The deity breathed the breath of his divinity on the Diamond in the forehead of the god.

For divinity, maketh the love of ourselves the pattern; the love of our neighbors, but the portraiture.

If the Deity issues a command, expresses His will, as ancient history tells us, the expression of that will is independent of time and is not caused by anything, for the Divinity is not controlled by an event.
