In the beginning, after Elohiym (erroneously rendered as God in most English versions of scripture) had created the skies and the earth, Yahuwah created man in His own image. He then gave into man's hand the responsibility to use and safeguard the other parts of His creation. He even provided a paradise (Greek for park) for man to stay in. From the description we have of it, this paradise (or Eden) must have been a most pleasant environment.

As He knew we would, instead of using, we have abused. Instead of safeguarding, we have misused it to our own selfish purposes. He told us to subdue it, we have destroyed it. We have been able to do this because when He created us in His image, and part of that image was self determination. In other words, He gave us freewill to go with the breath of life. Our continual abuse of that freewill has caused all the problems that our forefathers faced, that we face daily, and that our descendants will face, if it be His will to leave this earth here long enough for us to have descendants.

When Yahuwah created the things of matter that we as material beings can detect, and the things that we cannot, He did it with a very orderly plan. The outcome of the plan was known by Him and He chose to reveal it to those who He wanted to know through His prophets. At His direction, these prophets wrote the plan down for those of us who would seek His truth later on.

Believers and non-believers alike can see this pattern woven throughout the fabric of matter. The Scriptures describe the pattern and also describe what the result of the misuse and abuse is to be.

This pattern started off in the "macro" stage, meaning it was large and general, and as time has gone by, it has been refined, fine tuned, and refined some more, until it is nearing its final stages today, in this the 21st century CE. The absolute final stage of it is absolute perfection of all parts of His creation. The perfection that we think of when we think of our Master and Savior Yahushua haMashiach.

He too, is part of the pattern. It is His part to show us how to overcome just as He overcame and to reach that perfection that Yahuwah the Father requires of us. As we learn through Yahushua how to fit into His body, we misuse our gifts less and less and become nearer to the perfect creature that will be allowed to reside in the Paradise of Yahuwah that awaits those who overcome.

Looking at the pattern that Yahuwah has laid out is something like looking in a mirror that faces another mirror. The same scene, or pattern that you are standing in, is reflected an infinite number of times down to sizes too small for the human eye to discern. Look around and you will see it too. One aspect of this pattern has been named lately by the mathematical society whose member described it. These gentlemen call it "Fractal Geometry," because of the infinitely repeated shapes that comprise it. Looking at it from one aspect only, it has the appearance of chaos. It is only when viewed in the Macro sense that the infinite perfection of the pattern is seen. One way to look at it is by observing edges of apparently random shapes, such as the coastline of a continent. When this is done, the randomness disappears, and the repetitive nature of the edge will become apparent. It is really quite fascinating to think about.

Yahuwah's creation was and is perfect and through the free will that He has given us has allowed us to almost destroy our part of it. He is perfect and therefore expects perfection from us also as part of His creation. We have no choice then except to become perfect if we desire to reside with Him.
