Genesis verses 1:1 and 1:2

There was an entire earth age that existed between the first two verses of Genesis. This first earth age is spoken of in Jeremiah, Proverbs, Jude, and II Peter. We will look into these Scriptures and try to understand the deeper meaning of our Father's Words.

The world age or cosmos that existed in that ancient time of the past, and everything that was a part of it was destroyed completely. All life on it was completely done away with. God destroyed it completely and it happened at Satan's overthrow. Many people believe that this flood was the flood of Noah's day, however, the flood of Noah's day did not destroy this world age, life from before that flood carried right over into the dispensation that followed one year later, after the waters had subsided.

Unless you have a clear understanding of the "beginning", a Christian or anyone else will have great difficulty understanding the Word's of God. There must be a clear foundation. You can never build upon anything without a solid foundation. This has a lot to do with the creation.

In our world today there is a controversy between Evolution and Creation. It seems the influences of the secular world on our public school systems (as well as other things--especially the media), that we must teach Evolution which anyone in the science community with true knowledge that is if they are a true scientist. There are rather some in that community that like to take the "philosophical trip" of Evolution.

However, it is just a fact that every species on record, whether found in diggings recent or ancient, are the same. They have not advanced one iota. small marine life from the ice age is exactly like the small marine life of this day, You can still find them. No change. Also, Evolution itself must be an unending process, or it is a lie. In other words, you would have to be able to see species in every stage of Evolution for it would have to be an on-going process. The reason you don't see this because its an on-going process because Evolution is a lie. It's a BIG lie.

Those in the scientific community who have any genuine knowledge know this is so. There are, some in the scientific community who do not have knowledge. They are void of knowledge.

God's Word's gives us the truth about the foundation of this world. God spoke and nothing became everything. God does all things in a natural sense, and when you look aside from nature it is easy to lose contact with reality and God.

Most ministers preach today, They say that the world was created about 6,000 years ago, then this is also teaching contrary to God's Word. God's Word's state's that this earth is eons in age. There are some fossils and such that provide incontrovertible proof of various life forms inhabiting the earth millions of years ago. These are facts, obvious, they are there; yet you have some bible-thumpers that will insist the Bible states the earth is 6000 years old.

The Bible DOES NOT state this. You simply cannot document that God's Word says the earth is 6000 years old. It says quite the contrary. The Bible even says there was age before this earth age. same earth, same Heaven, Different age.

Many things happened in that age and they are written in God's Word. Lets turn to the book of Psalms and lets read with understanding what the bible says. This was before Adam and Eve time. Before the flood of Noah, Before flesh man.

Lets go to Psalms 104. In this Psalm we are in the beginning.

* Psalms 104:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
* Psalms 104:2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
* Psalms 104:3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

This is no doubt those chariots spoken of in Ezekiel Chapter 1 On which His very throne was transported. A very natural sense when you understand the nature of things. It was probably those same vehicles that the fallen angels came in Genesis 6. There are traces on this earth, facts, documents, in Central America, landing fields, directions given and recorded by the ancients as to their being.

* Psalms 104:4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
* Psalms 104:5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

These foundations go back million's of years. "Should not be removed forever." the ages will change, the cosmos will, but never the terra firma, (the erets, the soil) it shall stay the same. The earth in its proper orbit.

Admittedly it is strange-sounding to hear of the earth ages, but the Word of God does teach it (even though so many "teachers" do not). But it is so essential to know and understand this if we are going to know and understand the creation and "why" we are even in this earth age.

Why did God destroy the age that was ?

* Psalms 104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

Those waters fled instantly, not the year it took as recorded in Genesis for Noah's flood to depart. No this was instant. In Noah's flood the waters slowly receded.

* Psalms 104:8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
* Psalms 104:9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

Yes, it is recorded in Genesis that God promised that he would never again destroy the earth by water. That promise was most certainly rededicated at the time of Noah's flood. Peter spoke of these things, and if these things seem foreign this is because it requires a dedication to a careful study of God's Word.

In 2 Peter, Peter devoted one full chapter (Chapter 3) to the Three World Ages. Think not then read on, but do your utmost to put aside predisposition's and let the Word speak for itself. The first book of Peter in written to the Elect.

The second book of Peter is to the Elect about the age before the foundation of this earth age

* 2 Peter 3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
* 2 Peter 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior:
* 2 Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
* 2 Peter 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
* 2 Peter 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

Most Christians today, and all of the worldly people today are willingly placing their selves in ignorance on this matter of the creation. Old as it is spoken of here is very ancient, goes far back before the time of Noah and Adam, and even before the creation of the animal world and the earth age as we know it now. Peter is telling you that in the far past, there was a first earth age. Not a different world or planet, but the same planet [earth] existing in a time frame prior to as the earth exist today. The same world, but a different world age or time frame.

* 2 Peter 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

That world age or cosmos that existed in that ancient time of the past, and everything that was a part of it was destroyed completely. All life on it was completely done away with. God destroyed it completely and it happened at Satan's overthrow. Many people believe that this flood was the flood of Noah's day, however, the flood of Noah's day did not destroy this world age, life from before that flood carried right over into the dispensation that followed one year later, after the waters had subsided.

