170 DAY OF THE LORD Because of Adam’s sin, the nature of the earth became corrupted, instead of bringing up “every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food” (Gen 2:9) it started to bring up thorns and thistles. The nature of the animals too became fallen. God created all the animals tame and under the authority of Adam and Eve: 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. (Gen 1:26-27) Man was created in God’s image of authority, that’s why we say in the liturgy of St. Gregory, “Thou hast inscribed in me the image of Thine Authority.” God gave Adam the honour of naming all the creatures, and by doing so, God has established Adam’s authority over all other creatures, for he that names another is greater than he who receives the name. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field. (Gen 2:19-20) But when Adam fell, he lost this authority over other creatures. In Genesis 37:20 we learn that beasts can devour a man: Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams. You see, even the beasts became evil after the fall of Adam. But, in the restoration of the seed of Adam, the earth that has been cursed will also be restored with all the creatures on it. Here is what St. Paul tells us in Romans 8:19-23:
DAY OF THE LORD 171 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. What this means is that even as we are groaning within ourselves awaiting for that restoration of our nature to incorruptibility, the whole creation is also groaning and waiting with us for this restoration, because once we are restored to incorruptibility, they too will be “delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.” Then the wolf shall co-exist with the lamb, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. THE LAKE OF FIRE: If God’s elect will live happily ever after in the heavenly Jerusalem, the wicked and the unbelievers will be eternally tormented in the lake of fire. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. (Isa 66:24) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Rev 21:8) THE DAY WILL COME SUDDENLY: All these things will happen suddenly and unexpectedly, that is why we should watch and be sober and prepare ourselves for that day, hoping to stand on the right hand of the Lord, so that we may enjoy the delights of the heavenly Jerusalem.
