Bible Question:
Are the planets mentioned anywhere in the Bible and the fact that God created them? Thanks. Blessings, Pam |
Bible Answer: Pam: The word planet(s) is not found in the NASB. It appears once in the KJV, 2 Kings 23:5, and once in the Amplified Bible, Isaiah 34.4. ...... Genesis 1:1 is a summary statement of God's creative work. He created all things, the heavens and the earth, i.e., the universe -- and this most assuredly includes the planets, not only of our solar system , but the planets of all other solar systems in our galaxy and all other galaxies in the universe: everything that was made. Here's what the Bible says about it: "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" (John 1:1-3). God created all things _ex nihilo_ i.e., from nothing. ..... Genesis 1:1: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." ...... All Things. "Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer and he who formed thee from the womb: I am the Lord who maketh all things (Isaiah 44:24). Again I say, All Things! ....... That God created everything is also taught in Eccl. 1:5; Jer. 10:16; Col. 1:16; and Heb. 1:2. The teaching of Genesis 1:1 is beautifully captured by the prophet in Isaiah. 45:18. --Hank |
