1.2. The Creation of Man; the Garden of Paradise

Oh, I long after My love in man and My longing is long and hard. I am the One Who built the man out of My love to make him then the house of My love and to have rest in him, for love is hard and it needs rest. Before the man was, My love was, the love from God, and I made the man out of it, and then I made him out of dust in order to be the house of My love and so that I may look at it and have rest in it then from the hardship of My love, for God is big and He needs rest.

I am Who I am and I am the One Who does, and I did and I do everything out of love, for I am love, and My wound has been deep after I made the man, for I have not been able to rest with My love in him. I made him to have rest with My great and hard love and to look at it face to face with it, and I said that it was well, and since then I have been only sufferance. I was speaking the word of creation and then I was looking and seeing that it was good and then I looked over everything I made, and the heaven, the earth and their whole armies were very good, and on the seventh day I rested from all the creation that I made. The man knew only the good, as this is what I meant for him and in this way I loved him so much, and I wanted that he might not know the evil, and that the evil might not know the man either, and that is why I told him to keep away from evil and to work the good, to be happy and to be immortal. Only the one who knows evil, only that one is mortal, because I told Adam: «You shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die». (Gen: 2/17)

I made the man in My image for I and My Father said: «Let Us make man in Our image, after Our Likeness, and let him have dominion over everything; and God created the man in His own image; in God’s image He created him; male and female He created them». (Gen. 1:26, 27)

When I created the man I made him male and female and I spoke to them to be in God’s image. Oh, God humbled Himself so much when He made the man and He created him in His image and the man has owed God to be after God’s likeness and to be a house for the Lord, for I have built him in order to be My house and then to confess Me and not himself.
