Pastor Guzik - i am teaching Genesis 1 - 3 to international college students and you have given me great new insights that I will use even this week. Thank you for your love of God's word.
I appreciate the fact that you always address the other theories about scripture and then give your interpretation challenging them with gentleness and respect. :) It’s an admirable trait of yours. :)
I’m so excited and so honored to walk through the Bible verse by verse with you! My mind is expanding because of the comprehensive way that you teach 🙌 not to be pumped full of knowledge, but so I can know my Savior more.
@@DavidGuzikEnduringWord I am a brother in Christ, & fascinated by your video, thank you for the work. I agree with you. i also rehect deep time death of the dinosaurs & FINALLY have the scientific proof needed to PROVE, dinos dies out roughly 12000 yr Ago... All of it mainstream, Accepted, & peer reviewed & oft referred to... please tell me youd be interested in seeing this my brother :)
Thank you for being faithful to deliver and clarify the truth of the Bible. I understand the Bible more and more because of your studies. I use the studies if Enduring Bible, to recommend and encourage my Sisters to dig deeper.
David, enjoying your messages so much!! you help me go deeper into the Word. My husband believes God created the heavens and earth but without any living things at that point- just the stars-the land and then Satan was cast down to earth and it became null and void… then the rest of the creation came after that. We will find out in heaven… I appreciate your teaching style and how you bring it all back to Jesus. Thank you and blessings.
I really thank God for your ministry David and believe God has given you a true calling . I know it’s not popular but I do believe in 6 days creation I take the bible literally Looking forward to hearing your thoughts here David and really pray for you to have the courage and truth. Just finished your sermons through Isiah to 26 (the first part ) really found an understanding of the word . Only thing I’m not with you on is the rapture but I’m thinking thats maybe me now not you and so looking into it Pray that Jesus shows you. The path
Thank God there is someone able to put the Bible in 21st century terms. I really like what you said at 16:16. About God putting it in a way that people at that time would understand it.
The gap theory is just a theory because it’s not in the Bible. You cannot harmonize evolution with the Bible. It is a modern concept and it came out of the same era in the late 1700s and early 1800s as Mormonism and a whole bunch more nonsense. Read the book called unformed and unfilled a critique of the gap theory by Westin W Fields, there is no gap.
Seriously? When I open the first book of the Bible it says "In the beginng God created...." Not Jesus Where is the word trinity or triune in the Bible or even "God the Son"?? Have I overlooked it ? What about the book of Mark when Jesus STATES THAT IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED MALE AND FEMALE. ETC??? How can this preacher be so correct on all that he presenttd here, but not know the difference between God and his son Jesus Christ? Go figure! Why do you think the Trinity is considered a mystery? Even by it's most ardent defenders??
God created Adam and Eve as mature adults because it would make no sense to create two babies with no one to take care of them. He would have had to create a third human to take care of them, who would need to be an adult. The real answer is that God is God and He created everything perfect and at the perfect age, including trees, animals and everything else. Thank you David for taking the time to explain all of this to us.
@@DavidGuzikEnduringWord wow I never expected a reply really but how I wish I can share something to you. Very few seen what I've found with regards to the mystery that was revealed only to Paul and not to the 12.
heaven and that’s through Christ. Those that reject Him will not go to Heaven and there’s only one other place. The lake of fire. Anyone worshipping other gods will also be in the lake of fire.
In becoming 'like' God dying was necessary... else there could be no 'greatest of love'. Jesus as the 'word' is the manifestation of God's law, and why it is important to do EVERYTHING He (Jesus) told us to do. ALL is created from the 'lesser' and thus, whatever is done to someone who is 'sick' or in the 'prison' of sin... is to be loved and helped, so much as they will recieve love.
I am really enjoying these videos and looking forward to watching more I am learning a lot. I noticed on the slide it says Isaiah 48:18. I looked up the verse and it is actually Isaiah 45:18.
Good science and good theology will always agree. There was a destruction, by shaking, that most Christians do not know. Jer 4:22-26 KJV "22 For my people [is] foolish, they have not known me; they [are] sottish children, and they have none understanding: they [are] wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. 23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, [it was] without form, and void; and the heavens, and they [had] no light. 24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. 25 I beheld, and, lo, [there was] no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. 26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place [was] a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, [and] by his fierce anger." I think modern science is "changing" to prep the world for the deceiving miracles that the Beast will perform in the sight of men.
Isa 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else. Job 38: 1-7 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Where upon are the foundations there of fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Dan 7:7 KJV After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, readful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was DIVERSE from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. Dan 7:19 KJV Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was DIVERSE from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth [were of] iron, and his nails [of] brass; [which] devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; ... Dan 7:24-25 24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten kings [that] shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be DIVERSE from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 25 And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to CHANGE times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. Dan 7:28 KJV] 28 Hitherto [is] the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance CHANGED in me: but I kept the matter in my heart. The 5 words in BOLD above are all translated from the same Hebrew word, shena, which means “to change.” But, we have to understand the span of time the 4th beast changes over: How Long is the Great Tribulation? Here is the simple version of when it began: It started almost 2000 years ago: Mat 27:52 "And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept (in the dust of the earth) arose, 53 And came out of the graves (dust of the earth) after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many." THAT, WAS THE FULFILLMENT of Dan 12:2. Dan 12:1-2 "1 And at that time (at the time of the end-The subject starts at Dan 11:40) shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was (The Great Tribulation) since there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time (at the time of the end) thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt." The time, and times, and a half of time of the Great Tribulation, as the time is defined in Dan 12:7, is not some future 3 1/2 year event for us to fear, it has been since the Crucifixion. And, it ends at the 7th Trump. Mar 13:24-37 KJV "24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. 28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: 29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, [even] at the doors. 30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. 31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 32 But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34 [For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch." Daniel 12:11 "And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days." The daily sacrifice was taken away in 70 AD. What significant event happened in 73 AD? The Siege of Masada. The Roman Pontiff has "changed" a lot since the first Roman Pontiff, Linus. God's Word is Truth.
Are you going to be at your church in the summer? When can I visit and find you preaching? Since I will be driving there from nearly a thousand miles, I want to time it when you are not on vacation.
