"THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS", of Gen 1:1. "THE WORLD THAT NOW IS", of Gen 1:2"
As plainly so stated,in stated scriptural sequence.. God,(originally) "CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH"(of Gen 1:1),sometime during the scripturally undated past.
In 2 Pet 3:6,Peter refers to that (original) primal creation,as "THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS",of Gen 1:1. Peter,went on to state,concerning the (original) creation. That the (original) Gen 1:1 planet earth "BEING OVERFLOWED WITH WATER,PERISHED". Peter was (not)thereby referring to The second Noahic flooding,of Gen Chapters 6 thru 8,but was (in context) referring to that taking place "FROM THE BEGINNING
OF THE (Gen Ch 1 (original) CREATION",is so stated in 2 Pet 3:4. ,
Peter,was therefore describing the (first) global flooding of planet earth,as described in Gen 1:2 "AND THE VOID EARTH,WAS (i.e.literally), "BECAME" 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 Heb words,describing (that earth),AS "HAVING BECOME WASTE AND VOID",are
"TOHU-VA-BOHU. .
Here it is of the utmost importance to note. That in Eccl 3:11 it states. "HE HATH MADE EVERY THING BEAUTIFUL IN HIS TIME". And in Deut 32:4 it states; "HE IS THE ROCK. HIS WORK IS PERFECT". And in Prov 3:19 it states;"THE LORD,BY WISDOM,HATH FOUNDED THE EARTH. BY UNDERSTANDING HATH HE ESTABLISHED THE HEAVENS". No. God did not (originally) create "THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS" of Gen1:1,--TOHU-VA-BOHU", "WASTE. AND VOID". God (originally) created the entire universe "BEAUTIFUL",and "PERFECT". But due to some horrendous,cataclysmic event--"IT (BECAME) WASTE,AND VOID", "IT. (BECAME) TOHU-VA-BOHU". Such is plainly so stated in "the properly recorded sequence",of Gen 1:1,and Gen 1:2. When "THE (original) BEAUTIFUL,PERFECT WORLD THAT THEN WAS",of Gen 1:1--(BECAME)--what Peter calls in 2 Pet 3:7--"THE HEAVENS AND EARTH WHICH ARE NOW",i.e."THE WASTED AND VOIDED.WORLD THAT NOW IS",of Gen 1:2.
Q. But does it not state that God "began" His (original) creation at Gen Ch 1 & 2?
A. No. That would be "sequentially incorrect". As we shall discover,no (original) act of Godly Creation,is either stated,or implied,in the first six days,described in Gen 1:3,through Gen 1:27. Why not? Let us closely examine those first six days,as follows:
(1). In Gen 1:3,God said. "(LET) THERE BE LIGHT. AND (at Gen 1:3-5) THERE WAS LIGHT. Next,at Gen 1:3-5,"GOD (DIVIDED) THE LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS".i.e. From "THE DARKNESS",of Gen 1:2. AND GOD CALLED THE LIGHT DAY. AND THE DARKNESS HE CALLED NIGHT". Now notice this---. "AND THE EVENING,AND THE MORNING,WERE THE FIRST DAY".
"THE LIGHT" mentioned above,appearing on "THE FIRST DAY",could only be referring to that produced by "THE SUN,MOON,AND STARS",which God is not said to have "MADE" until "THE FOURTH DAY",at Gen 1:14-19. That,will be explained later. Yes. The Sun,Moon,and Stars which God "(LET) APPEAR",at Gen 1:3-5,were one and the same Sun.Moon,and Stars,which God is said to have "MADE" on "DAY FOUR",at Gen
Gen 1:14-19. Now, carefully consider the following:
Common sense alone should dictate. That God did not "CREATE THE LIGHT",of the Sun,Moon,and Stars on"THE FIRST DAY",of Gen 1:3-5. THEN NEED "TO RE-CREATE THEM" ON THE FOURTH DAY,OF GEN 1:14-19. Yet in each case,they are said to be "ONE AND THE SAME LIGHT (WHICH DIVIDED THE DAYFROM THE NIGHT"). So how could BOTH be so?
The answer of course,is that God did not (originally) create the foregoing Sun,Moon,and Stars on "THE FIRST DAY",of Gen 1:3-5. Nor,on "THE FOURTH DAY",of Gen 1:14-19. In Gen 1:3-5,God simply "(LET) THE LIGHT",of the pre-existing sun,moon,and stars "re-appear" and begin to dispel "THE DARKNESS",covering planet earth of of Gen 1:2.,caused by the heavenly war of Rev Ch 12. It was not untiì "THE FOURTH DAY",of Gen 1:14-19,that God (completely dispelled),the atmospheric "DARKNESS",of Gen 1:2. And "MADE" the Sun,Moon,and Stars,to "RE-APPEAR" on planet earth,in all of their (original) "unclouded brilliance".
On "THE SECOND DAY",of Gen 1:6-8,God did not "create" nor "re-create" planet earth! God simply Verbally Commanded the global flood waters of covering planet earth,og Gen 1:2,,"to separate". Thereby creating an "expanse" between those global waters.
On "THE THIRD DAY",of Gen 1:9-12. God "commanded" the global flood waters of Gen 1:2,covering planet earth,"to recede",and thereby causing the (pre-existing) land of planet earth to "RE-APPEAR",at Gen 1:9.
