incarnate

verb

in·​car·​nate | \ in-ˈkär-ˌnāt  , ˈin-ˌkär- \

a: to give bodily form and substance to

The Genesis story is the the story of the incarnation. God giving substance to the universe. The entire universe in an incarnation of god. God’s body.

God is through all and in all.

For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected.

For by god all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through god and for god.

There are parts of the universal body of god that bring death and parts that bring life. God’s body is continually dying and being reborn over and over. This life and death principle has always been at work in the universal body of god

It has been “slain from the foundation of the the world. “

This life and death dynamic within the universal body of god is unavoidable.

“unless you eat and drink of it, you have no life”

The universal body of god includes all of it. Disasters, diseases, pandemics, death. And rebirths and resurrections.
