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?

Two Phases
One Singular Project
The origin and the realization
Genesis 1:26 — The Origin
"Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."
Genesis 1:26 · ESV
Romans 8:29 — The Realization
The final phase of fulfillment — the perfect realization of the design, that perfect realization being his Son Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:29 · ESV

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.

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.

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.

The Final Phase
Romans 8:29 Revealed
The master plan, fully disclosed
Romans 8:29
"For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers."
Romans 8:29 · ESV
↓
The Definitive RevelationThe abstract "Image" drafted in Genesis is finally and perfectly identified — the Son, Jesus Christ.

The Central Truth
Jesus Was Never Plan B
The Architect's Intent
He was seated at the right hand of the Father since the creation of the universe. The design was mapped out before the foundation of the earth.
"in our image" (Gen 1:26) → "image of his Son" (Rom 8:29)

Heaven & Earth
The Perfect Intersection
The Son stands at the exact center
□
The Square — Earthly Realm (Genesis 1:26)Physical form, breathing dust, dominion over fish, birds, and creeping things.
○
The Circle — Divine Realm (Romans 8:29)Eternal predestination and conformity to the divine nature.
✝
The Center — The SonHe alone perfectly fulfills the earthly dominion of the First Adam and the divine conformity of the Last Adam.

Into Production
The Blueprint Goes Live
The prototype becomes a family line
①
The Firstborn — ChristThe perfected prototype, conquering the flaws of the original draft.
②
The Conformity ProcessBelievers are actively "conformed" — molded, drafted, engineered — to match this exact image.
③
The Many BrothersThe master plan culminates in a restored family entirely bearing the likeness of the original Architects.
