(11) GAP THEORY - CREATION ?

(Gen. 1:1-2)- In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters./ Satan had already been created, rebelled and been judged and cast out of heaven to the earth, along with all the angels that followed him.. (Luke 10:18)- Jesus said, "I saw Satan, like lightening, fall from heaven". 6000 yrs ago the earth was already there, but was without form. God recreated or renewed what was already there. God always created things good, not in a destroyed form. When was the beginning? No one knows but God. This is the 'GAP', between Gen. 1:1 & Gen. 1:2. It may have been millions or even billions of yrs. If a star is 100,000 light yrs. away, the light we see today from that particular star left that star 100,000 yrs. ago; so creation of that star was before then. (Matt. 22:30)- In the resurrection we will be like the angels. Do you think that perhaps at one time they were similar to us? Someone or something occupied the earth after it's original creation. Satan had been cast out of heaven to the earth and more than likely brought the earth and it's occupants to corruption and destruction. We know that even now Satan is corrupting the earth and bringing it to destruction, again. This will be the last time because at the white Throne Judgement he goes permanently into the 'Lake of Fire'.-(Rev. 20:10) (Rev. 12:9)-Satan and his angels are cast out of heaven again. He has great wrath, knowing his time is short. This begins the 'Abomination of Desolation' and the 2nd half of the Trib. period, called the 'Great Tribulation'. After Satan was originally cast out of heaven, he still came back to report to God. But, God limited Satan's torments of Job. Satan must obey God. Then, why does God allow Satan to bring such misery on innocent people? The ungodly like to blame God. Why don't they blame Satan? The reason is that Satan is speaking through them. The Gap Theory would explain Dinosaur bones in the earth. After the last resurrection, there will not be any bones of people left in the earth, but there may be animal bones. There will be ashes of the people that burned in the Lake of Fire that consumes the surface of the earth (2 Pet.3:10) as Jesus begins remodeling the earth in preparation for the 'New Jerusalem'. -(Rev. 21:10) (Mal.4:1, 3)- For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, and all the proud yes, all the wicked will be stubble. You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the sole of your feet. The 'Lake of Fire' is in the center of the earth. Jesus brings it out to destroy the bodies of the ungodly and prepare the earth for remodeling. The spirits of the ungodly will go into the earth's center, as the fire recedes, to where Antichrist & the False Prophet have been for 1,000 yrs., for their eternal separation and torment.(Actually, I think that Antichrist & False Prophet are the same person. Politically he is Antichrist & as a religious leader he is the False Prophet) There will be no seas (salt water). The earth will again be a paradise, like the garden of Eden was. We will walk in and out the gates of the New Jerusalem, where our mansions are, and tread on the ashes of the unrighteous.-(Mal. 4:3) (Matt. 5:5)-Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. We will have a body like the one Jesus has.-(Phil. 3:21) After Jesus' resurrection, He could disappear and reappear miles away. Using my imagination, I think that we'll be able to travel with the speed of thought. Who needs a jet plane? What will our bodies be like? (Heb. 4:12)- The Word of God (Jesus) is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart./ When we get saved, Jesus divides our soul from our spirit and then indwells our spirit with the presence of the Holy Spirit. But, what about the joints and marrow. Jesus told His disciples, (Luke 24:39)- He was flesh & bone. No mention of blood. It is generally believed that we will have flesh & bone without blood. Marrow is in the bone and it makes blood; joints are bone. Our bones then will have no blood making marrow. We will have no digestive system. We will still enjoy eating. Jesus ate fish. No outhouses in heaven. WHADDA YA THINK ? Con
