Shalom (Peace) to Everyone!

 

Yes, there a time period between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2!

 

How many years? YAHWEH knows it.

 

That is NOT trying to read between the lines of the Scriptures, but simply toany, but simply to read the lines or verses of the Scriptures!

 

In fact, in Genesis 1:1 it is written, "IN THE BEGINNING Elohim Created the Heavens and the Earth".

 

When was such "IN THE BEGINNING"??? Just about 6000 years ago, when man was created??? Or BEFORE that time???

 

The Scriptures indicate that the Malakim - the Morning Stars and the Sons of Elohim - were CREATED BEFORE that time, since they sang together and shouted for joy when YAHWEH CREATED the Earth (Iyyob / Job 38:4-7)!

 

By the way, VERY STRANGE to sing together and shout for joy if the Earth was only a rock "without form and void" and fully covered of water, and darkness!?!

 

Then, "IN THE BEGINNING" of Genesis 1:1 includes also the CREATION of the Malakim (IN THE HEAVENS), that surely occurred MORE THAN 6000 years ago!

 

So, surely we have a TIME PERIOD between Genesis 1:1, occurred MORE THAN 6000 years ago, and Genesis 1:2, occurred about 6000 years ago.

 

It doesn't matter how many years between the two.

 

GENESIS 1:1 - "IN THE BEGINNING" (MORE THAN 6000 years ago) YAHWEH Created the HEAVENS (that SURELY included the Malakim - the Morning Stars and the Sons of Elohim, but also the Galaxies, Stars, and Planets, because it would be VERY STRANGE that the Malakim would have been living and dwelling in DARK AND VOID HEAVENS) and the EARTH (that surely was A VERY BEAUTIFUL ALSO FOR THEM TO LIVE AND DWELL, otherwise the Morning Stars would NOT sing together for that, and the Sons of Elohim would NOT shout for joy for that!).

 

GENESIS 1:2 - Then, SOMETHING VERY DRAMATIC OCCURRED, that was NOT a human business, and it is NOT recorded, being a Malakim business - but the Scriptures seems to indicate that was Satan's rebellion, together with one third of the Malakim, that became demons, that caused such Chaotic conditions - the Earth BECAME without form and void, fully covered with water, and darkness - just as after a Universal Flood, similar to what occurred at the time of Noah.

 

GENESIS 1:3 AHEAD - About 6000 years ago YAHWEH Planned to MAKE or re-MAKE the surface of the Earth, and its enviroment, to fit It for vegetal, animal, and human life to Create on It!

 

Now Read Exodus 20:11.

 

 

�         Exodus 20:11 - [11] For in six days YAHWEH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore YAHWEH blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

 

The Verb "to Make" here is the Hebrew "asah", meaning to Make (SOMETHING WITH AND/OR FROM SOMETHING ELSE), to accomplish, that is DIFFERENT from the Verb "to Create" used in Genesis 1:1, that is the Hebrew "barah", meaning to Create (SOMETHING FROM NOTHING), to shape, to fashion.

 

Then, the Six Days of the MAKING of the Heavens and the Earth clearly did NOT include Genesis 1:1 in which YAHWEH CREATED the Heavens and the Earth! 

 

Jahzrah asked such question: "If all of Jah抯 creation from Genesis 1:1-1:31 took only 6 days, then how can there be a GAP of millions of years between Gen. 1:1 and Gen. 1:2?"

 

The answer is quite simple: Genesis 1:1 is dealing with the entire Universe, when it was CREATED In The Beginning, while Genesis 1:2 is dealing only with the Earth, when YAHWEH Planned to Fit It to Create vegetal, animal, and human life on It.

 

Exodus 20:11 does not say "For in six days YAHWEH CREATED the heavens and earth!"

 

 

About the word "replenish", it can mean "fill again" or "refill", or just "fill". But, as a matter of Fact, the Scriptures show that Lucifer (Hillel) was in Eden, the Garden of YAHWEH, so that some of the Malakim lived, and dwelt on the Earth, BEFORE the Creation of Man. So that "refill" seems the appropriate meaning for "replenish".

