So, there was light three days before there was a sun, a moon, or stars. Yet, God created light on the first day (Genesis 1:3). That shoots evolution in the head.Īnd God made two great lights the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. This account says the earth existed before God created the sun, moon, and stars. It seems to me that Genesis 1:14 disproves this long earth theory. I can’t conclusively prove that didn’t happen, but I don’t think anyone can prove that did happen by speculating on what occurred between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. I guess it is possible that the Lord could have created the heavens and the earth of Genesis 1:1, and then beginning with Genesis 1:3, Moses might have been describing a re-creation of the world after some cataclysmic destruction of a pre-Adamic civilization that Satan ruled over. Many people have made major doctrines about what happened between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. The Holy Spirit was hatching the potential of what God had created. This is a word picture of the Holy Spirit brooding over the waters in the way a mother hen broods over her chicks. The Hebrew word that was translated “moved” in this verse means “to brood by implication, to be relaxed” (Strong’s Concordance). Likewise, no one can come to the Father but through the ministry of the Holy Spirit (John 6:44 and 1 Corinthians 2:14). God does nothing without His Holy Spirit. Before any work of the Lord was begun, the Holy Spirit was present, “brooding” over the elements from which all life would be created. In just the second verse of the Bible the Holy Spirit is introduced. Not a huge amount of detail is given, but it’s enough to occupy our thoughts and answer our questions. No doubt this is some of the revelation that came to Moses in his face-to-face encounters with the Lord. This knowledge was given to Moses by divine inspiration (2 Peter 1:21) and thus is not just tradition or the imagination of man but truth. Of course, no human was present to witness the creation. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Hide textĪnd the earth was without form, and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