Isaiah 46:9-10 > ... I am God, and there is none like me, "Declaring the End from the Beginning", and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all MY pleasure: Isaiah 55:11 > So shall MY word be that goeth forth out of MY mouth: it shall not return unto ME void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Numbers 23:19 > God is not a man, that HE should lie; Question : Did God lie to us when HE said that HE "declared the End from the Beginning OR did HE tell the truth when HE revealed the End in Genesis 1:2 ? Prologue : Genesis 1:1 > In "the Beginning" God created the Heaven and the Earth. Epilogue: Genesis 1:2 > [End] And the Earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Logically, HE could reveal the End in Genesis 1:2 only after revealing the Beginning in Genesis 1:1. Therefore the very first prophetic declaration of Genesis 1:2 about "the end of the First Earth" ["at the end of time"] are not questionable. There could not have been any Earth before this the First Earth because HE called this the First Earth till the end of time - Revelation 21:1 > ... and the "First Earth" were passed away; Same end - 2 Peter 3:10 > But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall "pass away with a great noise", and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Note - the big bang (great noise) is the end, not in the begining. Similarly the Word of God states that Adam was the First Man - so there could not have been any Man before Adam was Created by God. There can be no Man before the First Man; there could be no Earth before the First Earth 1 Corinthians 15:45-47 > And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the Earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from Heaven. Conclusion: Therefore, to accept the pre-Adamic race theory etc would require believers to then accept that not only did Lucifer (Satan, Devil ) outwit the omniscient God by rebelling in Heaven leading to the first destruction of creation, he again outwit God by deceiving Eve in the garden etc. But, that's not the truth since a loving God created Man knowing that he would fall and therefore provided for the atonement before the foundation of the world. Why did God before the foundation of the world, provide through His Son for the atonement of sins of Man? Revelation 13:8 > And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. "Slain from the foundation of the world" is truth because even though it was manifested on Earth only at the pre-ordained time it was initiated before HE laid the foundation of the world as revealed in Isaiah 55:11 > So shall MY word be that goeth forth out of MY mouth: it shall not return unto ME void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Because HE foreknew that Man would fall for the lies of Satan. Therefore, HE also foreknew that Satan (created as Lucifer) would deceive Man, after Lucifer's fall. Should we be misled by any theologians or storytellers to believe that God did not foreknow the above despite all theologians accepting that God is omniscient? Or are we being asked to accept theories that question God's omniscience, foreknowledge etc. We know pseudoscience and those that control them through requirements of peer review for publications do not allow anything that might expose their falsehoods to be disseminated by any that question their narrative - likewise questioning interpretations of many theologians, preachers & teachers is not acceptable to them and they try to make sure that dissent is not tolerated on their forums - they need a captive audience who will blindly accept what they preach; though they themselves have dissented from other traditional teachings to arrive at their own personal theology - they want to deny others that same privilege. Pseudoscience teachers use the narrative of billions and millions of years for the history of the creation of the Universe, Earth, Man . Those that pursue the Gap theory talk about 100 thousand years, 50 thousand years etc. after the pre-existing earth was destroyed, before Man (Adam) was created. There is a reason why an omniscient God's created beings are given a free will - who of their own violation, based on the Word of God [verbal or written or in Person], can choose to believe in HIM or not believe, and to continue in that faith or walk away from faith. HE did not create preprogrammed robots unlike man (under Luciferian influence ) who now seek to merge man with machine and thus create robotic slaves who will only do the will of their master (Lucifer). It's sad that wise and well versed Bible believing people have been influenced by theories emanating from some theological institutions which have formulated the " gap theory" to try and corrupt the inerrant Word of God), give credence to fables & myths of some pre-Adamic civilization etc which would only be possible if the omniscient God was caught unawares (not omniscient ?) by fallen celestial beings. God created only Man in HIS image, not the angels or gods ; neither did HE provide for the redemption of fallen angels or the created gods. HE provided "before the foundation of the world" for the atonement of sins of Man to be created in His image. The reason for God doing so before the foundation of the world was because HE knew that Man would fall in unbelief in HIS Word and believe in Lucifer (nee Satan). It's not that HE was caught off-guard by Lucifer - for we know God is omniscient (all knowing, from beginning to end). Therefore it is very surprising that those who preach Gap-theory , pre-Adamic civilization knowingly forget that God knows the hearts of all HIS created beings Man, angels & gods and none can hide their intentions from HIM. Just ponder why the following verse is part of Scripture? Is it because He knew that itching ears would believe false hoods that are mixed with some truths from Scripture? John 3:12 > If I {Jesus} have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? Finally, when Satan tempts Jesus by promising Him all the kingdoms of the world wasn't he referring to all the existing powers (kingdoms, governments etc) that are under his control. Surely he was not referring to pre-Adamic kingdoms and cities destroyed before Creation werk as some theologians preach - how can Satan offer kingdoms that do not exist. Satan was offering existing kingdoms on the flat earth. Why do good preachers teach gap theory? Revelation 21:1 refers to our present Earth as the First Earth, so there was no Earth before that. Should we not ask ourselves why there is no mention of "diamonds" in Revelation 21: 19-20 > And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. It's because Lucifer's crowning apparel item was "diamonds" and therefore in New Jerusalem that comes down from Heaven there is no Lucifer and so no diamonds. Ezekiel 28:12-14 > ... Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and "the diamond", the beryl, the onyx, and the7 jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the of the stones of fire. The false advertisement narrative "Diamonds are forever"; the Word of God tells you the truth - diamonds are not forever. They are Satan's allurements and enticements - the lust of the eyes - how Eve was deceived through eating of the tree of knowledge of good & evil [she ate of the fruit of the tree of evil while denying the authority of the fruit {truth} of the tree of good (Word of God). As regards the Jeremiah verses it's a prophecy about the event at the end [not an event of the past] of the 7000 years - just before the First Earth passes away and all of mankind resurrected to life or judgement. All the cities is referencing everything that man created will be destroyed by God. All mankind at the moment of resurrection to life or judgement will proclaim the truth of God - Philippians 2:10-11 > That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

This is just some food for thought. The teaching is inspiring. I saw that Jacob used this first word of Gensis ברושית to describe his first born son. I think this is the subject of the book ~ the whole book. We immediately see the trinity. The Holy Spirit is brooding over the icy waters like an eagle over its nest..The Father gives the command, "Let there be Light." And Light springs forth. I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit... i think Light was conceived and brought forth on the first day. Is it possible that following that first act of creation, all things were created by him...and are of him. I have considered אלוהי מאת. I believe, but I don't yet understand.

Very well said concerning the creation account so far. And also in addressing different theories as well. I too find the gap theory a bit strange and feel it is read into the text. I know that people also try to use Ezekiel 28:11-19 to attempt to support this theory. Yet when we read Revelations 21:1 John writes he saw a new heaven and new earth; for the first heaven and first earth passed away. And the text seems pretty plain in that regard.
The first verse is similar to what happens later but it's not that because nothing indicates that. Actually, because there is a progression in time imposed by the succession of the seven days, it is more likely that 1:1 is not the same exact event that is being related in the rest of the passage but something that happened earlier. Also note that the verb created in Gen 1:1 is past perfect meaning the action is finished.
@vacaloca5575 I’m not sure I understand your question. It’s not just a written statement or subject heading on paper. It’s a statement from God Himself, It’s ALL His creative acts, which God encompassed ALL His acts of creation in the one single statement. God created, all the Heaven(s) and Earth. Then, after the statement, describes more detail.
@@richardlamer3910 If you say the creative event in 1:1 is expounded in the rest of Gen 1, then you get at least 3 contradictions: (1) the rest of Gen 1 does not talk about the material creation of the heavens and the earth; so, if the rest of the narrative is a repeat of 1:1, then this verse is not about the material creation of the planet, as some believe, (2) if the narrative just repeats the first verse, you leave 1:1 without the possibility of having a unique semantic content that is actually different than that of the rest, since 1:1 has its own very deep interpretation; no time to get into it here but it is extensive, and (3) the plants that grow on the third day, are not said to have been created or made there, nor are their seeds mentioned anywhere, and so they must have been created in 1:1 because that is the only place were creation occurred before the third day; so, this shows that 1:1 has a unique semantic content that is not repeated in the rest of the narrative, but instead the plants growing on day 3 is dependent on 1:1 being the origin of those plants, making 1:1 semantically unique. QED There is more but these three contradictions totally proves the point.
@vacaloca5575 You seem to want 1:1 to be a different event where I see no need, reason or purpose or in the 66 books, support it. I also do not see any contradictions. God does not need to describe the (Heavens ,angels (or fallen angels) or His Kingdom in Heaven (at the onset of His story) in great lengths and detail). But, God does on the outset DECLARE, God is the creator of the two different places and that was the beginning was the in having created them. Earth was not created by itself , by some chance, cosmic accident or cause. After 1:1, God, amplifies the days and order. God does command the earth to grow, and for plants/fruit to have seeds on day 3.
I have read Hugh Ross, and found him to be one who interpret scripture by science, rather than interpreting science by scripture. I find Hugh Ross to be a theistic evolutionist, which is not consistent with the character of God and creation of God. I could be wrong, but I think you, Ross fears man’s opinion more than God’s opinion. I believe what God said is more important, and true than what man thinks.
