I can not stress enough how important God’s living creatures, what we call animals are to God. Man is certainly a bit above the animals, placed into dominion over the animals, yet we’re made of the same stuff as the animals; the dust of the ground. And God put that same neshemah, spirit of life, into both animals and mankind. When God had the animals parade by Adam as he named them, we must not forget that Adam was also given the opportunity to select one of them as a companion. Not in the sense of a wife, but as a friend. And, no doubt this was to show us the place man has…slightly above the animals…but also the loving importance God places on His living creatures
When we’re told that God knows when a sparrow falls from the sky, it’s because that sparrow in ONE of HIS living creatures who no longer lives. Because God put his HIS LIFE SPIRIT into that creature, that has now be extingquished.
We too often look at that verse only from the viewpoint of how important man is…because it also says he numbers the hair on our heads. But, that’s not the entire point it is that even a bird is important to HIM. So, Way before Yeshua came to the world, God is WATCHING HIS LIVING CREATURES die on account of man
