Bible Question: GEN. 1:2,,ORIGINAL DIALECT, " THE EARTH -BECAME- WITHOUT FORM AND VOID". WHAT WAS IT BEFORE? |
Bible Answer: Greetings fellow christian. I am new to this sight and just posted a question closely connecting with yours. In Isaiah 45:18 the Lord states, through Isaiah "He created it no in vain, He formed it to be inhabited:" The Hebrew word for vain is "tohu" which is the same word used in Gen 1:1. Since He did not create the world in vain it must have become that way. Using this we can only assume that the world was originally, perhaps many thousands of years before Adam, a living lush world. Would explain fossils and other anomolies. Some commentators and even one translation (the Companion Bible) allude to this. What caused this world to become void and waste? Some claim that it may have been the battle during the original fall of satan. We will probably never know until we arrive and all questions are answered. |