 

About of the Hebrew verb "hayah", it can mean "to be", or "to become", or "to come to pass". Since the Hebrew verb "barah", in Genesis 1:1, means "to create, to shape, to fashion", connoting A FINISHED WORK, it is clear that the Earth, in Genesis 1:2, "became" or "came to pass" WITHOUT FORM AND VOID, and NOT "was" that chaotic way, fully covered with waters, and darkness!  

 

Yes, the Hebrew construction of Verse 2 is disjunctive, and is describing the result of something occurred previously, that surely was not the creation described in verse one, that was a finished creation (HEBREW "barah")!

 

YAHWEH was finished in Genesis 1:1 with the Creation of the ORIGINAL Earth!

 

Yes, YAHWEH Created Lights in the Heavens IN THE BEGINNING.

 

And when He said 慙et there be Light', in Genesis 1:3, it occurred ON THE EARTH, and NOT in the Heavens, and He saw It to be "beneficial".

 

Do you read of any word said, and work made in Genesis 1:2??? NO! Just a description of a CHAOTIC state of the Earth "without form and void", full of darkness, and covered with waters!

  

PERFECT state??? The Spirit of YAHWEH moved upon that formless and empty dark rock immersed under waters, but NOT a word of such work from YAHWEH at that time!

 

YAHWEH didn't make such formless and empty dark rock immersed under waters! That was the CHAOTIC condition that the Earth BECAME!

 

YAHWEH Created a VERY BEAUTIFUL EARTH, In The Beginning, at which time the Morning Stars (Malakim Gadol / Archangels) sang together, and the Sons of Elohim (Malakim / Angels) shouted for joy (Iyyob / Job 38:4-7)!

 

Please Read Carefully 2 Kepha (Peter) 3:3-7 -

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
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.

6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
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.

 

"The Heavens were of old, and the Earth standing out of the water and in the water" were those CREATED IN THE BEGINNING (Genesis 1:1).

 

"The world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished" was that living on the Earth BEFORE Genesis 1:2, and NOT that at the time of the Flood of Noah, when eight people were saved from the waters, in the Ark, and didn't perish!

 

"The Heavens and the Earth, which are now" are those MADE or re-MADE from Genesis 1:3 ahead, in Six Days, about 6000 years ago, where we are living now!

Subject: [TheTrueSabbathsAndNewMoons] Gap theory is false - (The creation of the EArth) - part 2 of 2

Peace,

 

 

Is there a time period between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2? Many people believe there is卼hey even believe it抯 millions of years between these 2 verse匰ound confusing? To some it is very clear卻o let us examine the Scriptures to see what JAH is saying about His Creation.

 

 

How many millions of years are involved in the 慻ap� theory, 2, 3 million? Hundreds of thousands of years maybe?

 

 

First of all, as Student of the Messijah, aren抰 we supposed to read the lines or verses of Scripture? Why are people trying to read between the lines?

 

 

Please dear student; do not look for a GAP or for anything else between two verses. In reading the Scriptures, Jah wants us to read the verses, not between the verses.

 

 

We need to read the lines, not between the lines!

 

 

Your heart will never be blessed by reading the gap between any Scriptures, like for example, Hebrews 13:5 and Hebrews 13:6. But if you read Hebrews 13:5 and then continue on to read Hebrews 13:6 and then if you believe those verses (wonderful promises!), your heart will be greatly encouraged!

 

We must read Genesis 1:1 and then read Genesis 1:2. Do not fall into the deception of attempting to read between these verses, because there is nothing there!

 

 

Bear this fact in mind dear reader:

 

 

�         The person who reads between the verses can make the Scriptures say anything he wants. However, the person who reads only the verses is better able to see what Jah has said. Read Jah抯 Word, not the GAPS!

 

 

So back to the million year, I mean dollar question, Is there really a GAP of millions of years between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2?

 

Read Exodus 20:11.

 

 

�         Exodus 20:11 - [11] For in six days JAH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore JAH blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

 

 

How long did that verse say it took JAH to make the heavens and the earth and the sea and everything that is in the heavens, the earth and the sea?

 

 

�         "For in six days JAH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is,

 

 

Was the beginning of the creation of the heavens and the earth in Genesis 1:1 included in this six-day period? I would say yes, others may say no. Jah said He made the heavens and the Earth in the Sabbath command and in Genesis 1:1 it states the beginning of the creation being the heaven and the earth.

 

 

�         "In the beginning Jah created the heaven and the earth."