Thank you for your ministry. I have one question. Why has no one that I know of ever answered the following? Can you help me with this? According to the KJV, ASV, DBY and 1885 RV v. 2 begins with “and.” Every other verse ‘2-31’ begins with “and” except v. 27 which begins with “so.” From what I understand “and” is a conjunction, connective or conjoining word (i.e. continuation). There were no chapters from “In the beginning” until the 1400’s. Verse numbers were added in the 1500’s. If I say, “At the beginning of my trip I got into my car “and” inserted the key “and” started the engine “and” drove to the supermarket “so” it was 12:30 pm when I arrived. I suppose that an ardent evolutionist may say, “He got into his car and sat for 1M years before the inserted the key.” Seems a little strange to me!! Where is the gap? Until the 1500’s AD there was no place to insert a gap “theory” in the Word of God. No chapters + verses. I think it’s just wishful thinking. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Pastor Lance replies - Many of the ancients (including Jews) divided the "heavens" into 3 realms: the atmosphere, the realm of the stars, the spiritual realm.
It's a fairly complex idea, which you can read more about on the enduringword.com website for both Genesis 1 and John 1, as well as for every other book and chapter of the Bible. Here are some helpful points to foster your understanding. In the beginning was the Word: 'Word' translates the ancient Greek word Logos. The idea of the logos had deep and rich roots in both Jewish and Greek thinking. i. Jewish rabbis often referred to God (especially in His more personal aspects) in terms of His word. They spoke of God Himself as “the word of God.” For example, ancient Hebrew editions of the Old Testament change Exodus 19:17 (Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God) to “Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet the word of God.” In the mind of the ancient Jews, the phrase “the word of God” could be used to refer to God Himself. ii. The Greek philosophers saw the logos as the power that puts sense into the world, making the world orderly instead of chaotic. The logos was the power that set the world in perfect order and kept it going in perfect order. They saw the logos as the “Ultimate Reason” that controlled all things. (Dods, Morris, Barclay, Bruce, and others) iii. Therefore in this opening John said to both Jews and Greeks: “For centuries you’ve been talking, thinking, and writing about the Word (the logos). Now I will tell you who He is.” John met both Jews and Greeks where they were at, and explained Jesus in terms they already understood. iv. “John was using a term which, with various shades of meaning, was in common use everywhere. He could reckon on all men catching his essential meaning.” (Morris) v. “The word being thus already in use and aiding thoughtful men in their efforts to conceive God’s connection with the world, John takes it and uses us to denote the Revealer of the incomprehensible and invisible God.” (Dods) John 1:1 - And the Word was with God, and the Word was God: With this brilliant statement, John 1:1 sets forth one of the most basic foundations of our faith - the Trinity. We can follow John’s logic: · There is a Being known as the Word. · This Being is God, because He is eternal (In the beginning). · This Being is God, because He is plainly called God (the Word was God). · At the same time, this Being does not encompass all that God is. God the Father is a distinct Person from the Word (the Word was with God). i. So, the Father and the Son (the Son is known here as the Word) are equally God, yet distinct in their Person. The Father is not the Son, and the Son is not the Father. Yet they are equally God, with God the Holy Spirit making one God in three Persons. ii. The Word was with God: “This preposition implies intercourse and therefore separate personality. As Chrysostom says: ‘Not in God but with God, as person with person, eternally.’” (Dods) iii. And the Word was God: “This is the true form of the sentence; not ‘God was the Word.’ This is absolutely required by the usage of the Greek language.” (Alford) iv. “Luther says ‘the Word was God’ is against Arius: ‘the Word was with God’ against Sabellius.” (Dods) v. And the Word was God: “Everything that can be said about God the Father can be said about God the Son. In Jesus dwells all the wisdom, glory, power, love, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth of the Father. In Him, God the Father is known.” (Boice)
Though God transcends the Creation, He is about relationship. Even the Doctrine of the Trinity agrees. That relational character is seen even in the Hebrew syntax of verb -> subject ->object. This syntax is seen even in Genesis 1:1. For, the Hebrew puts 'created' prior to 'God': 'created God the heaven and the Earth'. It simply puts 'In the beginning' at the start. So, today, many can imagine how Yoda might say it: "Created God the heaven and the Earth in the beginning He did, mmmm!" It does not put 'God' as the first part, nor does it put 'God' prior to the verb (as English puts it). Rather, it puts the verb ('created') prior to the subject ('God'). This allows us to *anticipate* the who, and, from there, the what, and, from there, the relationship between the whats: The masculine, or general cosmos, and the feminine, or special, Earth. From there, we can see this theme through the whole account: 2. The Earth, as its own general subject, implying that which we all intuit is most valuable about the Earth unto itself in all the cosmos: its abiding maximal abundance of open liquid water (Genesis 1:2). 3. that water and its special relation to the Sun's light, hence the water cycle (vs. 3-10); 4. The water cycle and its special beneficiary and member, biology (vs. 11-12); 5. biology and its special category, animal biology (plant/animal/mineral = animal) (vs. 20-22, 24-25); 6. Animal biology and its special category, human (vs. 26-28); 7. The general man and the special woman (Genesis 2:21-23). This seven-fold cosmic Divine Design can be seen not only in the account, but also in the actual completed Creation in which we live. So there is nothing of happenstance either in (X) or (Y): (X) there are exactly five things that Genesis 1 reports that God names (vv. 5, 8, 10), (Y) these five things easily seem to be the five basic physical factors of Earth's water cycle: Factors 1 and 2: binary cyclically distributed thermal regulation ( v. 4-5 ); Factor 3: radiologically mediative atmosphere ( vs. 6-8 ); Factors 4 and 5: binary thermal surface distribution system ( vs. 9-10 ) Of the six days of the Creation Workweek, it commonly is assumed that the actual work of Day Two is that which is not given any Divine esteem of 'good'. But, we must ask, What is that work merely a part of? So, the land and sea of the first half of Day Three is not alone that which God calls 'good' at that point of Day Three. For the land and the sea are mere subsystems of the Earth's water cycle, and so is the work of Day Two. It is only upon the establishment of land and sea that the account's possible concern for the water cycle is completed. So that which God calls 'good' on the first half of Day Three seems to be a combination of the five factors mentioned above.
There is no 'gap'. Isaiah 45:7 and Job 2: 10 hold the keys. God 'creates' darkness (and evil), but 'forms and makes' light and peace. The harvest is ALWAYS ready... but the 'workers' are few. The scriptures are NOT being interpreted correctly. As the 'law' is a blessing AND a curse... there is no escape from the 'law' (Romans 2:12-14), thus 'lawlessness' is a delusion. All reap as they sow. ...and this place is an undivided 'mess'. I have a lot of work to do. Hope you do too.
Pastor Lance replies - The universe is a Space-Matter-Time continuum. Its existence involves physicality. The spiritual realm is not physical, but no less real. We might say it is another dimension of reality to accessible by the 5 physical senses. The realm of ideas is also not physical, but no less real. If by 'where' you mean location within the universe, the question is unanswerable because God would have to be in something that did not exists yet.
Hello i would like to ask you why you quote Genesis 1:1 as God created the HeavenS and the earth! In the Bible it mentions a heaven not with an S! Its not until Genesis 2:1 that the S is added in HeavenS! In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1 KJV Thus the HeavenS and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. Genesis 2:1 KJV Could you explain the purpose and meaning behind your thought process? Did you get it right and the KJV get it wrong? Is it discrepancy? Does it matter? I really need to know! My recommended you and asked me to watch your video! He had a different motive on why he asked me to watch your video but this is something i noticed and would like to understand the meaning! Thank you have a blessed day!
It may be the translation he is reading from. I use the ESV translation as a study bible and it says heavens, whereas like you mentioned the KJV mentions heaven. NKJV, NIV, NLT, and CBS say heavens as well.
Question: Who were the Kings that Lucifer was thrown down befor❓ If there were Kings , there must have been Kingdoms... We know they had commerce , because Lucifer was found guilty of misappropriation's... The 5 "I Wills" gives details of his prideful rebellion. This planet was thriving with Angelic Society's and immensely populated. Pryor to the 6 day "Recreation" , human time , hours , days , or years never existed.