The Sun,Moon,and Stars,( to then) "shone fully" upon "THE DRY LAND" of planet earth,and this once again again "BROUGHT FORTH" all of planet earth's (former vegetation) that had "lain dormant" during "THE DARKENED,AND GLOBALLY FLOODED PERIOD",recorded in Gen 1:2. That vegetation did not need to be "re-created",on "THE THIRD DAY" of Gen 1:9-13. Nor was it
"ALL FLESH" had perished in the cataclysmic "WASTING AND VOIDING" of planet earth,occuring at Gen 1:2. So on "THE FOURTH,FIFTH,and SIXTH DAYS" of Gen 1:20-27,God chose to "RE-FORM" an entirely new species of fish,fowl,beast,AND human-kind,to simply "RE-PLENISH",AND "RE-FILL UP AGAIN" the . totally lifeless,totally devastated planet earth,of Gen 1:2,e.g. as so stated at Gen 1:28.
Q. What occured during "THE (originally created) WORLD THAT THEN WAS",of Gen 1:1,that led to the "WASTING AND VOIDING",of "THE WORLD THAT NOW IS",of Gen 1:2? And thus the foregoing Godly "need" to "RE-PLENISH",and "RE-FILL IT",beginning with the seven,literal 24 solar hour days,of Gen 1:3-28?
A. In Rev 12:7-12 it states. "AND THERE WAS A WAR IN HEAVEN. MICHAEL,AND HIS ANGELS, FOUGHT AGAINST THE DRAGON. AND THE DRAGON FOUGHT,AND HIS ANGELS. AND PRE- VAILED NOT. NEITHER,WAS THEIR PLACE FOUND ANY MORE IN HEAVEN.
AND THE GREAT DRAGON WAS CAST OUT. THAT OLD SERPENT,CALLED THE DEVIL,AND SATAN,WHICH DECEIVETH THE WHOLE WORLD. (HE WAS CAST OUT INTO THE (previously created planet) EARTH. AND HIS ANGELS WERE CAST OUT WITH HIM". WOE TO THE INHABITERS OF THE EARTH,AND THE SEA! FOR THE DEVIL IS COME DOWN UNTO YOU. HAVING GREAT WRATH,BECAUSE HE KNOWETH,THAT HE HATH BUT A SHORT TIME".
Here it should be noted. That the foregoing "WAR IN HEAVEN",between God and (fallen) Lucifer. WOULD HAVE HAD TO OCCUR,SOMETIME PRIOR TO THE SEVEN DAYS EVENTS,SET FORTH IN GEN 1:3-28. Why so?
It should also be noted. That as a result of the foregoing (pre-Adamic) "WAR IN HEAVEN". Fallen Lucifer and 1/3rd of God's fallen angels that had followed Lucifer in his heavenly rebellion,WERE "CAST INTO" (the already created) "HEAVEN AND EARTH,WORLD THAT THEN WAS",of Gen 1:1. Fallen Lucifer,AS THE OLD SERPENT OF GEN CH 3,WAS (ALREADY ON) "THE WASTED AND VOIDED PLANET EARTH" of Gen 1:2. (PRIOR TO) ANY AND ALL OF THE EVENTS SET FORTH IN THE 7 DAY PERIOD OF GEN 1:3-28.
"THE EVENING,AND THE MORNING" (separation of the seven days),mentioned in Gen 1:3-28. Restrict them to,seven literal,24 solar hour days. So,"THE WAR IN HEAVEN of Rev Ch 12,could not possibly "have taken place",(DURING),that literal,seven day period. Which means. That Gen 1:3-27,could not have been de- cribing the (original) creation of "THE HEAVEN,AND THE EARTH",described in Gen 1:1! Nor did it.
"A biblical day",qualified by either a cardinal,or an ordinal number,defines a literal,24 hr,solar day,e.g. "THE EVENING (AND) THE MORNING" of Gen 1:3-23. And "THE THREE DAYS.(AND) THE THREE NIGHTS" of Christ's literal 72 solar hour entombment,of Matt 12:40.
Q. Are there other scriptural references to the foregoing (pre-Adamic) "WORLD THAT THEN WAS" of Gen 1:1? And the (once unfallen) angelic beings,that initially inhabited it?
A. Yes. In the following verses we are told of (then unfallen) Lucifer's exalted position,as "the angelic head" of a (pre-Adamic) civilization,with its "Headquarters" located in the (original) Garden of Eden. And,the events leading up to Lucifer's "fall",for attempting to usurp the very Throne,and Very Personage of Almighty God. An attempt that lead to "THE WAR IN HEAVEN",described in Rev Ch 12,and as follows:
Ezek 28:1-1¹ "THE WORD OF THE LORD,CAME AGAIN UNTO ME SAYING: SON OF MAN,SAY UNTO THE PRINCE OF TYRUS,(i.e.Lucifer,iî context) THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD. BECAUSE THINE HEART IS LIFTED UP,AND THOU HAST SAID,"I AM A GOD". "I SIT IN THE SEAT OF GOD,IN THE MIDST OF THE SEAS". YET THOU ART A MAN,AND NOT GOD. THOUGH THOU SET THINE HEART,AS,THE HEART OF GOD. BEHOLD,THOU ART WISER THAN DANIEL. THERE IS NO SECRET THAT THEY CAN HIDE FROM THEE. WITH THY WISDOM,AND WITH THINE UNDER- STANDING,THOU HAST GOTTEN THEE RICHES,AND HAST GOTTEN GOLD AND SILVER INTO THY TRTEASURES. BY THY GREAT WISDOM AND BY THY TRAFFIC HAST THOU INCREASED THY RICHES,AND THINE HEART IS LIFTED UP BECAUSE OF THY RICHES.
THEREFORE,SAITH THE LORD GOD. BECAUSE THOU HAST SET THINE HEART AS THE HEART OF GOD. BEHOLD THEREFORE,I WILL BRING STRANGERS UP0N THEE. THE TERRIBLE OF THE NATIONS. AND THEY SHALL DRAW THEIR SWORDS AGAINST THE BEAUTY OF THY WISDOM
AND THEY SHALL DEFILE THY BRIGHTNESS.
