Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”
Heavens (plural) Hebrew #8064 “To be lofty, sky, alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, air, astrology.
Greek #3772 Matthew 19:12 “For there are eunuch’s (who from their mother’s womb) were born so, and there are eunuch’s, who were made eunuch’s by men, And there are eunuch’s who have made (themselves) eunuch’s (for the sake of the kingdom of the Heavens {plural, more than one, the sky, happiness, power, eternal}.
2 Corinthians 12:2, “I know a man in Christ, Who (fourteen years ago) Whether in the body I know not, or out of the body, I know not, (God = Yahweh) knows. Such a one as this (caught away) as far as the third heaven.” (Apparently there are many heavens. Infinite)
Earth = SEC #776 “erets” (Hebrew), “earth, field, ground, land
#7493 and #7494} earthquake, noise, confusion, fierceness, rattling, rushing.
Genesis 1:2, “Now the earth (land, ground) had become waste and wild and darkness was on the face of the roaring deep, but the Spirit of God was brooding on the face of the waters.”
Brooding – Hebrew word rachaph, to brood, relax, flutter (Deuteronomy 32:11) and shake (Jeremiah 23:9) Here we have the beginning of the heavens and earth which are now Genesis 3:31, 2:1-25, 2 Peter 3:5-8) DARB. In other words, to hover above.
Water – We have the existence of the earth, darkness, and waters before day 1. (Lucifer’s flood that occurred after Lucifer’s fall when sin was found in him). Psalm 104:5-9, 2 Peter 3:5-9. The Sin of Lucifer Isaiah 14:12-14, Jeremiah 4:23-26, Ezekiel 28:11-17, Luke 10:19. Apparently water was over the earth (Psalm 104:5-9), and the earth was dry, and the water hovered (or fluttered) above the earth in the atmosphere. Lucifer was the governor of the earth at the time sin was found in him (Sin was not found in Adam and Eve. They chose to sin. With them sin was from the outside, while Lucifer’s sin was from the inside. Lucifer and the angels that followed him cannot be redeemed for this reason).
Note: footnote to REB “K” 2nd paragraph, “Now the earth had become waste and wild, probably by a previous catastrophy. God said, thus a renewing of creation, or re-creating. The Divine acts commenced. We are in the second creation.
Genesis 1:3 “And God said light be, and light was. And God saw the light, that it was good, and God divided the light from the darkness and God called the light day, but the darkness called he night. So it was evening – and it was morning – one day.” (REB)
God = El-0-heem #430 SEC plural of #433 = God in the ordinary sense but specifically used in the plural. Occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates. and sometimes as a superlative: angels x exceeding, God (gods), great, judges, x mighty Psalm 82:1-3, “God (#430) hath taken his place in the august assembly (in the assembly of God) In the midst of the gods (#430). #433 SEC = el-o-ah = rarely, a deity or the Deity.
This established the Solar day. The day began in the evening at 6pm and lasted until the next evening 6pm to bring in the next day. The Bible states that Jesus Christ was crucified at the third hour (Mark 15:25) he died at the 9th hour (Mark 15:34). The reason for this supposed disparity is because the day was broken up into two 12 hour parts. 6pm to 6am, 6am to 6pm. Christ’s crucifixion was at the 3rd hour (Mark 15:25) or 9am, and he died at the 9th hour or 3pm.
God worked six days and rested on the 7th (the Sabbath). Because of Constantine the Great we make the beginning of the next year on January 1st, when in reality the first day of the next year was after March 20th, or the spring equinox, March 21st which is the Sabbath. March 20th stays the same, but the Sabbath changes each year. This year the Sabbath is on a Thursday. The Hebrews went by the solar calendar not the lunar calendar.
God created all things upon the original first creation. The creation that Satan, when he was known as Lucifer, was responsible for, and governor of. Since sin was found in Lucifer (his name was changed to Satan, or accuser), the first creation was destroyed (ice age), and God created a second creation. In other words, the earth is not 6,000 years old, but the creation that we are living in is. This is why Archaeologists and Anthropologists have found artifact’s that are thousands of years older that 6,000 years. In fact, the Discovery Channel even made a DVD called, “Ice Age Columbus Who were the First Americans?” which proves that white Europeans were first on the North American continent. They were known as the Selutrians, and they were in North America 6,000 years before the Indians arrived. They were in the first creation and experienced the ice age which some think was produced by Satan when he lost his throne. Satan is called the god of this world (age) (II Corinthians 4:4).
