The Creation Stage

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work.

Bible Study Article Covers : Genesis 2:1,2

I invite you to join me on a journey that will take you beyond the scope of your natural understanding. We will begin by traveling through the beginning part of the Sacred Record that some are calling: The Creation Stage. This beginning stage of the Sacred Record is composed of the first 11 chapters, starting with the Book of Genesis.

Now I hold the viewpoint that these first 11 chapters of the Sacred Record are very crucial. I believe that they have great importance that, in turn - will be very beneficial to our overall biblical studies. I believe that if we, as believers, could accept these first 11 chapters as absolute truth. This "Truth" will help us to understand these first 11 chapters better - an understanding that will reveal the overall foundation for the following and remaining 1,178 chapters that make up the glorious passages of God's Word.

Now from within what is known as The Creation Stage - we'll come across biblical accounts that are dealing with what I like to call:

Adam the Highlight, The Prophet Enoch, and Noah the Keeper of the Ark.

Also from within these first 11 chapters, we'll visit some important events that will take us through the recording of God's Creation, The Fall of Humanity, The Great Flood of Judgment, and man's so-called gateway to heaven: The Tower of Babel.

When we finally exit from the Creation Stage, we should find ourselves somewhere around the year 2000 B.C. With that being stated, I hope and pray that you'll enjoy our journey as we travel together throughout God's Word. And while we're here, I might as well point out; overall, the Bible has what you could call twelve different broad stages from within its entirety.

Now I'm hoping that eventually, we'll be able to journey through all twelve stages. We start with the first six: Creation Stage - Patriarchal Stage - Exodus Stage - Conquest Stage - Judges Stage, and The United Kingdom Stage. Then we will finish up with: The Chaotic Kingdom Stage - Captivity Stage - Return Stage - Gospel Stage - Early Church Stage, and the Epistle Stage.

The More Complex, the Better

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 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." -- Genesis 1:1-2

Now I'll like to start by asking the question: "How can something so powerful and perfectly balanced... happen? The question I'm posing deals with a subject that's been highly debated amongst believers and non-believers - even to this very day. 

But there's one thing that I can honestly say about the Bible. While everybody else is steadily looking for answers, the Bible continues to provide them for all those willing to hear, understand, and have an open mind. For you see, for some reason, non-believers can't get over the fact that God created such a complex universe. 

But personally, for me, it seems that the creation of the universe isn't the problem. It would seem that the simple response that the so-called intellects get in return bothers them the most. They seem to think that something so complex, like the universe, deserves an answer that should be just as complicated.

Perhaps, this is why intellects say to themselves and others: "How can the answer to this complex question be so easily answered? Did God really create it? Oh really! Have they thought about Baum's Steady State Theory, in which he states: "That the universe had always existed?" What about Leakey's Missing Link Theory? or everybody's favorite: The General Theory of Evolution?

I want you to know this, what the so-called intellects fail to realize when it comes to God, deals with the idea: The more complex the question seems to be, the more that simple answer they get in return - is seen as absolute truth.

How Can Something So Remarkable...

When we look at the universe, we come to some kind of conclusion that reveals that there are probably over one billion other galaxies located from within its unlimited borders. Then one would begin to consider the possibility that there are probably more stars in these galaxies than grains of sand found on all the beaches on the earth.

And yet, this vast area of space is so pleasing to the eye and so powerful to the imagination that it can't be measured or fully understood by a limited mind. And on top of that, it all seems to function from within remarkable order and efficiency. For this reason, I often wonder: How can one bring themselves to say: "That it all just happen?"

The Bible reveals to us that everything was without form, emptied and void at this point in time. All you could see was darkness upon the face of the deep. Amazingly, God would put such detail and beauty from within these great areas of space and land. I could not have guessed that God could make something so diverse in life and image.

This vast emptiness of space and land would be beautifully crafted and made with perfect balance, symmetry, and accuracy - could easily blow someone's limited mind. Can you imagine it? Can you look past your natural understanding of things and appreciate the work of God? 

Understand that God created something that holds perfect order and tremendous power from within a universe that's filled with great mysteries. I'm hoping that throughout our journey, you'll begin to see just how awesome God truly is!

In the next Bible Study Online Article:

We will finish exploring the first stage from within God's wonderful creation by taking a quick look at the creation of light. Then we'll enter into the second stage from within this creation account and take a closer look at the dividing of the waters. This act of God means that this was no longer one large system source. God divides it into separate systems that would be used for different uses. We will also take a look at the different firmaments. May God's blessings be upon you, and thank you for your support.
