Today’s study is Genesis Ch.1. it can be divided into the 3 earth ages and creation.
GENESIS CHAPTER ONE
The 3 heaven and earth ages.
[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Period. He did not say 6500 years ago. Even with that thought, you’d have to put into consideration the first 7000 years and you would be closer to just this earth age. But, we have three earth ages to consider. So lets get started with Proverbs chapter 8 and beginning with verse 22. And it reads;
Proverbs ch.8.
[22] The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
The Lord taught me about what was.
[23] I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
I, Wisdom speaking, before I even created the earth, or anything else.
[24] When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
[25] Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
[26] While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
[27] When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
[28] When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
[29] When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
So wisdom was with the LORD long before he made this earth.so was The Word, Jesus is the living word. These are the full God head. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That is why here at Christ Ministry’s we will teach all of Gods Word. For Jesus is the living Word. Genesis thru Revelations. For this we go to John.
John 1:1-5
[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
This “Word” is Logos. That’s Jesus Christ.
[2] The same was in the beginning with God.
[3] All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.
[4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
[5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
This should make easier now to understand the Trinity. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are all One. Going back to genesis ch.1 and verse 2 reads.
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 “was” is “became” in the Hebrew. H1961 from H1933. In the ‘Strongs. So it was not created void but became void. Why? We find it in the Strongs Concordance Greek “foundations”G2598 “Kataballo”. Because of Satan’s overthrow in the first earth age. Let’s see where else this was said. Isaiah 45.17-19. And it reads.
Isa.45:17) But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
What do you think about this Salvation. Even here in the Old Testament we find Jesus Christ. Also a world without end is the third earth age, Ion. Without end it is never ending. From that time on forever. this completes the 3 earth and heaven ages. Was, is and is to come.
[18] For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
This word “vain” is To-hoo, H8414. in the Hebrew. The same as in verse two in Genesis. He formed it to be inhabited. This means from the beginning. We have fossils today that date back millions of years. His creations on land and in the waters are obviously everywhere. from the dinosaurs to the little shells you find digging everywhere.
[19] I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
I did not speak in secret, I’m writing it right here. for all to see. I didn’t hide it, but its in plain sight for you to read. maybe he said it to us in the New Testament. Let’s go to 2nd.Peter 3: 5-10.and it reads.
2Pet.Ch.3:5) For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
The first earth Age, ION. Read this very carefully, we don’t want to be ignorant, or “unlearned”. BY THE WORD OF GOD. we are reading it right now. That the Heavens were of old. The first earth age.
[6] Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
He just said the world that then WAS. So it was there but then wasn’t. that’s how we know we have three earth ages, it is written throughout the bible. And also all around us. just look at the Grand Canyon today. And see the power that God used in his anger. This was the Kataballo. G2598. Foundations.
[7] But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
“Are now”, this earth age, the second. This will happen, “for God is a consuming fire”. Heb. 12.29. then the millennium, a thousand years, “the day of the Lord”. Then the White throne Judgement. This will be the end of the second earth age. And finally the Eternity. Come Lord Jesus, come.
[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.
Remember this when we study the rest of Genesis chapter one.
[9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
This word longsuffering is patient. We will try in his name to show all sinners that Jesus wants them to repent. That is to have a change of heart and ask for forgiveness.
[10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Come as a thief in the night, yes when you think Jesus is here already. When Satan comes first and says I’m your savior, and the whole world is deceived, at the 6th. Trump, then our Lord and Savior shall come. at the 7th. Trump. The heaven and the earth shall not pass away but this heaven and earth age shall pass away. He’s talking about the 7th. Trump. Or when Christ returns. this word elements is Rudiments and that is all sin and sinners. Ok. Is it written any where else, yes. Lets go back to the Old Testament. Jeramiah. Chapter 4. And beginning with verse 22 and it reads.
Jeramiah 4:22) For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Sottish is old English word that means stupid. Lucky you and me are studying Gods word now and we pray for our eyes and ears to be opened by God to his word.
[23] I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
Again the same word “void” in Hebrew, to-hoo H8414. Also this light is Christ. He has already created the earth and the sun. so we learn here that by his overthrow of Satan he has given us this second earth age to come thru in the flesh.
[24] I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
I guess now would be good time to explain that at one time all land mass was together in what scientist called Pangea. But the Lord split the mass and divided the world in anger and overthrew it with water. Knowing that the next time he overthrows it with fire. We just read this in 1Pet.3.7.
[25] I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
[26] I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
So in the first earth age we had cities also.
[27] For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
No he did not make a full end, but a second earth age. Which we are now. Well lets go now to Ephesians. To rap this up. Ephesians chapter 1 beginning with verse 4 and it reads.
Eph.1:4] According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
This word “foundation” is of course Kataballo, G2598 in the Strongs’. It means overthrow. The overthrow of Satan. It wasn’t pretty, it was with great force by our Father in his anger. That all would come thru the flesh. Are you going to worship him or Satan your choice. At the white throne judgement we shall know. We shall all know. Also note he has chosen some. these are Gods Elect. Are you one of Gods Elect. Can God use you in these end times. We will study Gods words and not the traditions of men. Now we go into the creation. Picking it up with Genesis Ch.1 and verse 3 reads .
