| CREATION
PART II
After Michael
(Jesus) and Lucifer was Created, thousands upon thousands, thousands
and thousands angels were created ( Daniel 7:10; Revelation 5:11).
Angels; a supernatural or heavenly being, a little higher in dignity
than man. Angels are Created beings (Psalm 148:2-5). Scripture does
not tell us the time of their Creation, bit it was certainly before
the Creation of Earth and man. All angels are described as “Spirits”
(Hebrews 1:14). Although without a bodily organism they have often
revealed themselves in bodily form as a man ( Genesis 18:1-3). They
therefore constitute a company, not a race developed from one original
pair.
After the angels
were created, then it was time to turn to the Creation of the galaxies,
the planets that makes up the solar system: Mars Mercury, Venus,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and the Earth, with other planets
throughout the universe.
The solar system
is like a almighty clock, with planets for balance; wheels set in
motions but the laws of God (Yahvah). Around the sun revolve many
smaller bodies known as planetoids. The earth itself is one of the
planets, and like the other, it follows its changeless path, or
orbit, round and round the sun. The time required for one round
trip makes what we call our year. Other planets have years different
in length from the earth’s year.
The scientists
have said that we can only guess as to how the planets, the sun,
and the solar system came to be. The theory is that they now believe,
for the sake of argument, that the origin of the earth and other
planets was caused by an accident. The solar systems, with all its
planets, is but a small part of the great universe, containing perhaps
thousands of systems like the solar system and all keeping order
and harmony in their giant circling of the sky: (Junior Britannia).
Biblical Cosmogony, (Term applied to the origin of the universe,
to theories concerning its origin, is a study of its origin and
development. In primitive cosmogonies the universe and life were
Created by some supernatural Being). The God of the Bible Created
the Angels, Stars, Sun the Earth, and Man from a formless chaos.
In the beginning, God. God was the only Spiritual Being in the universe;
nothing but darkness throughout space.
The Bible clearly
teaches that the universe, and all matter had a beginning, and came
into existence through the will of the Eternal God (yahvah). There
was a long gap between verse 1 and 2 of chapter 1 of Genesis, it
could have been a million years before man and animals was created.
Although the
earth is only a tiny speck when compared with some of the other
heavenly bodies, we are the only place in the universe where there
are living things. “For thus said 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” (Isaiah 45:18).
“Hast
thou not known? Has thou not herd, that the Everlasting God, the
Lord, the Creator of the ends of the Earth; He stretcheth out the
Heavens as a curtain and spreadeth out as a tent to dwell in: (Isaiah
40:15; 17-19; 21-22; 26; 28).