 

 

If all of Jah抯 creation from Genesis 1:1-1:31 took only 6 days, then how can there be a GAP of millions of years between Gen. 1:1 and Gen. 1:2?

 

 

Also, Exodus 20:11 does not say "For in six days JAH RE-MADE the heavens and earth!"

 

 

About the word "replenish"

 

 

�         Genesis 1:28 says, "Be fruitful, and multiply and replenish the earth."

 

 

The word "replenish" does not mean "to fill again" or "to refill," but it simply means, "to fill." This is an old English word to mean 'fill'...however just like the word 'replete' (to fill) the word 'replenish' doesn't mean fill again. Could the translators have used the word 'plenish'?

 

 

In 1611 when the King James Bible was published, the word "replenish" meant "to fill." So JAH was telling Adam and Eve to fill the earth! It had never before been filled with people, and it was Jah抯 will that the earth should be filled up with people.

 

 

But as well let抯 take a look at the Hebrew word for 揜eplenish� in Genesis 1:28�

 

 

The word for 搑eplenish� in the Hebrew is male' {maw-lay'} or mala� and it simply means � 搕o fill攨or 憈o be full拝not to Refill�.

 

 

Many who support the Gap Theory say that in Genesis 1:28, Jah told Adam to "reFILL" the earth. They claim that this meant that Adam was to refill the world that had become empty and void of life due to some form of prior judgment from Jah.

 

 

But this argument is in error. For the Hebrew word "male" which was translated "replenish" in 1611 does not mean "to fill again". In 1611 the word replenish simply meant "to fill" (as in the First time). Many of the words we use today once had other meanings.

 

 

Jah wanted the earth to be FILLED with life, and this would include plants, animals and people!

 

 

Was the earth really unfilled in Genesis 1:2? Was it filled with plant life yet? Was it filled with rays of light at this point? Was it filled with plants and trees? Was it filled with birds and fish and land animals? Were the heavens filled with planets and stars? Was the earth filled with men?

 

 

The earth was quite unfilled! But as you read Genesis 1 you see that JAH did a wonderful job of filling His earth with life! See Psalm 24:1.

Jah抯 purpose was to prepare the earth for man! Read Isaiah 45:18. For what purpose did JAH create the earth? " To Be Inhabited."

 

 

Jah wanted to fill the earth with men (see Gen. 1:28). Jah wanted to fill the earth with living things! If Jah wanted to have an unfilled and uninhabited earth, then He would have stopped after Genesis 1:1. But Jah formed the earth and made it and established it and created it TO BE INHABITED! Jah spent the 6 days of creation getting the earth ready for men!

 

 

Another point of consideration is this�

 

 

The Problem of the Word "BECAME":

 

 

Those who believe in the GAP want to re-translate Genesis 1:2 so that it will read this way:

 

 

"And the earth BECAME without form and void."

 

 

But the Scripture says, "And the earth was without form and void."

 

(Note: Most translations of Genesis 1:2 have "was" and not "became."

 

 

Genesis 1:2 says that the earth WAS this way, it did not become this way. What was the earth like when Jah first created it? It was without form and void! It had no form or shape卛t was matter without design.

 

 

The word "was" is translated from the Hebrew word "haythah".

 

 

Some claim that "haythah" means "became", as in the "earth became without form and void", but this is not correct. In order for "haythah" to be translated as "became" it must be preceded by a preposition meaning "to".

 

 

The Hebrew construction of verse two is disjunctive and is describing the result of the creation described in verse one. It is not describing the result of any judgment.

 

 

Why was it without form and void? Because that is how Jah made it! He made this earth material to continue His mighty creation and formation of this place we call the Earth�

 

 

Jah was not finished in Genesis 1:1 with the earth yet! It only just began, which is what we clearly see if we don抰 read between the lines匢t was still early on in DAY one of creation! Jah made His place of Habitation called Heaven which is a Spiritual Realm for Spiritual Beings.

 

 

If the earth was originally WITHOUT FORM and VOID, then what does this mean? Why would Jah create the earth this way? What do these words mean?

"Without form" simply means UNFORMED or WITHOUT SHAPE! The earth was UNFORMED, it had NO SHAPE OR STRUCTURE OR ORDER. It was just MATTER厖.LIKE CLAY.