Grace and Peace to you. I subscribe to the Genesis Gap Doctrine aka Gap Creationism. Here's how I explain Romans 5:12. It says that sin and death entered the world through Adam, yet by Satan tempting them to sin, we know that Satan had sinned before they succumbed to sin. Yet, sin and death didn't enter the world through him but instead through Adam. It seems that Satan's sin was committed prior to the creation of the world of Adam and therefore would have produced death before the world of Adam (see Ezekiel 28:11-19 and Isaiah 14:12-15 and Luke 10:18). The world affected by the sin of Satan is the world of Genesis 1:1, not the world of Adam.
I think I agree with you sir. Satan was sentenced to death in the "world of Genesis 1:1". But, the angels had no way to comprehend that sentence. Therefore, God made man in our image: Who Are We? Gen 1:1-2 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was (became) without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Isa 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else. Job 38: 1-7 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Where upon are the foundations there of fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Genesis 1:26-27 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished (they were done) and all the host (mass of persons) of them. Genesis 28:12-14 And he (Jacob) dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. John 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. Ecc 1:9-11 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already of old time, which was before us. There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after. Matt 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. (Not, Jesus with us!) Matt 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. Matt 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:” (Notice: The word “people” is not used.) Luke 20:35-36 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. John 14:7-11 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? … words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. John 6:62-63 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Rev 22:9 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. Greek word “ Brethren”: From ἄλφα (as a connective particle) and delphus (the womb). (Connected via the womb?!) Revelation 21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. Eph 1:1 - 5 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Greek word “foundation”: katabolē - a founding (laying down a foundation). Remember Job 38? Col 2:8-9 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." 1Thes 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” 1 Cor 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Heb 2:14-16 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Jud 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Q: What is the meaning of life? A: To learn the value of love, and the consequence of death. 1John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. Heb 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.

@staceycastleburystacey6551 The Hebrew text has 8064 שָׁמַיִם shamayim {shaw-mah'-yim} dual of an unused singular שָׁמֶה shameh {shaw-meh)…..you could use fish, also as singular or plural (rather than, fishes). If your tank had 1 fish, or many fish, I would understand. If the expanse from Earth outward is called Heaven, we understand there are various levels of Heaven(s); within the atmosphere, space, beyond. 2 COR 12:2, mentions 3, at least.
Dark matter is the 'ALL' - of 'creation'. It is light that had not yet been made or called (redeemed). All of physics is hidden in scripture. Where 2 or more are gathered, mass (sorry no catholic pun intended) increase, and thus 'energy'. I have an equation I use to explain the 'spirit' of God... 0 x 0 = God
How do we KNOW that God is from the everlasting? And is God dark matter? I submit that God is ETERNAL, meaning that God had no beginning and has no end. Perhaps we can say this of dark matter. Perhaps we can say that God IS dark matter.
Adam was certainty not 1st man. Scripture means what it says & says what it means. So when Jesus said from the beginning of the creation God made them male & female’ also.. ‘he which made them at the beginning made them male & female’.. Gen1:1 Mk10:6 Matt19:4 Mk13:19 Heb1:10 This act which Jesus referred was: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male & female created he them & God blessed them’, & God said to them, “Be fruitful, & multiply, & Replenish the EARTH, & subdue it: & have dominion over the fish of the sea, & over the fowl of the air, & over every living thing that moves upon the EARTH & God said, Behold, I have given you EVERY. ( Yes here it says every read all inclusive ) herb yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, & EVERY tree, ( Yes here it says every read all inclusive) In the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food.” Gen1:27-29 But when God made Adam & placed him in GARDEN God was very specific ; And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good & evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. & the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. & out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, & every fowl of the air; & brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: & whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. Gen2:16-19 Adam was specifically told v2:17 not eat of Tree knowledge of good & evil. Gen1 & Gen2 are separate accounts. Time betwixt these 2events remains unspecified.. A GREAT error comes when one equates Gen1&Gen2 for they are very different events Jesus was clear, For He did not say from time of Garden He made Adam & Eve. But rather Jesus said: from the beginning of the creation God made them male & female’ also.. ‘he which made them at the "beginning" made them male & female Not Adam & Eve, not from dust, not from the time of garden. Jesus meant what was said & said what he meant, Adam, Eve,& garden were not in the creation... scripture means what is said and says what it means Man in Gen1 was made From nothing Ex-Nehlio... Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Yet Adam in Gen2 was formed from dust of ground & Eve was formed from Adam's rib... thus Adam & Eve of Gen2 are not made Ex-nehlio, from nothing, as were the man & woman in the beginning. Man & Woman of Gen1 were given dominion over all earth that was watered by a mist neither did Gen1 have dietary restriction as given Adam & Eve in a garden watered by 4 rivers. Gen1 & Gen2 are completely different events, scripture does not err. Jesus drew a line into the sands of time at Luke 16:16 The law & the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, & every man presseth into it. There were 4kYrs of sin prior to John. "Behold the Lamb slain from foundation of this world." When was this present sinful world founded? but in the day of ADAM'S sin. For then Adam&Eve were clothed in skin of slain lamb & a redeemer promised. there remain 3k years from Jesus death.. John 2:19 Jesus answered & said unto them, Destroy this temple, & in three days I will raise it up. The final event is specified. Rev21:22-23 & I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty & the Lamb are the temple of it. & the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, & the Lamb is the light thereof. Time between Gen1&Gen2 is Unspecified but finite. To equate Gen1&Gen2 as same events leads to great confusion There are many many facts to prove earth age is in excess of 6000Y BP, wiki article earth age completly refutes young earth psudoscience... and wiki cites just the most blatant proofs, there are others
Please tell me where in the Bible I can find the The term "God the Son?" God also said that Jesus was crucified before the foundation of the world! Was he crucified twice"? Peter stated that Jesus was preordained and in the FORWKNOWLEDGE of God. If Jesus prayed to God the father, WHY? According to all you who post and give great presentations here on youtube for some unbeknown reason to me JUST HAVE TO MAKE JESUS God the Father. WHY??? Is there a problem with God being the father and our Lord and savior Jesus Christ being the only begotten son of God who brought the truth/word of God to we fallen humans??? Jesus was the second/Last Adam not God. If Jesus is God the son and equal to the father [so stated the Nicene creeds - all three equal yet one] Why did Jesus even brother praying to God HIS FATHER??? You just used one of the old worn trinitarian proof text. But I did enjoy and found very enlighting your presentation on the creation. In the book of Mark Jesus stated : " In he beginning God created male and female etc" He never said "we". God alone created the earth - said so himself.
Pastor Guzik - i am teaching Genesis 1 - 3 to international college students and you have given me great new insights that I will use even this week. Thank you for your love of God's word.
I appreciate the fact that you always address the other theories about scripture and then give your interpretation challenging them with gentleness and respect. :) It’s an admirable trait of yours. :)
I appreciate you saying so - thank you for your kind words and support.
I’m so excited and so honored to walk through the Bible verse by verse with you! My mind is expanding because of the comprehensive way that you teach 🙌 not to be pumped full of knowledge, but so I can know my Savior more.
We are glad that you are being blessed! Thanks for writing.
@@DavidGuzikEnduringWord I am a brother in Christ, & fascinated by your video, thank you for the work. I agree with you. i also rehect deep time death of the dinosaurs & FINALLY have the scientific proof needed to PROVE, dinos dies out roughly 12000 yr Ago... All of it mainstream, Accepted, & peer reviewed & oft referred to... please tell me youd be interested in seeing this my brother :)
Thank you for being faithful to deliver and clarify the truth of the Bible. I understand the Bible more and more because of your studies. I use the studies if Enduring Bible, to recommend and encourage my Sisters to dig deeper.
Joanne, that's great! Thanks for writing in. Blessings.
