GENESIS 1: THE EARTH WAS IN CHAOS

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Genesis 1 

a) This is about the beginning of the universe and the state of planet earth before God transformed it.

2. The Earth Was In Chaos

a) Genesis makes a statement about the state of planet earth prior to the six days in which God transformed it. "The earth was formless and empty, and darkness was over the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters." (Genesis 1:2, 2 Peter 3:3-5).

b) This gives us no indication as to how the earth came to be in this state, or how long it remained in this state, or even whereabouts it was in relation to the rest of the universe. The fact is simply stated that before God terraformed it, our planet was a dark, barren, disordered, watery world. Any more than this is for scientists to discover as far as the origins of our planet is concerned. 

The End ...
