Active player chooses:
418.5e An object's timestamp is the time it entered the zone it's
currently in, with three exceptions: (a) If two or more objects enter
a zone (or zones) simultaneously, the active player determines their
timestamp order at the time they enter that zone. (b) Whenever an
Aura, Equipment, or Fortification becomes attached to an object or
player, the Aura, Equipment, or Fortification receives a new
timestamp. (c) Permanents that phase in keep the same timestamps they
had when they phased out.
Here's what I think the various situations are that you need to be
familiar with:
Opalescence - Humility
Opalescence is just an enchantment.
Humility is a 1/1 enchantment creature with no abilities.
Other enchantments are 1/1 enchantment creatures with no abilities.
Other creatures are 1/1 creatures with no abilities.
Humility - Opalescence
Opalescence is just an enchantment.
Humility is a 4/4 enchantment creature with no abilities.
Other enchantments are X/X enchantment creatures with no abilities.
Other creatures are 1/1 creatures with no abilities.
Opalescence - Opalescence - Humility
All creatures are 1/1 creatures with no abilities.
All enchantments are 1/1 enchantment creatures with no abilities.
Opalescence - Humility - Opalescence
All creatures are 1/1 creatures with no abilities.
First Opalescence is 4/4 enchantment creature with no abilities.
Humility is 4/4 enchantment creature with no abilities.
Second Opalescence is 1/1 enchantment creature with no abilities.
Other enchantments are X/X creatures with no abilities.
Humility - Opalescence - Opalescence
All creatures are 1/1 creatures with no abilities.
Humility and the Opalescences are 4/4 enchantment creatures with no
abilities.
Other enchantments are X/X creatures with no abilities.
I encourage you to verify these by going through the layers and
applying all of the abilities, remembering that once an ability
has started to apply in one layer, it will still apply in later
layers (if applicable) even if it gets removed in layer 5.