THEY SHALL BRING THEE DOWN TO THE PIT,AND THOU SHALT DIE THE DEATHS OF THEM THAT ARE SLAIN IN THE MIDST OF THE SEAS.
WILT THOU SAY BEFORE HIM THAT SLAYETH THEE. I AM GOD? BUT THOU SHALT BE A MAN, i.e. a created,angelic-man) AND NO GOD,IN THE HAND OF HIM THAT SLAYETH THEE. THOU.
SHALT DIE THE DEATHS OF THE UNCIRCUMCISED,BY THE HAND OF STRANGERS. FOR I HAVE SPOKEN IT,SAITH THE LORD GOD.
MOREOVER,THE WORD OF THE LORD CAME UNTO ME,SAYING. SON OF MAN,TAKE UP A LAMENTATION UPON THE KING OF TYRUS,AND SAY UNTO HIM. THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD. THOU SEALEST UP THE SUM FULL OF WISDOM,AND PERFECT IN BEAUTY,e.g. Lucifer,in context.
THOU HAST BEEN IN EDEN,THE (original) GARDEN OF GOD. EVERY PRECIOUS STONE WAS THY COVERING. THE SARDIS,TOPAZ,AND THE DIAMOND,THE BERYL,THE ONYX,AND THE JASPER THE SAPPHIRE,THE EMERALD,AND THE CARBUNCLE,AND GOLD. THE WORKMANSHIP OF THY
ABRETS AND OF THY PIPES WAS PREPARED IN THEE IN THE DAY THAT THOU WAST CREATED . (THOU ART THE ANOINTED CHERUB THAT COVERETH),AND I HAVE SET THEE SO. THOU WAST UPON THE HOLY MOUNTAIN OF GOD. THOU HAST WALKED UP AND DOWN IN THE MIDST OF THE STONES OF FIRE. (Prince of Tyrus,again called) "AN ANOINTED,ANGELIC BEING".
THOU WAS PERFECT IN THY WAYS,FROM THE DAY THAT THOU WAST CREATED,TILL INIQUI- TY WAS FOUND IN THEE. (Prince of Tyrus,here also said),TO HAVE BEEN "CREATED PERFECT"). BY THE MULTITUDE OF THY MERCHANDISE,THEY HAVE FILLED THE MIDST OF THEE WITH VIOLENCE,AND THOU HAST SINNED.
THEREFORE,I WILL CAST THEE AS PROFANE OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN OF GOD. AND I WILL DESTROY THEE (O COVERING CHERUB) FROM THE MIDST OF THE STONES OF FIRE.
THINE HEART WAS LIFTED UP BECAUSE OF THY BEAUTY. THOU HAST CORRUPTED THY WISDOM BY REASON OF THY BRIGHTNESS. I WILL CAST YOU TO THE GROUND (i.e. to planet earth,Rev 12:9). I WILL LAY THEE BEFORE KINGS,THAT THEY MAY BEHOLD THEE,i.e.in the pre-Adamic world of Gen 1:1.
THOU HAST DEFILED THY (plural) SANCTUARIES,BY THE INIQUITY OF THY TRAFFIC.THERE- FORE,I WILL BRING FORTH A FIRE FROM THE MIDST OF THEE. IT SHALL DEVOUR THEE AND I WILL BRING THEE TO ASHES UPON THE EARTH,IN THE SIGHT OF ALL THEM THAT BEHOLD THEE. ThAT of course all occured,(PRIOR TO),the creation of Adam and Eve!
ALL THEY THAT KNOW THEE AMONG THE PEOPLE SHALL BE ASTONISHED AT THEE. THOU SHALT BE A TERROR,AND NEVER SHALT THOU BE (as you were in Gen 1:1) ANYMORE".
Note: In the foregoing verses we find. That (unfallen) Lucifer,had been chosen by God,to be "the titular,angelic head",of some fabulous,pre-Adamic,angelic,commercial enterprise,i.e. in "THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS" of Gen 1:1. Licifer (then) had access,to both THE HEAVENLY "MOUNTAIN OF GOD",as well as having "an earthly headquarters",located in the (original) Garden of Eden. The "TRAFFICKING" by which (unfallen) Luci- had become inordinately wealthy! And where Lucifer's exalted position,unmatched wisdom,and beauty,among the angelic hordes of heaven,and his "UNIQUE BRIGHTNESS". Caused Lucifer,to eventually consider himself "to be equal to God Himself",and to try to usurp,The Very Throne,and Personnage,of Almighty God.
Lucifer's "sinful fall",and "heavenly warfare" against God,is further described in the following related verses:
Isa 14:12-23 "HOW ART THOU FALLEN FROM HEAVEN,O LUCIFER,SON OF THE MORNING? HOW ART THOU CUT DOWN TO THE GROUND,WHICH DIDST WEAKEN THE (pre-Adamic) NATIONS?
FOR THOU HAST SAID IN THINE HEART. I WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN. I WILL EXALT MY THRONE ABOVE THE STARS OF GOD. I WILL SIT ALSO UPON THE MOUNT OF THE CONGRE- GATION,IN THE SIDES OF THE NORTH. I WILL ASCEND ABOVE THE HEIGHTS OF THE CLOUDS. I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH. YET,THOU SHALT BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HELL,TO THE SIDES OF THE PIT. THEY THAT SEE THEE SHALL LOOK NARROWLY UPON THEE,AND CONSIDER THEE,SAYING. (IS THIS THE MAN,THAT MADE THE EARTH TO TREMBLE? THAT DID SHAKE (pre-Adamic) KINGDOMS? THAT MADE THE EARTH,(of the Gen 1:1,"WORLD THAT THEN WAS",AS A WILDERi.e.That became,"THE WASTED AND VOIDED,WORLD THAT NOW IS",of Gen 1:2. AND DESTROYED THE (pre-Adamic) CITIES THEREOF? THAT OPENED NOT THE HOUSE OF HIS PRISONERS?
