* Let's try to find out
WHO or
WHAT caused
that destruction *
Isaiah 45: 18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heaven; GOD himself 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.
* formed 3335.
yatsar,
yaw-tsar'; prob. identical with H3334
(through the squeezing into
shape); ([comp. H3331]),
to mould into a form; espec. as a potter; fig. to determine (i.e.
form a resolution):-- X earthen, fashion, form, frame, make (-r),
potter, purpose.
Hebrews 11: 3 Through
faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of
GOD, so that things which are seen were not made of things which
do appear.
Genesis 1: 2 And the earth was without* form*, and void*; and darkness * was upon the face of the deep.
without * form 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.
* void 922. bohuw, bo-hoo; from an unused root (mean. to be empty); a vacuity, i.e. (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin:--emptiness, void.
* darkness 2822. choshek , kho-shek'; from H2821; the dark; hence (lit.) darkness; fig. misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness:--dark (-ness), night, obscurity.
The word "was " ( hayah ) in the Hebrew language means " became ", and the words " without form and void" ( tohuw va bohuw ) means a vain, empty, wicked and confused wilderness. The earth became void, GOD did not create it that way! Something or someone caused utter confusion to come upon the earth.
Lucifer, that covering cherub, was that "darkness ". He caused the destruction of that first world age. He was one of GOD's most beautiful and wise sons. He became vain (proud and conceited ) and wanted to be as GOD. He pulled one third of the sons of GOD with him and caused them to follow him, instead of loving our Father.
Our Father was so hurt by this, that He had no choice but to end that first world age. He loves his children so much, that instead of destroying their souls, He would allow them to be born innocent through the womb of woman, in this second, or ( flesh ) world age.
It is this, the present age in which we now live, that all souls have the choice to love GOD or follow Satan. Satan, the devil, that old serpent, plays many different roles. He is very sneaky! You can protect yourself and have power over Satan and his evil spirits by putting on the " Gospel Armour ". That armour is not a physical suit or weapon, but the WORD OF GOD. His word will protect you and teach you Satan's method of operation so that you will not be deceived and perish with the devil at the end of this world age.
There is a third world age, the eternity, which will be paradise. If you follow our Father's word and learn of His plan, you will be rewarded for your works. But, those who are deceived by Satan, will be cast with him into that lake of fire. WHO, will you follow? Satan, the destroyer, or GOD, the creator of your very soul.
Romans 13: 12 The
night is far spent, the
day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness,
and let us put on the armour of light.
Ephesians 6: 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
The earth "became" void. That "darkness" was Satan, which caused such confusion!
king of Tyrus full of wisdom and beauty; Thou hast been in Eden, Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; Ezekiel 28: 12 - 14
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed * into an angel of light. II Corinthians 11:14
- * transformed

to transfigure or disguise;
But when ye shall see the
abomination of desolation
spoken of by Daniel the prophet;
Mark 13: 14
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning; Isaiah 14: 12
prince of Tyrus Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said ' I am a GOD, I sit in the seat of GOD, Ezekiel 28: 2
that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; II Thessalonians 2: 3
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 earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Revelation 12:9
