| CREATION
PART I
Most of us
have been predisposed to various kinds of doctrines, creed, beliefs,
and teachings; so that when we encounter something contrary to our
beliefs we are inclined to look for evidence to counteract such.
In doing so we may find a passage that supports our previous opinion,
even if it contradicts a half dozen other passages on the same subject.
Perhaps we have taken a text out of context, or it may be an obscure
passage, a phrase, or giving a “Private Interpretation”
(2 Peter 1:20). Never interpret a clear and plain passage of scripture
by a doubtful or obscure passage. Now let us investigate for the
answers “when was the Great Planet Earth came into being.”
Thou Lord (Elohim) in the beginning hast laid the foundation of
the Earth, and the Heavens are the works of thine hands (Hebrews
1:10).
“In the
beginning God,” …God was before all. The next word in
the Genesis chapter 1:1 was “Created,” “God Created,”
(He God the Father) Created. He Created the Heavens and the Earth,
but the very next verse of the first chapter of Genesis says this:
“The Earth was without Form, and Void.” The Hebrew words
for “without Form, and Void “are tohu and bohu. Translated
into English they mean Chaotic, in Confusion; Waste and Empty.
Why would God
Create the Earth in disorder and then have to straighten in out?
“God saw every thing that He made, and, behold, it was Good,”
implied a personal and beautiful order and system. When God is talking
to Job about His creation, He is saying to Job, “where wast
thou when I laid the foundation of the Earth? Who hath laid the
measure thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched the line
upon it? Where upon are the foundation thereof fastened? Or who
laid the corner stone thereof?” (Job 38:1-7). The Angels was
so overjoyed by the beautiful Creation that they “sang and
shouted for joy.” The morning stars and the sons of God refer
to intelligent beings (Angels) before the Creation of the visible
Heavens and Earth.
Once upon a
time the Universe was Formless, Darkness was universal, not one
planet, or star marked the solar system. The Eternal, Independent
and Self Existent Being, the Being whose purpose and actions sprang
from Himself, True and Holy, the cause of all beings, the upholder
of all things, before the Creative acts all was eternity. This Creator
was God (Elohim). It necessarily follows that He (God) is also the
Creator of His Son Jesus, Called Michael the Archangel.
The Four angels mentioned by name as Archangels are : Michael, Gabriel,
Raphael, and Lucifer. Lucifer, “light bringer” was the
bright and morning star; the second Created Spiritual being ( Angel)
He was a brilliant, glorious Spiritual being--an archangel and full
of wisdom, the prince of this world. Lucifer had some mysterious
connection with this earth and its animals (prehistoric reptiles),
before man’s appearance. “Thou sealest up the sun”
(Ezekial 28:2). There were no Sun nor Moon. Lucifer was so bright
that he was the sun that lit up the whole solar system.
