Chapter 5.
THE EARTH BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE AGAIN.
The duration of the period between when the first earth was destroyed by the first flood, till the time we read in Genesis 1:2 is not known to us. This time is also not important to us the people of the re-created earth of God. There are many theories about what happened on the earth between the beginning and when the pre-Adamite earth was destroyed by water.
What the Bible reviles to us is, that there was some kind of human like beings on the earth before it was destroyed by water. We don’t know what they looked like. If they evolved from apes or not, whatever they looked like, they had some sort of intelligence because they had kings, and they build cities, and they were miss led by Lucifer and his angels and we also read that Lucifer, and therefore also his followers, were full of wisdom. They were merchants who were trading with their merchandise and some of them like Lucifer were very rich. Those nations and kings were beholding Lucifer.
There are some people who believe they had souls and or spirits, and that their spirits became the demons which are around us today. I could not find any scriptural proof of that. In Ezekiel 26:20 we read about the people of old time that has descended into the pit. It also refers to the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old. In Revelations we also read about the four angles locked up in the Euphrates River which will be loosen, as well as the locusts coming from the bottomless pit with their leader called Abaddon in Hebrew and Apollyon in Greek.
Whatever the case may be, God destroyed all things on the pre-Adamite world but, some like Lucifer was kept from the destruction as mentioned in Isaiah 14: 20. God must have another plan with them. What could also be possible, is that some people or beings was kept in the grave, or in Death or in Hell as will be described in chapter 8 of this writing.
A very fascinating theory or hypothesis in which God destroyed the earth at the time
is by turning the inside of the earth outside and the outside in. This is like as if you put your hand in a plastic bag and grab the inside of the bag and pull the outside over your hand. This can explain why the sea life and plant life can now be found deep in the earth as oil and gas and even coal deposits on earth. It can also explain some of the geological rock formations and bending in the rocks found in the Grand Canyon today. Even why they find bones of strange animal life and human like sculls in the earth but never, ever have or ever will they find proof of the missing link, because there is no such thing. God destroyed all life from that time by water.

If the people who argue about a new earth or old earth, only sometimes read their Bibles properly and listen to what the Bible say, they might find the answers to their questions and resolve their arguments. The truth is they are both right, but also both wrong. The problem is they don’t see that the devil is preventing them from reading and understanding what is written in the Bible. He deceives them.
There was more than just one flood on earth. We will discuss three of them in this
document. The first was when God destroyed the pre-Adamite earth, the second, when God commanded the water that covered the earth to gather at the place that God made for the water to stay in and the third flood, Noah’s flood. What is also very interesting is that Jesus in Proverbs 8 mentioned the following about something which happened with every flood where God wanted to destroy something or somebody. “When there were no fountains overflowing with water” and in Genesis 6 :11 it says “..on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth. This is proof that there is much more water available to God to use at His command, than science could yet have discovered.
Many scientists try to explain what they find on earth and refer to it as the result of Noah’s flood. There are others who say there were more than just one flood on earth. The best is they are all correct but also greatly deceived by the great deceiver. Some of them try to explain away the fact that the age of the rocks is not that old, and that the methods used by other scientist to determine the age of the rocks are wrong. This immediately led to arguments between the scientists and the devil just loves this.
The people of the other group, claiming the earth is only 6 000 years old, are referred to as young earthers. What the young earthers don’t realise is, that they are making a very big mistake. By saying the earth is not very old but only 6 000 years, they are placing God in that same time frame. They put God’s beginning at taking place only 6 000 years ago, thus making God also only 6 000 years in existence. That is not true. Our God is not just 6 000 years old; He is timeless and matterless from ever to ever. I like to post the following questions to the young earthers:
can they explain when Lucifer was cast down to earth with a third of the
angels with him,
where did the water come from upon which God’s spirit moved in Genesis 1.
and why was the earth empty and void and covered in darkness if God
created everything good accept the firmament and the darkness?
The other people claiming that the earth formed out of some matter that collided over time and that this matter was very hot because of the collisions of the matter. The matter was part of the big bang and over time the earth cooled down and a crust became solid and then everything there after evolved from nothing to form without any outside influence and only randomly. This theory is so far-fetched I don’t even want to expand on this any further. My questions to them are:
22
All of what they say can be true but please explain to us.
where did the matter come from in the first place?
they claim gravity is the force that allowed the matter to gather, where did
gravity come from?
Can they explain where and how did a conscious evolved from that what they
claim because matter should be visible even if it is very small.
What actually happened is what is written in the Bible, but it is hidden by Satan because if the people understand this, they will stop arguing about the age of the world and about creation and about why Satan was cast out of heaven and why he is still today trying to reclaim what he lost through his rebellion against God.
A very important thing about what is written in Genesis 1 is to understand the original scripture. It was written in Hebrew. In Hebrew there are two words that were used in Genesis 1 which we should understand. These are the words Asah and Barah. The word Asah means to restore, reveal, or bring forth. The word Barah means to create, made new or made.
