Greetings and welcome to the forum. Your question is in regards to Gen: 1:2 and the length of time. Genesis 1:2 (NKJV) 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. This is a highly controversial subject in some Christian circles. “The earth was”, is actually translated from the Hebrew words, (tohu wabohu), which suggest that it became something different then how it was created. It literally became a garbage dump that stinks. This would explain what the agenda was of Satan when he was cast out of heaven along with one third of all the angles. What most refer to a six day of creation, with this theory in mind, would actually be six days of restoration so the earth would be sufficient for the life of mankind. Along with this thesis is what is called the concept of the angelic conflict as a means of settling the assumption by Lucifer, that a loving God couldn’t send any of his creation to a place of fire and brimstone for an eternity. The creation of mankind being lower then the angles, more or less, settles this misconception with out any doubt, which the following confirms about Satan’s useless rebuttal; Matthew 25:41 (NKJV) 41 Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: When ever an unbeliever believes in the finish work of Christ on the cross it resolves the angelic conflict and clarifies that God is not only a God of love but a God of absolute righteousness and justice, i.e. the essence of God’s Holyness. “What the righteousness of God demands the justice of God must execute!” Lucifer’s stay of execution is drawing to a rapid close when he and one third of the angel will be cast into the lake of fire along with all unbelievers at the white throne judgment. Rev. 20:10-15 CDBJ |

Problem with a preGenesis 2 earth is the Sun was not created until the 4th day. Gen 1:14. Plants need the Sun light for Photosynthesis so if there was a world before it could not have had plants. Because gen 1:14 doesn't mention a recreation of the Sun but rather the creation of the Sun. Also God only created light in Gen 1:3 so again this first world would have been pitch black dark. |
