The Past.
In the beginning of time, (whenever that was; has
not been stated,) God created everything in the Heavens and on the earth.
Then some unknown length of time later, something catastrophic occurred that
made God's Creation come to utter destruction, it became a wasted place.
This destruction manifested itself among other things as a total flood. So
complete was this destructive event that not only did the earth become an
indistinguishable ruin, but all the earth was cast into utter darkness.
We will study what God's Word, The
Bible, says about the beginning; the beginning of not only the history of the creation of
the world as we now know it today, but also the creation of the world that then was,
as well as the world that is to come (Heaven).
These are known as Earth Ages, and there are three of them
spoken of in the Bible; we will learn of them in this
study. We will also read of time-gap in scriptures, a great
flood and destruction other than; and before Noah's flood.
We will even read of dinosaurs in the scriptures.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of quality in; in-depth
teaching of God's written Word, many Christians have been led into confusion
regarding foundational truths that are so very important to our understanding
of the whole of God's Word and His
plan.
There
is a plan and a "theme" to the Bible and it flows from Genesis
through to Revelation. But how can we understand the ending of God's plan (Revelation)
if we don't fully understand the beginning (Genesis)? Today we will
study several key scriptures in the Bible that many of us have just read over without
fully understanding the deeper truths that were contained within them.
Understanding these key fundamental truths is vital to understanding the
whole of God's Word. But due to the
false teachings and the half truths that we have been exposed to our entire
life, we must first unlearn the untruths, before we can learn the truths of
God's most Perfect Word, the Bible.
This
present topic (the beginning) is so very important because it will shatter a
myth that has caused many intelligent well intentioned souls to disregard the Bible
because they feel that the Bible goes against good, hard scientific fact;
although in reality, nothing could actually be further from the truth.
Near the end of this study, we will discover a place where God mentions the dinosaur
in the Bible. This should prove
unnerving to those who stake their soul on the fact of the Bible being just the
imaginations of some old sheep herders in Jerusalem. For we
did not even discover the existence of dinosaurs until A.D. 1800's, but the
latest book written in the Bible was written in approximately A.D. 94
(Revelation). And the book that the dinosaur is mentioned in (Job) is
thought to be the first book of the Bible put into writing; it is believed
that the book of Job was written even before Moses scribed the book of Genesis sometime
around 1490 BC.
Let's begin our study at the first verse of the first chapter of the first book in our Bible. Genesis was written by the inspiration of Almighty God through the hand of Moses, for Moses was not yet born when the events recorded in the beginning of the book Genesis transpired. We can determine from the genealogies recorded in the Bible that Moses was born on or about 1571 BC, and Adam was formed in 4004 BC in the Garden of Eden. Thus what we read here is the divinely inspired account of the creation of the foundation of the world, and we most certainly must reflect on every word, for they are the words of Almighty God Himself.

In this Bible study we are going to take a look at what Satan was up to in the first earth age and what caused God to end that age. The things we are going to be talking about in this study happened a very long time ago. We were all happy in heaven which was on earth at that time. We did not have flesh bodies but only spiritual ones. Satan who was called Lucifer back then was a good guy and had great responsibilities given to him by God. But all that changed.