David, enjoying your messages so much!! you help me go deeper into the Word. My
husband believes God created the heavens and earth but without any living things at that point- just the stars-the land and then Satan was cast down to earth and it became null and void… then the rest of the creation came after that.
We will find out in heaven…
I appreciate your teaching style and how you bring it all back to Jesus. Thank you and blessings.
Interesting view. Thank you for your kind words and support!
You are a very humble servant and a stellar teacher
I really thank God for your ministry David and believe God has given you a true calling .
I know it’s not popular but I do believe in 6 days creation I take the bible literally
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts here David and really pray for you to have the courage and truth.
Just finished your sermons through Isiah to 26 (the first part ) really found an understanding of the word .
Only thing I’m not with you on is the rapture but I’m thinking thats maybe me now not you and so looking into it
Pray that Jesus shows you. The path
Thank God there is someone able to put the Bible in 21st century terms. I really like what you said at 16:16. About God putting it in a way that people at that time would understand it.
Thank you, I'm happy you appreciate the series so far.
Blessings in His name.
Thank you ,David for this wonderful clear teaching, God bless you
Thank you for this teaching! It's a true blessing to me!🙏
Thank you, so enjoyable study and it makes me be amazed by His Grace, Love, and Power! I feel awaken!
Thank you...
Great insight! Thank you for sharing what our everlasting God has shared with you 🙏🏾
Really???!
Thank you so much for this series! God bless you!
I recommend do a deeper investigation into the Gap Theory, also called the Pre-Adamite theory.
The gap theory is just a theory because it’s not in the Bible. You cannot harmonize evolution with the Bible. It is a modern concept and it came out of the same era in the late 1700s and early 1800s as Mormonism and a whole bunch more nonsense. Read the book called unformed and unfilled a critique of the gap theory by Westin W Fields, there is no gap.
Love how you shared about the Trinity excellent!
Seriously? When I open the first book of the Bible it says "In the beginng God created...." Not Jesus Where is the word trinity or triune in the Bible or even "God the Son"?? Have I overlooked it ? What about the book of Mark when Jesus STATES THAT IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED MALE AND FEMALE. ETC??? How can this preacher be so correct on all that he presenttd here, but not know the difference between God and his son Jesus Christ? Go figure! Why do you think the Trinity is considered a mystery? Even by it's most ardent defenders??
God created Adam and Eve as mature adults because it would make no sense to create two babies with no one to take care of them. He would have had to create a third human to take care of them, who would need to be an adult. The real answer is that God is God and He created everything perfect and at the perfect age, including trees, animals and everything else. Thank you David for taking the time to explain all of this to us.
Hello David you are doing an excellent job. God bless you!🙏💓
Thank you kindly for your kind words and support. Blessings to you in Jesus' name!
@@DavidGuzikEnduringWord wow I never expected a reply really but how I wish I can share something to you. Very few seen what I've found with regards to the mystery that was revealed only to Paul and not to the 12.
Hi, Christ never condemned any religion. But only taught forgiveness and love. May God bless you
Jesus also taught repentance from sin and the need for salvation. Jesus came to seek and to save those who were lost.
Christ said the only way to the father is through him not religion.
heaven and that’s through Christ. Those that reject Him will not go to Heaven and there’s only one other place. The lake of fire. Anyone worshipping other gods will also be in the lake of fire.
Wonderful teaching sir
Thx David, great information, luvya!
I am an ex-muslim and love your explanation. Thanks for explaining Jesus the second Godhead too.
What a wonderful message to receive, thank you for this comment! May God bless you and keep you and cause His face to shine upon you.
Right on great series
In becoming 'like' God dying was necessary... else there could be no 'greatest of love'. Jesus as the 'word' is the manifestation of God's law, and why it is important to do EVERYTHING He (Jesus) told us to do. ALL is created from the 'lesser' and thus, whatever is done to someone who is 'sick' or in the 'prison' of sin... is to be loved and helped, so much as they will recieve love.
Thanks!
Welcome
I am really enjoying these videos and looking forward to watching more I am learning a lot. I noticed on the slide it says Isaiah 48:18. I looked up the verse and it is actually Isaiah 45:18.
Good science and good theology will always agree.
There was a destruction, by shaking, that most Christians do not know.
Jer 4:22-26 KJV "22 For my people [is] foolish, they have not known me; they [are] sottish children, and they have none understanding: they [are] wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. 23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, [it was] without form, and void; and the heavens, and they [had] no light. 24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. 25 I beheld, and, lo, [there was] no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. 26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place [was] a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, [and] by his fierce anger."
I think modern science is "changing" to prep the world for the deceiving miracles that the Beast will perform in the sight of men.
Isa 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else.
Job 38: 1-7 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Where upon are the foundations there of fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Dan 7:7 KJV After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, readful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was DIVERSE from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
Dan 7:19 KJV Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was DIVERSE from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth [were of] iron, and his nails [of] brass; [which] devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; ...
Dan 7:24-25 24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten kings [that] shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be DIVERSE from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 25 And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to CHANGE times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Dan 7:28 KJV] 28 Hitherto [is] the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance CHANGED in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
The 5 words in BOLD above are all translated from the same Hebrew word, shena, which means “to change.”
But, we have to understand the span of time the 4th beast changes over:
How Long is the Great Tribulation?
Here is the simple version of when it began:
It started almost 2000 years ago: Mat 27:52 "And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept (in the dust of the earth) arose, 53 And came out of the graves (dust of the earth) after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many." THAT, WAS THE FULFILLMENT of Dan 12:2.
Dan 12:1-2 "1 And at that time (at the time of the end-The subject starts at Dan 11:40) shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was (The Great Tribulation) since there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time (at the time of the end) thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt."
The time, and times, and a half of time of the Great Tribulation, as the time is defined in Dan 12:7, is not some future 3 1/2 year event for us to fear, it has been since the Crucifixion. And, it ends at the 7th Trump.
Mar 13:24-37 KJV "24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. 28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: 29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, [even] at the doors. 30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. 31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 32 But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34 [For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."
Daniel 12:11 "And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days." The daily sacrifice was taken away in 70 AD. What significant event happened in 73 AD? The Siege of Masada. The Roman Pontiff has "changed" a lot since the first Roman Pontiff, Linus.

Are you going to be at your church in the summer? When can I visit and find you preaching? Since I will be driving there from nearly a thousand miles, I want to time it when you are not on vacation.
An entertaining and easy-to-understand read about the creation and evolution debate is the book Axis of Beginning.
Isaiah 46:9-10 > ... I am God, and there is none like me, "Declaring the End from the Beginning", and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all MY pleasure:
Isaiah 55:11 > So shall MY word be that goeth forth out of MY mouth: it shall not return unto ME void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Numbers 23:19 > God is not a man, that HE should lie;
Question :
Did God lie to us when HE said that HE "declared the End from the Beginning OR did HE tell the truth when HE revealed the End in Genesis 1:2 ?
Prologue :
Genesis 1:1 > In "the Beginning" God created the Heaven and the Earth.
Epilogue:
Genesis 1:2 > [End] And the Earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Logically, HE could reveal the End in Genesis 1:2 only after revealing the Beginning in Genesis 1:1.
Therefore the very first prophetic declaration of Genesis 1:2 about "the end of the First Earth" ["at the end of time"] are not questionable.
There could not have been any Earth before this the First Earth because HE called this the First Earth till the end of time - Revelation 21:1 > ... and the "First Earth" were passed away;
Same end - 2 Peter 3:10 > But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall "pass away with a great noise", and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Note - the big bang (great noise) is the end, not in the begining.
Similarly the Word of God states that Adam was the First Man - so there could not have been any Man before Adam was Created by God. There can be no Man before the First Man; there could be no Earth before the First Earth
1 Corinthians 15:45-47 > And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the Earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from Heaven.
