When thinking of God and eternity, without beginning or end; God had preexisted before anything was created, so the beginning, as written in (Genesis 1:1-2), was only a point of reference which pertains our existence and creation.
(Genesis 1:1-2) “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Beginning (str. 7225) the root means to shake; the head (as most easily shaken, lit. or fig. of place, time, rank etc. a first fruit—beginning, chief, principal thing.
Created (str. 1254) to create; (qualified) to cut down, select, feed (as formative processes): choose, cut down, dispatch, do, make.It refers to the tearing down and sculpting or fashioning the earth from the existing matter into something new, just as God did in the creation of man.
Heavens (str. 8064) to be lofty; the sky, alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve, and air.
Earth (str. 776) to be firm; the earth, land, field, ground, land.
Beginning is used in (Ps. 102:25) (Is. 40:21) (Jn. 1:1-3), referring to the time of the foundation of heaven and earth.
“The earth was without form, and void;”
Form (str. 8414)
Void (str. 922)
“And darkness was on the face of the deep.”
Darkness (str. 2822) to be dark, as without light, to darken—be black, be made dark, darken, cause darkness, be dim, hide. Fig. misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness—dark, night, and obscurity.
Face (str. 6440)
Deep (str. 8415)
“And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. “
(John 1:1-3) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”
Jesus is the word in creation.
Beginning (str. 746)
(Genesis 1:3-5) “Then God said,”
“Let there be light’; and there was light, and there was light.”
While symbolically is referred to as light which illuminates and expels the darkness, and bring forth truth and life. God is represented as pure light.
4 “And God saw the light that it was good;”
“And God divided the light from the darkness.”
5 “God called the light Day,”
Day: (str. 3117) from the root to be hot, as in the warm hours, literal or figurative; it is a space of time. In (2 Pet. 3:8) a day to the Lord could be as a thousand years. Just as the ‘seventy weeks of Daniels’ segment of times ‘is literally interpreted as seventy years.
And the darkness He called Night.”
“So the evening and the morning were the first day.” (The first segment of times)
Because of this evidence, I am becoming convinced that there is a time gap between verse two and three, which opens the theoretical possibilities not only of an older earth, but also the possibilityof the existence of previous inhabitants who dwelt on the earth before Adam, which may have been Lucifer and his fallen angels, who were cast out of heaven to the earth, who later corrupted the seed of Adams decedents.
By taking the daughters of man unto themselves and bore offspring called napalm, giants, which caused God to bring about the great flood. The reason this may have significant importance is because the last day, or now, will be like in the Days of Noah. Are UFO’s connected to this?
“1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. 9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. 13 And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” NKJ
(Revelation 21:23 & 22:3-5) The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. —– (3) And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.
