B’reisheet 1:1 – 6:8; Isaiah 42:5 – 43:10; Rev 19:6-16; 21:1-7 (John 1)
The mystics say that God made Adam in the image of the Heavenly Adam, the firstborn of all creation, the spiritual image of God. The theology of the heavenly Adam attempts to reconcile the conflict between the idea that God is incorporeal, that is without image and form, and the idea that man is created in the image of God.
