What Happened in the Beginnings of Time?

In the Beginning, God (Elohim)  (ALEPHא  TAV ת) created the heaven and the earth.

Before the earth was created, the Lamb of Yahweh God was foreordained to be slain for the sin of mankind. (See 1st Peter 1 verse 18 thru 21, and 2nd Corinthians 2 verse 6 thru 10.)

In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God.  The Same was in the beginning with God.  All things were made by Him: and without Him was not anything made that was made.  In Him was LIFE, and the LIFE was the Light of men.  And the Light shines in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1 verse 1 thru 5.)

For to us there is but One God, (Yahweh) the Father, of Whom are all things, and we IN Him; and One Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom are all things (of creation), and we by Him.( Corinthians 8 verse 6.)  Jesus, Who is the Image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: All things were created by Him, and for Him: And He is before all things, and by Him (Christ/Messiah/the TRUTH) all things consist. (Colossians 1 verse 15 thru 17.)

The whole Universe is Pregnant with the Creator's Word of Light.

Nothing in Yahweh God's universal creation, in and of itself, is in the Person of God's WORD and Holy Spirit.  The transcendent Creator of all things is not limited at all by His elemental creation set in time.  All of creation, seen and unseen, is impregnated with the inerrant WORD of the Creator, for all of the imprinted substance of His creation, was birthed and came forth from the Heart of the only Yahweh Lord God Almighty, Who lives and reigns in Infinity. 

When we look and study the Scriptures in Genesis, we see that Yahweh Elohim spoke Light to the fabric of His of creation of time, and His creation, in obedience to Elohim's WORD, did according to the Eternal Word of Yahweh God.  The WORD was given, and the substance of the Eternal's WORD performed as Yahweh Elohim Commanded.  (See Genesis 1 verse 1 thru 27.)

1st Day of creation.
And God (Elohim) said: Let there be Light, and there was Light. And Yahweh God separated the good Light from the darkness; and called the Light day, and the darkness night.  And the evening and the morning were the first day .

2nd Day of creation.
And God (Elohim)
said: Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let the firmament divide the waters from the waters. --- And God called the firmament heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day .

3rd Day of creation.
And
Elohim 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.  And the evening and the morning were the third day .

The Infinite Yahweh God's Light existed before physical time and according to Scripture was made evident on the Lord's 1st day of His creation from His dwelling in Eternity.  The logic for a day of the Lord is set in His timeless Infinity.  Witness  that the Light of Yahweh God came forth even before the sun was created and would shine upon the earth on Yahweh God's 4th day in Infinity.  It is Yahweh God's Light that establishes the evening and the morning of the first 3 days of His creation. The ascribed days of the Eternal Lord are not solar, but are formed from Eternity, where there is no measurement of time.  The mind of Finite man is lost in his understanding of Eternity.

The 4th Day of creation.
And Yahweh Elohim said: Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.  And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, and it was so.  So God made two great lights.  The greater light to rule the day, and the lesser to rule the night.  He also made the stars. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day .

5th Day of creation.
And Yahweh
Elohim 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.  And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1 verse 20 thru 21.)

6th Day of creation.
And Yahweh
Elohim 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.  And YahwehElohim said: let Us make Man/Adam in our image, after our likeness.  (See Genesis 1 verse 24 thru 27.)

The Hebrew word for 'day' is 'yowm' and yowm has several meanings that are expressed beyond finite man's day of 24 hours. With the Eternal Yahweh God Almighty, Yowm is a period of unexpressed time from Eternity of the Eternal Yahweh Elohim's creation of the universe..  In this little treatise, we will investigate the enigma that is in the creative 'day' of the Eternal God Almighty.  Moses, the author of the Torah, is attributed to have written about time in what is called Psalm 90.  Moses' Psalm that follows below, is augmented by Peter, and will revolutionize our understanding of the TRUTH of our Eternal Yahweh God, Who is Eternal Light that reveals an Eternal Day of His Majesty.

For a thousand years in Thy Sight are as yesterday when it is past, for a thousand years are as a watch in the night. (See Moses' HJV Psalm 90 verse 2,4.) The Apostle  Peter writes: 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. (2nd Peter 3 verse 8.)

Now consider the Lord of Infinity and that His 'day' in Eternity would be like a thousand years that is expressed in His creation of time as if it were one day: And the evening and the morning were the first day; being advocated throughout Holy Yahweh God's Eternal time in His universal creation from Eternity. The TRUTH is Yahweh God Almighty, and not one jot or title will pass from His Word of TRUTH until all things of His Word have come to pass.  The TRUTH of Yahweh God and His unfailing WORD will continues to be expanded in the Light of the following apologetics.

Yahweh God's creation of the universe and that of the whole of the earth was created by the Light of the World in the unknown length of 6 days of the Eternal Yahweh Lord Almighty.   Everything that Yahweh Elohim created by HIS WORD, was very good in His Eternal Sight: (See John 8 verse 12.) Almighty God's perspective of His universe is from Eternity, and from Eternity He saw the whole flow of the fabric of time and knew that sin and death would come to mankind by the rebellion of Adam. But God Almighty's understanding all things in His creation, would bring forth His WORD into time and His WORD would become the Man Jesus/Yeshua the Messiah, Who is the very Image and Likeness of the Light of His invisible Holy Father Yahweh God Almighty.  The Lamb of God in His sinless Body, would destroy the sin and death of Man to the Glory of His Father Yahweh God Almighty.

