From Nimrod Rising Part 2, Lucia's Flood
“In the KJV, the sense of immediate occurrence between the creation and the being without form and void seems strong. But in actuality there could have been eons of time between Genesis 1: 1 and 1:2. There would be easily enough time for the prehistoric time of the earth. God never creates imperfection, only through sin and disobedience to God comes a falling away from God and His blessings. In Jeremiah 4:23, the prophet had a vision in the past tense and he says, ‘I beheld the Earth and it became waste and desolate.’ Those are the same words as in Genesis. The
passage goes on:
‘…and the heavens and they had no light. I beheld the mountains and lo, they rumbled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld and lo there was no man (literally Adam), and all the birds of heaven were fled. 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.’
“Here Jeremiah sees a past tense Earth being laid waste and desolate, the same as Genesis, with darkness over everything, also the same as Genesis. There was no Adam, as in Genesis, for Adam wasn’t created yet. All the cities were broken down at the presence of the Lord. The term ‘cities’ in the original language means, ‘Meeting places of intelligent beings.’ Satan was intelligent and would have dwelling places, and God was very angry with him.
“Also, in the prophetic book of Isaiah chapter 45 and verse 18 it states,for this is what the LORD says—He who created the heavens, He is God; He who fashioned and made the earth, He founded it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited—He says: “I am the LORD, and there is no other.” ’
“So, if there is a God and if He created the world as the bible states, then He fashioned the Earth to be full and inhabited, not void or empty. So, then why does the creation account state that it was empty? Why was it formless and void? That indicates that something happened to cause it to be so some time before He created the life we have today.”
“Tell us! Come on, Doctor! What are you getting at?” Several students shouted. Mike smiled and plodded on. “So we can see that Gen. 1:1 and 1:2 speak of the original creation with Satan’s rebellion and fall becoming a waste land and desolation. Then
God re-created everything. The millions of years that this earth seemingly
existed can fit easily into this part of Genesis.
“So, in conclusion, let me say that there is more evidence against the Theory of Evolution than for it. There are more missing links—or, should I say, that there are not any connecting links between the different species. But even if God used evolution, what’s the big deal? If He did use it, when he created Adam, he still created a different, very unique being,with properties modeled after God, Himself that made man distinct from any other species. Adam and his descendants didn’t come from any ape.
The apparent conflict between evolution and the bible wouldn’t even exist if we saw that simple truth that the age factor of the Earth is no factor at all.
Those of us who think that the Earth belongs only to us have failed to understand that it belonged to another race, level of life, entity, whatever you prefer to call it, before we were given charge over it. Perhaps this can explain also the conflict that constantly besieges this world. Perhaps the wars we see are insignificant when compared to the war we cannot see except through spiritual eyes, a war I might add, my eyes have seen up close...
