Another thing, look back and ahead of me. Creation in this world is a creation in the next world. There is no need to create them again for the resurrection of the dead, for two creations have already been created for them. Thus the Almighty thought and formed Adam and Eve, who were thrown before Him like a lump.
As it is said, "Your eyes saw my unformed substance" (Psalms 139:16). What is this in your book? From the day that the Almighty created the first man, He wrote in His book what He will produce from him until the dead are resurrected. And so He calls before Him each generation and its seekers, providers, wise men, prophets, scribes, and disciples, until the dead are resurrected.
And thus it is said, "This is the book of the generations of Adam" (Genesis 5:1). And so Isaiah said, "The Lord called me from the womb, from the body of my mother He mentioned my name" (Isaiah 49:1). And so it is said, "Who has performed and accomplished it, calling forth the generations from the beginning?" (Isaiah 41:4). He meant from the first man.
