same word in the Greek manuscript, the Greek word "Paraclete." 

'PARACLETE' = 'AHMAD'!!! 

There has been much confusion over these verses, and who/what the Paraclete is, although the traditionally accepted view today is that these verses refer to the Holy Spirit. However it is important to note, that this verse is rather ambiguous, and many Christian historians make an interesting note. From The Anchor Bible, Doubleday & Company, Inc, Volume 29A, p. 1135 we read the following VERY interesting note: "…scholars like Spitta, Delafosse, Windisch, Sasse, Bultmann, and Betz have doubted whether this identification is true to the original picture and have suggested that the Paraclete was once an independent salvific figure, later confused with the Holy Spirit." 

So this gets us thinking. A lot of early Christians did NOT interpret this to be a Spirit. Very interesting! But, the plot thickens! Let us take another glance at the word "Paraclete." 

Paraclete comes from the Greek Root word Parakletos. From this same root word comes it's derivitive, Periklytos, which means, "Praised one." Does anyone know what the Arabic word for "Praised one" is? If you guessed "Muhammad" you are right!  

http://www.huda.tv/articles/what-is-islam/345-did-jesus-prophesy-the-coming-of-muhammad

Today, the Western society is losing morals.

Along with advancement of capitalism and commercialism, Christianity has lost influential power  on people.   Greedy and immorality have become the norm.  Traditional moral codes of conduct have been neglected in pursue of wealth.

Major companies and influential businesses are advertising their goods and services by using TV and diffusing very indecent commercial messages.  They are arousing lust of people.  They are making consumers buy more goods and services by presenting a fantasy of enjoying rich lives.  Churches cannot cope with this trend of desire-driven economy.  As a result, while being indecent, greedy, or abnormal, Europeans and Americans think they can be blessed by God to be admitted into Heaven after death.  Commercialism has finally brainwashed Christians in Europe and America.

Today, no Christians blame Wall Street for its greedy and Hollywood for its indecency and abnormality.  They never blame the British royal family and the noble class for the same reasons.

Even the Pope looks like losing holy and spiritual power.  He does not live like a homeless person.  He is just one of a member of the European high society.

Then what would God do to Europeans and Americans?

He might use Muslims who look more pious and more obedient to God.  God might show that He loves poor Muslims than rich Christians.  Or He might request Western Christians to show that their faith is stronger than that of Muslims.

But is is very horrible that this challenge for Christians against Muslims is posed through acts of terrorists or murders who call themselves Muslims.

Maybe through this conflict between Western Christian countries and Islamic terrorists, Christians might feel responsible for this world contaminated by capitalism and commercialism.  When this de-facto war between Western countries and Islamic terrorists is over, Christians in the world might come to be closer to Muslims, at least, in enthusiasm for practicing their religion.

And, as Christ Jesus is God, He must have foreseen the rise of Islam long before the birth of holy Muhammad in 570.  But the Bible might have omitted His critical words on Islam for some reasons.  We may have now only a vague prophecy on Islam in the Christian Gospels.

"and shalt call his name JESUS" - Don't Judge Others

Tokyo

Don't Judge Others

If you are alone, you have still two relationships: the one with yourself and another between you and the God.

But in terms of human relationships, you have only one: A to A.

If there are two persons (A and B), they have four relationships: two for each one's own relationship (A-A and B-B), one between them (A-B), and the last one for the group of [A, B] to itself that is expressed as [A, B]-[A, B].

If there are three persons (A, B and C), there are 13 relationships (A-A, B-B, C-C, A-B, A-C, B-C, A-[B, C], B-[C, A], C-[A, B], [A, B]-[A, B], [B, C]-[B, C], [C, A]-[C, A], [A, B, C]-[A, B, C]).

Here A-[B, C] means the relationship between A and the group of B and C.  And [A, B]-[A, B] means the relationship of the group [A, B] to itself.  Lastly, [A, B, C]-[A, B, C] is the relationship of the group [A, B, C] to itself.

So, if you are alone, no mystery would happen.  If anything has been done, it is you that has done it.  But, if there are three persons, a mystery would occur.  If anything has been done, you cannot easily tell who or what relationship can be a cause of the event.  The relationship of someone to himself might be a cause or the relationship between A and the group of B and C might be a cause.

That is why in this world you must not blame anybody so easily.  If A killed B, the true cause might be simply A's psychological problem (A-A) or the relationship between A and the group of B and C (A-[B, C]).

Even if A thinks his enemy is B, the true antagonism might arise from the relationship between A and the group of B and C.

In a community of 10 persons or 100 persons, it would be more complicated.  That is why we must not judge others, according to the teaching of Christ Jesus.

In addition, that is why a man and a woman must be husband and wife on the permanent base.
    

In general, the behavior of a three body system can be very messy, as the following image of a three body system (with two fixed suns) indicates, made using Newton’s laws at this three-body applet):

"After me cometh a man" - A 1995 Heroic Nurse Returned to Her Hometown

A 1995 Heroic Nurse Returned to Her Hometown

I saw a TV program that featured a nurse who saved and helped many evacuees of the 1995 Hanshin-Kobe Great Earthquake.

