What connection does Genesis 1:26 have with Genesis 2:7? | William Branham

Now, first is Genesis 1:26, or 1:26 to 28, is where the—the person with the…they asked what it would be. What—what this question…I mean, asked the question, pardon me. And we want to read that first. And now, they got it wrote out here. If you want to follow it right back, it’s all right. Said, “God created man, male and female created He them.” See? And then on the next he’s got Genesis, or, he or she, one, has got Genesis 2:7, “He formed man out of the dust of the earth.” That’s another place. I’ll read them all, so we can get them together here so you can see. Now the first, the first phase of this is, now said: 1. “God created man, male and female. Created man, male and female.” Now that’s, I think, the first point. Now in Genesis 2:7, it says, “He formed,” (underscored) “but first He created.” He’s got then…he’s got that underscored. “And He formed” (underscored) “man out of the dust, and breathed into his nostrils,” and so forth. Now, what is the difference, or where is the connection in the above Scriptures? 10 Now, this is…Now, if you’ve got it wrote down, Genesis 1:26 to 28, and Genesis 2:7. Now, it’s a very touchy thing, and I—I may not…I just have my own idea of it, so I’ll just give it to you the way that I feel that it is. And if you different, well, that’s just fine. 11 I want to compliment Brother Neville on the fine answers he give to those questions there. Now, they’re fine. 12 Now, in this, Genesis 1:26, God made man in His Own image. And if you’d notice, we’ll get it so you can read it, and 26…If you’d like to read along with us, we’d be glad for you—for you to do it, check me up. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,…over the fowls of the air,…over the cattle,…of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 13 Now, that’s…I’ve heard that discussed many times, and around the world, discussions come up on that. Now in Genesis 2:7, watch what He did here. All right, here It is: And…God formed man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 14 Now, what kind of formation…? The—the questioner wants to ask: What connection does this Genesis 1:26 have with Genesis 2:7? God created two men. And which was the man, and which…What connection does that have? What…? How does it connect up in the Scripture? 15 Well, now, if you’ll notice close now, in Genesis 1:26, let’s get the first part first. God said, “Let Us.” Now, “let Us,” us is a…“Let Us make man in Our Own image.” Our, course, we realize He’s talking to Someone, He was speaking to another Being. “Let Us make man in Our Own image after Our likeness, and let them have dominion over the cattles of the field.” 16 If you notice, in creation, the first thing that was created, of course, was light. You come on down through the creation, the last thing was created was what? A man. And the woman was made after man. All right, the first…Last thing that was created, of God’s creation, is mankind. 17 But when God made His first man, if you noticed, He made him in the likeness of Himself, he was made in the image of God. And what is God? Now, if we can find out what God is, we can find what kind of a man He made. 18 Now in Saint John, the 4th chapter, and I’ll…you read this, Jesus speaking to the woman in the…if you’d like to turn to it. I…not having much time, I just didn’t write them right down, just have to take it by memory. And you look them up now, if I can find it right quick. Now let’s begin about the 4th chapter, and the 14th verse: And whosoever drinks of this water that I shall give unto him shall never thirst;…and be wells of water springing up into everlasting life. The woman said unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I…come not hither to draw. Jesus said…Go, and call thy husband,… The woman answered… 19 I believe we have to get a little above that now, to find out, find out what—what I want you to see here. Maybe not, maybe I can find it on down here, and what I want to see. What say? 23rd and 24th verse. All right. Ye worship…(that’s it)…Ye worship and you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. (and that’s right, see) But the hour cometh,…But the hour cometh, and now is, that the true worshippers (Jew or Gentile) shall worship the Father in the spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 20 Now, the next verse is where I want: God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 21 Now, if God created man in His Own image and in His Own likeness, what kind of a man did He create? A spirit man. 53-0729 - Questions And Answers On Genesis Rev. William Marrion Branham http://table.branham.org
