The concept of creatures is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, reflecting God's creative power, sovereignty, and the order of creation. Creation of Creatures The account of creation in Genesis provides the foundational understanding of creatures. On the fifth and sixth days of creation, God created living creatures to inhabit the earth, seas, and skies. <a href="/genesis/1-20.htm">Genesis 1:20-25</a> states: "And God said, 'Let the waters teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of the sky.' So God created the great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters teemed, according to their kinds, and every bird of flight according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, 'Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.' And it was so." Hierarchy and Dominion Humans, created in the image of God, are given a unique role among creatures. <a href="/genesis/1-26.htm">Genesis 1:26-28</a> describes this special status: "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.' So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth.'" This dominion implies stewardship and responsibility, reflecting God's order and care for creation. Creatures in the Psalms and Prophets The Psalms and prophetic books often reflect on the majesty and diversity of God's creatures, emphasizing His providence and care. <a href="/psalms/104-24.htm">Psalm 104:24-25</a> declares: "How many are Your works, O LORD! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures. Here is the sea, vast and wide, teeming with creatures beyond number, living things both great and small." The prophets also use creatures symbolically to convey messages from God. For example, in <a href="/isaiah/11-6.htm">Isaiah 11:6-9</a> , the peaceful coexistence of creatures symbolizes the coming Messianic age: "The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and young lion and fattened steer will be together, and a little child will lead them." Creatures in the New Testament In the New Testament, creatures continue to play significant roles in illustrating spiritual truths. Jesus uses creatures in His teachings, such as in <a href="/matthew/6-26.htm">Matthew 6:26</a> : "Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" The Apostle Paul also speaks of creation in <a href="/romans/8-19.htm">Romans 8:19-22</a> , where he describes the eager expectation of creation for the revelation of the children of God: "The creation waits in eager expectation for the revelation of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God." Symbolism and Apocalyptic Imagery In apocalyptic literature, creatures often symbolize spiritual realities and cosmic events. The Book of Revelation is replete with imagery of creatures, such as the four living creatures around the throne of God (<a href="/revelation/4-6.htm">Revelation 4:6-8</a>): "In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, covered with eyes in front and back. The first creature was like a lion, the second was like a calf, the third had a face like a man, and the fourth was like an eagle in flight." These creatures, among others in Revelation, serve to convey the majesty, holiness, and sovereignty of God in the unfolding of His divine plan. Conclusion The biblical portrayal of creatures underscores the diversity and complexity of God's creation, the responsibility of humanity as stewards, and the ultimate redemption and restoration of all creation through God's redemptive work.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1724.htm">1724. enalios -- in or of the sea, ie marine creatures</a> ... in or of the sea, ie marine creatures.
