Following this we see the\u00a0LORD God took the man and put him in the garden to work and enjoy with one prohibition, 2:15-17.\u00a0(God gave this prohibition to Adam, so I believe we would have to conclude that Eve got her &#8220;answer&#8221; to the serpent in chapter three from Adam. Just a side note for now.)\u00a0The LORD GOD made a woman <strong>from<\/strong> the man <strong>for<\/strong> the man, 2:18-25.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But here is what really stood out to me, and the NASB captures it best:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">(Genesis 2:4 NASB95) This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made earth and heaven.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>God&#8217;s account.<\/strong>\u00a0We have God&#8217;s account from God&#8217;s holy book the Bible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">I know that is very plain and simple to see, but if we can stand outside of ourselves for a moment and see this in view of all earth history and in view of eternity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Can we see how obvious this truth will be when we stand before the throne of God? Can we see how obvious this will be to those who fought God their entire lives when they stand before God&#8217;s great white throne of judgment?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Here it is. Plainly stated for all to read. The account of creation given to us directly by the Creator, the Sovereign Lord of the universe, the Lord God Almighty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">There it is, as simple and clear as anything to understand. Do we have questions about the origins of the universe? Then maybe we should read and believe the account of the Creator, the Holy God who spoke these things into being.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Maybe not a bad idea to take God at his word?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Another haunting reminder of rebellion\u00a0for\u00a0the unsaved will come from\u00a0the testimony of the dating of our calendars. This year? AD 2016.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The terms anno Domini (AD or A.D.) and before Christ (BC orB.C.) are used to label or number years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. The term anno Domini is Medieval Latin, which means in the year of the Lord but is often translated as in the year of our Lord. It is occasionally set out more fully as anno Domini nostri Iesu (or Jesu) Christi (&#8220;in the year of Our Lord Jesus Christ&#8221;).<\/li>\n<li>This calendar era is based on the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus of Nazareth, with AD counting years from the start of this epoch, and BC denoting years before the start of the era. There is no year zero in this scheme, so the year AD\u00a01 immediately follows the year 1\u00a0BC. This dating system was devised in 525, but was not widely used until after 800.<\/li>\n<li>The Gregorian calendar is the most widely used calendar in the world today. For decades, it has been the unofficial global standard, adopted in the pragmatic interests of international communication, transportation, and commercial integration, and recognized by international institutions such as the United Nations.<\/li>\n<li>History<br \/>\nThe Anno Domini dating system was devised in 525 by Dionysius Exiguus to enumerate the years in his Easter table. His system was to replace the Diocletian era that had been used in an old Easter table because he did not wish to continue the memory of a tyrant who persecuted Christians.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anno_Domini\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anno_Domini<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p2\">How tragically ironic this will be for billions.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\">God gives a clear account, and each person will one day stand before him and give their account.<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>(<span lang=\"en-US\">Romans 14:11\u201312<\/span> ESV)<span lang=\"en-US\"><sup>11<\/sup>\u00a0F<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">or it is written, \u201cAs I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.\u201d <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\"><sup>12<\/sup> <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>(<span lang=\"en-US\">Matthew 12:36<\/span> NASB95)<span lang=\"en-US\"><sup>36<\/sup> <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">\u201cBut I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>(<span lang=\"en-US\">Revelation 20:11\u201315<\/span> ESV)<span lang=\"en-US\"><sup>11<\/sup> <\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it.
