Bible Question:
In reading Ex.20:11 then comparing it to Gen.1:1 God created Heaven, and Earth within the 6 day period of time, does this mean, there were no Angels until the first day of creation? If this is the case, Satan must have fallen within that same 6 day period, in order for him to have been present in the garden for the temptation of Eve. YenIsaRap |
Bible Answer: Dear Yen, That's a good question. Though we know that God created the Angels, the Bible does not tell us when this was done. Read Job 38:4-7 and you will see that the Angles were there when God created the heavens and laid the foundation of the Earth. Remember, God is not constrained by time or space like we are, and the Angles are more a part of His spiritual realm then they are part of our temporal world, though they are able to be in either the spiritual realm or our temporal world, as God allows.
