The Creation

Sunset Shimmer was fast asleep as the relaxing bible story audio went on. She was relaxed and calm in her sleep, until...

“Sunset Shimmer.”

Sunset opened her eyes in shock as she heard that mysterious echoing voice.

“Sunset Shimmer.” The voice called again

“Who’s there?” Sunset called.

She looked around, and there was no one but Faith Rose sleeping on her bed.

“Sunset Shimmer.”

Suddenly, a shine of light of appeared in front of her, revealing to be a shining figure with the brightest white robe and his face not shown because of the light blocking it.

Who...who are you?” Sunset asked, with shocked expression.

“I am Jesus, the one who Faith Rose told you about.” The figure answered.

Sunset couldn’t believe what she’s hearing, or seeing. She’s actually seeing the God who Faith Rose said would help her, the God who gives peace, hope, and salvation.

“What do you want from me?” Sunset asked, feeling confused.

“Do you doubt me? You not believe who I am.” Jesus asked

“No! I never said that! I said I just needed time to think things through before I let you even help me.” Sunset responded.

“The enemy is blocking you from excepting me as your savior.” Jesus said.

Sunset was confused.

“The enemy?”

“I can feel the pain your going through, Sunset. I can feel the suffering in your heart.” Jesus said with comforting voice.

“Yeah well, nothing is every gonna get better. Everything will just keep coming back and things will get worse.” Sunset mumbled, crossing her arms.

“Not if you believe.” Jesus replied

“Believe what?” Sunset asked.

Jesus reached out his hand for Sunset Shimmer to take.

“Take my hand, Sunset Shimmer, and I will show you the way.” Jesus offered.

Sunset was confused, but she slowly reached out her hand reaching to Jesus’ hand. And finally as she took his hand, everything went black, and Sunset got scared.

“What’s going on? Who turned out the light?” Sunset asked, feeling scared.

Then Jesus’ voice spoke out.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters"

Sunset got even more confused, but she was about see what is to come.

“Then God said, ‘Let there be light”

Suddenly, a great big light shined out of nowhere.

“and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day”

As they moved on, Sunset saw waters form.

“Then God said, ‘Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.’ Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day”

After that, Sunset felt dirt on her feet.

“Then God said, ‘Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good”

Sunset learned about the Big Bang theory back at Canterlot High, but was this the real reason the earth was created? Was it God who really created this world.

“Then God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”

Sunset felt grass grow on her feet. Then she saw trees, bushes, shrubs, flowers and fruits grow around.

“And it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the third day”

They then move on to outer space. How can Sunset even breathe in space?

“Then God said, ‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on. the earth.”

Then she saw the sun, the moon, and the stars appear.

“And it was so. Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the fourth day”

Then they went back to the earth to observe what was to come next.

“Then God said, ‘Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.”

She saw different kinds of birds in the sky fly by. Then as she experienced under the ocean, she saw many different kinds of sea animals swimming in their distance.

“So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.”

“You created...all of this?” Sunset asked. But story continued on.

“And God blessed them, saying, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.’ So the evening and the morning were the fifth day”

And finally they return to land to discover the next creation they were hoping to be.

“Then God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”

Then came the greatest land animals. Some that walk, some that stomp, some that gallop, and some that creep. But there was one more thing Sunset has to see, the one thing she needs to see created...a human being.

“Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

Then she saw God come down to earth and began to start his last job. God took dirt sculpted it into a man, who he called, Adam. When he was done, the final step he did was breathe his life into Adam, and then...he came to life.

Sunset was shocked to see that that’s where humans came from, dirt.

The Lord showed Sunset Shimmer all the works that Adam has requested him to do, name the foods on the trees and bushes, the trees, including the animals.

And then later, God told Adam to take a long rest and Adam did what he was told. At last Adam fell into a deep sleep, and during that, God took one of Adams ribs and closed up the flesh. God then crafted the rib into the most beautiful thing he has created after man...a Woman!

Adam woke up the next morning, and saw the woman that God made for him. Adam made the woman, Eve.

“Wow! So I guess man and woman are what God wanted.” Sunset said in relief

“Yes, but all this beauty and perfectness will not stay for long.” The Lord replied “Let me take you to a place that was created before earth.”

They went all the way up to the sky to a place that was created before the earth...Heaven! At last, they arrived at a place with a golden city with a long rainbow. Sunset looked surprised in shock.

“Oh...My...Goodness! It’s so beautiful!” Sunset drooled.

“Yes it is, but there’s a war now between good and evil.” The Lord reasoned.

They traveled all the way to the area where the battle between angels and fallen angels. Sunset was horrified at all the violence happening in heaven. Then, angel named, Michael was clashing swords with the angel who was once God’s chosen one and who once had wisdom...Lucifer!

When Lucifer was finally defeated, it was time for his exile. The lord said these words to him.

“Your heart is lifted up because of your beauty, you have corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your brightness, I cast you into the ground!”

And with that, Lucifer fell as long as it took until he finally reached the ground. He then fell into a fiery pit which burned him and rotted his beauty. Suddenly he came out of the fiery pit, except he was like an angel, he was an ugly, creepy looking creature with a dark robe...Satan.

Sunset looked horrified at what she saw, which brought back the memory of herself as a she-demon.

They blank back to the Garden of Eden which God created.

“Wait a minute, why did God exile that angel from heaven?” Sunset asked “Why did he turn into something ugly?”

“Because darkness grew in his heart.” The Lord answered. “Because of his beauty and brightness, he thought he could be like God. But’s it’s not over yet.”

She see’s Satan walking through the garden, scoffing with greed.

“All this, wasted for man. All this, splendid for his kind! ” He grunted

Then he turned to the human beings God created, Adam and Eve.