ALL THE KINGS OF THE (pre-Adamic) NATIONS,EVEN (ALL OF THEM),LIE IN GLORY. EVERY ONE IN HIS OWN HOUSE. (BUT THOU ART CAST OUT OF THY GRAVE) LIKE AN ABOMINABLE
BRANCH,AND AS THE RAIMENT OF THOSE THAT ARE SLAIN. THRUST THROUGH,WITH A SWORD. THAT GO DOWN TO THE STONES OF THE PIT,AS A CARCASE TRODDEN UNDER FOOT. THOU,SHALT NOT BE JOINED WITH THEM IN BURIAL. (BECAUSE,THOU HAST DESTROYED THY LAND AND SLAIN THY PEOPLE). THE SEED OF EVILDOERS SHALL NEVER BE RENOWNED PREPARE SLAUGHTER FOR HIS CHILDREN,FOR THE INIQUITY OF THEIR FATHERS. THAT THEY DO NOT RISE,NOR POSSESS THE LAND,NOR FILL THE FACE OF THE WORLD (again) WITH CITIES.
FOR I WILL ARISE UP AGAINST THEM,SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS,AND CUT OFF FROM (pre-Adamic) BABYLON,THE NAME AND REMNANT,AND SON,AND NEPHEW,SAITH THE LORD"
Note: As in the foregoing verses,plus Ezek 28:1-19. We find the record,of the (PRE-ADAMIC) rise,and fall,of Lucifer. And,THE "WASTING AND VOIDING" of planet earth,and all of its Gen 1:1 (pre-Adamic) cities,by by fallen Lucifer,and his angelic followers. As described in Gen 1:2. Plus the fact. That Lucifer,and all of his angelic followers,were totally slain,as a result of the (pre-Adamic) "WAR OF THE HEAVENS,mentioned in Rev Ch 12. Which extended to planet earth,and causing "THE WASTING VOIDING,GLOBAL FLOODING, ND TOTAL DARKNESS",described in Gen 1:2. From (then onward),slain Satan,and his army of slain angelic followers,became disembodied,demonic spirits, spirits,while still retaining,their unique angelic power,to assume bodily form,2 Cor 11:13-15, Gen 18:1,2, Heb 13:2.
Note: That (unfallen) Lucifer was called "THE KING OF TYRE", "THE PRINCE OF TYRE","PHAROAH, KING OF EGYPT",is no mystery. In the (PRE-ADAMIC),totally angelic civilization,headed by (then unfallen) Lucifer,described in Ezek 28:1-19
as "THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS",of Gen 1:1. Many of those angelic cities,and angelic titles,were simply "resumed",in our "WORLD THAT NOW IS",of Gen 1:2. Failure to take that scriptural fact into account. Has led to the former names of cities and titles,being thought of. As (solely) applying,TO OUR "WORLD THAT NOW IS",of Gen 1:2. For example,the destroyed city of Phoenix,Arizona,was "rebuilt",upon its previous
site,and it's former name resumed,i.e. As also occured,at Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2
In Ezek Chapters 31,and 32,(unfallen) Lucifer,was referred to as "PHAROAH,KING OF EGYPT","THE ASSYRIAN,OF LEBANON",and "PHAROAH". While in Ezek Ch 28,he is also called "THE PRINCE OF TYRUS",and "THE KING OF TYRUS". Positive proof indeed,that the foregoing nations,cities,and the ruling titles of them,were ascribed to Lucifer,in the (pre-Adamic) "WORLD THAT THEN WAS",of Ge1:1. .(PRIOR TO),any of the events occuring,in the literal seven day period of Gen 1:3-28,or in "OUR WORLD THAT NOW IS",of Gen 1:2.
Failure to note,the foregoing (PRE-ADAMIC EXISTENCE),of Egypt,Assyria,Tyrus,Babylon,etc,has led many,to assign those (PRE-ADAMIC) nations,and cities,and Lucifer's ruling titles,solely to "OUR WORLD THAT NOW IS",of Gen 1:2.
When in reality,they first appeared,in the (PRE-ADAMIC),"WORLD THAT THEN WAS",of Gen 1:1. This,may be easily proven,by carefully examining the following twochapters of Ezekiel,which are set forth in symbolic,but easily recognizable form.
Ezek 31:2-18 "SON OF MAN,SPEAK UNTO PHAROAH,KING OF EGYPT (i.e. Lucifer,in context),AND TO HIS (angelic) MULTITUDE. WHOM ART THOU LIKE IN THY GREATNESS?
BEHOLD,THE ASSYRIAN,(Lucifer,in context). WAS A CEDAR IN LEBANON,WITH FAIR BRANCHES, AND WITH A SHADOWING SHROUD,AND OF AN HIGH STATURE. AND HIS TOP WAS AMONG THE THICK BOUGHS.
THE WATERS MADE HIM GREAT. THE DEEP SET HIM UP ON HIGH,WITH HER RIVERS RUNNING ROUND ABOUT HIS PLANTS,AND SENT OUT HER LITTLE RIVERS UNTO ALL THE TREES OF THE FIELD. THEREFORE,HIS HEIGHT WAS EXALTED ABOVE ABOVE ALL THE TREES OF THE FIELD,
AND HIS BOUGHS WERE MULTIPLIED,AND HIS BRANCHES BECAME LONG BECAUSE OF THE MULTITUDE OF WATERS,WHEN HE SHOT FORTH.