 

 

It needed to be formed and shaped and prepared for man! It was also "void" which means devoid of life, empty or UNFILLED. The earth at this point was very empty (no plants, no animals, no people, etc.). The original earth was not ruined and spoiled but it was UNFORMED and UNFILLED!!

 

 

Until this point THERE WAS DARKNESS covering the EARTH MATERIAL that was IMMERSED in WATER. In other words DARKNESS was everywhere匛ven in Heaven. Why? Jah never made light yet? Some people want to say he made lights in the heavens, but it doesn抰 say that, and then why say 憀et there be light�?

 

 

After making His Spiritual Heaven, He then made the Physical material called 揈ARTH� which people call matter but everything physical upon this dry land and including the waters is called 揈arth.�

 

 

This Earth material is a combination of Water and Material. This why there was no form, shape or actual body when Jah first made the earth, He first made the material called 揈arth� to later form a sphere when He brought the waters together and brought forth the Earth Material from the Waters. And Jah divided the Waters from the Dry Land. Yet they Unite as the Earth.

 

 

Soil, Jewels, Wood, plants, metals, humans, animals, stone and water are all Earth.

 

 

Genesis 1:2 simply describes an earth at the early stages of creation before any formation or order was originated for it, but it was earth that had never been yet been cursed. It was UN-CURSED, but it was also UNFINISHED. In order for it to be cursed it had to be first be blessed�.and that wasn抰 until the end of the Sixth day when Jah said everything is VERY GOOD.

 

 

Genesis 1:2 is Jah抯 perfect description of the early earth on the first day of creation! What was the earth like at that time? It was LIKE HE SAID, 憌ithout form and void!� 

 In other words, it was UNFINISHED!

 

There were two things that Jah needed to do to finish his work of creation--He needed to FORM the earth and FILL the earth!

 

The expression "unformed and unfilled" does not mean that the earth was imperfect at all, it simply means without shape or form. Even in Genesis 1:2 the earth was PERFECT in this unformed state in the sense that it was everything that Jah intended it to be at that point in time! Jah does everything perfectly! He makes no mistakes! The earth was perfectly created, but it was not yet finished. It was not yet complete.

 

But when you come to the end of the creation week, Jah looks at the earth, which He had formed and filled and completed, and He says "Very Good" (GENESIS 1:31).

 

 

�        Isaiah 45:18 tells us that Jah "formed the earth."

 

 

Genesis 2:7 tells us that Jah "formed man of the dust of the ground."

 

 

Think of a master potter. He starts with an unformed and unfinished lump of clay! It doesn抰 look very good! But there is nothing evil about an unfinished lump of clay! Just give the potter time to do his work! He will begin to form it and shape it and prepare it in just the right way!

 

Jah is the Master Artist! He formed the earth and perfectly prepared it for life. He has given our earth the touch of the Master抯 Hand! If you ever doubt this, just take a look outside at the world He has made! Jah抯 artistry and wisdom and masterful design are seen everywhere.

 

 

The Spirit of Jah, or the Breath of Life, is what is given to man to live....we are Earthlings with the Spirit of Jah...the soul is not another you, your soul is basically your body, and I say this because before man had the breath of life he was a dead soul, a soul without the breath of life, and when JAH breathed into man, and connected him to his environment, then man became a LIVING SOUL....

 

 

�        Genesis 2:7 - [7] And JAH Almighty formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

 

 

At any rate, this newly made earth matter (material) was submerged in the DARK WATERS OF THE DEEP. We know this because it is from the dark waters that this earth material emerged forth from.

 

 

Now one thing to notice is that water is  partially earth material, in other words, we see that dark waters are present at the beginning.  Water is partially made up of earthly material and a Spiritual substance as well...H-2-O or water, is 2 parts spiritual (2 parts oxygen) and 1 part earthly (hydrogen).. ...this is why water is symbolically associated with the Spirit of Jah...

 

 

Bear in mind that the earth was without form for two days because Jah did not start to shape it, dress it and put life on it until the third day of creation and afterwards. And on this third day Jah separated the Earth material from the water and brought forth the land out of the water of which is also in the water.

 

 

�        Genesis 1:9, 13 - [9] And Jah said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so厖厖 [13] And the evening and the morning were the third day.

