I believe that the fall of Lucifer instigated the big bang that happened some 15 billion years ago....
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. -
Genesis 1:1
Space and mass - Nothing else
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 1:2
Space and mass - Nothing else
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. -
Genesis 1:3
As m = E/c2 so the mass dissociates into energy and light flowing out as plasma from a point of origins forming into what elements the Father willed it to.
*** I believe that 15 billion years transpired between
Genesis 1:3-4***
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness
. - Genesis 1:4
Keep in mind that the first day has not occurred yet. By dividing the light from the darkness the earth is put in orbit around the sun, dividing the light from the darkness, making the first day.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. -
Genesis 1:5
Now we are ready for the first day and the seven day creation story... 15 billion years from the time that God said, "Let there be light!" Now for
Genesis 1:6-8
--------------------------------------------
From there we have three earth ages...
1. The first earth age
2. The middle ages
3.The seven church ages
The first earth age...
The seven church ages...
--------------------------------------------
As seven is a number of perfection, so God is going to allow the Earth to exist 6,000 years, with about a 400 year extension, this I take as days of grace. This will be followed by a millennial of peace when Lucifer will be vanished for a thousand years from the planet Earth. So the final amount of earth years, about 7,000 years, maybe a little more taking in to account there may be days of grace.
--------------------------------------------
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and
the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. -
2 Peter 3:10
For, behold, I create
new heavens and a
new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. - Isaiah 65:17
As m (mass) = E/c2 (plasma) so the elements will disassociate back into the energy and light from whence they were created and return back to God. God then will use that energy to recreate a new heaven and earth...
But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. -
1 Peter 4:13
The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: -
1 Peter 5:1
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. -
Romans 8:18
So God has not revealed what he is going to do with that enormous amount of energy and light that will return to him through the disassociation of the universe. But I do believe that it will be glorious, and that we saints of God who have weathered the trials of this Earth will be glad on our arrival.