(Note) that many are "willingly ignorant" about the Heavens being of old and the earth standing "out" and " in " the water. In other Words there was an age before the one were in now. but many people simply prefer to ignore it or to understand this.

Is Peter talking here about Noah's flood? No way. Then there was two floods ? in verse 5 peter is telling us that God totally and completely destroyed every being. The world (Age) "that then was perished.

No survivors, no ark. "All" gone. Perished means that everything of that age perished "everything."

(concordance information: 622. apollumi,ap-ol'-loo-mee; from G575 and the base of G3639; to destroy fully
(reflex. to perish, or lose), lit. or fig.:--destroy, die, lose, mar, perish.)

Now here we get into another controversy: was or was not the flood worldwide. the more popular, the worldwide flood does not appear to fit other evidences in the Scripture. Perhaps one of the most significant is where Christ Himself literally attributes the responsibility of the blood of Abel to Cain's descendants.

In Luke 11:51 we see the blood line of Cain continually on

* Luke 11:51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

There would be no way this could be true if "all" of them had died in a so-called worldwide flood. Not only that, but the Lord Himself says they are descendants of this seed. Worldwide flooders can only get "around" this direct statement by "spiritualizing" the passage and that is not in line with good Biblical hermeneutics.

It fits much more adequately, and is in line with the direct statements of Scripture, that the flood was intended to wipe out the Nephilim, Satan's attack on the promise of God from where the Lord could come thru Eve

* 2 Peter 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

Do you think that Noah's flood destroyed the heaven that was? Now that is what is being said here ? Naturally Noah's flood did not destroy them both,

* 2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Some people think this means we are going to a different place, that this earth will be destroyed. This is because they don't understand Greek. This earth will be rejuvenated (2537. kainos, kahee-nos'; of uncert. affin.; new (espec. in freshness; while G3501 is prop. so with respect to age) new It's a new earth age and a new heaven age. It's the third (eternal) age. and the last, for there is so more sin, satan, or testing for sin

It does takes a lot to unscramble this teaching. The "Scramblers" in so many of the churches have put "stuff" into so many minds over the years, "stuff" from so-called Bible teachers. Their intentions are not being questioned, but their scholarship is! It can and has made fools out of many Christians. This would be especially true if you are going to insist that this earth is only 6,000 years old despite so much evidence to the contrary. Only a fool would make a statement like that, because God's Word itself through Peter's teachings make it clear the earth is quite old. If more Christians would just learn to study and listen to God's Word rather than tradition's of man, they would be much clearer on this.

Where do you go to get the truth ? The beginning, of course. Genesis means beginning. What can we learn ? Lets read into the words and let Gods word's flow into your mind of what is being said.

* Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Who is Speaking, This is God: Hebrew name (ELOHIM)

(Note) the period ! Now when did it say God did that? It doesn't say. It said " in the beginning " God made the heaven and the earth. It doesn't give any time involved, other than it was "the beginning." This is the World that then '' was " 2 Peter 3:5,6.

When was that ? And after God created the heaven and the earth (to be inhabited) what happened to it ? Listen to the scriptures, your about to find out.

* Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

( The word "void" in Hebrew is (8414.) tohuw, to'-hoo; from an unused root mean. to lie waste; a desolation

(of surface), i.e. desert; fig. a worthless thing; adv. in vain:--confusion, empty place, without form, nothing,

(thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.

Now it is clear from other Scripture's that there was indeed an entire age between verses Genesis 1 & 2.

The word " was " is better translated "became." Why?

The revisers ill-advisedly decided that 'all such words now printed initalics, as are plainly implied in the Hebrew, and necessary in English, be printed in common type.'" "One of the consequences of this decision is that the verb 'to be' is not distinguished from the verb 'to become', so that the lessons conveyed by the A.V. 'was' and 'was' [in italics] are lost.

The earth was NOT created tohuw (see Isaiah 45:18) but "became" tohuw.

* Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

Christ specifically declared that an enemy had done this (see Matthew 13:25-39).Also, in the entire Old Testament this word "was-italic" is always translated as "became" except in this verse (examples would be Genesis 3 where man became a ruin, and Psalms 14:1-3; 51:5; 53:1-3.

Psalms 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalms 14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
Psalms 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Psalms 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Psalms 53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
Psalms 53:2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
Psalms 53:3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Finally, the word "and" in verse two is a polysyndeton, by which in the remaining 30 verse's of this introduction designate each one of 102 SEPARATE acts, clearly distinguishing this act of becoming desolate as being distinct
from the beginning creation

In verse 1. The Bible gives us lots of clues about what happened between verses Genesis 1 and verse 2. There was time before this destruction that all of the children of God sang and were happy. It is written in Proverbs 8. But then unhappiness came on the scene with satan's rebellion. This is written in Ezekiel 28.

Make a side study of Proverbs Chapter 8 and Ezekiel chapter 28

The real problem here is that too many Christians listen to men and not to the Word's of God.