 

 

�        2 Peter 3:5 - [5] For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of JAH the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

 

 

What is vital to note is that darkness was upon the face of the deep first!! Before the first day of creation darkness was everywhere because Jah never began to create LIGHT as of yet厖.

 

 

�        Genesis 1:2 -卆nd darkness was upon the face of the deep�.

 

 

Then Jah COMMANDED THE LIGHT TO SHINE FROM THE DARKNESS AND said "LET THERE BE LIGHT"....

 

 

When Jah said let there be light, He was commanding the Light to shine forth from the Darkness.... just like the Scriptures say.

 

 

�        Genesis 1:3-4 - [2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Jah moved upon the face of the waters. [3] And Jah said, Let there be light: and there was light. [4] And Jah saw the light, that it was good: and Jah divided the light from the darkness.

 

 

�        2 Corinthians 4:6 - [6] For Jah, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of Jah in the face of Jahoshuwah the Messijah.

 

 

I find the above Scriptures to be in harmony and I believe JAH. If there was darkness there was darkness, when He said let there be light there was light...

 

 

 

peace.

shalom YHWHPeople,

you present a problem that arises when people try to make Hebrew fit
Western thinking.  i appreciate your post.

the focus of your post is the word "hayah".  the confusion is that the
"perfect" tense in hebrew is usually translated as "past" tense in
English.  however, in Hebrew, there is not future, past or present.
verbs signify completed (past) or incomplete (future) actions.

the word, hayah, is in the perfect (complete) voice.  so, when you read
your post again and you associated references, read and interpret them
with the completed and incomplete actions in mind.

