***What Does Genesis 1:2,3 TRULY mean?
Here is Genesis 1:2,3 from the KJV. “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.
Gen 1:3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”
Did God CREATE the earth with DARKNESS upon the face of the deep as being the ORIGINAL state of the earth?
Absolutely NOT! For you see, if one interprets Genesis 1:1 as God created the entire universe, then that would mean that all of the STARS, planets, moons, galaxies, and solar systems were created as well,
And that would include the earth’s sun, moon and stars, having already existed in Genesis 1:2.
So then, WHY was there no LIGHT in Genesis 1:2?
Here is the TRUE SOUND Biblical REASON for why no LIGHT could be seen on the surface of the earth.
It was because of the THICK CLOUDS that God wrapped around the earth like a BLANKET as a COVERING for Himself, according to 2 Samuel 22:12, Job 22:13-16, Job 26:8, and Psalm 18:9-12.
Yes, Almighty God MADE there be darkness surrounding the earth during His WRATH of executing JUDGMENT right before verse 2.
And thus, the earth was without form and void, and DARKNESS was upon the face of the DEEP, speaking of the WATERS covering the earth because of the FLOOD, according to 2 Peter 3:4-7, Psalm 104:5,6, Psalm 24:2, Psalm 136:6, and Proverbs 8:24,25, plus many other passages of Scripture.

God Bowed the Heavens and Came Down with WRATH!
The TRUE God INTENDED meaning of Genesis chapter 1 can be clearly seen and understood by COMPARING Scripture with Scripture.
In other words, there was no LIGHT from the stars, the moon, or even from the sun that could PENETRATE the THICK DARK blanket of CLOUDS that Almighty God wrapped around the entire earth like BLANKET as a COVERING during His WRATH, according to 2 Samuel 22:12, Job 22:13-16, Job 26:8, and Psalm 18:9-12.
Let us begin this Verse Study of Genesis 1:1-4 by reading Job 22:8-20.
Job 22:8-20.
“But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honorable man dwelt in it. (Or the exalted sat as judges in it.
In other words, Lucifer and the now fallen Elohim had rule over the earth during a previous AGE of the earth, according to Job 8:8.
Please read the Verse Study called Job 8:8 Absolutely PROVES a PREVIOUS AGE of the Earth!
But for now, let us continue this Verse Study in God’s word)
Job 22:9. You (Speaking of the rulers, Lucifer and the now fallen angels) have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken. (Or and the strength of the orphans have been broken)
Job 22:10. Therefore, snares are round about you, (Speaking about the now ENEMIES of God, Satan and the fallen angels, the ministers of God) and sudden fear troubles you; (Or THEREFORE, because you have corrupted your ways to oppress the widows and orphans, POUNDINGS of My WRATH circle around you rulers in the air over the earth)
Job 22:11. Or DARKNESS, (Or ALSO DARKNESS covers the earth so) that you can not see; and abundance of waters cover you. (This is speaking of the DARKNESS that was over or ABOVE the face of the deep in Genesis 1:2.
And this JUDGMENT from Almighty God is BECAUSE of the way Lucifer and the Elohim over the earth during the FORMER AGE abused their rule to OPPRESS the former inhabitants of the earth.
And the waters are the DEEP that FLOODED the earth in Genesis 1:2.
The purpose of this Luciferian FLOOD was to DROWN God’s ENEMIES and make them DEAD or as spirits or GHOSTS formed under the WATERS, according to Job 26:5, which we will read shortly further on in this Verse Study)
Job 22:12. Is not God in the height of heaven? (Or am not, I, Eloah, the HIGHEST God, the God of gods?) And behold the height of the stars, how high they are! (According to Revelation 1:20, Job 38:7, and other passages of Scripture, the word “stars” in the Bible is sometimes used to refer to the angels.
So God is reminding the Elohim that it was He who SET them on thrones, and that there would be no other Elohim WITHOUT their Creator making them to become His Elohim, according to Isaiah 44:6)
Job 22:13. And you say, How does God know? Can He judge through the DARK CLOUD? (In other words, Satan and the fallen angels are wondering HOW Almighty God could possibly see them to keep on POUNDING them with arrows of JUDGMENT from heaven, when they could NOT see the good angels flying in the circle around the earth?)
Job 22:14. THICK CLOUDS are a COVERING to Him, that he sees not; and He walks in the circuit of heaven. (In other words, Almighty God made THICK DARK CLOUDS around the circle of the earth as a covering or as a CONCEALMENT for Him so that His enemy could NOT see HIM while God POUNDED the earth in judgment against the corrupted rulers over the earth that did not keep their first estate)
Job 22:15. Have you marked the OLD WAY which wicked men have trodden? (Or have you taken HEED of the WAY that the WICKED of ANCIENT times have walked?)