ALL THE FOWLS OF HEAVEN MADE THEIR NESTS IN HIS BOUGHS,AND UNDER HIS BRANCHES DID ALL THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD BRING FORTH THEIR YOUNG,(AND UNDER HIS SHADOW DWELT ALL GREAT (pre-Adamic) NATIONS). THUS WAS HE FAIR IN HIS GREATNESS. IN THE LENGTH OF HIS BRANCHES. FOR HIS ROOT,WAS BY GREAT WATERS.
(THE CEDARS,IN THE GARDEN OF GOD),COULD NOT HIDE HIM. THE FIR TREES,WERE NOT LIKE HIS BOUGHS,AND THE CHESTNUT TREES WERE NOT LIKE HIS BRANCHES. NOR ANY TREE
(IN THE GARDEN OF GOD) WAS LIKE UNTO HIM,IN HIS BEAUTY,e.g.Ezek 28:17.
I HAVE MADE HIM FAIR,BY THE MULTITUDE OF HIS BRANCHES,(SO THAT ALL THE TREES OF (the original) EDEN,THAT WERE IN THE GARDEN OF GOD) ENVIED HIM. Now,we go from unfallen Lucifer's reign,in the (pre-Adamic,original) Garden of Eden. To Lucifer's fall,and subsequent death,as follows:
THEREFORE,THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD. BECAUSE THOU HAST LIFTED UP THYSELF IN HEIGHT. AND HE HATH SHOT UP HIS TOP AMONG THE THICK BOUGHS. AND HIS HEART IS LIFTED UP IN HIS HEIGHT. I HAVE THEREFORE DELIVERED HIM INTO THE HAND OF THE MIGHTY ONE OF THE (pre-Adamic) HEATHEN. HE SHALL SURELY DEAL WITH HIM. I HAVE
DRIVEN HIM OUT FOR HIS WICKEDNESS".
AND STRANGERS,THE TERRIBLE OF THE (pre-Adamic) NATIONS,HAVE CUT HIM OFF,AND HAVE LEFT HIM. UPON THE MOUNTAINS,AND IN ALL THE VALLEYS,HIS BRANCHES ARE FALLEN,AND HIS BOUGHS ARE BROKEN BY ALL THE RIVERS OF THE LAND. AND ALL THE (pre-Adamic,angelic) PEOPLE OF THE EARTH ARE GONE DOWN FROM HIS SHADOW,AND HAVE LEFT HIM. UPON HIS RUIN SHALL ALL THE FOWLS OF HEAVEN REMAIN,AND ALL THE BEASTS OF THE FIELD SHALL BE UPON HIS BRANCHES. TO THE END,THAT NONE OF ALL THE TREES BY THE WATERS EXALT THEMSELVES FOR THEIR HEIGHT. NEITHER SHOOT UP THEIR TOP AMONG THE THICK BOUGHS. NEITHER THEIR TREES STAND UP IN THEIR HEIGHT,ALL THAT DRINK WATER. Now note this. FOR THEY ARE (ALL) DELIVERED UNTO DEATH,TO THE NETHER PARTS OF THE EARTH. IN THE MIDST OF THE CHILDREN OF MEN. WITH THEM THAT GO DOWN TO THE PIT. THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD. (IN THE DAY WHEN HE WENT DOWN TO THE GRAVE,
A MOURNING. I COVERED THE DEEP FOR HIM,AND I RESTRAINED THE FLOODS THEREOF,AND THE GREAT WATERS (of Gen 1:2),WERE STAYED AND I CAUSED LEBANON TO MOURN FOR HIM,AND ALL THE TREES OF THE FIELD FAINTED FOR HIM. I MADE THE (pre-Adamic) NATIONS TO SHAKE AT THE SOUND OF HIS FALL,WHEN I CAST HIM DOWN TO HELL,WITH THEM THAT DESCEND INTO THE PIT. AND ALL THE TREES OF EDEN,THE CHOICE AND BEST OF LEBANON. ALL THAT DRINK WATER SHALL BE COMFORTED IN THE NETHER PARTS OF THE EARTH. THEY ALSO WENT DOWN INTO HELL,WITH THEM THAT BE SLAIN WITH THE SWORD. AND THEY THAT WERE HIS ARM,THAT DWELT UNDER HIS SHADOW,IN THE MIDST OF THE HEATHEN.
TO WHOM ART THOU THUS LIKE,IN GLORY AND IN GREATNESS,AMONG THE TREES OF EDEN?
(YET,SHALL THOU BE BROUGHT DOWN WITH THE TREES OF EDEN,UNTO THE NETHER PARTS OF THE EARTH). THOU SHALT LIE IN THE MIDST OF THE UNCIRCUMCISED,WITH THEM THAT BE SLAIN BY THE SWORD. (THIS IS PHAROAH),i.e. Lucifer,in context,AND (ALL) HIS (angelic) MULTITUDE",SAITH THE LORD GOD". In the foregoing verses,"TREES" were used,in a symbolic sense,to describe the (PRE-ADAMIC) angelic beings,of Gen 1:1,who occupied the (original) Garden of Eden.
Those slain,"ANGELIC TREES",and Satan,AS "THE TREE,OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL",still retained their unique angelic power,to assume bodily form. And having been "CAST OUT OF THEIR GRAVES",Isa 14:18-20,they next appeared,in God's newly re-planted) Garden of Eden,of Gen 2:8-17. For example,see 2 Cor 11:13-15.
