Genesis 1:1says “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.”
God likes beginnings and endings since He is the Alpha and the Omega. The beginning of Genesis 1:1 appears to be a perfect, orderly cosmos as God creates the blue-green Earth surrounded by pinkish, oxygen-filled heaven and a protective firmament of water. With the addition of inhabitants, animals, birds, fish, insects, reptiles including vegan dinosaurs, land, greenery, flowers, mountains, waterways, this time period could have been thousands, millions, or even billions of years long depending on when Lucifer became jealous and wanted God’s throne but he got kicked out of third Heaven into second heaven.
This brand new Earth was created by the Trinity working together as One. God spoke the words of what He wanted and THE WORD (JESUS) made it. THE HOLY SPIRIT created an environment of perfect harmony on the blue planet as a trial-run planet of perfection put into action. God wanted His obedient Angels to see how good and how long things could and would last with all their love for Him and willingness to help mankind.
WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE EONS BEFORE GOD MADE HEAVEN & EARTH?
One explanation of what could have happened before Genesis 1:1 is that God created His 12 Orders of Angels to observe Him filling the solar systems with galaxies full of stars, milky ways, planets, moons, and nebulae to wow mankind with the power and wonder of God and help them navigate their travels on the Earth.
The twelve different orders of Angels were probably assigned different responsibilities to assist mankind on the Earth. As man multiplied on the Earth, the Angels learned how to teach men and women how to grow crops, preserve food, melt iron for tools for farming, hunting, and felling trees for shelters; how to make fire for cooking and for warmth; how to make boats for travel and nets for fishing; how to make medical cures from plants; delivering and educating children and how to appreciate and worship God.
Genesis 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 tells us when and what God created, and we can figure some of the details through reading other scripture like Jeremiah and Isaiah. They don’t tell us what God did before He created the heaven and the earth but when we read Genesis 1:2 we see that Lucifer caused something catastrophic tohappen at some point in time after God created the heaven and the earth.
Lucifer was God’s most handsome and most beautiful of all the Angels whose body was covered with every jeweled gem God had made to decorate Heaven. Lucifer’s special talent was leading the worship in music in the throne room. While walking up and down on the gemstones inside of God, Lucifer felt the waves of love and worship coming from the billions of Angels worshipping God. The magnificent feeling of love and power made him lust for more power until it went to his head to take over God’s throne.
Before Lucifer and his fallen angels could pull it off, God kicked him and the one-third of the fallen angels out of third Heaven into the dark, freezing second Heaven with the solar systems, stars, planets, moons, and galaxies. The fallen angels are stuck there but as man sins they have longer access to Earth to tempt mankind to worship them as gods in exchange for power, technology, and wealth. The Earth became filled with so much evil that God had to freeze the Earth upside down for how long we don’t know but God told Isaiah and Jeremiah this is what happened in Genesis 1:2.
Isaiah 24:1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
Jeremiah 4:
[23] I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. [24] I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. [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. [27] For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