Job 22:16. Which were CUT DOWN out of time, (Or which we cut down NOT NOW or NOT of this time or of this AGE) whose foundation was OVERFLOWED with a FLOOD:
Job 22:17. Which said unto God, Depart from us: And what can the Almighty do for them? (Or what more could Almighty God have done for them that they should not have rebelled against Him to wage a WAR against the other side of heaven?)
Job 22:18. Yet He filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me. (Or but the prudence or the caution of the wicked RECEDED even further away from God)
Job 22:19. The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn. (Or the righteous consider their judgment and the blameless in Jesus will laugh)
Job 22:20. Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumes.”
Now let us read 2 Samuel 22:8-16, which is a song that David sang unto Yahweh when God delivered him from the hand of his enemies.
2 Samuel 22:8-16.
“Then the earth SHOOK and TREMBLED; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because He was wroth.
2 Samuel 22:9. There went up a smoke out of His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
2 Samuel 22:10. He BOWED the heavens also, and came down; and DARKNESS was under His feet. (Or Almighty God bent space to create a wormhole or a portal and He came down out of the third heaven in His WRATH.
And He treaded down or cut down His ENEMIES by making DARKNESS under Him or below Him and His army of angels.
In other words, this Hebrew word for DARKNESS speaks of the THICK DARK CLOUDS that Yahweh made to wrap around the entire earth to BLOCK OUT the LIGHT from the heavens)
2 Samuel 22:11. And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and He was seen upon the wings of the wind. (Or Yahweh mounted up AGAINST that anointed Cherub, Lucifer, and he did FLEE: for or because he, speaking of Lucifer, was AGAINST the wings of the Spirit)
2 Samuel 22:12. And He made DARKNESS pavilions round about Him, dark waters, (The Hebrew word for DARKNESS in this verse speaks of death and destruction all around and Yahweh and His army of angels OVERTHREW Lucifer and his angels in the first heaven, the atmosphere of the earth) and THICK CLOUDS of the skies. (Again, speaking of the same DARKNESS that covered the deep in Genesis 1:2)
2 Samuel 22:13. Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled. (Or through the brightness of Yahweh there went arrows of burning fires AGAINST him, speaking of Satan and the fallen angels and those coals of fire became brutish or brutal consuming some of them)
2 Samuel 22:14. The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered His voice.
2 Samuel 22:15. And He sent out ARROWS, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
2 Samuel 22:16. And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were DISCOVERED, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.”
Here we see that AFTER the wrath of God was poured out upon Lucifer and the fallen angels covering the whole earth with a FLOOD, the foundation of the earth was DISCOVERED when God rebuked the waters to recede at the wind of His breath.
In other words, God FIXED the earth after He BRUISED the earth in His wrath and judgment.
God rebuked the waters in Psalm 104:5-7, and then dry ground appeared in Genesis 1:9,10.
Let us move onto Job 26:5-14, which again teaches us that the earth BECAME without form and void because of the FLOOD that covered the mountains when God poured out His WRATH upon His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Notice that the context is speaking of the FOUNDATION of the earth.
Job 26:5-14.
“Dead things are formed from under the WATERS, and the inhabitants thereof. (Or GHOSTS or spirits are formed by DROWNING from under the WATERS, and the inhabitants thereof.
Now, to me, if God GAVE the angels eternal life, then God can certainly take that eternal life away if he so chooses that the fallen angels were no longer worthy to have eternal life.
So, to me, this is WHEN God MADE His angels spirits in Hebrews 1:7, Psalm 104:4-6, and Psalm 90:2-5)
Job 26:6. Hell is naked before him, and DESTRUCTION has no covering. (Notice that the CONTEXT before verse 7 is about killing the INHABITANTS on the earth BEFORE God hangs the earth upon nothing.
Notice that HELL has no protection from the DESTRUCTION is right BEFORE God hangs the earth upon nothing.
So then, how can the next verse truly mean the ORIGINAL CREATION of the earth, when the CONTEXT of verse 7 is all about the DESTRUCTION of the earth during the PREVIOUS AGE of the earth BEFORE God created Adam and Eve?)
Job 26:7. He stretched out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth upon nothing. (Now, church TRADITION takes verse 7 out of its context to WRONGLY teach that Job 26:7 is referring to when God ORIGINALLY CREATED the earth in the eternity past.
In other words, church tradition interprets the phrase, “He HANGS the earth out in space upon nothing” to mean the VERY beginning of the ORIGINAL creation of the earth.
But, when we look up the meanings of the Hebrew words, we can see a more CORRECT translation that AGREES with the CONTEXT.
Here is my more correct translation of verse 7.
“He OVERTHREW the DARKNESS because of the DESOLATION, and He EXTENDS or SUSPENDS the earth AGAINST being DESTROYED for a PURPOSE”.
And that purpose is to JUDGE Satan and the fallen Elohim for waging WAR against the other side of heaven.