shalom,
yehochanan

i.e. the earth originally had form and was not void and something must

creation of the EArth) - part 2 of 2

> Peace,

> Is there a time period between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2? Many people
believe there is鈥hey even believe it鈥檚 millions of years
between these 2 verse鈥ound confusing? To some it is very
clear鈥o let us examine the Scriptures to see what JAH is saying
about His Creation.
>
>
> How many millions of years are involved in the 鈥榞ap鈥�
theory, 2, 3 million? Hundreds of thousands of years maybe?
>
>
> First of all, as Student of the Messijah, aren鈥檛 we supposed to
read the lines or verses of Scripture? Why are people trying to read
between the lines?
>
>
> Please dear student; do not look for a GAP or for anything else
between two verses. In reading the Scriptures, Jah wants us to read the
verses, not between the verses.
>
>
> We need to read the lines, not between the lines!
>
>
> Your heart will never be blessed by reading the gap between any
Scriptures, like for example, Hebrews 13:5 and Hebrews 13:6. But if you
read Hebrews 13:5 and then continue on to read Hebrews 13:6 and then if
you believe those verses (wonderful promises!), your heart will be
greatly encouraged!
>
>
> We must read Genesis 1:1 and then read Genesis 1:2. Do not fall into
the deception of attempting to read between these verses, because there
is nothing there!
>
>
> Bear this fact in mind dear reader:
>
>
> 路         The person who reads between the verses can make the
Scriptures say anything he wants. However, the person who reads only the
verses is better able to see what Jah has said. Read Jah鈥檚 Word,
not the GAPS!
>
>
> So back to the million year, I mean dollar question, Is there really a
GAP of millions of years between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2?
>
> Read Exodus 20:11.
>
>
> 路         Exodus 20:11 - [11] For in six days JAH made heaven and
earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore JAH blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
>
>
> How long did that verse say it took JAH to make the heavens and the
earth and the sea and everything that is in the heavens, the earth and
the sea?
>
>
> 路         "For in six days JAH made heaven and earth, the sea, and
all that in them is,
>
>
> Was the beginning of the creation of the heavens and the earth in
Genesis 1:1 included in this six-day period? I would say yes, others may
say no. Jah said He made the heavens and the Earth in the Sabbath
command and in Genesis 1:1 it states the beginning of the creation being
the heaven and the earth.
>
>
> 路         "In the beginning Jah created the heaven and the earth."
>
>
> If all of Jah鈥檚 creation from Genesis 1:1-1:31 took only 6
days, then how can there be a GAP of millions of years between Gen. 1:1
and Gen. 1:2?
>
>
> Also, Exodus 20:11 does not say "For in six days JAH RE-MADE the
heavens and earth!"
>
>
> About the word "replenish"
>
>
> 路         Genesis 1:28 says, "Be fruitful, and multiply and
replenish the earth."
>
>
> The word "replenish" does not mean "to fill again" or "to refill," but
it simply means, "to fill." This is an old English word to mean
'fill'...however just like the word 'replete' (to fill) the word
'replenish' doesn't mean fill again. Could the translators have used the
word 'plenish'?
>
>
> In 1611 when the King James Bible was published, the word "replenish"
meant "to fill." So JAH was telling Adam and Eve to fill the earth! It
had never before been filled with people, and it was Jah鈥檚 will
that the earth should be filled up with people.
>
>
> But as well let鈥檚 take a look at the Hebrew word for
鈥淩eplenish鈥� in Genesis 1:28鈥�
>
>
> The word for 鈥渞eplenish鈥� in the Hebrew is male'
{maw-lay'} or mala鈥� and it simply means 鈥" 鈥渢o
fill鈥濃�r 鈥榯o be full鈥欌�ot to Refill鈥�.
>
>
> Many who support the Gap Theory say that in Genesis 1:28, Jah told
Adam to "reFILL" the earth. They claim that this meant that Adam was to
refill the world that had become empty and void of life due to some form
of prior judgment from Jah.
>
>
> But this argument is in error. For the Hebrew word "male" which was
translated "replenish" in 1611 does not mean "to fill again". In 1611
the word replenish simply meant "to fill" (as in the First time). Many
of the words we use today once had other meanings.
>
>
> Jah wanted the earth to be FILLED with life, and this would include
plants, animals and people!
>
>
> Was the earth really unfilled in Genesis 1:2? Was it filled with plant
life yet? Was it filled with rays of light at this point? Was it filled
with plants and trees? Was it filled with birds and fish and land
animals? Were the heavens filled with planets and stars? Was the earth
filled with men?
>
>
> The earth was quite unfilled! But as you read Genesis 1 you see that
JAH did a wonderful job of filling His earth with life! See Psalm 24:1.
>
>
> Jah鈥檚 purpose was to prepare the earth for man! Read Isaiah
45:18. For what purpose did JAH create the earth? " To Be Inhabited."
>
>
> Jah wanted to fill the earth with men (see Gen. 1:28). Jah wanted to
fill the earth with living things! If Jah wanted to have an unfilled and
uninhabited earth, then He would have stopped after Genesis 1:1. But Jah
formed the earth and made it and established it and created it TO BE
INHABITED! Jah spent the 6 days of creation getting the earth ready for
men!
>
>
> Another point of consideration is this鈥�
>
>
> The Problem of the Word "BECAME":
>
>
> Those who believe in the GAP want to re-translate Genesis 1:2 so that
it will read this way:
>
>
> "And the earth BECAME without form and void."
>
>
> But the Scripture says, "And the earth was without form and void."
>
> (Note: Most translations of Genesis 1:2 have "was" and not "became."
>
>
> Genesis 1:2 says that the earth WAS this way, it did not become this
way. What was the earth like when Jah first created it? It was without
form and void! It had no form or shape鈥t was matter without
design.
>
>
> The word "was" is translated from the Hebrew word "haythah".
>
>
> Some claim that "haythah" means "became", as in the "earth became
without form and void", but this is not correct. In order for "haythah"
to be translated as "became" it must be preceded by a preposition
meaning "to".
>
>