In Genesis 1:2 we read that the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. Why the earth was in this state, as described in chapter one of Genesis is found in 2 Peter 3: 5 to 7. The earth was destroyed by water and the earth was in darkness because God’s presence was not present.
It is not sure why God decided to bring life back to earth at the time, but the reason why is very clearly stated in John 1:3 to 5 “All things were made by him, and without him was anything that was made, in him was life; and life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness (Satan) comprehended it not.”
What we can understand by what is written here, is that God decided He is going to bring back life to this destroyed earth, which was in the state of voidness and darkness because of Satan’s rebellion. God destroyed the previous earth with water. God’s plan was to give the ownership of this recreated earth, brought back to life, to His Son Jesus Christ. We would also see later in this document, that Jesus still needed to do something before he hands the earth back to God. This is to destroy death, as per 1 Corinthians15:26.
The light of the world and all who believes in him. God had a plan how to do this, but
Satan did not know what it was.
As part of God’s plan, the very first thing God did was to bring His presence back to
earth through His Son. This is what God did on the first day of the new creation of earth. He said let there be light. God might as well have said, here I am, the light of the world, me and my beloved Son, the light of this new recreation of earth. God did not create light, He just brought it back and removed the darkness, Satan, from the earth. But Satan did not give up on the earth yet. He will keep on trying to keep the earth as his kingdom. We will follow his trail of deception right through the timeline of 23
God, until Satan’s end. That is why God also not call the darkness good as He did with almost everything of His rebirth plan for earth. There is one more occasion and that is when God made the firmament
This captured in Genesis 1:6-8 “And God said,” let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven.” God did not say “it was good.” Why not? There is a very good reason for it captured in Ephesians 6:12
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” The NIV calls it the heavenly realm. This is where Satan and his rulers of darkness are living. That is why God did not say the Heavenly realms was good, but only it was so.
When asked if I believe in UFO’s, I always answers the question by saying “yes, I have not seen one yet, but I believe that it is the demons and the devils angles flying around in their machines looking who they can mislead or deceive.” Knowing the end is coming, we can expect to hear and see more of such things.
How did God recreate the earth.
A portion in scripture which almost all people, even Christians and preachers and priests, miss read, or read but don’t comprehend or understand is, what is written in Genesis 1:9 to 10. It is so clear, and yet nobody thinks about what they are reading.
“And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gather unto one place, (the same water upon which God’s Spirit moved earlier) and let the dry land (the land that was covered with the waters as mentioned earlier) appear. (It was not made then, but previously by God and Jesus) and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas: and God saw that it was good. “
What is clear from this is, the water was there as well as the dry land, but the latter was just covered with water since God destroyed the pre-Adamite earth. So, the earth and the rocks in and on it were there since God made it in the beginning. So was also everything in the earth that was there, everything that did not breath air.
To confirm that this was created earlier, look at what is written in Proverbs 8:
In Proverbs 8: 27-31 Jesus explains what He and God made in the beginning.
24
”When He prepared the heavens, I was there: when He set a compass upon the
face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: When He strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the water should not pass his commandment; When He appointed the foundations of the earth: Then I was by Him, as one brought up with Him: And I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him; Rejoicing in the habitable part of His earth; And my delights were with the sons of men.” Was this with the sons of Adam and Eve or was this with the sons of men of the previous men on the pre-Adamite world?
In Genesis 1:11 God continues to speak and said:” Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit trees yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day. Note what the word says “Whose seed is upon the earth!!!!!! Wake up people!!!!!! The seed was on the earth already. Since when is there seed of a plant before there was a seed.? The seed is left from a plant that once was, and who was kept on the ground, till the Creator tell it to grow again.
The seeds of plants and the roots of the grasses were kept on the earth when God destroyed the earth in Lucifers days. When God brought life back to the earth by removing the waters from the ground, He made an atmosphere where oxygen and carborne dioxide required for plants to grow could be found. This created an environment in which plant and tree growth were made possible. God did not create the grass and the trees and other plants which were going to grow on the new rived earth, He just told the seeds and roots of the trees which was on the pre-Adamite destroyed earth, to start growing again. And the roots and seeds heard and obeyed their God and Creator.
What was not there yet to enhance the growth of the plants and grass and trees on the newly brought back to life earth, was control over their other requirements like day and night, seasons to create warm and cold and lifetimes: Then God spoke again and said “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven, to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
And God gave the sun to rule over the day, the moon, and the starts to rule over the night. God set then in the firmament to give light upon the earth and God saw that it was good. The sun and moon and stars could also have been there before made by God in the beginning, but because of the previous darkness upon the earth was not visible. When God made the firmament, the sun, moon and starts could now be seen again. The Bible states that God said, let there be lights in the firmament in verse 14 and in verse 16 God made two great lights, no mentioned of when. It could also have been made at the beginning when the earth and the heavens were created. 25
On the firth day God said: “Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 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 blessed them, be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the in the earth.
The following day, God said “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind, and it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the earth after his kind; and God saw that it was good.
