The Question
Humanity's Search for Design
The square: earthly realm. The circle: divine. Whose blueprint were we drawn from?
The Question
Humanity's Search for Design
Whose blueprint were we originally drawn from?

Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man sought to map the perfect mathematical proportions of the human body. The square represents the earthly, physical realm; the circle represents the divine, infinite realm.

?
The Unanswered Question While art maps our physical geometry, theology asks: Whose blueprint were we originally drawn from?

Genesis 1:26 — Three Parameters
The Drafting Document
"Let us make man" — not spoken from afar. Crafted with deliberate, hands-on intent.
The Original Draft
Examining the Drafting Document
Genesis 1:26 — Three design parameters
I
"Let us make man…"Not spoken into existence from afar — crafted with intentional, hands-on deliberation.
II
"…in our image, after our likeness."The core design parameter. Humanity is a mirrored reflection of a pre-existing divine reality.
III
"Let them have dominion…"The assigned function. The design is engineered for stewardship over the earthly realm.

Genesis 1:26
The Design Team — The Trinity as Architects
"Let us make man in our image." Not a grammatical anomaly — the Trinity at work.
The Design Team
The Trinity as Architects
The plural language of Genesis 1:26
Genesis 1:26
"Let us make man in our image…"
Genesis 1:26 · ESV

The plural language is not a grammatical anomaly. The Holy Trinity — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — are the original, unified collaborative architects forming a singular image at the center of their intersection.

Biblical Typology
The First Draft Was a Shadow
The First Adam: a preliminary sketch. The Son: the masterwork the sketch existed to point toward.
The Typological Mirror
The First Draft Was a Shadow
Pointing to a future perfection

Biblical typology treats early historical figures as preliminary sketches — "types" — pointing to a future reality.

→
The First AdamA preliminary sketch possessing earthly dominion, inherently designed to anticipate a masterwork.
✦
The FulfillmentThe detailed, perfect reality of the Son that the Genesis silhouette existed solely to point toward.
