31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. 1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished
his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. (Genesis 1:31-2:2–ESV)
So, long, long ago God built the heavens and the earth and then he rested. The place was built and the people were built. The people, though, were untested and untried. Would they accept God’s pattern and live forever? Well, we know how that turned out. Oddly enough, it turns out that God knew what we would decide, counted the cost to himself and did it anyway. If you are a mystery lover there you have the mother of all mysteries.
