What’s Eternity? Is It Different From The Beginning

When the foundation of the earth was laid, the morning stars rejoiced and praised God, as seen in Job 38, according to Genesis 1:2, God created the heavens and earth in the beginning, the heaven mentioned here is the material heaven, not the spiritual Heaven where God dwells.

The morning stars are a class of Angels created by God when time began, i.e in the beginning, these divine spirits are called Angels(messengers of El Ohim).

Psalms revealed the Angels were created by the command of God’s Word in the beginning but not from eternity.

Because the Angels were created before the creation of the earth they witnessed the setting of the foundation of the earth, and they made songs in worship.

If they observed the creation of the earth, it’s clear to know they were created prior to the time the universe was made because God permitted them to witness his marvelous powers, and bear witness that God created all things.

Angels occupies a higher position in Him more than man, they are God’s creation in Heaven, while man occupies a lesser position in Him, for he was created after the angels to occupy the material sphere known as the world.

Adam(man) was created thousand and thousands of years after the fall of Lucifer and the morning stars of God, according to the Bible, Lucifer was already parading on the earth destroying things before Eden was set up and Adam was created placed in it away from the sight of Lucifer, yet he still discovered the earthly paradise Eden.

The Angels live in a Heavenly home knows as Jerusalem situated in the lower part of Heaven, they were created to minister unto God and run His errands, in the vision of Daniel, the number of angels standing around the Throne of God is innumerable, no human knowledge could count it.

The Kingdom of God, Heaven was created from eternity, the angels didn’t witness the creation of Heaven, because they were made in the beginning of all things but not from the eternity of Principality and Power.

In Colossians 1:15 the Bible tells of One Being born from eternity, He’s the visible image of God, the Christ, only Him came from eternity, every other being, spirit, material and immaterial world started from the beginning in Genesis 1:1, before the beginning Christ has been in time known as eternity.
Psalms 24:1-2 reveals, “Built it on oceans foundation, laid it out on river girders.”

God didn’t create the ocean to occupy any space in the earth, the ocean is the earth’s foundation, what is the ocean doing inside here? See 2 Peter 2:4.

Those fallen angels are very violent and vagabond in power, they destroyed 1/3 of everything on earth, they destroyed the land, air, lakes and rivers, killing every living thing on their part, this is the reason God put them in chains till the day of judgment.

This very last paragraph is a long mystery, it will take another time to explain.
Much as we know according to the Bible, before Lucifer was cast down to the earth with the fallen angels there were people living on earth, people created by God, this happened thousands and thousands of years before Adam was created.

Who were those people? Was there life on earth before Adam? This and many more we shall answer later.

You may not understand what I meant in “they destroyed the earth” let me explain briefly, Genesis 1:2 says the earth was(became) formless and void.

For some of us who have a keen understanding of grammar, it’s clear, for something to “become” means that thing has been in another state before, i.e the earth was in a good state, without any void in Genesis 1:1 when God made it, in verse 2, it was vandalized, and the ocean from underneath its foundation flowed in, see Jeremiah 4:22-23, he used the word “become” which means a changed state, the earth changed from a perfect form and became formless.

Not changed actually but was destroyed by the fallen morning stars.
The time frame between Genesis chapter 1:2 to Genesis 1:2 spans into millions of years, at the completion of the year, God returned to restore the earth again in verse 3, He began with the Word “LET” which is a restoration word, let is a word used to bring back what has been before what’s.

In Genesis 1:1, God made the earth in a perfect form, in verse 2, the fallen angels vandalized it, in verse 3, He returned and restored the earth, pushed the waters into a deep space known as the ocean, at the completion of the restoration, he created a mini new beautiful earth, called it Eden, and placed man in it.

The Eden was a little picture of the earth destroyed by the fallen angels in Genesis 1:2, but before the restoration, the violent fallen angels were chained and imprisoned beneath the waters pending the judgment day as revealed in 2 Peter 2:4.

As the earth remained void, God placed His Spirit over it, the Holy Spirit hovering over the waters was a mark of the restoration to come, it was a mark of beauty upon ugliness, it was a sign of love about to be renewed, to give the earth a new life again.

It was a picture of perfection hovering upon imperfection, it was a sort of hope and promise that something good will later come out the void, in verse 3 the earth was restored, but in Genesis 3:6 it was destroyed again, God promised another restoration permanently, this time, He restored the world with the life of His son spiritually but not physically, and He also promised to roll away this damaged earth and make a new one after Judgement.

The ocean signifies a spiritual separation, in the new earth there won’t exist any separation anymore between God and man, hence the reason oceans won’t be found in the new earth just like it was in Eden and in the first earth in Genesis 1:1.

Ocean is anything that stands on our way to have intimacy with the Father as required.
Ocean demarcates nation from nation, in the new earth there will be just one nation, a nation of righteousness, not a nation of races and tribes.

There are many oceans in the world, many oceans in our lives which hinder us, but in the new earth as promised by Christ there won’t be any oceans anymore, for it’s written, “And I will be their Father.”

I don’t know what your ocean is, how big or small, just as He put away the ocean and recreated the earth, may the Lord part every ocean distracting you from reaching the Father.
