3 world ages pt. 1
God’s word in no way states that this world is 6,000 years old. Look for yourself and see. Many Christians have a hard time explaining such things as dinosaurs because they believe this world dates back to 6,000 years ago. Let’s take a look and see for ourselves in God’s word.
Psalm 104:1-9
104:1 He is surrounded by these things! He does many things for us and is worthy to be praised.
104:2 He is that light that brings clarity to our life. He hung the heavens as we would hang a curtain.
104:3 (chariot compare Ezekiel 1). Chariot H 7398; a vehicle as ridden on. These are the vehicles God travels on. God walks in the Spirit (wind).
104:4 angels H 4397; messengers. Ministers H 8334; servant. (compare Psalm 103:21), (quoted in Heb 1:7). You can see how God can say in Ephesians 1:4 He chose some before the foundation of this world (age). Where were we before being born in the flesh? Where did your soul come from? God is the answer. We were His children even then.
104:5 earth H 776; (erets), soil, ground, land, earth. When this was done it was not 6,000 years ago but a long time ago. The cosmos may change (earth ages), but never the land, ground.
104:6 (compare Gen 1:2, 2 Peter 3:5-6). Deep H 8415; an abyss, a mass of water. The earth stood in the water and out. This is from satans rebellion (katabole). This is the tohu va bohu of Gen 1:1-2. Katabole is when satan drew a third of the stars with him (compare Rev 12).
104:7 (compare Gen 8). They fled instantly, not the almost year it took the waters to recede away in Noahs flood. How did shells and other things accustomed to water get deposited in places where there is no water?
104:8-9 God set the bounds for the water (coast). Never to cover the earth for total destruction again.
2 Peter 3:1-14
3:1 pure G 1506; sincere. Calling us to remember things from before.
3:2 calling us to remembrance of things from the Old Testament and the soon to be new testament.
3:3-4 scoffers G 1703; mocker, false teacher. Lust G 1939; their own desire. They think things continue without change.
3:5 willingly G 2309; desire it, delight in it. They are wanting their ignorance of the earth ages and how it was before. Not speaking of Noahs flood because all things were destroyed during the katabole. In the flood what did the dove bring back? An olive branch, which takes a while to grow.
3:6 world G 2889; (kosmos), orderly arrangement. Perished G 622destroy fully. Everything was destroyed fully (of that age). Remember Noah and people/animals survived the flood.
3:7 the heavens were not destroyed during the flood of Noah either. The 2nd earth age is now saved for fire (God is a consuming fire Heb 12:29). These that are to perish will be destroyed at that time.
3:8 How many days did it take the Lord to create the second earth age? 6 days (6,000 years) and on the 7th He rested (millennium=1,000 years). Adam was created around the year 4,000 BC. If the earth is only 6,000 years old how do you explain the dinosaurs.
3:9 slack G 1019; to delay, tarry, slow. Longsuffering G 3114; patient. God waits for all to be saved but many will not. This patience is why we are given the chance to be born of woman and choose who we will serve. This is why God did not make a full end at the first earth age.
3:10 (compare Gal 4:3/elements). Heavens are plural of then and now. Remember God is a consuming fire. Only the evil things of this world will be done away with and not the earth (erets).
3:11 (compare 1 Peter 1:15, 1 Tim 2:2). Don’t live the bad things of the world. Please God and not man.
3:12 This is a wonderful day because all that offends will be done away with.
3:13 new G 2537; in respect to freshness (with respect to age). This will be the 3rd earth age when all will be made right. Not a different earth/heaven but renewed.
3:14 Wait on the Lord and be found unblemished.
104:4 angels H 4397; messengers. Ministers H 8334; servant. (compare Psalm 103:21), (quoted in Heb 1:7). You can see how God can say in Ephesians 1:4 He chose some before the foundation of this world (age). Where were we before being born in the flesh? Where did your soul come from? God is the answer. We were His children even then.
ReplyDeleteWhere is some scriptural support that we existed before the creation in Genesis chapter one. Scriptures that say that.
There are many scriptures that deal with this subject in the bible. Job 38 verse 7 speaks of all the sons of God singing together. To understand when this took place we must first look at the “when.” If we look at verse 4 of that same chapter it gives us the info we need. The subject is when God laid the foundations of the earth, which we know was many years ago. Jeremiah 1 verse 5 tells us that Jeremiah was chosen, sanctified and ordained a prophet before he was in the womb. How could God do this without knowing the character of Jeremiah already from the first earth age? Where did we come from and who were we with? It is God of course. Jeremiah 4 verse 26 speaks of the destruction of the first earth age and says there were cities there as well. Who inhabited those cities? Us of course. Ephesians 1 verse 4 says again that some were chosen before the foundations of the earth. Romans 9 verses 11-13 say that God loved Jacob but hated Esau before they were born and before they had done any good or evil (because they were not born yet). If God is a fair God (which He is) then how could this be said of a child that hadn’t been born if God didn’t already know His character and what He was capable of. Now some might say God knows everything and knew what they were going to do. But some have free will and have choices to make, so that can’t be true. God wants our genuine love and not manufactured, that is why some have to choose whom they will serve. I hope this helps, any more inquires please let me know.
