Genesis 1:26-29 KJV
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. [27] So God created man (kadazan) in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. [28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. [29] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
John 8:44 KJV
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Kaamatan Joy was first celebrated in Penampang in late fifties and early sixties before Sabah aka North Borneo joined together with Sarawak, Singapore and Malaya to form Malaysia as "Mamanau Kampung" or "Korpus Kristi" in commemoration of the "exodus" of God's people from Egypt, the land of sins and death and the promise of future redemption that the "Bohi" of Yhvh God will bring to the human race!

Donald Steven aka Tun Fuad  on 31/8/1963 as the first Chief Minister of Sabah and Huguan Siou of the Kadazans claiming the promises of Yhvh God and declaring Sabah and its people free from the shackle of British Colonialism and became self independent under Yhvh God, the God of Abraham, Izaac and Jacob, the God of the Bible.

After 666, (some called it the double six tragedy) which happened on Pentecost Sunday 1976,  the people went back to the worship of Baal, through the unredeemed priesthood of bobolians/tantagas, knowingly or unknowingly participating in the worship of babylonian gods and godesses - e.g. Bambahazon/Bambarayon, queen of heaven, mother earth or nature, etc!

An age long symbol of Babylonian religion - the moon and sun god/goddess: Baal and Ashotereth!

Yhvh God revealed to a pagan King Nebuchadnesser how world governments changed hands before the Eternal Kingdom of Christ takes over as enterprated by Daniel.
