To Eternity and Beyond

Chapter 4: THE ADVENT OF MAN

An enormous silence swept through the atmospheres of heaven and the whole universe for a long while. Cassie watched very fixedly with Wisdom right by her side. All the other remaining angels stood in great awe of the King also. Earth world had been destroyed. Unfortunately. And that was because of the evil and rebellion of Lucifer and his angels who had been banished from heaven.
It seemed the whole of the universe stood on hold for the whole of eternity, in utmost anticipation of what would happen next. All felt the enormous pain. But then, a mighty voice broke the ice-cold grave-silent silence.
"Earth shall be restored."
Tersely but with great power, the voice resounded.
Heaven had lost Earth due to the wickedness and evil of Lucifer. But yet still, Elohim had greater future plans for her. From that time on, the City of Zion, the Third Heaven was heavily guarded at different points by the sentries and Watchers under the ministry of protectors and by cherubs in a bid to totally prevent Lucifer or any of the fallen angels from ever returning into it of their own accord. 
Wisdom took hold of Cassie's hand after that and they saw themselves next in space, hovering just above the disfigured planet Earth.
"Look ahead," Wisdom told her.
They could immediately see something like a great wave of wind covering over the dark icy planet. And this went on for some moment.
"What's going on, Wisdom," Cassie asked.
"Remember Genesis 1:2?"
Cassie nodded.
"That's the Spirit hovering over the Earth."
The dense icy layer on the planet began melting speedily and water began coursing as the Spirit hovered over it, an enormous darkness pervading the whole space.
This was a place they'd been to before to witness the creation of the Earth with Choir of angels singing joyfully. Now they were back again to watch its restoration with the insurgence of evil purged away.
Cassie looked as the Spirit hovered over the waters for a restoration. No doubt, if a good restoration needed to take place to the Earth, the thick chambers of darkness needed to be expunged.
By the next breath, the voice of Elohim was resounding again. "Light be!"
In such utter darkness and confusion laden on the Earth and entire space, an effulgence of light from nowhere beamed outwards very brightly towards the Earth which was practically physical. Surprisingly, the light also beamed rays of illumination, knowledge and clarity that dissolved the intense darkness and confusion wrapped on the Earth. Cassie perceived this strongly.  The basis for Earth's recreation was settled.
"Where did that light appear from all of a sudden?" Came out Cassie's lips.
"The Word of Elohim caused that light to manifest."
"Wow!" Cassie breathed.
"Never forget, every word spoken by Elohim in all of eternity is always fulfilled by the Word Himself. That's His name. That's His role."
Cassie hummed reminiscing that.
"And He's ever being carrying them out with the Spirit's power."
"I understand, Wisdom."
The bright light kept on beaming on the Earth while the vast hovering of the Spirit continued also. Soon, the entire Earth was cocooned in a thick surge of power that penetrated deep into its mantles and core. The rotation of the Earth was triggered instantly. Again. Just like it had spun on its axis previously, it did so again. Darkness had permeated every of its feature. But now, its day and night timing was resuscitated.
The Earth was still submerged completely in watery depths though. After a complete rotation, the voice resounded again and immediately, a force sucked the waters down deep into the Earth itself and an enormous space secluding the clouds above appeared again —just like that! The Earth still appeared like a giant watery ball cumbered with gravity though.
By the next turn, the waters dispersed and gathered together, opening up for the dry land that had once been submerged to appear.
"It's all happening like magic," Cassie commented as she watched eagerly.
"It's all happening because of the power of word, rather." Wisdom retorted.
Just after that, trees and other different plantations began to spring up on the deserted land's face. The rest of the creation story continued with each stage accompanying a different phase of the Earth's rotation.
The plantations and animals resurfaced again from the Earth according to their kinds that had once been on the Earth, exactly. Mountains and valleys. Seas and lakes. Trees, birds and animals. Soon the whole Earth was filled again just like it had been—with beauty. At last, darkness and confusion was expunged and beauty returned into it.
"Next, the first humans were finally created—let me guess," Cassie said.
"Yeah. Pretty close. Elohim's heir which He'd always made preparations for and created to even be like Him in some degree was sent to manage the affairs of the new Earth realm.
"Lucifer displaced and subjected to shame one more time. His former office and earnest lust which had been the cause for his downfall was given freely to the heir. To man!"
Cassie shook her head with a feeling of ambivalence. "This made him mad right?"
"You shouldn't have expected anything else. Man was given the total dominion to rule the whole new Earth realm. With Eden as Headquartres, you could say and Elohim literally came to commune with him there at evenings and angels attended to him."
"This would have heightened Lucifer's rage."
"Sure it did. But realise the heir was Elohim's personal property and He loved him so much so He could do as He willed. He became a Lord for man," Wisdom said.
"So how exactly was Lucifer's plan like?" Cassie asked.
"See for yourself," Wisdom answered.