Conclusion:
Therefore, to accept the pre-Adamic race theory etc would require believers to then accept that not only did Lucifer (Satan, Devil ) outwit the omniscient God by rebelling in Heaven leading to the first destruction of creation, he again outwit God by deceiving Eve in the garden etc. But, that's not the truth since a loving God created Man knowing that he would fall and therefore provided for the atonement before the foundation of the world.
Why did God before the foundation of the world, provide through His Son for the atonement of sins of Man? Revelation 13:8 > And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
"Slain from the foundation of the world" is truth because even though it was manifested on Earth only at the pre-ordained time it was initiated before HE laid the foundation of the world as revealed in Isaiah 55:11 > So shall MY word be that goeth forth out of MY mouth: it shall not return unto ME void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Because HE foreknew that Man would fall for the lies of Satan. Therefore, HE also foreknew that Satan (created as Lucifer) would deceive Man, after Lucifer's fall.
Should we be misled by any theologians or storytellers to believe that God did not foreknow the above despite all theologians accepting that God is omniscient? Or are we being asked to accept theories that question God's omniscience, foreknowledge etc. We know pseudoscience and those that control them through requirements of peer review for publications do not allow anything that might expose their falsehoods to be disseminated by any that question their narrative - likewise questioning interpretations of many theologians, preachers & teachers is not acceptable to them and they try to make sure that dissent is not tolerated on their forums - they need a captive audience who will blindly accept what they preach; though they themselves have dissented from other traditional teachings to arrive at their own personal theology - they want to deny others that same privilege. Pseudoscience teachers use the narrative of billions and millions of years for the history of the creation of the Universe, Earth, Man . Those that pursue the Gap theory talk about 100 thousand years, 50 thousand years etc. after the pre-existing earth was destroyed, before Man (Adam) was created.
There is a reason why an omniscient God's created beings are given a free will - who of their own violation, based on the Word of God [verbal or written or in Person], can choose to believe in HIM or not believe, and to continue in that faith or walk away from faith.
HE did not create preprogrammed robots unlike man (under Luciferian influence ) who now seek to merge man with machine and thus create robotic slaves who will only do the will of their master (Lucifer).
It's sad that wise and well versed Bible believing people have been influenced by theories emanating from some theological institutions which have formulated the " gap theory" to try and corrupt the inerrant Word of God), give credence to fables & myths of some pre-Adamic civilization etc which would only be possible if the omniscient God was caught unawares (not omniscient ?) by fallen celestial beings.
God created only Man in HIS image, not the angels or gods ; neither did HE provide for the redemption of fallen angels or the created gods. HE provided "before the foundation of the world" for the atonement of sins of Man to be created in His image. The reason for God doing so before the foundation of the world was because HE knew that Man would fall in unbelief in HIS Word and believe in Lucifer (nee Satan).
It's not that HE was caught off-guard by Lucifer - for we know God is omniscient (all knowing, from beginning to end). Therefore it is very surprising that those who preach Gap-theory , pre-Adamic civilization knowingly forget that God knows the hearts of all HIS created beings Man, angels & gods and none can hide their intentions from HIM.
Just ponder why the following verse is part of Scripture? Is it because He knew that itching ears would believe false hoods that are mixed with some truths from Scripture?
John 3:12 > If I {Jesus} have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
Finally, when Satan tempts Jesus by promising Him all the kingdoms of the world wasn't he referring to all the existing powers (kingdoms, governments etc) that are under his control. Surely he was not referring to pre-Adamic kingdoms and cities destroyed before Creation werk as some theologians preach - how can Satan offer kingdoms that do not exist. Satan was offering existing kingdoms on the flat earth.
Why do good preachers teach gap theory?
Revelation 21:1 refers to our present Earth as the First Earth, so there was no Earth before that.
Should we not ask ourselves why there is no mention of "diamonds" in Revelation 21: 19-20 > And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
It's because Lucifer's crowning apparel item was "diamonds" and therefore in New Jerusalem that comes down from Heaven there is no Lucifer and so no diamonds.
Ezekiel 28:12-14 > ... Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and "the diamond", the beryl, the onyx, and the7 jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the of the stones of fire.
The false advertisement narrative "Diamonds are forever"; the Word of God tells you the truth - diamonds are not forever. They are Satan's allurements and enticements - the lust of the eyes - how Eve was deceived through eating of the tree of knowledge of good & evil [she ate of the fruit of the tree of evil while denying the authority of the fruit {truth} of the tree of good (Word of God).
As regards the Jeremiah verses it's a prophecy about the event at the end [not an event of the past] of the 7000 years - just before the First Earth passes away and all of mankind resurrected to life or judgement. All the cities is referencing everything that man created will be destroyed by God. All mankind at the moment of resurrection to life or judgement will proclaim the truth of God - Philippians 2:10-11 > That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Seeking truth in the Word of God
This is just some food for thought. The teaching is inspiring. I saw that Jacob used this first word of Gensis ברושית to describe his first born son. I think this is the subject of the book ~ the whole book. We immediately see the trinity. The Holy Spirit is brooding over the icy waters like an eagle over its nest..The Father gives the command, "Let there be Light." And Light springs forth. I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit... i think Light was conceived and brought forth on the first day. Is it possible that following that first act of creation, all things were created by him...and are of him. I have considered אלוהי מאת. I believe, but I don't yet understand.

Seeking truth in the Word of God
Very well said concerning the creation account so far. And also in addressing different theories as well. I too find the gap theory a bit strange and feel it is read into the text. I know that people also try to use Ezekiel 28:11-19 to attempt to support this theory. Yet when we read Revelations 21:1 John writes he saw a new heaven and new earth; for the first heaven and first earth passed away. And the text seems pretty plain in that regard.
Many, (skeptics) attack the Bible. As the serpent to cast doubt, dissuade…
The first verse is similar to what happens later but it's not that because nothing indicates that. Actually, because there is a progression in time imposed by the succession of the seven days, it is more likely that 1:1 is not the same exact event that is being related in the rest of the passage but something that happened earlier. Also note that the verb created in Gen 1:1 is past perfect meaning the action is finished.
1:1 is a heading and a statement.
The process, 6 days of creation was the process. GBY.
@@richardlamer3910 So, for you 1:1 has no validity as a creative act?
@vacaloca5575
I’m not sure I understand your question. It’s not just a written statement or subject heading on paper.
It’s a statement from God Himself, It’s ALL His creative acts, which God encompassed ALL His acts of creation in the one single statement.
God created, all the Heaven(s) and Earth. Then, after the statement, describes more detail.
@@richardlamer3910 If you say the creative event in 1:1 is expounded in the rest of Gen 1, then you get at least 3 contradictions: (1) the rest of Gen 1 does not talk about the material creation of the heavens and the earth; so, if the rest of the narrative is a repeat of 1:1, then this verse is not about the material creation of the planet, as some believe, (2) if the narrative just repeats the first verse, you leave 1:1 without the possibility of having a unique semantic content that is actually different than that of the rest, since 1:1 has its own very deep interpretation; no time to get into it here but it is extensive, and (3) the plants that grow on the third day, are not said to have been created or made there, nor are their seeds mentioned anywhere, and so they must have been created in 1:1 because that is the only place were creation occurred before the third day; so, this shows that 1:1 has a unique semantic content that is not repeated in the rest of the narrative, but instead the plants growing on day 3 is dependent on 1:1 being the origin of those plants, making 1:1 semantically unique. QED
There is more but these three contradictions totally proves the point.
@vacaloca5575
You seem to want 1:1 to be a different event where I see no need, reason or purpose or in the 66 books, support it. I also do not see any contradictions. God does not need to describe the (Heavens ,angels (or fallen angels) or His Kingdom in Heaven (at the onset of His story) in great lengths and detail). But, God does on the outset DECLARE, God is the creator of the two different places and that was the beginning was the in having created them. Earth was not created by itself , by some chance, cosmic accident or cause. After 1:1, God, amplifies the days and order. God does command the earth to grow, and for plants/fruit to have seeds on day 3.
