Illustration to the Bible - Books Genesis first chapter - #CCC
Every morning when I wake up, I'm happy about it. I give thanks for this to the one who created me and everything that surrounds me. I do not believe that I am descended from a monkey, or in consequence of a big bang. In eastern Ukraine, there are now many explosions and an arsenal with ammunition is now exploding near Kiev, but nothing is created, it is only being destroyed.

I cannot call myself an exemplary Christian, I regret it and I pray to God for the strength to cope with my weaknesses, without His support I am very weak. I know that I could do more for God, but not always my desire is the same as mine. I read the Bible too little, there are always things that are more important.

One day I went to the trade kiosk, where they sold shawarma. There were three workers there. When I already wanted to make an order, they turned away from me, laid rugs under my feet, knelt and prayed. I ceased to exist for them. Neither profit, nor anything else could distract them from the worship of God. They prayed to the same God that created me. They were Muslims, I am a Christian, and they gave me an example that I remember all my life.

I thank God and them for this lesson. Abraham is our common ancestor, both Muslims and Christians. Abrahamโ€™s desire to please his wife caused Ishmael to be alone in the wilderness with God. The desert has severed us.

As a child I loved to draw. Now, when 50 years already seems like a near prospect, I decided to recall how this is done.

My heart was drawing Bible motifs. Maybe for someone the Word of God will become clearer when he looks at the pictures, then, I do it not for nothing.

Now I will tell you about my idea. Without the help of God, I will not be able to embody it, and I pray him for help in this matter.

I will begin with these lines, which speak of the Book of Genesis, of who God is.
They became the basis for the start of my work on the picture. No, it will be a series of drawings on one basis.

## For Example -
source - The Holy Bible - John 1

> 1 From the first he was the Word, and the Word was in relation with God and was God. <br>
2 This Word was from the first in relation with God. <br>
3 All things came into existence through him, and without him nothing was. <br>
4 What came into existence in him was life, and the life was the light of men. <br>
5 And the light goes on shining in the dark; it is not overcome by the dark. <br>

God from the small, creates something big, they talk about it all 6 days from Genesis, the first chapter.

## For Example -

source - The Holy Bible - Genesis Chpt. 1

> 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. <br>
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. <br>
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. <br>
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. <br>
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. <br>
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 
 <br>
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. <br>
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. <br>
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. <br>
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. <br>
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. <br>
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. <br>
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. <br>
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: <br>
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. <br>
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. <br>
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, <br>
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. <br>
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. <br>
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. <br>
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. <br>
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. <br>
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. <br>
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of  the earth after his kind: and it was so. <br>
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. <br>
26 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. <br>
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. <br>
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. <br>
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. <br>
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. <br>
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. <br>

I decided to go the same way, from small to large. My drawing skills leave much to be desired, and I need to learn again. I started with the basics.

Do you remember I showed how you can [draw a frame](https://steemit.com/drawing/@roninrelax/a-simple-template-for-those-who-have-a-lot-to-draw-and-draw) on a piece of paper? I took it as a basis.

![DSC02059.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXUzigkfzKpeU88FA9qHbcykwPRNWhvN3J8cqqCXubyTA/DSC02059.JPG)

The frame that you drew with your hand allows you to work with it in the future. It can be developed, decorated. I had no clear idea, I was walking in the wind like a ship in a drift. It turned out one thing, went further.
So our engineering frame began to turn into a frame for plots from the Bible.

ย I used only the blue ballpoint pen, which my son writes at school. I did not have another pen at hand. I did not make sketches. There are no traces of gum and pencil. The first Bibles were written by monks by hand, if they made a mistake, this Bible was burned. I decided to do the same. I will not give myself the right to make a mistake.

![DSC02090 (1).JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmegmwrsGtPajEhxajjvEriwV3v9tqnwyf7EY6MGKPiQ3e/DSC02090%20(1).JPG)

The Fall, the departure of the Jewish people from Egypt and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ became the foundation for this frame and a series of further drawings.

![DSC02092.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmerGeKpvDEjc4ZauWgwFk5uJCZt4hjZWajXd48hYnEu9p/DSC02092.JPG)

Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Roman warrior stabs Jesus with a spear under the rib.

![DSC02093 (1).JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZiYzk5uNjvWX8pzhtVM7zYNrmLKyFaZQJt3Rk3xah4oL/DSC02093%20(1).JPG)

Symbols of Egypt and Mount Sinai. The exit of the Jewish people from Egypt.
These are the foundations of Christianity that gave me inspiration.
This frame, as I said is the basis.

