Godsplan
the second earth age or Flesh age.
OK; now that we
can see that there was an earth age before this one, chronologically transpiring
between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, let's examine why there had to be the second
age. (Our present one, this flesh age). There
is very little written of that first earth age, but we will examine a couple
of places where it is spoken of. The key to understanding that there was an earth age before this
one, is in understanding why God destroyed that first earth age and created
this one. God does not do anything
without a reason, and in understanding why He destroyed that first earth age
we can know; with a surety, that it did in fact; once exist.

Genesis 1:1 - 1:5:
Gen 1:1. In the beginning God
created the heaven and the earth.
The Hebrew has 'eth' before heaven and earth, emphasising
each "the" article before both. This treatment makes a distinction
between the state of the earth in Genesis 1:2. In other words, as we'll
find out in the next verse, this creation of the heaven (heavens, plural in the
Hebrew), and the earth, is the very first forming of the universe by God
(Elohiym here in Hebrew).
When God accomplished this, no one truly knows how long
ago, but scientists can document that this old earth is literally thousands and
thousands of years old. There is no disagreement here with God's Word.1
Gen 1:2 And the earth was
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.
This word 'Spirit' is 'ruwach' in Hebrew, and it means
'wind, by resemblance breath' (Strong's no. 7307). This is when God's Spirit
'spoke', starting the cleansing of that state of 'ruin' and began this earth
age (Flesh Age) we are now in. This act is also referred to in...
John 3:3-8,
Read All.
Romans: 8.
You'll also see this 'ruwach' translated as the 'four
winds' in several places in the King James Version.
I call your
attention to this phrase "the face of
the waters". The word 'face' is simply the Hebrew word
'paniym' meaning 'in the presence of' (Strong's 6440). God's Spirit was before
the presence of the waters. This is important, because you'll find there
is no mention of God creating earth matter past Genesis 1:1. These
"waters" were outstretched over the whole earth, covering all of it,
and that's how God destroyed the earth that then was; that time of old; to
end Satan's rebellion. Even at this verse, the earth is still
under all those "waters".
Gen. 1:3 And God said, "Let
there be light:" and there was light.
Gen. 1:4 And God
saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Gen. 1:5 And God called the
light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning
were the first day.
Many of you may not understand this, but, this 'light'
and 'darkness' here, is not the dividing of a 24-hour period that we all know
in this life. You'll notice that God didn't create the separation between
earth 'day' and 'night' yet, that is to say, the star called our 'sun' and the
planet that orbits the earth called the 'moon', until,
Gen.1: 14. And God said, “Let
there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the
night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years
We're still here in Gen.1:5 and on the first 'day' or
God's period of time
2 Peter 3:8. But, beloved, be
not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand
years, and a thousand years as one day.
Notice that 'Day' and 'Night' are in capitals. Here in
verse 5, 'Day' and 'Night' should be understood as separations between 'good'
and 'evil'; i.e. Christ and Satan, for Christ is
that Light, and Satan is that 'darkness'. Well how can
this be, you may ask? Turn with me to Isaiah 60:19:
Isa 60:19. The
sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give
light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy
God thy glory.
Isa 60:20. Thy
sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw
itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy
mourning shall be ended.
Hey, this hasn't happened yet friend! It's too bad
that many refuse to believe that there will be no 'sun' or 'moon' in the LORD's
eternity.
I guess God's Word is just too 'far out' for
them. This is mentioned again in. The People on the New Earth
(Introversion)
Rev.21 1, 2: Visions (heavens & earth etc) 3-8
Voices. 9-22, 5. Visions (the bride) Read All.
Rev.22 Pure
water of life; i.e. living water; out of the throne of the great Priest- King
of the thousand years now gives place to the glorious throne of God and the
Lamb for God is now, “all-in-all”.
The eternity, or last earth age will be the 'putting
back' of the original state, which God made His creation, therefore, in
that first earth age, there was no 'sun' or 'moon', because God was that
'Light'. There was no 'darkness', literally!
Try to imagine dividing 'time' when you don't have a sun
or moon, no sunlight, no moonlight, only 'Light'. You have to think with your
spiritual mind to understand this.
You can go on a long philosophical trip to nowhere
thinking about this with the 'flesh' mind. The flesh can't comprehend
it. That's why our Father hid this message about the three earth ages from
those who don't care to work in our Father's Word. Chances are, unless you
dig for yourselves in The Word, checking me out, you won't get It either. Nor
will you get it just by asking someone else.
I'm going to stop here for now. Here's an assignment if
you’re interested: Read the
following sections and verses to understand more about this
'Light' talked about here in Genesis 1:3 through 1:5.
1 John 1:5: This then is the message
we have now heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him
is no darkness at all.
Job 38: 19 - Light; 19-21 Darkness things pertaining to both the earth
and the heavens.
Isaiah 45:1-12: loose the loins; idiom for weakening; Opposite of
girding.
John 1: Read All. 1 John1: 5: This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and
declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.
John 3:17-21: Read All. (3:18 My little
children let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.)
1 John 1:5; This then is the message
we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no
darkness at all.
II Cor.4: 6; For God, Who
commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to
give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus
Christ.
Ephesians 5:8. For ye were sometimes
darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.
Peace be with you,