I have read Hugh Ross, and found him to be one who interpret scripture by science, rather than interpreting science by scripture. I find Hugh Ross to be a theistic evolutionist, which is not consistent with the character of God and creation of God. I could be wrong, but I think you, Ross fears man’s opinion more than God’s opinion. I believe what God said is more important, and true than what man thinks.
Thank you for your ministry. I have one question. Why has no one that I know of ever answered the following? Can you help me with this?
According to the KJV, ASV, DBY and 1885 RV v. 2 begins with “and.” Every other verse ‘2-31’ begins with “and” except v. 27 which begins with “so.” From what I understand “and” is a conjunction, connective or conjoining word (i.e. continuation). There were no chapters from “In the beginning” until the 1400’s. Verse numbers were added in the 1500’s. If I say, “At the beginning of my trip I got into my car “and” inserted the key “and” started the engine “and” drove to the supermarket “so” it was 12:30 pm when I arrived. I suppose that an ardent evolutionist may say, “He got into his car and sat for 1M years before the inserted the key.” Seems a little strange to me!! Where is the gap? Until the 1500’s AD there was no place to insert a gap “theory” in the Word of God. No chapters + verses. I think it’s just wishful thinking.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Correction. It is Isaiah 45:18 not 48:18. …. I am a Berean.

I believe God can create a 10,000 year old canyon in the blink of an eye.

I don’t understand what it means that Jesus is the Word of God. How does that work?
It's a fairly complex idea, which you can read more about on the enduringword.com website for both Genesis 1 and John 1, as well as for every other book and chapter of the Bible.
Here are some helpful points to foster your understanding.
In the beginning was the Word: 'Word' translates the ancient Greek word Logos. The idea of the logos had deep and rich roots in both Jewish and Greek thinking.
i. Jewish rabbis often referred to God (especially in His more personal aspects) in terms of His word. They spoke of God Himself as “the word of God.” For example, ancient Hebrew editions of the Old Testament change Exodus 19:17 (Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God) to “Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet the word of God.” In the mind of the ancient Jews, the phrase “the word of God” could be used to refer to God Himself.
ii. The Greek philosophers saw the logos as the power that puts sense into the world, making the world orderly instead of chaotic. The logos was the power that set the world in perfect order and kept it going in perfect order. They saw the logos as the “Ultimate Reason” that controlled all things. (Dods, Morris, Barclay, Bruce, and others)
iii. Therefore in this opening John said to both Jews and Greeks: “For centuries you’ve been talking, thinking, and writing about the Word (the logos). Now I will tell you who He is.” John met both Jews and Greeks where they were at, and explained Jesus in terms they already understood.
iv. “John was using a term which, with various shades of meaning, was in common use everywhere. He could reckon on all men catching his essential meaning.” (Morris)
v. “The word being thus already in use and aiding thoughtful men in their efforts to conceive God’s connection with the world, John takes it and uses us to denote the Revealer of the incomprehensible and invisible God.” (Dods)
John 1:1 -
And the Word was with God, and the Word was God: With this brilliant statement, John 1:1 sets forth one of the most basic foundations of our faith - the Trinity. We can follow John’s logic:
· There is a Being known as the Word.
· This Being is God, because He is eternal (In the beginning).
· This Being is God, because He is plainly called God (the Word was God).
· At the same time, this Being does not encompass all that God is. God the Father is a distinct Person from the Word (the Word was with God).
i. So, the Father and the Son (the Son is known here as the Word) are equally God, yet distinct in their Person. The Father is not the Son, and the Son is not the Father. Yet they are equally God, with God the Holy Spirit making one God in three Persons.
ii. The Word was with God: “This preposition implies intercourse and therefore separate personality. As Chrysostom says: ‘Not in God but with God, as person with person, eternally.’” (Dods)
iii. And the Word was God: “This is the true form of the sentence; not ‘God was the Word.’ This is absolutely required by the usage of the Greek language.” (Alford)
iv. “Luther says ‘the Word was God’ is against Arius: ‘the Word was with God’ against Sabellius.” (Dods)
v. And the Word was God: “Everything that can be said about God the Father can be said about God the Son. In Jesus dwells all the wisdom, glory, power, love, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth of the Father. In Him, God the Father is known.” (Boice)
Though God transcends the Creation, He is about relationship. Even the Doctrine of the Trinity agrees. That relational character is seen even in the Hebrew syntax of verb -> subject ->object. This syntax is seen even in Genesis 1:1. For, the Hebrew puts 'created' prior to 'God':
'created God the heaven and the Earth'.
It simply puts 'In the beginning' at the start. So, today, many can imagine how Yoda might say it:
"Created God the heaven and the Earth in the beginning He did, mmmm!"
It does not put 'God' as the first part, nor does it put 'God' prior to the verb (as English puts it). Rather, it puts the verb ('created') prior to the subject ('God'). This allows us to *anticipate* the who, and, from there, the what, and, from there, the relationship between the whats:
The masculine, or general cosmos, and the feminine, or special, Earth.
From there, we can see this theme through the whole account:
2. The Earth, as its own general subject, implying that which we all intuit is most valuable about the Earth unto itself in all the cosmos: its abiding maximal abundance of open liquid water (Genesis 1:2).
3. that water and its special relation to the Sun's light, hence the water cycle (vs. 3-10);
4. The water cycle and its special beneficiary and member, biology (vs. 11-12);
5. biology and its special category, animal biology (plant/animal/mineral = animal) (vs. 20-22, 24-25);
6. Animal biology and its special category, human (vs. 26-28);
7. The general man and the special woman (Genesis 2:21-23).
This seven-fold cosmic Divine Design can be seen not only in the account, but also in the actual completed Creation in which we live. So there is nothing of happenstance either in (X) or (Y):
(X) there are exactly five things that Genesis 1 reports that God names (vv. 5, 8, 10),
(Y) these five things easily seem to be the five basic physical factors of Earth's water cycle:
Factors 1 and 2: binary cyclically distributed thermal regulation ( v. 4-5 );
Factor 3: radiologically mediative atmosphere ( vs. 6-8 );
Factors 4 and 5: binary thermal surface distribution system ( vs. 9-10 )
Of the six days of the Creation Workweek, it commonly is assumed that the actual work of Day Two is that which is not given any Divine esteem of 'good'. But, we must ask, What is that work merely a part of? So, the land and sea of the first half of Day Three is not alone that which God calls 'good' at that point of Day Three. For the land and the sea are mere subsystems of the Earth's water cycle, and so is the work of Day Two. It is only upon the establishment of land and sea that the account's possible concern for the water cycle is completed.
So that which God calls 'good' on the first half of Day Three seems to be a combination of the five factors mentioned above.
Noah and the ark
There is no 'gap'.
Isaiah 45:7 and Job 2: 10 hold the keys. God 'creates' darkness (and evil), but 'forms and makes' light and peace.
The harvest is ALWAYS ready... but the 'workers' are few.
The scriptures are NOT being interpreted correctly. As the 'law' is a blessing AND a curse... there is no escape from the 'law' (Romans 2:12-14), thus 'lawlessness' is a delusion. All reap as they sow.
...and this place is an undivided 'mess'.
I have a lot of work to do. Hope you do too.
Where was God when he created the universe?.
Pastor Lance replies - The universe is a Space-Matter-Time continuum. Its existence involves physicality. The spiritual realm is not physical, but no less real. We might say it is another dimension of reality to accessible by the 5 physical senses. The realm of ideas is also not physical, but no less real.
If by 'where' you mean location within the universe, the question is unanswerable because God would have to be in something that did not exists yet.
God SENT His Son to die for us..!!
God didn't die..! Please let's leave it as simple as it is..!