“There are his own creations, those beings use for his glory.” Then an idea came to him. “But what if...what if I can show the almighty that man is not worthy of his doing? What if I can get his own creations to turn against him? just as he turned against me!” An evil smirk came unto his face. “Then, God will see man is not worthy of all creation and he will regret that he made these vial beings!”

He then see these two trees God said to eat from and to not eat from, the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of god and evil.

“What if I can show man the difference between good and evil?” Satan smiled. He then found a serpent and decided to possess it for it’s own kind. So, he enter it and creeped up on the tree of the knowledge of god and evil.

Eve was close to the two trees, when suddenly...

“Eve”

Eve was startled.

“Who’s there?”

The voice called again.

“Eve”

Eve then walked to the tree which the Lord commanded them to not eat from. She then saw the serpent, She was shocked to see it talk.

“Did God really say, You must not eat from any tree in the garden?” The Serpent asked

“We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden.” Eve answered “Except for the tree in the middle of the garden. God warned us not to touch or eat from it, and if we do...we will die.”

The Serpent laughed with a hiss. “Did God really say that? You most certainly will not die. God doesn’t want you to eat from it, because he know that if you eat from it, your eyes will open...and you will be like him! Knowing good and evil.”

Eve’s faith in God quickly fated, she picked a fruit from the tree. Sunset was shocked to see the woman who is about disobey God. So she quickly ran to her.

“NO! DON’T DO IT! DON’T EAT IT!” Sunset cried out.

Too late, Eve took a bit out of the fruit. Sunset then sees a vision all the horrible and awful things people do in her time. The whole reason dramatic things happen in the world was because God’s first creations disobeyed him.

Then Adam came to Eve. Eve showed Adam the fruit.

“The serpent was right all along, the fruit is the best one in the world!”

He gave it to Adam, his faith fated away too. Then he ate it. Sunset saw another vision of all the disastrous things that people do in her time.

Adam and Eve realized what they did. They also realized they were naked, so the used leaves us clothes. The a bright light shined from the sky.

“Adam, Eve, where are you?” God called

‘We’re here.” Adam answered “And I hid from you because I was naked.”

“Who told you you were naked? Have you eaten from of the tree which I commanded you not to eat from?” God asked.

“You woman with me, she gave me the fruit and I ate it.”

God turned to Eve.

“Woman, what is this that you have done?”

“The serpent deceived me, and I ate it.”

Then God turned to the serpent

“Serpent! Because you have done this, Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers, he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

So God cursed to Serpent and the Serpent turned into a snake without any legs, just crawling on his belly.

Then God turned to Adam and Eve.

“I gave you both a wonderful place to live, but you didn’t use it to follow my command.”

God turned to Eve.

“Eve, because you listened to the serpent, you will give birth, but it will be very painful. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

The God turned to Adam.

“Adam, because you listened to Eve, You will have to work hard in the field. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken, for dust you are and to dust you will return.”

God made animal skin clothes for Adam and Eve to wear. So God forced them out of the garden and put an angel with a flaming sword to guard the entrance to keep them from returning. Adam and Eve wept as they took one last look at the entrance of the garden...and walked away.

Sunset Shimmer now witnessed everything that happened. She now understand the cause of sins in the world.

“So, bad things happen in this world, because the first people in this world ate a forbidden fruit?” She asked

“Not just that, it was the very first sin that made this world live in vain.” The Lord answered

“So, what happened to Adam and Eve?”

“Adam and Eve lived in the fields. And yet Eve gave birth to a son who they named: Cain. Then two years later, Eve gave birth to another son who they named: Abel.”

Sunset looked at the whole story bubble.

“The two brothers grew up with different jobs. Abel was a shepherd, and Cain was a farmer. The day came for them to give an offering to the Lord, and they had their own offerings. Abel had a lamb, and Cain had his crops. Then the Lord accepted Abel’s offering, but not Cain’s. Anger and Jealousy and Hatred grew into Cain’s heart, the Lord told him that is he will be accepted by him if he did what was right, But if he does wrong, sin will destroy him. But his anger was to strong for him to listen, Then one day, Cain brought Abel to a field and was secretly planning to kill him. and So he did.”

That part of the story brought a flashback of when Sunset beaten up Applejack at the party back at CHS. Sunset realized she had the same anger as Cain, but a different category.

“Cain hide his brothers body and hoped no one would even realize what happened. The God spoke to Cain, he lied about the murder, but the Lord knew exactly what he had done, so he cursed Cain that he was no longer able to farm the land. Cain is punished as a "fugitive and wanderer".”

“So I had the same anger as Cain did, right.” Sunset asked.

“Indeed you have, but different category.” The Lord answered.

The Lord then show Sunset a biblical timeline of people who trust and follow him.

“As time went by, people have sinned and their hearts have been in vain. But their were some people who loved me trusted me and followed me. Like Noah, Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Samson, Samuel, David, Elijah, Daniel, and many more people.”

Then the Lord showed her the all the people of the past who fought for him praised him and followed.

“And finally after all these years, the time has finally come for a savior to walk on earth. A savior who will show sinners and sickness’s the way, the truth, and the life. A savior who will preform many miracles and will heal the sick, raise the dead, and heal the blind. A savior who is...the son of god!”

Then out nowhere Sunset found herself in an ancient town with people wearing robes and other garments, riding on there chariots, carrying jars of food or water. One other thing Sunset noticed was that she was wearing the same clothes as the other people were.”

“What’s going on? Where am I? And why am I dressed like this.” Sunset asked herself.

She looked around and thought that she can get some answers from any of the people in this mysterious town.

“Hm, maybe I should ask some for answers.” She thought as she wandered off to find answers. But what she doesn’t know is that is she is about to meet some who is about to give birth to a savior.