> The Hebrew construction of verse two is disjunctive and is describing
the result of the creation described in verse one. It is not describing
the result of any judgment.
>
>
> Why was it without form and void? Because that is how Jah made it! He
made this earth material to continue His mighty creation and formation
of this place we call the Earth鈥�
>
>
> Jah was not finished in Genesis 1:1 with the earth yet! It only just
began, which is what we clearly see if we don鈥檛 read between the
lines鈥t was still early on in DAY one of creation! Jah made His
place of Habitation called Heaven which is a Spiritual Realm for
Spiritual Beings.
>
>
> If the earth was originally WITHOUT FORM and VOID, then what does this
mean? Why would Jah create the earth this way? What do these words mean?
>
>
> "Without form" simply means UNFORMED or WITHOUT SHAPE! The earth was
UNFORMED, it had NO SHAPE OR STRUCTURE OR ORDER. It was just
MATTER鈥︹��.LIKE CLAY.
>
>
> It needed to be formed and shaped and prepared for man! It was also
"void" which means devoid of life, empty or UNFILLED. The earth at this
point was very empty (no plants, no animals, no people, etc.). The
original earth was not ruined and spoiled but it was UNFORMED and
UNFILLED!!
>
>
> Until this point THERE WAS DARKNESS covering the EARTH MATERIAL that
was IMMERSED in WATER. In other words DARKNESS was everywhere鈥ven
in Heaven. Why? Jah never made light yet? Some people want to say he
made lights in the heavens, but it doesn鈥檛 say that, and then why
say 鈥榣et there be light鈥�?
>
>
> After making His Spiritual Heaven, He then made the Physical material
called 鈥淓ARTH鈥� which people call matter but everything
physical upon this dry land and including the waters is called
鈥淓arth.鈥�
>
>
> This Earth material is a combination of Water and Material. This why
there was no form, shape or actual body when Jah first made the earth,
He first made the material called 鈥淓arth鈥� to later form a
sphere when He brought the waters together and brought forth the Earth
Material from the Waters. And Jah divided the Waters from the Dry Land.
Yet they Unite as the Earth.
>
>
> Soil, Jewels, Wood, plants, metals, humans, animals, stone and water
are all Earth.
>
>
> Genesis 1:2 simply describes an earth at the early stages of creation
before any formation or order was originated for it, but it was earth
that had never been yet been cursed. It was UN-CURSED, but it was also
UNFINISHED. In order for it to be cursed it had to be first be
blessed鈥�.and that wasn鈥檛 until the end of the Sixth day
when Jah said everything is VERY GOOD.
>
>
> Genesis 1:2 is Jah鈥檚 perfect description of the early earth on
the first day of creation! What was the earth like at that time? It was
LIKE HE SAID, 鈥榳ithout form and void!鈥�
>
>
>  In other words, it was UNFINISHED!
>
>
> There were two things that Jah needed to do to finish his work of
creation--He needed to FORM the earth and FILL the earth!
>
>
>
> The expression "unformed and unfilled" does not mean that the earth
was imperfect at all, it simply means without shape or form. Even in
Genesis 1:2 the earth was PERFECT in this unformed state in the sense
that it was everything that Jah intended it to be at that point in time!
Jah does everything perfectly! He makes no mistakes! The earth was
perfectly created, but it was not yet finished. It was not yet complete.
>
>
> But when you come to the end of the creation week, Jah looks at the
earth, which He had formed and filled and completed, and He says "Very
Good" (GENESIS 1:31).
>
>
> 路        Isaiah 45:18 tells us that Jah "formed the earth."
>
>
> Genesis 2:7 tells us that Jah "formed man of the dust of the ground."
>
>
> Think of a master potter. He starts with an unformed and unfinished
lump of clay! It doesn鈥檛 look very good! But there is nothing
evil about an unfinished lump of clay! Just give the potter time to do
his work! He will begin to form it and shape it and prepare it in just
the right way!
>
>
> Jah is the Master Artist! He formed the earth and perfectly prepared
it for life. He has given our earth the touch of the Master鈥檚
Hand! If you ever doubt this, just take a look outside at the world He
has made! Jah鈥檚 artistry and wisdom and masterful design are seen
everywhere.
>
>
> The Spirit of Jah, or the Breath of Life, is what is given to man to
live....we are Earthlings with the Spirit of Jah...the soul is not
another you, your soul is basically your body, and I say this because
before man had the breath of life he was a dead soul, a soul without the
breath of life, and when JAH breathed into man, and connected him to his
environment, then man became a LIVING SOUL....
>
>
> 路        Genesis 2:7 - [7] And JAH Almighty formed man of the dust
of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and
man became a living soul.
>
>
> At any rate, this newly made earth matter (material) was submerged in
the DARK WATERS OF THE DEEP. We know this because it is from the dark
waters that this earth material emerged forth from.
>
>
> Now one thing to notice is that water is  partially earth material, in
other words, we see that dark waters are present at the beginning.
Water is partially made up of earthly material and a Spiritual substance
as well...H-2-O or water, is 2 parts spiritual (2 parts oxygen) and 1
part earthly (hydrogen).....this is why water is symbolically associated
with the Spirit of Jah...
>
>
> Bear in mind that the earth was without form for two days because Jah
did not start to shape it, dress it and put life on it until the third
day of creation and afterwards. And on this third day Jah separated the
Earth material from the water and brought forth the land out of the
water of which is also in the water.
>
>
> 路        Genesis 1:9, 13 - [9] And Jah said, Let the waters under
the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land
appear: and it was so鈥︹�︹�︹�� [13] And the evening and the
morning were the third day.
>
>
> 路        2 Peter 3:5 - [5] For this they willingly are ignorant
of, that by the word of JAH the heavens were of old, and the earth
standing out of the water and in the water:
>
>
> What is vital to note is that darkness was upon the face of the deep
first!! Before the first day of creation darkness was everywhere because
Jah never began to create LIGHT as of yet鈥︹��.