Within Yahweh Elohim's Eternal Light, there is subjected unseen matter and energy, that is imprinted with the dynamic power of the Master's WORD, for the unseen substance of His creation will obey and bring forth the Eternal Yahweh God's immediate Commands.  In the specified third and sixth days of the Lord's creation, through  the dynamics of His spoken Word. the pregnant matter of His earth brought forth, both the order of plant life, and then the animal species. The same obedience and genesis effect can be said for the fifth day, when the waters also responded to Yahweh Elohim's command and brought forth marine life forms, as well the fouls of the air, in accordance to Elohim's Command.  After that, all species had their genetic seed within themselves to reproduce their own kind.

The genesis power of Yahweh God's spoken WORD over His created elements, is absolute.  For that matter, all 'matter' will be whatever Yahweh God says it will be. Again, this is because all matter is the substance of the Almighty's creative WORD, and is subject to the Spirit of His Self engendered WORD of Power. All things in the Universe came forth from the only Infinite God Almighty, and as such, is pregnant with the creative essence within the abundance of His Infinite WORD.  Yahweh God is the God of the living, and not the god of the dead, therefore the substance of life comes forth from the abundance of His heart.  The Infinite Spirit of His Holy WORD is forever alive, and is not anything that we can remotely fathom, and neither can we understand His absolute Holy Nature that dwells in Infinity. For thus says our God, "My Thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My WAYS.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My WAYS higher than your ways, and My Thoughts than your thoughts". (Isaiah 55 verse 8 thru 9.)

Finite mankind is subject to time, and with mankind's time on earth, each person is subject to their thoughts that were engendered within their mind of flesh.  It is difficult to purge the engrained mind of false thoughts that were engrafted by the false teachings of persons we might have held in respect. And who or what being authored their thoughts? Children are extremely susceptible to these days of unsubstantiated evolutionary rhetoric that is presented in the class rooms.  If the adult child has paid for an education, then we may have sustained double indemnity by encumbering our minds with errors from teachers that embrace the errors of their teachers, and so on.  We are free to believe whatever we choose to think, even the influence of vain dreams seeded in the darkness of night by the enemy of our souls.  But, the earthen ground of our thoughts will be subject to the Truth, and if the TRUTH of the WORD of GOD shakes the shallow ground of sand upon which we stand, then it is now time to move our thoughts to Higher Ground.  Let us begin to reason together: For thus says the High and Holy One Who inhabits Eternity: I dwell in the High and Holy Place, and also with the one that is of a contrite and humble spirit: For I will revive the spirit of the humble, and will revive the contrite ones. I will not contend forever. (See Isaiah 57 verse 14 thru 16.)

I Thank the Almighty Yahweh God for His Patience with my prolonged ignorance of His Holy WORD of TRUTH.  We very much appreciate the devout men who maintain a young earth and its changes in a specific 6 day period of time.  Unfortunately there are some that promote a dogmatic view that is in error as to what a day of the Infinite Lord Yahweh God would be:  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. (See 2nd Peter 3 verse 8 with Psalm 90.)  Peter confirms what Moses had already written in the Beginning of Genesis and confirmed in Psalm 90.

Moses, the man of Yahweh God. wrote the book of Genesis. Therefore, Moses certainly would have understood what he wrote about Yahweh God's six days of creation, as he expressed God's days in Psalm 90 as being likened to a thousand years. 

Lord, you have been our dwelling place
    throughout all generations.
Before the mountains were born

    or you brought forth the whole world,
    from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

You turn people back to dust,
    saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”

4 A thousand years in your sight
    are like a day that has just gone by,
    or like a watch in the night.
(See KJV Psalm 90.)

Our premise for a creation day of the Lord being like a thousand years, is relatively established by Moses in his Psalm 90.  The Apostle Peter reminds us of this certainty as he writes in 2nd Epistle: 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. (2nd Peter 3 verse 8.)

The Almighty Yahweh God is Eternal and He inhabits Eternity, therefore, El Shaddai is not tied to our finite understanding of what a day is in His creation of the fabric of time and space.  We all can create stumbling blocks for ourselves and others, when we insist upon our own understanding as being the only logical truth.  Peter implores us to be mindful of one thing:  For indeed,  one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.  One day with the Lord of Eternity is not a 24 hour day of our earthly time, but unto us finite creatures of time, God Almighty's day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day.  In other words, the Infinite God is timeless, and yet His universe is established by His Word and His creation of time.  In God's eternal timing of His first day of His universal creation, [Yahweh] God said let there be light and the Eternal God saw that the light was good and divided the light from darkness, He then called the light day, and the darkness, He called night.