She then continued her mission to save and help victims of natural disasters in Japan and abroad.  Ms. Kuroda even ventured into disaster-stricken areas of the 2011 Great Northeast Japan Tsunami as soon as the catastrophic disaster occurred to support various medical and human-care activities.  She was respected especially by old people who evacuated their homes and were forced to live in shelters and temporary houses.

Ms. Kuroda was also a well known expert in the field of emergency medical care in the medical society.

She died in her 70s last year for cancer.

Her last wish was to move to a hospital in her birthplace, Shimane Prefecture, though she was hospitalized in Kobe City of Hyogo Prefecture.

Ms. Kuroda was transferred to Izumo City and a university hospital by airplane while receiving medical care.  In the hospital in her old hometown, she died watching the landscape.

For 20 years from 1995 when the big earthquake occurred in the Hanshin area around Kobe and Osaka of west Japan, where she had been working in hospitals for 40 years, to 2014 when she died in the middle of her humanitarian mission, she was working without even taking one-day holiday.  She was always moving from a disastrous area to another to take care of those who needed medical and mental help.

But what was in her mind was the landscape of a country town where she was born and raised.  She left her parents' home after graduating from a junior high school to enter a nurse school in the Hanshin area.

There are some elements in her life that are also related to me, so that the TV program was so interesting.

"fifty and four thousand and four hundred" - ISIS Hostage Case Involving Japanese

Tokyo

ISIS Hostage Case Involving Japanese

In this week, all the Japanese Media have been busy reporting the ISIS hostage case involving Japanese journalist Mr. Kenji Goto and war-oriented adventurer Mr. Haruna Yukawa in addition to a Jordanian pilot held by ISIS and a female terrorist held by the Jordan Government.

One Japanese ex-diplomat wrote on the net that Jordan and Japan are subject to the US, so that both the countries would follow suggestions from the US Government.  It means that there would be no exchange between Goto or the Jordanian pilot and the female terrorist.

It is said that Amman is a key Arabic city for CIA.  There must be some influential CIA agents in the capital of Jordan.  Accordingly, ISIS or ISIL must target Amman in this hostage game.  If a majority of the Jordanian people come to hate an American influence on the Jordan Government through a proceeding of this incident, ISIS might think they have succeeded.

The true major player in this hostage case seem to be CIA.

But, sooner or later ISIS will be destroyed.  Then, will the US Government be committed in Syria and Iraq on a long-time basis?

Nonetheless, it may look a little strange that Israel and Dubai are not hidden major players in this game, at least, so far as now.

"but they shall not find me" - Christ Jesus and Prophet Amos

Tokyo

Christ Jesus and Prophet Amos

The first biblical prophetic book is the Book of Amos.

Amos blamed rich Hebrews for their disregard of poor people. It was like Christ Jesus blamed rich Isrealis, though Amos lived almost 800 years earlier than Christ.

The Book of Amos is a prophetic book of the Hebrew Bible, one of the Twelve Minor Prophets. Amos, an older contemporary of Hosea and Isaiah,[1] was active c. 750 BC during the reign of Jeroboam II,[1] (786–746 BC) making the Book of Amos the first biblical prophetic book written. Amos lived in the kingdom of Judah but preached in the northern kingdom of Israel.[1] His major themes of social justice, God's omnipotence, and divine judgment became staples of prophecy.

The Book of Amos is set in a time when the people of Israel have reached a low point in their devotion to the God of Israel – the people have become greedy and have stopped following and adhering to their values. The wealthy elite are becoming rich at the expense of others. Peasant farmers who once practiced subsistence farming are being forced to farm what is best for foreign trade, mostly wine and oil. (Amos 6:6)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Amos#Themes

Over and over again and time and time again, human kingdoms, nations, and societies got corrupt.  But for the first time a prophet told that God would punish people due to their corruption.  The prophet was Amos.  And it was far before ancient Greece's prosperity, Alexander the Great's adventure, and the glory of Caesar.  Indeed, Hebrews have been the chosen people by God even in this context.

This prophecy still looks like applicable to nations of the present day in the world.  

Judgment on Israel 

6 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of Israel,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they sell the righteous for silver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals—
7 those who trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth
and turn aside the way of the afflicted;
a man and his father go in to the same girl,
so that my holy name is profaned;
8 they lay themselves down beside every altar
on garments taken in pledge,
and in the house of their God they drink
the wine of those who have been fined.
9 “Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,
whose height was like the height of the cedars
and who was as strong as the oaks;
I destroyed his fruit above
and his roots beneath.
10 Also it was I who brought you up out of the land of Egypt
and led you forty years in the wilderness,
to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up some of your sons for prophets,
and some of your young men for Nazirites.
Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?”
declares the Lord.
12 “But you made the Nazirites drink wine,
and commanded the prophets,
saying, ‘You shall not prophesy.’
13 “Behold, I will press you down in your place,
as a cart full of sheaves presses down.
14 Flight shall perish from the swift,
and the strong shall not retain his strength,
nor shall the mighty save his life;
15 he who handles the bow shall not stand,
and he who is swift of foot shall not save himself,
nor shall he who rides the horse save his life;
16 and he who is stout of heart among the mighty
shall flee away naked in that day,”
declares the Lord. (ESV)
http://www.gospelhall.org/bible/bible.php?passage=Amos+2&search=&ver1=esv&ver2=&commentary=&submit=Search

Today, still the rich trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth.  God must punish people over and over again and time and time again.

