How did God originally create the Earth?
Lucky for us God revealed it to Job!
Moses started out with the following verse below.
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
That’s all Moses had to say about the original creation, the following 6 literal days of Genesis DO NOT teach the creation of the Earth, but of the restoring of the Earth to a second habitable state.
In order to understand one must forget what they have been taught and simply listen to what God teaches about the original creation of the Earth!
First let’s see what God’s definition of Earth is.
Gen 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth
So if God called “DRY LAND” Earth, then in verse 1 of Genesis the Earth was a mass of DRY LAND!
Now let’s see what He taught Job!
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Job 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Job 38:8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
Job 38:9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
Job 38:10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
Job 38:11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
Job 38:12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
Now let’s break up the verses and see the truth about the original creation of the earth!
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Form the verse above we see that it was no random collection of star dust that created the earth but that the Earth the creation of a person, and that person is God.
Job 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Before God even started creating the Earth, God had planned its size.
Job 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
The earth was constructed like a building, and we all know a building is designed to house.
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
All of God’s previous creations, the billions and billions of stars, and the Sons of God (The Angels) shouted for joy at the creation of the Earth.
Job 38:8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
According to God’s definition of Earth, it was created DRY LAND, Then in the verse above we see that God decided to have some of the lower surface of the dry land covered in water, notice the water came from within the Earth.
Job 38:9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
Originally the earth had no clouds; God only made the clouds after the sea was established.
Job 38:10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
Job 38:11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
There is enough water under the crust of the Earth to cover the whole surface of the Earth, God set bounds on how much water should be on the surface of the Earth. God later on flooded the Earth twice! But that is another lesson.
Job 38:12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
God had originally created the Earth to have days, hence the Sun had to have been created before, and like today’s version the Original Earth had four seasons, and in the future restoration of the Earth it will still have four seasons, but there will be NO MORE OCEANS!
Rev 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.
Isa 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Isa 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
So please I leave you with this!
2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
The verse below teaches Lucifer’s flood and is recorded in Genesis 1:2
2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
The verse below teaches the re-creation of the earth in 6 days of Genesis.
2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
