Basically, the answer to this question is so clear from the scripture, and so simple, that most people will walk right by it and completely ignore it, simply because it does not fit the mythical narrative that they have been taught all their lives by Rome’s Catholic and Protestant religions.
Let’s look at Genesis 1:26,27:
“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.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.“
(Verse 26 – God speaking words to his Son…verse 27 – God creating man by himself)
So, man was no longer in the image of God, but rather in the image of Adam, who brought death upon all men (Romans 5:12).
Many times, throughout the OT scriptures, we read of words that God spoke concerning his Son, Jesus Christ, before he was born.
“The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
Psalm 110:1-4
“I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.“
Psalm 2:7,8
“And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.
And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.“
Isaiah 49:5,6
“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.”
Zechariah 9:9
And, our Lord Jesus said to his disciples after his resurrection:
“These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.”
The gospel
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.”
So, as it was spoken from the beginning, God Almighty, and his Son Jesus Christ, made man in their image by the new testament gospel.
“That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.”John 17:21
That is the prophecy of Genesis 1:26.
He that hath an ear to hear, let him hear.Amen.