>
> 路        Genesis 1:2 -鈥nd darkness was upon the face of the
deep鈥�.

> Then Jah COMMANDED THE LIGHT TO SHINE FROM THE DARKNESS AND said "LET
THERE BE LIGHT"....

forth from the Darkness....just like the Scriptures say.

void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Jah
moved upon the face of the waters. [3] And Jah said, Let there be light:
and there was light. [4] And Jah saw the light, that it was good: and
Jah divided the light from the darkness.

to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light
of the knowledge of the glory of Jah in the face of Jahoshuwah the

• Matthew 2:3 - [3] When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jahrusalem with him.

Witness # 1 - An Angel visited Zechariah

• Luke 1:8 - [8] And it came to pass, that while he (Zechariah) executed the priest's office before Jah in the order of his course, [9] According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of JAH.[10] And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense. [11] And there appeared unto him an angel of jah standing on the right side of the altar of incense.[12] And when Zachariah saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

• Luke 1:26 - [26] And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from Jah unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, [27] To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. [28] And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, JAH is with thee: blessed art thou among women. [29] And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. [30] And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with Jah. [31] And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JAHSHUWAH. [32] He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and JAH Almighty shall give unto him the throne of his father David: [33] And he shall reign over the house of Jahcob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

• Matthew 1:19 - [19] Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. [20] But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of JAH appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Jahseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. [21] And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JAHSHUWAH: for he shall save his people from their sins. [22] Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of JAH by the prophet, saying, [23] Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, Jah with us. [24] Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of JAH had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: [25] And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JAHSHUWAH.

• Luke 2:8 - [8] And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. [9] And, lo, the angel of JAH came upon them, and the glory of JAH shone round about them: and they were sore afraid (tROUBLED). [10] And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. [11] For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is the Messijah the Master. [12] And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. [13] And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising JAH, and saying, [14] Glory to JAH in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. [15] And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which JAH hath made known unto us. [16] And they came with haste, and found Mariam, and Jahseph, and the babe lying in a manger. [17] And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. [18] And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

• Matthew 2:4 - [4] And when he (Herod) had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where the Messijah should be born.

1. Herod gathered all the chief priests and scribes. This is showing us that Herod knew that the Jahzraelites would know about the prophecy because it is a Scriptural prophecy.

2. The scribes said 揊OR THUS IT IS WRITTEN BY THE PROPHET��.The wise men, as all of Jah抯 wise men do, also used the writings of the Prophets and the Torah to read and understand Prophecy not celestial observations.

• Matthew 2:7 - Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star (Angel) appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star (Angel), which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star (Angel), they rejoiced with exceeding great joy

• The Holy Spirit is tending each one of us - with our permission - like a gardener tends his plot or a shepherd his flock.
• JAH expects us to be producing Holy fruit in thought, word and deed.
  This is the purpose of our salvation.

• Jeremiah 2:3 - Jahzrael was holiness unto JAH, and the firstfruits of His increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith JAH.
• Romans 8:21-23 - �.And not only they, but our selves also which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we our selves groan within our selves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
• James 1:17-18 - Of His own will begat us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

• Pride: Thinking better of ourselves like we are not sinners or that we are spiritually more righteous than others. This was the first and most dangerous sin.
• Greed.
• Jealousy, envy and secret hate for those around you.
• Misjudgment. Judging and coming to erroneous conclusions.
• An unforgiving heart. This can be the case in many people.
