1 | GOD CAST SATAN FROM HEAVEN? | Rev 12:4 | prayon | 95198 | ||
Greetings laststep and welcome to the forum, The bible does not specifically say when this event happened. There is a theory called the 'gap theory' that it occurs between Gen 1:1 and 1:2. In verse 1 it states that God created the heavens and the earth. In verse 2 it says that the earth was without form and void. Form comes from the Hebrew word "tohu" which means 'From an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), that is, desert; figuratively a worthless thing; adverbially in vain: - confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness'. Void is the Hebrew word which means 'From an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, that is, (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin: - emptiness, void. Since we know that God does not create anything that is not perfect there must of been a space of time inbetween the 2 verses where the earth went from perfect to chaos. According to the Gap theory it is believed that: 1) a pre-Adamic race existed 2) Lucifer and his angels may have ruled over the nations 3) that it was at this time that Lucifer was thrown out of heaven. Hope this helps. prayon (definitions from Strongs Concordance) |

Prayon You posted your response to me and since most people don't read the forum except what has been directly psoted to them I copied and posted your response to Laststep. I also added the disclaimer that this was just a theory and not fact. That there was no conclusive evidence within the Bible to establish this theory as fact. I hop eyou don't mind me making that clear to Laststep. Be Blessed EdB |