It was in that (newly re-planted) Garden of Eden,OF "OUR WORLD THAT NOW IS",of Gen 1:2. That Christ,in Angelic form,together with a host of His (unfallen) angelic "TREE" beings. Was said to be "THE TREE OF LIFE",e.g. Gen 2:8-17.
It was also in that (newly replanted) Garden of Eden,OF "OUR WORLD THAT NOW IS",of Gen 1:2. That God chose to place,His newly created species of "mankind",i.e "human-kind",called Adam and Eve. And gave them "a free moral agency choice",to either choose Him,AS "THE TREE OF LIFE". Or,to choose fallen Luci- fer,AS "THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL". Gen Ch 3,records that solemn event.
The point being. The foregoing is "a triple account" of the rise and fall,of Lucifer,and his having inflicted THE WASTE,AND VOID,AND TOTAL DARKNESS",on planet earth,of Gen 1:2. His having been slain,but then cast out of his grave. And his (already fallen position),when he appeared to seduce Adam and Eve,in the (re- planted) Garden of Eden,(as) the subtil serpent,ANGELIC BEING,of 2 Cor 11:13-15; MEANS. That the (original) creation of planet earth,did not occur (DURING) the literal seven days,set forth in Gen 1;3-28. But occured,sometime in the dateless past,OF "THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS",of Gen 1:1.
Yes,it should be noted. That (unfallen) Lucifer,was "headquartered" in the (original) Garden of Eden of "THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS",of Gen 1:1. And (after his fall,and his extended "WAR ON HEAVEN"),he reappeared,in the (re-planted) Garden of Eden,in his "fallen role",AS "THE ANGELIC,DECEIVING SERPENT ,SATAN",of Gen Ch 3. In the following related verses,of Ezek Ch 32,Satan,is called "PHAROAH,KING
OF EGYPT" in context. His (PRE-ADAMIC FALL),is further described (including the precise day,that all (PRE-ADAMIC) dinosaurs,pterodactyls,mammoth elephants,saber toothed tigers,and all other (pre-historic) beasts),were totally destroyed.
Ezek 32:2-16 "SON OF MAN,TAKE UP A LAMENTATION FOR PHAROAH,KING OF EGYPT.AND SAY UNTO HIM. THOU ART LIKE A YOUNG LION OF THE (pre-Adamic) NATIONS. AND THOU ART AS A WHALE IN THE SEAS. AND THOU CAMEST FORTH WITH THY RIVERS AND TROUBLEDST THE WATERS WITH THY FEET,AND FOULEDST THEIR RIVERS.
THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD. I WILL THEREFORE,SPREAD OUT MY NET OVER THEE,WITH A COMPANY OF MANY PEOPLE. AND THEY SHALL BRING THEE UP IN MY NET. THEN,WILL I LEAVE THEE UPON THE LAND. I WILL CAST THEE FORTH UPON THE OPEN FIELD,AND WILL CAUSE ALL OF THE FOWLS OF THE HEAVEN TO REMAIN UPON THEE,AND I WILL FILL THE BEASTS OF THE WHOLE EARTH WITH THEE. AND I WILL LAY THY FLESH UPON THE MOUNTAINS,AND FILL THE VALLEYS WITH THY HEIGHT. I WILL ALSO WATER WITH THY BLOOD THE LAND WHEREIN THOU SWIMMEST. EVEN TO THE MOUNTAINS. AND THE RIVERS SHALL BE FULL OF THEE. Now,carefully note,the following precise day,that God destroyed (all) of the
prehistoric beasts,of "THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS",of Gen 1:1,i.e. as follows
"(AND WHEN I SHALL PUT THE OUT). I WILL COVER THE HEAVEN,AND MAKE THE STARS THEREOF DARK. I WILL COVER THE SUN WITH A CLOUD,AND THE MOON SHALL NOT GIVE HER LIGHT.
ALL THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF HEAVEN WILL I MAKE DARK OVER THEE,AND SET DARKNESS UPON THY LAND,SAITH THE LORD,i.e.precisely as so occured,at Gen 1:2.
I WILL ALSO VEX THE HEARTS OF MANY PEOPLE,WHEN I SHALL BRING THY DESTRUCTION AMONG THE (pre-Adamic) NATIONS,INTO THE (pre-Adamic) COUNTRIES WHICH THOU HAST NOT KNOWN. YEA,I WILL MAKE MANY PEOPLE AMAZED AT THEE,e.g. Isa 14:15-17.
AND THEIR KINGS SHALL BE HORRIBLY AFRAID FOR THEE,WHEN I SHALL BRANDISH MY SWORD BEFORE THEM. AND THEY SHALL TREMBLE AT EVERY MOMENT,EVERY MAN FOR HIS OWN LIFE,(IN THE DAY OF THY FALL),e.g vs 7.
FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD. THE SWORD OF THE KING OF BABYLON IS COME UPON THEE. BY THE SWORDS OF THE MIGHTY WILL I CAUSE THE MULTITUDE TO FALL. THE TERR- IBLE OF THE (pre-Adamic) NATIONS (ALL OF THEM).