![DSC02094 (1).JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmceGgqzb57hDiEGxCyUwux511BEEt2wgBckYuiSi7Lq33/DSC02094%20(1).JPG)

Now I was able to prepare a thematic miniature. She will be part of the composition of two sheets. One will overlap the other. Maybe I will have to make the miniatures even smaller, they will fit into the frame better. The frame itself is on A4 format. Paper for printer. The miniature in A5 format is half the size of A4 sheet.

In this miniature, I wanted to show the character of God, His care for us, his hard work, patience and love for us.

In every moment I wanted to show the lines from Genesis, the first chapter.

![DSC02089 (1).JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUZjQ7oDTNeqkDeEghTKPjmkhQds2QyMensVDcgg6xZCr/DSC02089%20(1).JPG)

In the beginning was the Word, His Word, this is a two-edged sword, He pardons and punishes, He is my support and protection - in this plot.


![DSC02096 (1).JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQwN7RbqLmUPkgPz5dvn13PYAtk2z4q7iw3LywPQWuYG5/DSC02096%20(1).JPG)

He created the light and created the darkness, He created the firmament of the earth and water, He is the living water.

![DSC02097 (1).JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVkY98tvcEGpPDYD8jf5FaZrKQj8wrk54PBiM6fevLFEn/DSC02097%20(1).JPG)

He made man and gave him every grain for food.
He is like a potter, who creates a masterpiece from a piece of shapeless clay. His work can be watched and admired forever!

![DSC02098 (1).JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRwrFiQFdExPW84GvYo7LB9WSs7evz97L4DPfPrcYD2BB/DSC02098%20(1).JPG)

This is my idea. A smaller sheet is superimposed on a larger one.
I understand that this is not a masterpiece. I am still very far from mastering the technique of drawing, but, this is the time that I could give to God, and did not spend it on vanity.
I'm happy!

> I do not believe that I am descended from a monkey, or in consequence of a big bang.

I became a Christian on a life-long journey over 50 years ago. I am a scientist, an engineer, and worked with mathematics and logic for over 30 years. Some might know that only mathematics and logic can be proven - not science or scientific theory which can only be validated IF it can be replicated.

Evolution and big-bang are both scientific theories and neither can or will be validated let alone proven. 

So, as my credentials stated, I would not even give them the "time of day" so to speak and would simply state my belief - we were created by the Almighty God.

Wow, look at that.  @celinavisaez is quick to feature the new @ccc member on her [post](https://steemit.com/payitforward/@celinavisaez/semana-28-concurso-de-curacion-pay-it-forward) which is an entry to the [Pay It Forward Curation Contest](https://steemit.com/payitforward/@pifc/week-28-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-078b81c690f5cest).  The contest is open to everyone so you are welcome to join.

I am overwhelmed by your drawings that I have upvoted your post and about to finish this comment but the photos have loaded only 75% of each.  Or maybe it is my laptop that is so slow?  &#128522; Kidding aside, the photos have loaded okay.  It just took longer. You are good at drawing! Imagine drawing from thin air without sketches or anything in preparation? You just did...
>I do not believe that I am descended from a monkey

That made me laugh, literally.  I listened to few interviews of people who claim to be agnostic and they can not explain their existence.  I wonder how people can hold on to a belief that they can not reason out for.

> I ceased to exist for them. Neither profit, nor anything else could distract them from the worship of God. 

I can not find any word to describe people like them. Their faith is non-negotiable and they have all my respect in that regard.
This is my first time to come across drawings depicting Bible verses.  That is very good of you to put the verses into drawing as sometimes messages are better conveyed through photos or graphic representations.  

Keep spreading the words of God through your drawings!

It's sad to see what's happening to your country. But remember that wars are NEVER about God. Wars are ALWAYS about G.O.D. (Gold, Oil & Diamonds)

The war in Ukraine is not about "Christians vs Muslims" or "Ukranians vs Russians." It's about a few rich criminals who want to take control of the Resources of the Land. Resources such as Natural Gas.

I don't want to discuss politics in this website, though. I think I've already said enough. I said too much.

PS: I've found your post because @celinavisaez featured it in [her entry for the Pay It Forward Contest](https://busy.org/@celinavisaez/semana-28-concurso-de-curacion-pay-it-forward)

Beautiful work! I love hearing how you arrived in this place as well. Very emotive. Thanks for sharing. 

As was said before, even when you are quoting the Bible, you need to source the material. I tend to always quote KJV for the simple reason that it's in the public domain. More modern translations tend to be copyrighted for some time to come...

i found you today because of @celinavisaez's entry to the Pay it Forward Curation contest. Keep up the great work!
