Man perceived the magnitude and glory of the corporeal worlds. He said, How shall I<br \/>\nspeak of Thy great works, O Jehovih, and of Thy wisdom and power! Shall I open my<br \/>\nmouth before Thee! I look upon Thy countless stars, suns and moons, spread out over the<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">heavens! The millions of years Thou hast rolled them on in the never-ending firmament!<br \/>\nProcessions in and out, and round about, of mighty worlds! By Thy breath going forth!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. O Thou, All Highest! How shall I hide my insignificance! I cannot create the smallest<br \/>\nthing alive! Nay, nor change the color of a hair on my head. What am I, that Thou has<br \/>\nseen me?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Tell me, O my Creator, whence came life? This unseen within me that is conscious of<br \/>\nbeing? Tell me how all the living came into life.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Jehovih heard the words of man and He answered him saying: Let a sign be given to<br \/>\nman that he may comprehend se&#8217;mu. Thereupon Jehovih caused the jelly fish and the<br \/>\ngreen scum of water to be permanently coming forth in all ages, that man might<br \/>\nunderstand the age of se&#8217;mu, when the earth and the shores by the water, and the waters<br \/>\nalso, were covered over with commingled atmosphere and corporeal substance. And this<br \/>\nsubstance was called se&#8217;mu, because by Jehovih&#8217;s presence quickened He it into life, and<br \/>\nthus made He all the living, both the vegetable and animal worlds. Not that se&#8217;mu is jellyfish or the green scum of water; for the earth in this day produceth not se&#8217;mu abundantly; nevertheless the jelly-fish and the green scum of water are signs of that which was in that<br \/>\nday of the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Jehovih said: Because of My presence quickened I into life all that live, or ever have<br \/>\nlived.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Because I am male and female, even in my likeness, thus made I them. Because I am<br \/>\nthe power to quicken into life, so, in likeness of Me thus, made I them, and with power to<br \/>\nbring forth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. According to their respective places created I the living; not in pairs only, but in<br \/>\nhundreds of pairs and thousands, and in millions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. According to their respective places and the light upon se&#8217;mu, so quickened I them in<br \/>\ntheir color, adapted to their dwelling places.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Each and every living thing created I new upon the earth, of a kind each to itself; and<br \/>\nnot one living thing created I out of another.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Let a sign be upon the earth, that man in his darkness may not believe that one animal<br \/>\nchangeth and becometh another.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Thereupon Jehovih gave permission for different animals to bring forth a new living<br \/>\nanimal, which should be unlike either its mother or father, but he caused the new product<br \/>\nto be barren.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Jehovih said: And this shall be testimony before all men that I created each and all the<br \/>\nliving, after their own kind only.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Such is My person and My spirit, being from everlasting to everlasting; and when I<br \/>\nbring a new world into the time of se&#8217;mu, lo and behold my presence quickeneth<br \/>\nthe substance into life; according to the locality and the surroundings, so do I bring<br \/>\nforth the different species; for they are flesh of My flesh and spirit of My spirit.<br \/>\nTo themselves give I themselves; nevertheless, they are all members of My Person.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. As a testimony to man, behold the earth was once a globe of liquid fire! Nor was there<br \/>\nany seed thereon. But in due season I rained down se&#8217;mu on the earth; and by virtue of my<br \/>\npresence quickened I into life all the living. Without seed created I the life that is in them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-848\" src=\"http:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/01\/Plate-6-Semuan-Firmament-300x294.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/01\/Plate-6-Semuan-Firmament-300x294.jpg 300w, https:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/01\/Plate-6-Semuan-Firmament-276x270.jpg 276w, https:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/01\/Plate-6-Semuan-Firmament-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/01\/Plate-6-Semuan-Firmament-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/01\/Plate-6-Semuan-Firmament.jpg 487w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Plate 6.