AND THEY SHALL SPOIL THE POMP OF (pre-Adamic) EGYPT. AND,(ALL THE MULTITUDE OF THEM SHALL BE DESTROYED). Now carefully note this. I WILL DESTROY ALSO (ALL) THE (prehistoric) BEASTS THEREOF,(i.e."IN THE DAY OF THY FALL FROM HEAVEN",in context),FROM BESIDE THE GREAT WATERS. NEITHER,SHALL THE FOOT OF MAN TROUBLE THEM,(i.e. the prehistoric beasts) ANY MORE. NOR THE HOOFS OF OF BEASTS TROUBLE THEM". WHEN I SHALL MAKE (pre-Adamic) EGYPT DESOLATE. AND THE COUNTRY SHALL BE DESTITUTE OF THAT WHERWITH IT WAS FULL. WHEN I SHALL SMITE (ALL) THEM THAT DWELL THEREIN,i.e.the "WASTING,AND VOIDING",of planet earth,by the cataclysmic WAR BETWEEN GOD AND LUCIFER, whose "horrendous effects" were described in Gen 1:2, Isa Ch 24, Ezek Ch 24,etc. .
Or as Christ Jesus describe the Gen 1:2,"WASTING AND VOIDING",of planet earth,in Matt 31:28,"AN ENEMY,HATH DONE THIS". See also Isa 14:15-17.
Q. Where does it state in Holy Writ,(HOW),God chose to stop Lucifer's "WASTING AND VOIDING" of planet earth,described in Gen 1:2?
A. Isa 24:1-23,"BEHOLD,THE LORD MAKETH THE EARTH EMPTY,AND MAKETH IT WASTE,AND TURNETH IT UPSIDE DOWN,AND SCATTERETH ABROAD THE (angelic) INHABITANTS THEREOF. THE LAND,SHALL BE UTTERLY EMPTY,AND UTTERLY SPOILED,as so described in Gen 1:2. FEAR, AND THE PIT,AND THE SNARE,ARE UPON THEE,O (angelic) INHABITANT OF THE EARTH. FOR THE WINDOWS FROM ON HIGH ARE OPEN,AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH DO SHAKE. THE EARTH,IS UTTERLY BROKEN DOWN. THE EARTH IS CLEAN DISSOLVED. THE EARTH IS
MOVED EXCEEDINGLY,(i.e. out of its regular orbit). THE EARTH,SHALL REEL TO AND FRO,LIKE A DRUNKARD. AND SHALL BE REMOVED,(out of orbit),LIKE A COTTAGE. AND THE TRANSGRESS- ION (i.e.of Lucifer,and 1/3rd of God's angelic beings),SHALL BE HEAVY UPON IT". AND IT SHALL FALL,AND NOT RISE AGAIN",to its (original) created beauty,of Eccl3:11.
Therere it is. God turned planet earth upside down. By instantly,reversing the North and South Poles. God,then instantly,caused planet earth to spin completely out of control,and to be removed somewhere,into the total "DARKNESS" of outer space. God,then caused the windows of heaven,to be opened. And the (first) global flooding of planet earth immediately occured. As also later occured,in the (second) global,Noahic flood,of Gen Ch 8,when the above,caused "DARKNESS",to completely cover planet earth. Since it no longer remained in its normal orbit,around its light giving sun.
In that one moment,on the day of Satan's "fall" from heaven,that caused all angelic life to cease,and that of (all) prehistoric creatures,to instantly perish. The "TOTAL DARKNESS",of earth's removed position,into outer space,would have created,AN INSTANT "ICE AGE". We are not told,precisely how long,God permitted planet earth,to remain in its Gen 1:2 "WASTED,VOIDED,AND DARKENED",outer space orbit.
We are told. That beginning with Gen 1:3. God returned planet earth to its former orbit around the sun,and the "diffused light",that still lingered,because of the atmospheric clouding,caused by the celestial warfare,described in Rev Ch 12.
As stated earlier in this study. God,then caused the global flood waters to recede,causing earth's dry land to "re-appear". He then,completely dispelled the earth's foregoing atmospheric pollution,thus "LETTING" the sun, moon,and stars shed their "full light",upon planet earth. Which,caused the (dormant) vegetation of planet earth,to once again,"BRING FORTH",its former,flood covered vegetation.
God,then "re-populated" planet earth,with a new species of fish,bird,cattle,and animal life. And a new species of "dirt-man" to rule it,called Adam and Eve, It is this author's studied opinion. That The Great Pyramids of Egypt,and the enourmous statues on The Virgin Isle,Stonehinge,and other works (that can not be structurally explained).Were a product of the PRE-ADAMIC angeLic civilization of "THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS" of Gen 1:1. Being built by,(the ]uper-human) strength,of angelic beings),that exceeded 9'in height. And,who could possibly have exercised "angelic powers of levitation",or simply angelic strength,far exceeding that of any "human" limitations.
"IN SUMMATION"
1. Those who believe in "the old creation" of planet earth,by Almighty God,are (chronologically),and thus (scripturally) correct.
2. Those who believe in "the new creation" of planet earth by Almighty God,i.e in the events covered by Gen 1:3-28,are chronologically and scripturally incorrect.
3. "IN THE BEGINNING",of Gen 1:1,at some point in time and place,in the undated past,"GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH",in Godly Perfection,Eccl 3:11.
4. In 2 Peter 3:5,6,Peter called the (original) creation of Gen 1:1 "THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS".
5. In Gen 1:2,some great cataclysmic event,is said to have caused that (original) WORLD THAT THEN WAS" of Gen 1:1,to "(BECOME) WASTED,VOIDED OF LIFE,COVERED BY A GLOBAL FLOOD,AND (ENVELOPED),BY AN IMPENETRABLE DARKNESS",beyond physical description. .
6. In 2 Peter 3:7,Peter refers to the foregoing,as happening to "OUR WORLD THAT NOW IS",of Gen 1:2.
7. In Ezek Ch 28,and Isa 14:12-24,we are told. That the (original) planet earth was inhabited solely,by God's (PRE-ADAMIC) created angelic beings,headed by God's most powerful (then unfallen) angelic,called Lucifer. Whose "earthl y headquarters",was located in The (original) Garden of Eden,of Gen 1:1.
