²⁴ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. ²⁵ And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. ²⁶ 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. ²⁷ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. ²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. ²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. ³⁰ And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. ³¹ And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

THE APPOINTED PATTERN

Temple Article & Feast Day Correspondence

The same sevenfold order is reflected in the articles of the Temple and in the Feasts of the Lord.

DAY 6 · Age of Covering · TEMPLE ARTICLE

Mercy Seat

Exodus 25:17–22 · Leviticus 16:14–16

Above the mercy seat, God meets with His representative. It answers the sixth day’s creation of man in God’s image and the need for atonement: mercy covers the broken law so redeemed humanity may again stand before His presence.

DAY 6 · Age of Covering · FEAST OF THE LORD

Atonement

Leviticus 16:29–34 · Leviticus 23:26–32

The sixth day culminates in man made in God’s image. Atonement addresses the breach caused by human sin, cleansing the people and restoring the relationship required for humanity to dwell before a holy God.
