Re: Let Us Make Man: The Revelation

One of my pastors, F.E. Curts, taught that the days of creation were 7,000 years each. At the time I was attending that assembly (late nineteen fifties and early nineteen sixties) he taught that we were in the 6th creative day and that when God said, "Let us make man" He was talking to the church. He said we would not be in the image and likeness of God until the resurrection (Psalm 17:15, Philippians 3:20-21; 1 John 3:2; 1 Corinthians 15:49), and that God had chosen the church (called "us" in Ephesians 1:4) before the foundation of the world to work with Him. He died in 1969 so did not get to see the dawn of the last thousand years (millennium) of the 6th day (2000-3000 AD).

Some teach that Genesis 1:26-28 was spoken by YHWH to Noah and his family as they departed the ark into the new world. YHWH encouraged them to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth, populating it with folks made in the image of God and man.

Others, such as the late Nathaniel Urshan taught that God was speaking to the angels in Genesis 1:26.

This is the passage from the Jonathan Targum with a variant reading from the Jerusalsem Targum.
