“ARE THERE
TWO CREATIONS OR THREE?”“ARE THERE
TWO CREATIONS OR THREE?”
Dear
Reader, our previous teachings on the pizza-dream Gap Theory
can
be clicked on at the end of this teaching.
Now, the
Peanut
Gallery Gap Theorist says there are three creations in the
Bible …
1. The first
creation found
in Genesis 1:1
Then there
is a time gap of millions/billions of years
2. The second
creation found
in Genesis 1:2
3. The third
creation found
at the end of Revelation
But first,
some background information:
1. God
creates the first heaven … not heavens (Genesis
1:1). This
is the total universe.
2. This is
the ‘canvas’ for the three heavens, that will be superimposed
upon it.
3. God then
creates the first earth right in the centre of the universe.
4. Of
course, the earth’s sun in the dead centre of creation … with the
circling
earth … as it should be … Christ at the centre (Malachi 4:2).
5. Of
course, God, being the creator, would have ‘existed’ outside of
his first
creation … wow! Think about that for a while Dear Reader.
The Facts:
Now there
are only two creations mentioned in the Bible … the first
in Genesis and the second in Revelation with …
“In the
beginning, God created the heaven and the earth…” (Genesis 1:1)
and
“And I saw
a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the
first earth (those of
Genesis 1:1) were passed away …” (Revelation 21:1)
Dear
Reader, how is this for Bible Numerics … and how appropriate … the first
creation in the first chapter of the Bible, and the second
creation is in the second last chapter of the Bible.
Why is a
second universe needed?
Being
tainted with sin, God’s simply melts the first creation (2 Peter 3:10,12), and
starts all over again … a mere snap of the fingers for Christ.
Using
Godhead numerics, we demonstrate that Christ creates both the 1st
and the 2nd creations …
1. As Christ
is God, and
there is only one God, it is appropriate he creates the 1st
creation (1 John 5:7-8)
2. As Christ
is the 2nd
person of the Godhead, he also creates the 2nd
creation.
Now this
second creation is mentioned in Isaiah as follows …
“For,
behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the
former
shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.” (Isaiah 65:17)
Now the
use
of the word “former” by itself, with no article,
denotes
things or people that have been previous, earlier, past or prior … and
in this
case … could include more than two creations.
However
when used with the article “the”, as in “the former”, this is
called an absolute
… and means only two events or people are involved … being
opposed to
the latter.
For
example, the phrase ‘the former’, denotes the first or first
mentioned of TWO … such as … “Bill and Bob are brothers
with the
former being taller.”
Furthermore,
with the Bible being its own contextual Dictionary, we find the phrase
of “the
former” deals with only two things … as follows …
1.
Luke
speaking of the two books he has written (Luke and Acts) … “The
former treatise (the gospel of Luke) have I made, O
Theophilus …” (Acts
1:1)
2.
Paul
speaking of two conversations (behaviours) of men, being the
former and
the latter with “… the former conversation the old man…”
(Ephesians
4:22) … that is … there is
the ‘old’
man’s behaviours and the ‘new’ man’s behaviours.
In summary:
The
wording
of “THE former” (Isaiah 65:17) means there are only
two
creations mentioned in the Bible.
So for Gap
Theorists to say there are three creations, merely demonstrates
that the
only gap that exists, resides in a body part above their
shoulders … that
is … their skull.
The
following verse is taken from
“The
Australian
Idiot’s Easy Peasy Bible Version” … it reads
…
“Gap
Theorists are devoid of kangaroos in the top paddock!” (Romans
1:22)
meaning
“although
someone seems normal, they are in fact, very stupid”