Also, if the sixth day of God's creation was just a 24 hour day, set in earth time, then what a rush of timeless minutes would have taken place in the 24 hour crush of time in the sixth day of Yahweh Elohim's creation.  In the rush of that 24 hour day, Yahweh God first created the animals out of the dust of the earth.  But Yahweh God needed a care taker for the Garden of Eden. so then in the same sixth day 24 hours of creation, God created Man/Adam out of the dust of the earth, and then breathed life into the nostrils of Adam, and Adam became a living soul.  Then in the same 6th day of 24 hours, Elohim brought the multitude of the animals He had previously created from the dust of the earth to Adam to see what  Man would name then.  Then in the latter time of that same 24 hour period, God put Adam into a deep sleep and took Woman/Ishshah from Adam's side and brought her/Ishshah to Adam to see what Adam, as the first Man would call her.  Adam/ Man named his wife Ishshah meaning in English Woman.

The Eternal Yahweh Elohim speaks of  His day of time in the Garden of Eden when Yahweh Elohim gave Instruction to Adam: Of every tree in the garden you may freely eat, but of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil, you may not eat of it, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.  Adam and Ishshah, with their selfish disobedience, did not die in that one 24 hour earth day, but would perish within the expanse of the time frame of that one day of the Lord.  Again we hear Peter's reminder: 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. (2nd Peter 3 verse 8.) The Scriptures do not say when Ishshah, now renamed Eve, would have died, but like her husband Adam, it would have been in the expanse of the 'day'; of the Lord, for all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died. (Genesis 5 verse 1 thru 5.) If a 'day' of the Lord is likened to a thousand years, then Adam would have perished seventy years short of a 'day' of the Lord Yahweh Elohim.

Time is only relative to mankind, for the inexplicable Day of the Lord is an enigma in Eternity.  That which  is written in Scripture is for us to understand; and now understand that the Creator is not subject to His creation of the fabric of time, but from Eternity, the timeless Elohim intervenes in His creation of time to bring forth the finality of His Will for His Salvation of man-kind.   So then, know this, that from the beginnings of creation, the Will of the Almighty God is to bring forth children born of His Seed after the Image and Likeness of His only Begotten Son, His WORD Jesus Christ.  For like the only Begotten Son of God, the children of God shall know to despise the evil and choose the good. (See Isaiah 7 verse 15 thru 17.)

The Mystery of Satan

Chapter 2 of Genesis begins by saying that the heavens and the earth were finished, and (with) all the host of them. If you had clicked on the green highlighted 'host', then you would understand that the transliterate word 'host' is addressing organized angelic armies of which Lucifer would have been a designate. 

And so, in the 7th day, after completing His very good creation, God rested from His creation work and set the 7th day apart from all other days.  The 7th day was declared by God Almighty to be the Sabbath, and He said: Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it HOLY {Set apart]. (See Exodus 20 verse 8 thru 10.) These are the generations of the heavens and the earth, when they were created in the time that the Lord created the heavens and the earth.  The following Scriptures in chapter 2 were and remain a synopsis of events which took place during the Eternal God's 6 days of Creation.  We will attempt to interplay our own rational thoughts into the context of God's 6 days of His universal creation.  However we understand our state, and agree with the Scripture in Ecclesiastes 8:17

Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: Though a man labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it. Looking farther on, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

In the course of Yahweh God's very good creation, it should logically appear that Lucifer had already rebelled against God his Maker and brought a third of the angels into his rebellion against the Creator.  The exact time of God's creation of Lucifer, and then his rebellion is not known, but with the Infinite God of Eternity, knowing all things in time, including sin's rebellion, planted the Tree of Knowledge for the deceiver to attach himself within the midst of the branches of the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil.

In the third day of the Lords' creation. the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He (would) put Adam, whom Elohim formed and gave Life to in the latter end of the Sixth day. On the Third day: Out of the ground, the Lord made to grow every tree that is pleasant in the sight of Man, and also that which is good for food.  He planted the Tree of Life in the midst of the garden: and also the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The angel Lucifer was perfect in all his ways from the day that he was created (by God), until iniquity was found in you.

The Scriptures in Ezekiel 28 states that Lucifer, depicted as the king of Tyrus, had been in Eden the Garden of God, and every precious stone was his covering. The sum of Lucifer, as a creation of God, was that he was full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. Lucifer's heart was lifted up in pride because of his beauty, and his created beauty corrupted Lucifer's wisdom, and the corruption elevated his conceit, bringing him to rebel against the Eternal God.  It is impossible for the created Lucifer to have ever been in timeless Eternity to witness the Infinites Eternal Power and His Glory.  What the Eternal God has purposed IN His creation, He will bring to pass.

Lucifer was a creation in God's time, and we could logically conclude that the angelic Lucifer would have already rebelled in time against God and brought a third of the angels into his rebellion against the Creator.  The exact time of Lucifer's creation, and then his rebellion is not known, but with the God of Eternity, knowing all things that would take place in His creation of time, had planted in the 3rd day, the Tree of Knowledge for the deceiver to attach himself and be found among the branches of good and evil.

In the chapter Creation of Man we will consider the wisdom that Satan the deceiver possessed, as he sought to destroy the credibility of Elohim by what ever means he thought possible.