For you see, the earth will indeed pass away or be destroyed with a great noise and the element will indeed melt with fervent heat on the final Day of Judgment after the 1000 year reign of Jesus, according to 2 Peter 3:7-13)
Job 26:8. He BINDS up the waters in His THICK CLOUDS; and the cloud is not rent under them. (In Revelation 17:1,15 we learn that the WATERS can mean PEOPLE.
So, according to the context and the other meanings of the Hebrew words, God is RESTRAINING Satan and the fallen angels to remain UNDER the THICK CLOUDS that God encircled the earth.
And thus, God’s enemy was not able to BREACH or rip through the CLOUD of God’s ARMY of angels to escape His wrath and judgment)
Job 26:9. He holds back the face of His throne, (Or He SEIZES BACK the face of His Throne.
Either way, how does this verse of God holding back or seizing back His THRONE FIT with an original creation of the earth?
It does NOT FIT! Therefore, we should be using these OTHER meanings of the Hebrew words to arrive at an understanding of these verses that AGREES with the whole CONTEXT and also agrees with the WHOLE Bible) and spreads His CLOUD upon it. (The word “cloud” in the Bible symbolically means protection like the pillar of a cloud in the wilderness.
And it also symbolizes an army coming like a CLOUD in Ezekiel 38:7-9.
Thus, God spread His ARMY of angels against His enemies that fled back to the earth, and He SURROUNDED the whole earth with His army of angels like a CLOUD)
Job 26:10. He has compassed the waters with BOUNDS, until the day and night come to an end. (Now, why would Almighty God CREATE day and night to come to an END?
That makes no logical sense at all. And that is because God is NOT talking about the ORIGINAL creation of the heavens and the earth.
Rather, God is talking about the WRATH that He poured out upon the fallen side of heaven and His setting things ARIGHT.
Day and Night are symbolic for the children of the DAY and the children of the NIGHT as being contrasted as a CHOICE for humans to choose whom they will serve.
And when the final Day of Judgment comes at the END, then there will be no more NIGHT, as in, no more EVIL)
Job 26:11. The pillars of heaven TREMBLE and are ASTONISHED at His REPROOF. (Again, how does this CONTEXT fit with an ORIGINAL creation of the entire universe?
It does not fit because God is NOT talking about the ORIGINAL creation of the universe anywhere in the entire Bible.
Rather, the CONTEXT of Job 26:7 is about the WRATH of Almighty God cutting down the EVIL or WAR to make PEACE between the angels so that He can sit down together with His Elohim in order to SETTLE this uproar of one side of heaven against the other side of heaven)
Job 26:12. He DIVIDES the sea with his power, (Or more correctly understood, Yahweh separated the wicked corrupted fallen angels from the good angels who remained faithful to Him) and by His understanding He SMITES through the PROUD. (Again, the context surrounding verse 7 proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that Genesis 1:3-31 is NOT the ORIGINAL creation of the earth.
But rather, it is God RESTORING the earth after it BECAME without form and void because of the WAR between the angels)
Job 26:13. By His Spirit He has garnished the heavens; (This means brightness or let there be LIGHT) His hand has formed the crooked serpent. (Or more correctly translated, His hand has WOUNDED the FUGITIVE fleeing serpent)
Job 26:14. Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? But the thunder of His power who can understand?”
Or which of you has truly CONSIDERED His mighty POWER, as in, Yahweh mighty power to overthrow His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels, when God HUNG the earth upon NOTHING in verse 7?
In other words, have any of you TRULY considered the CONTEXT of Job 26:7 to see that it actually means God SUSPENDED the earth, as in, God delayed destroying Satan and his angels in the lake of fire.
But WHY? Why did Almighty God withdraw His hand of wrath of rebuke and reproof?
For what REASON did God “tâlâh” the earth, which also means SUSPEND, especially in the sense of GIBBETTING the earth?
According to Wikipedia, here is what “gibbetting” means.
“Gibbeting is the use of a gallows-type structure from which the dead or dying bodies of criminals were hanged on public display to deter other existing or potential criminals.”
In other words, God is suspending or deferring the lake of fire to make sure that no other of His creation will ever try such an INSOLENT thing as to wage WAR.
Now, in the LIGHT of all of the CONTEXT of these other passages of Scripture referring to the FOUNDATION of the earth clearly showing the WRATH of God DESTROYING the earth with a FLOOD, then clearly God did NOT CREATE the ORIGINAL earth without form and void having DARKNESS upon the face of the deep.
For you see, ALL of the other verses clearly teach that the earth BECAME without form and void BECAUSE God CUT DOWN the heavens and the earth for a PURPOSE.
So, I implore all YEC Christians or the Young Earth Creationist Christians to read all of the studies under the subject menu heading called ** The PREVIOUS AGE of the Earth! **
And below is a list of verses that clearly teach us about a PREVIOUS AGE of the earth.

Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
For a deeper understanding of this WAR that Lucifer and one third of the angels waged against the throne of Almighty God, please read the studies under the subject category called ** Q-0 Why Are We Here? Is God at WAR? **.