Hello i would like to ask you why you quote Genesis 1:1 as God created the HeavenS and the earth! In the Bible it mentions a heaven not with an S! Its not until Genesis 2:1 that the S is added in HeavenS!
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 1:1 KJV
Thus the HeavenS and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Genesis 2:1 KJV
Could you explain the purpose and meaning behind your thought process? Did you get it right and the KJV get it wrong? Is it discrepancy? Does it matter? I really need to know! My recommended you and asked me to watch your video! He had a different motive on why he asked me to watch your video but this is something i noticed and would like to understand the meaning! Thank you have a blessed day!
It may be the translation he is reading from. I use the ESV translation as a study bible and it says heavens, whereas like you mentioned the KJV mentions heaven. NKJV, NIV, NLT, and CBS say heavens as well.

Grace and Peace to you. I subscribe to the Genesis Gap Doctrine aka Gap Creationism. Here's how I explain Romans 5:12. It says that sin and death entered the world through Adam, yet by Satan tempting them to sin, we know that Satan had sinned before they succumbed to sin.
Yet, sin and death didn't enter the world through him but instead through Adam. It seems that Satan's sin was committed prior to the creation of the world of Adam and therefore would have produced death before the world of Adam (see Ezekiel 28:11-19 and Isaiah 14:12-15 and Luke 10:18). The world affected by the sin of Satan is the world of Genesis 1:1, not the world of Adam.
I think I agree with you sir.
Satan was sentenced to death in the "world of Genesis 1:1". But, the angels had no way to comprehend that sentence. Therefore, God made man in our image:
Who Are We?
Gen 1:1-2 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was (became) without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Isa 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else.
Job 38: 1-7 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Where upon are the foundations there of fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Genesis 1:26-27 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished (they were done) and all the host (mass of persons) of them.
Genesis 28:12-14 And he (Jacob) dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. John 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
Ecc 1:9-11 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already of old time, which was before us. There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
Matt 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. (Not, Jesus with us!)
Matt 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
Matt 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:” (Notice: The word “people” is not used.)
Luke 20:35-36 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
John 14:7-11 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? … words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
John 6:62-63 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Rev 22:9 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. Greek word “ Brethren”: From ἄλφα (as a connective particle) and delphus (the womb). (Connected via the womb?!)
Revelation 21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
Eph 1:1 - 5 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Greek word “foundation”: katabolē - a founding (laying down a foundation). Remember Job 38?
Col 2:8-9 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."
1Thes 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”
1 Cor 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Heb 2:14-16 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Jud 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Q: What is the meaning of life? A: To learn the value of love, and the consequence of death. 1John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. Heb 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire. Pete Jennen 218-671-5326 Revision: 01-17-2023

My kjv reads Heaven singular
Heavens plural
Interesting note!
@@DavidGuzikEnduringWord interesting bible teaching
Of course he missed it right off the bat. It's heaven and earth, not heavens and earth. It's mythology, it's explaining how the human mind functions.
@staceycastleburystacey6551
The Hebrew text has
8064 שָׁמַיִם shamayim {shaw-mah'-yim} dual of an unused singular שָׁמֶה shameh {shaw-meh)…..you could use fish, also as singular or plural (rather than, fishes). If your tank had 1 fish, or many fish, I would understand. If the expanse from Earth outward is called Heaven, we understand there are various levels of Heaven(s); within the atmosphere, space, beyond.
2 COR 12:2, mentions 3, at least.
Dark matter is the 'ALL' - of 'creation'. It is light that had not yet been made or called (redeemed). All of physics is hidden in scripture. Where 2 or more are gathered, mass (sorry no catholic pun intended) increase, and thus 'energy'. I have an equation I use to explain the 'spirit' of God...
0 x 0 = God
How do we KNOW that God is from the everlasting? And is God dark matter? I submit that God is ETERNAL, meaning that God had no beginning and has no end. Perhaps we can say this of dark matter. Perhaps we can say that God IS dark matter.
Heaven not Heavens
Adam was certainty not 1st man. Scripture means what it says & says what it means. So when Jesus said from the beginning of the creation God made them male & female’ also.. ‘he which made them at the beginning made them male & female’.. Gen1:1 Mk10:6 Matt19:4 Mk13:19 Heb1:10
This act which Jesus referred was:
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male & female created he them & God blessed them’, & God said to them, “Be fruitful, & multiply, & Replenish the EARTH, & subdue it: & have dominion over the fish of the sea, & over the fowl of the air, & over every living thing that moves upon the EARTH & God said, Behold, I have given you
EVERY. ( Yes here it says every read all inclusive )
herb yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, &
EVERY tree, ( Yes here it says every read all inclusive)
In the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food.” Gen1:27-29
But when God made Adam & placed him in GARDEN God was very specific ;
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good & evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. & the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. & out of the ground
the Lord God formed every beast of the field, & every fowl of the air; & brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: & whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. Gen2:16-19
Adam was specifically told v2:17 not eat of Tree knowledge of good & evil.
Gen1 & Gen2 are separate accounts. Time betwixt these 2events remains unspecified.. A GREAT error comes when one equates Gen1&Gen2 for they are very different events
Jesus was clear, For He did not say from time of Garden He made Adam & Eve. But rather Jesus said:
from the beginning of the creation God made them male & female’ also.. ‘he which made them at the "beginning" made them male & female
Not Adam & Eve, not from dust, not from the time of garden. Jesus meant what was said & said what he meant, Adam, Eve,& garden were not in the creation... scripture means what is said and says what it means
Man in Gen1 was made From nothing Ex-Nehlio... Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Yet Adam in Gen2 was formed from dust of ground & Eve was formed from Adam's rib... thus Adam & Eve of Gen2 are not made Ex-nehlio, from nothing, as were the man & woman in the beginning. Man & Woman of Gen1 were given dominion over all earth that was watered by a mist neither did Gen1 have dietary restriction as given Adam & Eve in a garden watered by 4 rivers. Gen1 & Gen2 are completely different events, scripture does not err.
Jesus drew a line into the sands of time at Luke 16:16 The law & the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, & every man presseth into it.
There were 4kYrs of sin prior to John. "Behold the Lamb slain from foundation of this world." When was this present sinful world founded? but in the day of ADAM'S sin. For then Adam&Eve were clothed in skin of slain lamb & a redeemer promised. there remain 3k years from Jesus death.. John 2:19 Jesus answered & said unto them, Destroy this temple, & in three days I will raise it up. The final event is specified. Rev21:22-23 & I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty & the Lamb are the temple of it. & the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, & the Lamb is the light thereof.
Time between Gen1&Gen2 is Unspecified but finite. To equate Gen1&Gen2 as same events leads to great confusion There are many many facts to prove earth age is in excess of 6000Y BP, wiki article earth age completly refutes young earth psudoscience... and wiki cites just the most blatant proofs, there are others
???
Please tell me where in the Bible I can find the The term "God the Son?" God also said that Jesus was crucified before the foundation of the world! Was he crucified twice"? Peter stated that Jesus was preordained and in the FORWKNOWLEDGE of God. If Jesus prayed to God the father, WHY? According to all you who post and give great presentations here on youtube for some unbeknown reason to me JUST HAVE TO MAKE JESUS God the Father. WHY??? Is there a problem with God being the father and our Lord and savior Jesus Christ being the only begotten son of God who brought the truth/word of God to we fallen humans??? Jesus was the second/Last Adam not God. If Jesus is God the son and equal to the father [so stated the Nicene creeds - all three equal yet one] Why did Jesus even brother praying to God HIS FATHER??? You just used one of the old worn trinitarian proof text. But I did enjoy and found very enlighting your presentation on the creation. In the book of Mark Jesus stated : " In he beginning God created male and female etc" He never said "we". God alone created the earth - said so himself.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
You too detailed
It seems DAVID GUZIK, that science is a dark room and research and discovery is a black cat in a dark room .
"By definition" means you know nothing about it.
