The Hidden Part Of Creation
Does not wisdom call? Does not understanding raise her voice? On the heights beside the way, at the crossroads she takes her stand; beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud: “To you, O men, I call, and my cry is to the children of man. O simple ones, learn prudence; O fools, learn sense. ... (Proverbs 8:1-36).
For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now (“Romans 8:22).
We also know as it is written in the scripture: Genesis 6:1-8:22, that
When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ... And in Romans 1:18-22
it is written that the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. Although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools”.
Whether the above makes sense to you or not, let us first defined the word "hidden". In brevity, the dictionary meaning of the word hidden is
to conceal from sight; prevent from being seen or discovered;
to obstruct the view of; cover up; to conceal from knowledge or exposure; keep secret.
Now that we have an idea of the word “hidden”, let us also find out what the word “creation” means.
From the Greek root kreas, this means flesh.
It means when something new is made.
Biblically, when producing something from nothing.
The divine act by which, according to various religious and philosophical traditions, the world was brought into existence.
Now I want to crave your indulgence, the purpose of this write up is to give knowledge. An elevated knowledge from on high to be precise!
In view of the above definition therefore, the hidden part of creation is that part of creation or the intention behind creation that has been made secret; covered up or concealed from knowledge or exposure of how something from nothing is brought into existence.
If this be true, then ask yourself, why SECRECY about CREATION? Judge and deduce for your self as you read on.
Welcome on board “The KNOWLEDGE of WISDOM”.
Why CREATION?
First, I want you to have an open mind to read this carefully. If you have a comment, clarifications or criticism you may forward later, but meanwhile hear what the "spirit says... he who have ears let him hear... he who have eyes let him see, he who have an understanding mind let him comprehend!
Now here what the scripture says…
God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. ...
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation. These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens. When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, ...( Genesis 2:1-25)
Notice something from the above passage. Did you see any description of how God was creating or what instrument he was using? We were not told what he was using to create, but that he created. Whether he was using hand to create or using man power or out sourcing we were not told. But notice something, before he gave a command to bring meaning or light into the unformed creation, there was a relationship between his spirit and the water. … And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. In other words he could not have done anything thing without the operational power of the Holy Spirit. In other words a command not empowered by the spirit will not work. He was sure of the presence of the Holy Spirit’s operation before he gave his command and said “let there be light” and there became light instantly.

This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created. When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters.
