The big picture of creation shows that everything of His making - - including us - - should support His primary purpose: Separation unto ultimate order and Unity, forever.
The big picture of creation shows that everything of His making - - including us - - allows His primary purpose: separation unto unity. When we see the value of all creation for His purpose , then we can better support both Him and all His creation. Creation is not primarily centered in us or the Garden or our Fall.
When we see the value of all creation to His purpose , then we support both. Stewardship Although Creation does not center itself in us, we are essential - - as Separators !

Observational Diameter over Time
Observe For give ness. Christ Died . . in foreordained time, 1 Peter 1:19 - 20
Six days of creation progressively ‘ bara ’ - separated order from the chaos. Creation days led to continuation of the seventh day. The seventh day allows our works to be separated like wheat and tare heads, bearing fruit unto the final order of: evil separated to hell - and goodness separated to heaven; forever. This is the big view .
The ‘very good’ plan of creation serves the seventh day - in which we serve God. Creation is for separation unto order. The Garden and Fall is a part. We separate goodness and evil. Our resulting fruit is the production of the seventh day. Hebrews 4:9 refers to the future end of the seventh day - s abbatismos - Shabbat. Creation serves the separation process.
