The words his and their mean he has a kind. I can't think of a better word. He comes from a family or society. Idk how to put this. It is really hard to understand this. But i have been told its the trinity. I honestly don't know what to believe. It also never says he makes the angels so theye are a part if his civilization or family. They have a history.
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.
That seems to be straight forward. He made beast like beast are ie after their kind etc. He made them all like they are and or could have been if we had to stay in the Garden of Eden; and in regard to angels; He made the Heaven and earth; and Angels are a product of Heaven. We are a product of earth, that was given a living soul.
Shannon, that verse in Gen 1 can sound tricky unless you see how the pronouns are used. 'Beast' is written in the singular, thus the use of 'his kind', or its species. 'Cattle' is in plural, therefore using 'their kind; and so with 'every creeping thing' is in the singular. There is no reference or even inference that the Trinity is seen in this verse. That is altogether a false interpretation of the Scripture.
Re: your comment on Angels. Well, in Nehemiah 9:6, we read: "Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee." This of course tells us that God created all things & also the "host of Heaven". This "host", or inhabitants, would include the angels, seraphim, cherubim, & other heavenly beings. They may have been created at some point before God's creative Work was completed ( Genesis 2:1 "...all the host of them (were finished))". Satan himself was a created being, a Cherub ( Ezekiel 28:13-16): the King of Tyrus is spoken of in these verses but vv 13 & 15 indicate this was not a mere human but a reference to Satan. It speaks about God creating him & he was perfect until iniquity was found in him & thus banished from God's presence.
So, that should give you a quick explanation to your questions.
Hi Tom, thanks for your question & as you can imagine, different folk have their own interpretations on this chapter in Daniel 9. As well, I'm unsure whether you have grasped the whole context of the chapter in relation to Daniel & his encounter with the angel Gabriel & the vision. So, if I could briefly state here:
Daniel was aware of the prophet Jeremiah's prophecy on the coming desolation of Jerusalem ( Jer 25:11-12, 29:10-14) & Israel's return to Palestine. But there would be a time in the future when Jerusalem would be rebuilt, the Messiah would come & give His Life as prophesied, & after that (under Roman rule), in AD 70, Titus, the Emperor, would march into Jerusalem & destroy it & the Temple.
So verse 26, directly refers to this time of the destruction of Jerusalem, when "the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood (not water, but the appearance of a flood of warriors), and unto the end of the war (Jewish-Roman wars of AD 66 - 135), desolations are determined."
However, this reference to Titus & his army has its anti-type in the future Anti-Christ (possibly out of a rebuilt Roman Empire), as verse 27 implies (giving a description of Anti-Christ's behaviour with the Jews & his desecration of the rebuilt Temple). I have written briefly here, mindful that there are various interpretations to this passage from others who are better studied than me, & as well, I've not given the meaning & breakdown of the "weeks" of time mentioned in this passage as you may well be familiar with their meaning. I hope this helps in your understanding.
Thoughts???