And God said let us make man in our own image to rule over everything on this earth. And God made man, male and female and gave them dominion over everything in the sea, in the air and on the ground. Every living thing on earth.
What is very interesting about the recreation of God, is that He did a lot of the recreation work by just using commandments. He said let there be light, let there be an affirmant, let the water gather, let the dry ground be seen, let the death bring forth, let the see bring forth. Almost everything until He created the great whales and later the beasts and man.
A question we should all ask is, why did God create anything in the first place? The answer is short, He created people out of love for the purpose of sharing love. God brought the world into existence and as the capstone of this good work, he created people in his image so that they could share in his overflowing love, grace and goodness through their relationship with the Trinity. God did not need the world or need people because God has no lack. Instead, God is so full of all that is good, that it overflows and spills out of him. His very nature is to share his goodness, grace and love. He created people out of love or the purpose of sharing love. We as people were created to love God and each other.
God gave man five assignments to do on earth; these are the following:
1. Praise: Man should thank God for making him in the first place and should
praise Him for who He is and what God has done to even think of us. Man
should praise God that He so loved the world and man, that He gave his only
begotten Son, Jesus to pay for our sins on the cross and by so doing buying
us eternal life. We really fall short of this big time.
2. Protecting: Adams job in the garden was to protect and take care of
everything God created on earth. This was Satan’s role in the pre-Adamite
garden where he totally failed with. When God made a new garden, he gave
this job to Adam and later to Eve as well to protect God’s Garden from the
works of Satan. This is also one of the two roles God expects every man to do
for his own wife and earthly family.
26
3. Providing: The third role God gave man was to provide also for his earthly
family. In God’s Garden, Adam had the job of cultivating and take care of God’s Garden. These two areas are today the areas used to attack all of God’s men, trying to be a man in the house. This is something I am a good example of.
4. Proclamation: It is said that a man of few words, is a wise man but
sometimes a real man must stand up for his beliefs and for what he sees as important to him. The Bible is full of God using such men. Men who stood up for what God told them to do, or what they believed in. People like Moses, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, were all such men. Adam was supposed to be one, but he failed to do so and for this reason, he failed to be a real man. God gave him authority, but he failed to speak up against Satan and Satan defeated him. Why he preferred to be silent is a very big question.
5. Presentation: In Ephesians 5: 25 -27 husbands are instructed to present their
wife’s spotless and blameless. Husbands are told to love their wives like Jesus loved the church. Men should love their wives as they love themselves. Not having spot or wrinkle. Without blemish ought men to love their wives. We must also make sure that we live our lives the same way, clean and righteous and hole and clean to stand in front of the living God one day.
God also gave women some assignments. These are the following:
1. Submittance and supportive: Wife’s must be submitted unto their own
husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body, therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. This requires that the wife must support her husband in everything, in good times and bad times.
2. Be an educator: to be an educator and be submissive to the husband, does
not mean that wives must keep silent when they see the husband is not doing what he is supposed to do, or if he is going in the wrong direction. They must then bring the husband back to the will of God. This goes towards the bring up and handling of the children as well.
In summary, what was God’s purpose of creating man? Was it to glorify God and to enjoy him forever. The Bible says, “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power, for you created all things, and by your will they exist and were created,
And God saw that everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. All of this happened on the sixth day. Thus, the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the hoist of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he
27
had made. 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.
Something very important to note here is that God sanctified the Sabbath already just after the recreation of the earth. Just after He completed all of his work which he made. People claim very quickly that the Sabbath was only brought in when God gave Moses the ten commandments. They must just read Genesis 2:1 to 3 again. In Exodus 16:4 to 23. In verse 22 it clearly states that on the sixth day they must gathered twice as much bread, and in verse 23 it gives the reason tomorrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord and in verse 25 it says eat that today for today is a sabbath unto the Lord. The sabbath was therefore honoured by Israel before the ten commandments were given in Exodus 20.
28
Intermezzo Chapter.
(Note: Something almost always missed in the Bible is captured in Genesis 2 :4
“These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created.
From this scripture it refers to the original creation of the heavens and the earth
because it refers to generations and not to days like in the revived or remade heaven and the earth.)
In the previous chapters we saw that there was an earth before the one we currently live on, and why God destroyed that earth and everything in and on it. We tried to understand why God decided to bring the destroyed earth back to life and how God did it. God loved the world to be in habited and that is why He made Adam and later Eve to take care of the garden, but Satan was still around, and his strategy was still to keep the earth as his kingdom and his domain. God therefor made Adam from the dust of the earth and blew His spirit into Adam and he became a living sole. When God saw that Adam was lonely, God made Eve from a rib bone from Adam and covered it with flesh to remove Adams loneliness. God planted two trees in the garden of Eden. The tree of good and evil and the tree of life. God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of good and evil because if they do, they will surely die. Satan new that God’s plan with the new earth which God back to life again will include His Son Jesus, and that this plan will also include Adam and that he, Satan, must put an end to it. `