Indeed, Christ Jesus looks like a kind of successor to the prophet Amos.

"God created man in his own image" - The Holocaust and The Industrial Revolution

Tokyo

The Holocaust and The Industrial Revolution

The Holocaust was a result of wrong advancement of the European civilization through the 18th century to the 19th and the early 20th centuries.

Without the Industrial Revolution that started in England in the late 18th century, the Holocaust should not have happened.

The modern industry emerging through the Industrial Revolution had a strong influence on the human mind sets of Europeans in the period.  It was so powerful and effective in producing modern industrial goods.  But it gave higher priority to inhuman efficiency and control.  People were forced to obey the rule of technology, machine, business, management, and capitalism.  People were requested to neglect human sides of their minds and human values in the environment so as to pursue wealth and material success.

Everything unnecessary, wasteful,  unwanted, and cumbersome was requested to be removed from factories, offices, and industrial systems.  To eradicate whatever is obstacle to achieving a high target was regraded as something good.

This principle was applied to politics and religion, so wrongly.

Then, Judaists in Europe faced the Holocaust in WWII.

Nazis thought they were doing something good like engineers thought they were doing something good when they removed interfering factors from their engineering systems.

So, without the Industrial Revolution having been driven in such a manner, there should have been no Holocaust.

"the unclean spirit had torn him" - Muslims vs. Americans, Chinese and Hindus

Tokyo

Muslims vs. Americans, Chinese and Hindus

Can Islam prevail in the US in future?

Islam in the United States is the third-largest faith in America, after Christianity and Judaism, representing 0.6% of the population.

While an estimated 30% of the slaves brought to colonial America from Africa arrived as Muslims, Islam was stringently suppressed on plantations.

American Muslims come from various backgrounds, and are one of the most racially diverse religious groups in the United States according to a 2009 Gallup poll.

In 2005, more people from Islamic countries became legal permanent United States residents — nearly 96,000 — than in any year in the previous two decades. In 2009, more than 115,000 Muslims became legal residents of the United States.

The U.S. Census Bureau does not collect data on religious identification.

There are 2 million Muslim adherents across the country in 2010.  Islamic populations are 0.6% of the US population per Fareed Zakaria quoting Pew Research Center, 2010.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_the_United_States#Demographics

Or will Islam conquer Africa sooner or later?

It was estimated in 2002 that Muslims constitute 45% of the population of Africa.[3] Islam has a large presence in North Africa, the Horn of Africa, the Swahili Coast, and much of West Africa, with minority but significant immigrant populations in South Africa. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Africa   

However there are 160 million Muslims in India, and 22 million Muslims in China.

Incidentally, it is not clear how many Japanese Muslims are.  It is estimated to be from less than 1,000 to 20,000.  They are mostly spouses of foreign Muslims.  Among 125 million Japanese, they have almost no influence in the Japanese society.

The point at issue is how much Muslims can respect heathens and how much Americans, Japanese, Chinese and Hindus respect Muslims.

Will Muslims never attack heathens?  Will Americans, Chinese, and Hindus never attack Muslims?

If they cannot promise it, God should interfere.

Mar 1:27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

"Why baptizest thou then" - The Rich Getting Richer and More Sinful

Tokyo Downtown Area

The Rich Getting Richer and More Sinful 

The Bible teaches that the rich will be richer and the poor will be poorer.

But, Christ Jesus said: "Those who don't have enough will have whatever little things he has taken away."

Economic situations are mere results of spiritual conditions.  If you become a servant of Satan, you can be rich.  If you stick to the teaching of God, you will remain poor.

And those who sell their souls to Satan in exchange of wealth will be further more evil as time goes by.  The richer they become, the more evil they will be.  And as they are getting more evil, they are going to be richer and richer.

To understand this movement, you don't need specific economic theories.

I only have to point at the fact that, from the beginning, money is an instrument invented by Satan to make mankind foolish and sinful.  Having big money is being trapped by devils in various ways.

But what is more remarkable is that God takes away whatever little conscience and belief in the teaching of God they have when they are getting more evil and richer.

Accordingly, their end will come from Heaven but not from the hell full of money.  No matter how much you become rich, if you completely lose your faith in God and human conscience, you cannot maintain your existence as a human being, since God allows a human being to exist only as long as he has any little faith in God.

Those evil and rich people are advancing to their catastrophe while they are getting richer and richer and losing faith in God more and more.

And, the poor will be saved if they stick to their faith in God.

But, what the Kingdom of God will be for them?

Joh 1:25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
Joh 1:26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
Joh 1:27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

Gen 1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
