Created After His Likeness
HEADLINE:
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let
them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and
over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth.

No man has seen God. If you do see God, you cannot exist as
a human being on earth. Enoch saw God as He appears in glory and Enoch was
taken away to Heaven. First of all, God is TOO BIG to be seen by anyone because
He is ALL and in ALL. The universe, the galaxies and star systems are all
WITHIN HIM and part of Him. We cannot comprehend such greatness and splendor
with our small minds. Indeed the following is written.
1Kings 8:27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold,
the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house
that I have builded?
Isaiah 66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and
the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where
is the place of my rest?
From Secrets XXIV:3-5 are these Words, "Hear, Enoch,
and take in these my Words, for not to my angels have I told my secret, and I
have not told them their rise, nor my endless realm, nor have they understood
my creating, which I tell thee today. For before all things were visible, I
alone used to go about in the invisible things, like the sun from east to west,
and from west to east. But even the sun has peace in itself, while I found no
peace, because I was creating all things, and I conceived the idea of placing
foundations, and of creating visible creations." And even though He has
revealed to me more of who He is, the words of the angel to Hermas are set
aglow in my mind: "First of all believe that there is One God who created
and framed all things from nothing into a being. He comprehends all things and
is only immense, NOT TO BE COMPREHENDED BY ANY. Who can neither be defined by
any words, nor conceived by the mind," II Hermas I:1-3. You will see where
I am when we add the words of God to John from Acts of John in the New
Testament Apocrypha by Hennecke, section 101, "But what I am is known to
me alone, and no one else. Let me have what is mine; what is yours you must see
through me; but me you must see truly not that which I am, (as) I said, but
that which you as (my) kinsman, are able to know...You must know me as, then,
as the torment of the Logos, the piercing of the Logos, the blood of the Logos,
the wounding of the Logos, the fastening of the Logos, the death of the Logos.
God is the foundation and support of everything that He is.
Here is how Enoch saw God when he was presented before Him.
Secrets of Enoch 22:1 On the tenth Heaven, Aravoth, I saw
the appearance of the Lord's face, like iron made to glow in fire, and brought
out, emitting sparks, and it burns. Thus I saw the Lord's face, but the Lord's
face is ineffable, marvellous and very awful, and very, very terrible. 2 And
who am I to tell of the Lord's unspeakable being, and of his very wonderful
face? and I cannot tell the quantity of his many instructions, and various
voices, the Lord's throne very great and not made with hands, nor the quantity
of those standing round him, troops of cherubim and 3 seraphim, nor their
incessant singing, nor his immutable beauty, and who shall tell of the
ineffable greatness of his glory? 4 And I fell prone and bowed down to the
Lord,
Psalm 84:11 For
the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory:
no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Genesis 37:9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it
his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the
sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
In this part of Joseph’s dream the sun symbolized his father and the moon represents his
mother. The point in all this is the GREAT LIGHT we call the sun is the symbol of Father-God and the moon is an
allegory representing Mother Zion. Together they made man “in our image and
after our likeness”. What we will discuss at this time is the image of the
sun-son.
Check out this NASA photo of the sun:

A NASA photo of our sun is similar to what Enoch saw when he
was brought to stand before God and hear God speak. This frightened him because
the sight was terrible to behold. God calmed his fears and then gave him new
marching orders. NASA and the Hubble Space Telescope have taken photos of the
sun and it looks just like what Enoch saw as the appearance of God’s face. The
sun’s electro-magnetic fields rise in gigantic loops all around it and to us on
earth it is what we call the corona or crown of the sun. Every now and then
giant prominences of intense radiation leap from the sun into space. These are
called solar flares. Now look at the king of beasts, the lion.
Look at this picture of the king of beasts: http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-110440262/stock-photo-lion.html?src=same_artist-111222029-8
You will notice that the lion’s mane and beard form a circle
of hair. This is the same way rays of sunlight project in 360 degrees around
the sun. How does this relate to man if “we are created after His likeness”?
The truth is that the human spirit is created in the exact
likeness of our Father, God. We cannot see what the human spirit looks like
because it is cloaked in flesh and blood. Jewish boys who are dedicated to God
at birth are called Nazarites. They could not shave their heads, trim their
sideburns, or shave their beards as long as they lived. I know you have seen
pictures of mountain men with long hair, sideburns and beards and hair all over
their heads. They have hair going everywhere just like the male lion. That is
the closest approximation in flesh and blood to the way God looks. Those rays
and beams of sunlight become human hair, sideburns and beards. A wild-man look
would frighten people. Furthermore wives and human females do not like that! So
in human cultures, we cut and comb our hair and shave and trim our facial hair
and beards. Now if you put the lion near a charged and strong magnetic field,
it’s hair would stand out like the rays of the sun in 360 degrees. So our human
glory is tamped down, while we exist as men. You can only see us as the
glorious “stars” that we are, when you are reaped from the earth and rise up as
a redeemed spirit into Heaven. When you go Home, you will see that “we all look
like God”. But if you want to see what God looks like while you reside in human
flesh, just take a look in the mirror or check out your neighbor or a friend.
Ode of Solomon 8:14 Love me with affection, ye who love! 15
For I do not turn away my face from them that are mine; 16 For I know them and
before they came into being I took knowledge of them, and on their faces I set my seal:
Psalm 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's
womb. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance
was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the
lowest parts of the earth. 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being
unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance
were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
Secrets of Enoch 44:1 The
Lord with his hands having created man, in the likeness of his own face,
the Lord made him small and great. Whoever reviles the ruler's face, and abhors
the Lord's face, has despised 2 the Lord's face
2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God
with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell
in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my
people.
Revelation 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the
east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the
four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying, Hurt
not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants
of our God in their foreheads.
Now recall what God told Enoch about the understanding of
His angels at that time: From Secrets XXIV:3-5 are these Words, "Hear,
Enoch, and take in these my Words, for
not to my angels have I told my secret, and I have not told them their rise,
nor my endless realm, nor have they understood my creating, which I
tell thee today In the Revelation text
they desire to seal the servants of God in their foreheads”. At this point in time they realize that GOD
DID THAT WORK at the beginning, and when He molds each human body in its
mother’s womb. It is simply THE HUMAN
FACE, an imposed and raised imprint of the glory of the Creator. Your face is your SEAL!

Hebrews 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying,
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou
visitest him? 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst
him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
Those raised and molded facial features are the SEAL OF THE
CREATOR!
Glorify God!
God did it!
