The History of Creation
• Time As We Know It
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.”
Genesis 1:1-2 NKJV
As created beings we have a beginning, unlike God who has always been. This key fact is hard for our earthly reasoning to understand. In turn due to us having a day that we were given life and brought into existence. In short I can tell you what I know, this isn’t GOD’s first time creating and giving life. If you think the time and space we currently live in are His one and only production, well you’re sadly mistaken. Just as the man job from in the Bible, when he questioned the Creator Himself. GOD told him kindly and truthfully the answer we should know when our earthly minds question creation itself.
GOD said: “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?”
Job 38:4-7 NKJV
If you look at the universe as we understand it in present time with the advancement of space technology and telescopes reaching further beyond than ever before, you will see something that you can’t explain or put limits on. Some will say we happen by chance or the ever so popular phrase “can we really even know if there is a God”. When we hear these words spoken by some we must understand that those who speak these things in reality are placing limits on The Creator Himself.
Around four to six thousand years ago the descendants of Adam and Eve walked the earth as did Noah in the later. Then the flood came due to darkness filling the people of the world. Noah held close to his faith in the one God whom gives life. As years pass from generation to generation so do stories of the past. The people of Israel held to the knowledge of God, writing and documenting the history of the past. If you look closely you will see a people who GOD directly inspired and spoke through. I ask you to take a look into the past and you will see the future with clarity.
The Command That Started it All
• It’s Hard To See In The Dark
Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.”
Genesis 1:3-5 NKJV
Picture this, you walk into a room ready to begin work. Whats the first thing you do? You “turn the light on” not because you’re afraid of the dark but because when you can see it’s much easier to work and it helps you see the fine details of exactly what you’re working on. We can see God doing the same thing here in the beginning of this universe as we call it. Yes some may say this is just using the word “light” in a visual sense. I myself find that when God speaks it more vast than we can truly comprehend.
We must remember we’re in a fallen world, a world that He placed the ones who rebelled in heaven and caused hurt and division. So with knowing that we can trace it back to when God began this segment in time. In the darkness He called for Light. This place in time was meant to bring glory to GOD, for His righteousness, for His grace and for His mercy. He knew the name of every last soul who was destined for this place. There are no surprises to Him. He set the foundations for the future and for the past.
We all wonder silently in our mind, “why is this world so complex” or “why does this world seem so confused“. Well if we look at the history of time made available to us in the scriptures we can put the words in order. God knew of the darkness growing in the hearts of some in heaven before it all happened. He knew something would take seed in creation to bring confusion and chaos. As He gave us all here on earth free will, so did He those in heaven. The real question at hand is one we must ask ourselves….. will we stand up for the truth of what’s truly right. Inside of us is the hope and the framework to trust GOD and who He is.
This may scare us somewhat when we look at the bigger picture of this part of creation. That God has thrown down to earth the spirits that denied Him and His goodness. As we must know like it is written in scripture they too will be judged on that final day. We are in a position where we can choose life or death on this earth. He wouldn’t place you somewhere in harms way, He placed you here to learn of not only His un-measurable greatness but also His unending love. So like GOD command in the very beginning of this time and space we should do in our hearts. He is at the door telling you “Let There Be Light”
