Genesis 1; Verses 1-2; The First Heaven and Earth Age

6,000 year old Earth? They call this the gap theory in many circles. The only theory, which is a lie is a 6k yr old Earth. Tradition, traditions, and science so called that is false--that make God's Word null and void. Once again, this is up and down the Bible. We call can look around and see the earth is not 6,000 years old. The shame is we should be using the Lord's creation to the strength and confirmation of His Word. As He is the creator and author of science. God's Word teaches 3 Heaven and Earth ages. (Proverbs 8 also huge on this). We are currently in the 2nd age (aion from the Greek), the flesh age. Please refer to the archive study Genesis 1:3-5 (first day in the flesh) to further put this together.

Thank you for taking a look †


(Genesis 1:1-2) "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

This time period is the first Earth Age. satan's rebellion against THE LORD. satan certainly rebelled before Genesis 1:2 (way before the Garden of Eden). Of course, at satan's rebellion 1/3 of the angels followed him to come to be known as the fallen angels.

Each individual was created, their soul and spirit in the first earth age as there was no flesh. God destroyed the Earth by flood (Jeremiah 4 and II Peter 3:5-6). Their soul (themselves) and spirit are placed in the womb by the Lord at conception. Now also watch out for false teachers who teach reincarnation. We have never been in the flesh before for that to happen.

All this will be below. Once we get the following established:

2And the earth was without form (laid waste, from the Hebrew Tohu va-bohu), and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."

(The mistranslation of the word was. The word is always used past tense here).

In this verse, And the earth was (became, came to pass), without form (Hebrew, tohu va bohu, not created tohuw, not “was” tohuw, but became tohuw), and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. The phrase ‘without form’ in the Hebrew is ‘tohuw’, meaning to ‘lie waste, a desolation, vain’. And the word ‘void’ is ‘bohuw’ in the Hebrew, meaning 'an indistinguishable ruin.' 

So we put it together properly rendered, "the Earth became waste."

(Jeremiah 4:23) "I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light."

(The same time period as Genesis 1:1. The earth became waste here! Let's see what else?

(Jeremiah 4:24-27) "I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.

The earth and it's topography and geography was already here!

25I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.

26I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.(There were cities? inhabited? Mountains (wonder why all the fossils found)? hills? everything fled His presence as He destroyed the Earth here. He did not kill His creation).

(Isaiah 45:18) "For thus saith 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."

God did not create the Earth to be uninhabited. What purpose would that be? In other words, He does created anything to just sit there not for usage.

Back to Jeremiah 4:27,

27For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end."


Now let's move down to when God made the races (mankind). The purpose here is to establish the first Earth Age.

(Genesis 1:28) "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
The word replenish? to fill again. Because we were here before (the First Earth Age). Just like Jeremiah 4:22-28 states.

(Ephesians 1:4) "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love."

(The word foundation from the Greek is katabole means overthrow. This is the first Earth age of course where 1/3 of the Angels followed satan. Becoming fallen angels because of that:

(Revelation 12:4) "And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born."

satan tried to overthrow God (Isaiah 14, satan said he will ascend above the clouds, meaning all of the Lord's creation).

How true is this? there will be scoffers (denying the obvious, dinosaurs, fossil record, the pangea, etc). At this holding onto their traditions of a 6,000 year old Earth. Let's stop the nonsense.

This is not Noah's flood. This is the first Earth Age:

(II Peter 3:5-6) "For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

Let's look at this. They are WILLINGLY ignorant. As stated in the beginning here we ALL know the earth is not 6,000 years old.

6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished."

(Totally destroyed--laid waste. The earth became waste and void. The same time period in Jeremiah 4 where the Lord said He would not make a full end).

(II Peter 3:3-4) "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

(They certainly scoff at this. They call it a theory. But as we see they are backwards. It takes one verse in God's Word for them to accomplish this. Other false doctrines come in such as the rapture/pre trib rapture because of the same methods and not being able to teach God's Word, but their own word(s).

4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."

(Why would they say this? the ignorance of not knowing God's plan. Not knowing  His plan in chronological order. Thus they cannot even know their enemy, they don't even know what satan did to cause all this mess. The failure to study and follow one verse and make up their stuff. They cannot get any connection. Filling the gaps in God's Word. As there is no gaps, but there are when all you do is teach one verse here, one verse there then your own words for an hour).

(II Peter 3:9) "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
(All in all the knowing the prior 2 ages and the one to come the 3rd, that being the eternity. Shows the exhaustive long-suffering of the Lord over His creation. Important to know for any "theological" discussion concerning the "character" of God. How He deals with His creation all throughout HIStory).

Let's get a quick reference and view of Ezekiel of satan's rebellion and why,

(Ezekiel 28:14-15) "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.

15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee."

satan wanted to rule and be God over all of God's creation. He was to be a priest. A priest teaches God's Word to God's people. satan failed.

(Isaiah 14:13-14) "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 congregation, in the sides of the north:

14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High."

The last point here. And we will continue these point in posts to come.

Check this out:

This is the third day,

(Genesis 1:9) "And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so."

The waters from the flood in II Peter and Jeremiah 4! As stated the topography was here. And of course when He was done filling the earth again he told mankind to replenish the earth as stated above.

Thanks for enjoying this study with us. You won't want to miss the rest of Genesis 1.There is absolutely no way putting this together verse by verse one can longer believe the earth is 6,000 years old. We need to use His science correctly. As we see the connection putting together God's plan from start to finish begins here. You cannot understand the end (Revelation), until you understand the beginning (Genesis). 

Amen †
