How God didn't create the earth and universe during Genesis 1:1.
I would like to see all your opinion about this matter.
Your statement above I put in red is enough to show your source is garbage!
What Genesis 1 reveals is this, and plenty of scholars will even disagree with me on this...
1. Genesis 1:1 = God created the heavens and the earth, an ORIGINAL PERFECT CREATION, when Satan served God, and was perfect in his ways (Ezekiel 28 parable).
2.
BETWEEN the time of Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. The 'overthrow'; Satan's original rebellion in coveting God's Throne. God DESTROYED... THAT OLD WORLD, His original perfect creation using a FLOOD OF WATERS UPON THE EARTH. (not the flood of Noah's day).
3. Genesis 1:2 = the earth was without form, and void in the Hebrew means 'a waste and an undistinguishable ruin' (Hebrew
tohu va bohu). The earth was laid waste because of God's flood He brought upon the earth to end Satan's rebellion. The Jeremiah 4:23-28 description of "without form, and void" reveals the earth in a waste state, and is pointing to Genesis 1:2.
4. Genesis 1:6-7 = God divided the waters overspread upon the earth, and moved a portion of those waters up above the earth to create today's sky atmosphere. That's what a "firmament" is.
5. Genesis 1:9 = the waters left still covering the whole earth underneath, God moves those waters around until the 'dry land' appears (actually re-appears, for the earth was already there since He created it at verse 1).
In Romans 8:18-25, Apostle Paul said that God placed the creation into 'bondage of corruption', and Paul said the creation seeks to be released from bondage, along with us. That is what God did for this 2nd WORLD EARTH AGE, which is preserved to be destroyed by His consuming FIRE, per 2 Peter 3.
That means this present creation, this 2nd world earth age, is NOT perfect, NOT God's original Perfect creation of the earth when Satan followed Him. That is why everything in this present world decays and dies, and is imperfect, and like Paul says cannot be compared to the glory of the world to come.