It is really in the first earth age that death entered into the scene, when Satan was given the death sentence (yet to be carried out). Sure, death entered "this earth age" but you have to make sure you differentiate between "this earth age" and the other ages indicated in the Bible.

Far too many Christians are allowing "ministers" to impose traditional parameters around the beginnings and endings of the "ages." It's hard to see past this form of teaching, yet God goes into great detail as to how He destroyed the earth, and it's well-described in Jeremiah Chapter 4.

In Jeremiah 4 God is giving Israel a great warning. He is telling them how to break up ground to plant seed (flesh men for one thing)But God also warned that He would destroy THIS earth age just as He did the LAST one.

Here the Bible gives us a first-hand account from God Himself as to how he destroyed the earth age that was. It is here we find out HOW the earth came to be void and without form (Genesis 2:2). It wasn't always that way.

Lets turn to the book of Jeremiah. Listen very careful to the scripture's were about to read. Very important Go to Jeremiah 4:19-27 Don't read over it. Read into the account of the earth and man.

* Jeremiah 4:19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

This is better translated " My heart, my heart ", [Strongs #4578 Meah, "the place of emotions or distress and love. Jeremiah was pained for what was in his forehead, his mind. The seventh trumpet, the last trumpet is sounding the last war, and that war will be won by almighty God, and the Elect.

What is this war ? Spiritual Doctrine. Those who will take a Stand Against Satan. some of you have a destiny and a purpose, and you hear the warnings sounding today. You can see the deceptions that are coming upon us now. Some of us have known that there is more to God's Word then what we have been taught from our youth.

* Jeremiah 4:20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.

The whole land is deceived. When that seventh trump sound's, How long do you think it is going to take for God to get the victory ? It will take just a wink of the eye, a fraction of a second, and it is all over. God will move against His enemies, and not those that He loves.

* Jeremiah 4:21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?

God's Elect will not leave the cross, the elect will know sound the trumpet, and hold up the standard, which is to say the true Christ, as long as there is breath in our being. We will not run to that first false messiah, or be swayed by supernatural antics being performed by the instead of Christ. As it is written the false jesus christ will come at the 6th trump, 6th seal, 6th vial

What will be the title role name of satan ?

Yep you got it, Jesus Christ, The Savior of all. This is why he is called the antichrist / god. The word anti mean instead of.

* Jeremiah 4:22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are Scottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

God is showing thy disappointment in thy people here. The work for "Scottish" in the Hebrew means "stupid" [Strongs #5530, Cakal, "to play the fool.."]. He is disappointed in His people because of their foolishness, and stupidity in listening and being deceived. He is saying, if you don't think that I am going to bring destruction at the seventh trumpet of this earth age, you had better look back at the first Earth Age. Satan rebelled and I destroyed the entire earth age.

(Note) Father will destroy there soul at the second judgment. Why ? because they had it coming to them.

* Jeremiah 4:23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

God is telling us here exactly what He did to the earth at one time. This was in the first earth age. The earth spoken of here, is the "erets" as given in the Hebrew text. In Strong's Hebrew dictionary # 776. God is saying that He was so angry before, in that first earth age, that He totally destroyed everything. In the Hebrew, from

Genesis 1:2 "tohu va bohu" which means, "without form and void" "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

* Jeremiah 4:24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.

All the hills and mountains around this earth moving in one massive earthquake. there is also another shaking coming.

* Jeremiah 4:25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.

There was no man, because He destroyed every being on the face of the earth. God destroyed all the birds, and creatures along with man. This is not talking about the flood of Noah, for with the flood of Noah, not only was eight Adamic souls saved but two souls from each race, as well as two of all the animals. Even the Kenites, the sons of Cain came through the flood. With Noah ? Yes

* Jeremiah 4:26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.

God destroyed all their cities, as well as every man and beast of the field. Did you notice that there were ancient cities in that first earth age. The bible does not disagree that the overthrow took place, and that this earth is millions of years old. However most Bible teachers today say that this earth is only 6,000 years old. Remember what God called those people? Stupid! They can't read the manuscripts, and open their eyes to the evidence around them, and see the truths that God has spoken in His Word. For the Word's will never change.

* Jeremiah 4:27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.

God is saying that in the end, He will still have a remnant that He will protect. The earth will be rejuvenated at His coming, and it will be a perfect place. When we move into that Third Earth Age, that being the Millennium Age and after, there will be no Satan to disrupt the earth. Science and our Father's Word go together beautifully

* Jeremiah 4:28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.

God is saying to be aware, and be prepared for what is coming. For the end of the age is almost up.
Now read those verses above carefully. It shows how the earth became " void " and this isn't Noah's flood because it is clear there is "no" man or thing was left.

No ark, no survivors. Not only that but there are cities that were there that are no longer seen, but broken down and destroyed! Yet, God did not make a "full end." The earth, though now void and desolate, was still there. So were the heavens. No living birds. How could this be Noah's flood if he had a raven and a dove?!

Was the earth created without form and void?

* Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

(Note) "NOT in vain" (not in tohuw!). He would not create a wasteland. He created it a beautiful thing--mother earth to be inhabited. Not void and waste. It "became" that way because of satan.