8. In these same scriptures,we are told. That Lucifer "fell",when he,and 1/3 rd of God's angelic beings,chose to try to replace God,by usurping The Heavenly Throne of God.
9. A "WAR IN HEAVEN",then ensued. Resulting in Lucifer's being cast into planet earth,where he then wreaked the havoc,UPON "THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS",of Gen 1:1,as graphically described in Gen 1:2,and elsewhere in Holy Writ.
10. Lucifer,and (all) of the fallen angelic beings,were totally slain,in the foregoing "interplanatory war". Later on,they were cast out of their graves. And as angelic,demonic spirits,they continue to inhabit,and plague,OUR "WORLD THAT NOW IS",of Gen 1:2. And "need to seek embodiement" to do so,Matt 8:28-34.
11. In Gen 1:3-28. No (original) act of Godly creation,is either stated,or implied. God (then) simply "re-plenish- ed",and "re-filled up again" OUR "WORLD THAT NOW IS",of Gen 1:2,with "a new species" of both man,and beasts. Questions,one needs to ask,and answer,concerning the following study,i.e. by doing as the Apostle Paul suggested,in 1 Cor 2:13, "BY COMPARING SPIRITUAL,WITH SPIRITUAL"--"BY PERMITTING THE WORD OF GOD ALONE,TO INTRPRET AND EXPLAIN,THE WORD OF GOD.
And by also doing,as did The Noble Bereans,of Acts 17:11; "WHO RECEIVED THE WORD OF GOD,WITH ALL READINESS OF MIND,AND SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY. WHETHER CERTAIN THINGS CLAIMED BY OTHERS,WERE SO".--OR NOT SO.
1. Did Lucifer's "fall" occur prior to,or following,the creation of Adam and Eve?
2. Did (fallen) Lucifer launch a literal,intergalactical warfare,against God?
3. Did this occur prior to,or following,the creation of Adam and Eve?
4. When,and where does it state,that Lucifer,and 1/3rd of God's rebellious angels, were cast out of heaven.
5. When,and where does it state,that (all pre-historic beasts) were destroyed (on the day),that Lucifer and his angelic followers were cast out of heaven?
6. Since all of God's created angelic beings,were first created with visible bodies. Why do we not now "see" fallen Lucifer,nor any of the other 1/3rd of his angelic followers,who were cast into planet earth?
7. Does it not state,in Isa 14:18-22, Isa 27:1, Ezek 28:6-10, and Ezek Ch 29,thru Ezek Ch 31,that Lucifer (i.e. Satan),and his angelic followers,were slain?
8. Did the foregoing slaying of Satan,and his angelic followers,occur prior to? Or following? The creation of Adam and Eve?
9. Can all angelic beings assume a male,bodily form,including the disembodied angelic spirits of slain Satan,and his slain angelic folowers?
10. Was (unfallen) Lucifer,the titular head of some pre-Adamic,totally angelic civilization,that was then "headquartered",in the (original) Garden of Eden?
11. Does not Ezek Ch 28,29,30,and 31,(taken in context),say that very thing?
12. Since "THE EVENING (AND) THE MORNING",of Gen 1:3,"started" the first,24 hour,12 hour "DAY",and the first 12 hour "NIGHT". What occured at Gen 1:14-16?
13. Since God cast fallen Lucifer into planet earth,i.e. at his pre-Adamic fall. Why would planet earth "need to be re-created",i.e, at Gen 1:3-28?
14. Did God originally create the universe,including planet earth. The"WASTED,VOIDED,TOTALLY DARK- ENED,GLOBALLY FLOODED",planet earth,of Gen 1:2?
15. Or. Is God said to have created planet earth,in Godly perfection, and due to the indescribable celestial warfare between God and Lucifer; "IT BECAME THE WASTED,VOIDED,GLOBALLY DARKENED, GLOBALLY FLOODED" PLANET EARTH,of Gen 1:2?
16. Did not God give us "the rainbow",as a Godly promise,that planet earth would never again be destroyed by global flooding,i.e.as that occuring at Gen 1:2,or Gen Ch 8 & 9,or elsewhere in Holy Writ? (That planet earth's "end" will be "by fire",means that Gen 1:2, and Gen Ch 8 & 9,can not be said to describe earth's "final,fiery demise",of 2 Pet 3:10-12.
17. If the pre-historic dinosaurs,pterodactyls,saber-toothed tigers,mastadons, were a portion of "OUR WORLD THAT NOW IS",of Gen 1:2; and,it states in Gen 6:19,20¬and Gen 7:1-9,that "OF EVERY LIVING THING,OF ALL FLESH; TWO OF EVERY SORT,SHALT THOU BRING INTO THE ARK--". Why did not Noah include two each,of the foregoing pre-historic beasts and birds,and preserve them thereafter? Moses,(obviously) did not do so,because they had all (obviously) perished (sometime prior),to the events recorded---from Gen 1:1,3 onward),
18. Why is it,that nowhere,from Gen 1:3 onward,is there any great cataclysmic event recorded,describing the total destruction of these pre-historic beasts;and that in Ezek Ch 32,this is said to have occured,the day of Satan's "fall"?
19. Does not "THE EVENING (AND) THE MORNING",of the 7 days of Gen1:3-28,(as also used of "THE THREE DAYS (AND THREE NIGHTS",of Christ's entombment,of Matt 12:40 thereby define them,as having been the (literal) 12 hour solar days,(and) 12 hour solar nights,described in John 11:9?
