Verses 1-13\u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

   There is a lot more to how the world began than what the modern day scientists think. It started off with no shape of any sort and was dark and empty. We are told that the world has foundations and pillars in the constructions of this globe that we live on (Job 9:6-10)\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Science tells us (and we see it in the eruption of volcanoes) that the centre of the earth is a boiling mass. Just as Matthew tells us that God has already prepared a kingdom for His people, there is already a place prepared for the devil and his angels. This place is popularly supposed to be the centre of the earth, but seeing the outside of the globe is going to be done away with, it could be somewhere more permanent!\u00a0 (Matthew 25:34, 41; 2 Peter 3:7-13)<\/em> We wonder what the source of the original light was, the first thing that God created. The earth was already spinning as there was a clear definition of night and day. The waters above (mists and clouds) were separated from the waters beneath (seas and oceans) by the atmosphere, air and clouds on the second day (Job 38:4-12).<\/em> The third day brought the dry land, oceans, seas and rivers, as well as the vegetation, and the earth was now ready to bear fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Then the next thing that God put into place was the order of the heavens\u2026.something that man has never plumbed the depth of. Outer space with its myriad of stars were all put in place by God and given names. Yet puny man dares to defy this One and downgrade His wonderful creation to evolution at the worst and Mother Nature at the best! \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0We can but say in wonder and awe with the Psalmist, \u201cOh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and His wonderful works! (Psalm 107:8)<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0 And again, \u201cO Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all!\u201d\u00a0 (Psalm 104:24)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Man never has and never will, be able to find and count all the stars in the universe\u2026space is impenetrable! Light was already in existence, but God now made it more definite with the sun and moon giving time and seasons as we know them today. They have never varied since they began, except for the two times mentioned in the Old Testament (Joshua 10:13-14, and Isaiah 38:8)<\/em> and will continue until the end of time. It is amazing to see the sun move along the edge of the horizon every morning, rising in a different place each day, and with the seasons varying in their set order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Not only that, but we know that just the right amount of sun reaches the earth for man\u2019s existence\u2026.. any more and man would frizzle and any less and man would freeze!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God brought the earth from dark to light, God spoke and it burst into sight,<\/em><\/strong> <\/em><\/strong> The air <\/em><\/strong> and all the world around, Were put in place, along with every\u00a0 bound.<\/em><\/strong> God has ordained the moon and sun, And given night when work is done;<\/em><\/strong> The stars come out in scores galore, As man looks up, there still are more!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