The creation
Gen.1:3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
This creation is the creation of this earth age, the second. Needing to prepare the world for man in the flesh. God had already created the earth and naturally the sun also. So what is this light? For that we go to John 1.4 and it reads.
John 1:4) In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
[5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
This light is Jesus Christ, this Light is Salvation. Now we notice there is so much that is said here in Genesis and the gospel of John. That has correlated from “the beginning”. Now back to Gen.1.and verse four reads.
[4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
[5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
So if the Light is Jesus then we know that the darkness is Satan. This is why all prophesy’s in days are of God and all prophesy’s of night, or moons are of Satan.
[6] And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
[7] And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
[8] And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
I have struggled with this for years and finally it came to me. Because we know that the firmament fell at the Kataballo, and the Lord destroyed the first world age with water, then this firmament is the clouds in the atmosphere. How the rivers run into the sea, then evaporate into clouds then rain again onto the earth, just to go down river and repeat again and again. Also notice the repetition of the word “And”. It is a polysyndeton. And means that the “Holy Spirit” moved. And the Holy Spirit was with God as he Created this second world age. And remember that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. Each day is a thousand years to us. We’ll talk later on this.
[9] And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
[10] And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
So as the mountains move with the power of God into place where we have them today, and for the first time the seas came between them, again He is preparing the world to have man in the flesh for the first time. The LORD saw that that too was good. I say wonderful. Think, before all was perfect, now we have weather when before it was all the same, the firmament was above us protecting everything from all. And now look around. With all extremes. But it will go back to how it was in the beginning.
[11] And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
[12] And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[13] And the evening and the morning were the third day.
Kind after kind. This is natural. It is not natural for one thing to cross with another thing. Anything that isn’t natural is considered “perverted” by our Father. Also note that these fruit and grasses were there for the 6th. Day creation, the hunter and gatherers.
[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:
These lights are the moon and the sun and the stars. He set them up in the heavens for signs and seasons, let not overlook that. For prophesy’s and for the four seasons we now enjoy on earth. Again everything so that man can thrive on the earth in the flesh.
[15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
[16] And 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.
I can’t help but think of John Ch.9. the greater being Christ, the lesser being Satan. And the stars being all his children. Job 38. So lets start with John 9:4-5. And it reads.
John 9:4) I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
[5] As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
And the stars, lets go to Job.38:7, and it reads.
Job 38:7) When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
See we all were happy once before, but then Satan’s pride brought it all down. Now lets get back to Genesis verse 17, and it reads.
Gen. 1:17) And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
[18] And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
[19] And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
[20] And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
This word “life” is soul, Nephesh in the Hebrew. Ever wondered if animals have a soul or would be in heaven. Well this just said they have souls. The last verse of Chapter 4 in Revelations say that all that God has created are for his pleasure. And again in Isaiah Chapter 11, in the eternity are they not in heaven with us. That being said my teacher says this is the Chinese since their text goes back further than ours. I don’t agree because of the reasons I already given and that God created ALL races on the sixth day, that being my opinion, you can decide for yourselves.
[21] And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[22] And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
[23] And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
[24] And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
These cattle are Wilder beast and buffalo and so forth.
[25] And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
We do not have animals that are part one thing and part another. There is no half monkey and half man, this is a ridiculous thought of non-believers to explain away God. there is no such thing as Evolution. If evolution was a fact, then it would be never ending. You would still have things in transition today. But we don’t. so we know that One God spoke and nothing became everything and he will speak again and somethings will become nothing. Don’t be that fool who speaks against the LORD.
[26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
A lot here, notice he said let us make man in “our” image. First who is he talking to here. the angels, the stars, he is talking with us. Second notice he includes himself, why? Because he too will come in the flesh. He is talking about Jesus in the flesh and gives us that promise here. Immanuel, God with us. Isaiah Chapter 7:14, and it reads.
Isa.7:14) Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. God with us.
Now lets go back to Gen.1:27 and it reads.
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
I would not want to be that person that stands before God and tells him you didn’t know I was not what you created me as. This perversion in the world that has infected our country and is an abomination unto the LORD. He just said male and female. He did not say what ever they feel like.
[28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Catch that. He said replenish the earth. Another place where he lets us know that we have this earth age after the first. And that he destroyed it once and he shall destroy this one too. I don’t think it a good idea to kill an animal without reason. All creatures, big and small created by our Father are for his pleasure. Rev.4:11.
[29] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
[30] And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
[31] And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Did he not look and it was “very” good. He created kind after kind in that which all can be able to say God made me this way. and my family this way. and said we are very good. All races, all peoples made he very good. Made all his children. Very good, why hate what God loves. Let us go to his throne
I thank you Father for thy word and I ask that you bless all that love you, and send us out to spread your word. I ask this in Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

One response to “GENESIS 1”
This lesson enlightened me more than what has ever been explained to me before. I will be coming here to learn more of the Bible. It’s nice to read what God has to say other than what men think it says and you explained it where I understood it. God bless you Pastor Kevin.
