Matthew 3:16-17 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up
straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto
him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting
upon him: (17) And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is
my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Acts 2:2-4 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a
rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were
sitting. (3) And there appeared unto them cloven tongues
like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. (4) And they
were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other
tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except
a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God.
Genesis
1:1-3 In the beginning God created the heaven and the
earth. (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. (3) And God said, Let there be
light: and there was light.
THE SPIRIT OF GOD started to move and BEGAN FORMING THE EARTH AGAIN. after it was devastated
• The SPIRIT and the WORD went to work.
• AND GOD RENOVATED the earth in those six days.
• The earth was not created in those six days but RENOVATED.
The war that broke out between heaven and satan wreaked havoc on the earth.
• It was so terrible there was no light.
• The earth moved.
• Mountains moved.
• The fruitful place was made a wilderness.
• God never made the world without form, SATAN DID after God created it.
And just like the Spirit of God moved on the water when Jesus was
baptized and BEGAN His ministry, and just like the Spirit of God moved
on the people in Acts 2 and BEGAN the NEW BIRTH, being born of the
water and of the Spirit, so they could ENTER THE KINGDOM, God’s
Spirit moved on the waters in Genesis and the word went forth to RENEW
THE WORLD and make a KINGDOM FOR MANKIND.
The pattern in Genesis is
Day 1: LIGHT
Day 2: WATERS SEPARATED (all salt water)
Day 3: LAND SEPARATED FROM WATER (fresh water begins), VEGETATION GROWS
Day 4: SUN, MOON AND STARS
Day 5: BIRDS AND SEA LIFE.
Day 6: ANIMALS AND MAN BOTH MADE FROM DUST OF EARTH.
The exact same pattern is found in Psalm 104.
DAY ONE:
Psalms 104:1-2 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art
very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. (2)
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out
the heavens like a curtain:
DAY TWO:
Psalms 104:5-6 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it
should not be removed for ever. (6) Thou coveredst it with
the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
DAY THREE:
Psalms 104:7-18 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy
thunder they hasted away. (8) They go up by the mountains;
they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for
them. (9) Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass
over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. (10) He
sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
(11) They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses
quench their thirst. (12) By them shall the fowls of the
heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
(13) He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is
satisfied with the fruit of thy works. (14) He causeth the
grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he
may bring forth food out of the earth; (15) And wine that
maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and
bread which strengtheneth man's heart. (16) The trees of
the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath
planted; (17) Where the birds make their nests: as for the
stork, the fir trees are her house. (18) The high hills are
a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
DAY FOUR:
Psalms 104:19-24 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun
knoweth his going down. (20) Thou makest darkness, and it
is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
(21) The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat
from God. (22) The sun ariseth, they gather themselves
together, and lay them down in their dens. (23) Man goeth
forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
(24) O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made
them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
DAY FIVE:
Psalms 104:25-26 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are
things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
(26) There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast
made to play therein.
DAY SIX:
Psalms 104:29-30 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou
takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
(30) Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou
renewest the face of the earth.
It sums it all up by saying THOU RENEWEST THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
• Why would it say GOD RENEWED the earth I this
parallels Genesis’ six days those six days are CREATION?
It is because God created in Genesis 1:1, and the fall of the devil
caused a war that made the earth without form, and God had to RENEW or
RENOVATE the earth!
Just like everything that happened to MANKIND!
Satan got hold of mankind like Pharoah got hold of Israel and Babylon
got hold of Jerusalem, and caused a war and ruined mankind and man was
cast out of the garden of Eden and fell into sin.
• He threw us into DARKNESS.
And God’s Spirit gets a hold of us again and starts moving on our
hearts, and HIS WORD speaks LIGHT to our souls as HE RENOVATES and
RENEWS our lives.
Just like God renewed the earth DAY BY DAY,
2 Corinthians 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our
outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
Just like God had to form the earth to make it suitable again,
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to
be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn
among many brethren.
Colossians 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Knowledge renews us, but not natural knowledge.
• SPIRITUAL knowledge.
2 Peter 1:2-4 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the
knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, (3) According as
his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life
and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to
glory and virtue: (4) Whereby are given unto us exceeding
great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the
divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world
through lust.
I don’t believe dinosaurs were on the ark.
• If satan fell before Gen 1:2, and there was no
light and God had to renovate the SUN MOON AND STARS, because there
were already DAYS before Genesis’ 4 th day, and days exist with
sun and earth rotations, THEN NO LIGHT after a destruction on earth
means an ICE AGE.
• If the BIRDS FLED, and there was NO MAN, then
there was LIFE before Genesis 1:2, that was destroyed by the fall of
satan so that God not only had to renew the earth, but create life
again.
• And if you look carefully at the words in
Genesis 1 and what was created as opposed to what was MADE, you see
something important.
CREATE means to have something from nothing.
MAKE is to have something FORMED INTO SOMETHING ELSE.
The first time CREATE is used after verse 1 is here:
Genesis 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living
creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after
their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it
was good.
Then here:
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
EVERYTHING ELSE WAS “MADE”
Some were CREATED and some were MADE.
Genesis 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it:
because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created
and made.
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.
(27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God
created he him; male and female created he them.
He MADE our bodies from earth and CREATED our souls!
God saw Israel in the WILDERNESS where the Hebrew word WITHOUT form was used here:
Deuteronomy 32:10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste
howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as
the apple of his eye.
And like in Genesis when the SPIRIT MOVED, or in the Hebrew RAWKHAF over the waters, we read
Deuteronomy 32:11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth
(RAWKHAF) over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them,
beareth them on her wings:
All this was a pattern of God saving US IN THE NEW TESTAMENT!
