The Three Earth Ages

In the beginning! When was the beginning? A long, long, long time ago! Eons ago!! Let’s look at Isaiah 45:18, it says, The Lord created the earth not in vain and to be inhabited. But Genesis 1:2 says, and the earth was formless and void just after God created it! God’s word will never contradict itself, so there must be something man did wrong in interpreting and translating God‘s word. Genesis 1:2 really should be translated, and the earth (became) formless and void. The word (was) should be translated (became) as in Genesis 2:7, 4:3, 9:15, 19:26, Exodus 32:1, Deuteronomy 27:9, 2 Samuel 7:24 and on it goes.

Strong’s concordance Hebrew dictionary number 1961 says the word used in Genesis 1:2 is: Be, Become, come to pass, (always Emphatic), the same word used in Genesis 19:26 when Lots wife (became) a pillar of salt. She was not already a pillar of salt until she disobeyed God, and she (became) a pillar of salt, (Strong’s Hebrew dictionary word number 1961). It is the same word that Moses wrote in Genesis 1:2 when he was describing the creation of the Earth after it (became) formless and void. So let’s read Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 with the proper translation of the word (Strong’s Hebrew dictionary number 1961). Genesis 1:1, God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:2, and the earth became formless and void. If God created the earth with form and to be inhabited like other places in God’s word states, Isaiah 45:18, Jeremiah 4:23, then what happened to make it become formless and void? When did this happen? Any good Bible teacher knows we are in the second Earth age and that God’s word states that there is a new heaven and Earth age to come as in Revelation 21 and 2 Peter 3:13 and many other places in God’s word. Why, if God’s word states that there was an age before this one, would it be so hard for believers to believe it? Let God’s word teach you the truth and break away from false teaching of man, the traditions of man, Romans 3:4.

Also, any Good Bible teacher knows of Satan’s fall, Isaiah 14:12–20 and Ezekiel 28:13-15. When do you think this fall happened? Not in this Earth age, and it has already happened so it can’t be in the new Earth and heaven age to come so when did it happen? In the first Earth age before this one, Genesis 1:1, In the beginning God created the heaven and earth. The Bible never says when he created it! This first creation happened long ago and we are not told how long things went on until the Earth became (Strong’s concordance Hebrew Dictionary number 1961) formless and void. See 'Age of the Earth'.

But we do know why! Satan took 1/3 of God‘s angels, messengers, children, sons of God, stars, people. All mean the same thing and that is us, mankind, Gods children! The Katabole/overthrow of Satan is when the earth became formless and void because Satan wanted to take over as God, Isaiah 14:12-20. God chose not to destroy 1/3 of his children but to destroy that Earth age and give everyone a chance to go through the flesh and choose who they will serve, God or Satan. This marks the end of the first Earth age, then Genesis 1:2 says the earth became (number 1961 Strong’s concordance Hebrew dictionary) formless and void. Genesis 1:3 is where the second Earth age begins. We are now in the second Earth age, a.k.a., the flesh age. The end of this Earth age and the beginning of the third Earth age are found in 2 Peter 3:10–16, Mark 13 and many other places in God’s word.

This new heaven and Earth age start with the return of the real messiah! But the false one, the son of perdition, the antichrist, must come first, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-10. Then Yashua returns and the thousand year reign of Christ with his elect will start the new heaven and Earth age, the third Earth age, 2 Peter 3:10–13. Most Bible teachers teach that this earth is about 6000 years old, but that doesn’t make any sense when you see the evidence of dinosaur bones much older than that and other things that prove the Earth has been around for a long, long time. Such as: the Grand Canyon, the pyramids, dinosaur bones, petrified trees, the age of rock sediment, etc. If you use the brain God gave you, you can see how the first Earth age makes complete sense and can be proven even by unbelievers and believers alike. Scientists and God’s word agree with this and teach this. So, to recap, the first Earth age began long ago, Genesis 1:1, we are now in the second Earth age, Genesis 1:3, and when messiah returns the third earth age begins, 2 Peter 3:10–13, Revelation 21. Now you know the truth about the three ages of the Earth according to God‘s word.
