The Sun Can NOT be Seen Through DARK Cloud Cover!
***What Does Genesis 1:3,4 TRULY mean?
Here is Genesis 1:3,4 from the KJV. “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Gen 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Did God CREATE the earth with DARKNESS upon the face of the deep as being the ORIGINAL state of the earth?
NO! 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.

The TRUE Biblical Reason for No LIGHT in Genesis 1:2!
The SIMPLE answer for God saying “Let there be LIGHT” in Genesis 1:3 BEFORE God made two great lights, the sun and the moon in Genesis 1:16, is that the sun and the moon were ALREADY there, but they could not be SEEN through the THICK DARK CLOUDS covering the earth like a BLANKET.
Please read the Verse Study called Genesis 1:2,3 The TRUE Sound Biblical Meaning!
The subtitle is called The TRUE Reason for No LIGHT!
But for now, imagine being on the earth during the WRATH of Almighty God and there are THICK DARK CLOUDS covering the whole earth so that no LIGHT from the sun, the moon or the stars could get THROUGH that thick dark cloud COVERING the earth light a blanket.
Then God lifts His wrath and begins FIXING the earth after BRUISING and POUNDING the earth in His WRATH and judgment.
But instead of God instantaneously creating a brand new earth, the only WISE God began restoring the earth SLOWLY by GRADUALLY removing the thick dark clouds to LET there be light getting through the clouds little by little.
Let us read some prophecies of God’s yet future wrath so you can see that the darkness described in Genesis 1:2 fits perfectly with the description of God’s yet future wrath.
Zephaniah 1:15-17.
“That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of DARKNESS and gloominess, a day of CLOUDS and THICK DARKNESS,
Zephaniah 1:16. A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. (In other words, a day of WAR, God’s army OVERTHROWING Satan and his angels)
Zephaniah 1:17. And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.”
Now, the Bible ALSO teaches us in Ecclesiastes 1:9 that what has ALREADY happened in the PAST shall happen AGAIN.
In other words, God has ALREADY poured out His WRATH upon the earth and God will pour out His wrath again to FINISH what He BEGAN to do at the foundation of the earth.
Please read Hebrew 12:26.
“Whose voice then shook the EARTH: but now He has promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth ONLY, but ALSO heaven.”
Now, the Holy Spirit teaches us through the Apostle Peter’s writing in 2 Peter 3:8 to NOT be IGNORANT of this ONE thing.
And that one thing is that one day of the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as one day.
Peter is quoting Psalm 90:4, which I have read many times. But the other day, the Holy Spirit showed me something that I did not see before.
The Holy Spirit led me to look up the meanings of the Hebrew words and then use those other meanings to arrive at this more correct translation of the CONTEXT before and after verse 4.
Psalm 90:3-8.
“Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You SHOOK the earth and the world, even from an AGE to an AGE, You are God. (In other words, God temporarily suspended or prevented the mountains by flooding the earth when He SHOOK the earth and the world in PAIN.
And God did that to DELIVER the earth from that AGE to bring to birth another AGE of the earth and the world)
Psa 90:3. You turn MAN to DESTRUCTION; and say, RESTORE AGAIN, you children of MEN. (In other words, Almighty God DESTROYED the previous inhabitants on the earth in His WRATH and judgment.
Then God said to the children of MEN to go and multiply to REPLENISH the earth in Genesis 1:28.
And the English word “replenish” means to fill and to build up AGAIN.
Now, what the Holy Spirit pointed out to me is that the Hebrew word that is translated as “MAN” is not the Hebrew word “ADAM” which means HUMAN.
But rather, it is the Hebrew word “'ĕnôsh” which means MORTAL.
Thus, the “'ĕnôsh” that God DESTROYED were NOT HUMANS!
Rather, they were the fallen angels and also the previous inhabitants of the PREVIOUS AGE of the earth that God BRUISED or WOUNDED during His WRATH before God began RESTORING to earth to be inhabitable once again.
Now notice that this wrath that has ALREADY happened in the PAST is referred to as YESTERDAY and a day as being one thousand years)
Psa 90:4. For a thousand years in Your sight are but as YESTERDAY when it is PAST, and as a watch in the night.(In other words, God wants us to see that in the PAST, the days BEGAN with the MORNING.
To say this another way, God wants us to understand that He created His previous creation GOOD, but then they CHANGED by corrupting themselves.
And thus, they needed to be CUT DOWN and God CUT DOWN the previous AGE of the earth with a FLOOD in His wrath and JUDGMENT)
Psalm 90:5. You carried them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: (Or they are DEAD, but their spirits are still alive until the final Day of Judgment) in the MORNING they are like grass which grows up.
Psalm 90:6. In the MORNING it flourishes, and grows up; in the evening it is cut down, and withers.
Psalm 90:7. FOR we are consumed by your anger, and by Your wrath are we troubled.
Psalm 90:8. You have set (Or You have regarded and marked) our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your countenance.”
Now, the following context is speaking of this PRESENT AGE, but the context before verse 4 is speaking of the PREVIOUS AGE of the earth BEFORE God SHOOK the earth and brought those inhabitants of the earth to destruction with a FLOOD.
So, the MESSAGE that we need to understand from the whole word of Almighty God is that if the fallen angel did not escape the JUDGMENT of God, then neither will MAN escape the judgment of God.
But the GOOD NEW of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is that we who are saved in Jesus are NOT APPOINTED to the WRATH of God, according to 1 Thessalonians 5:9.
However, any one of us can be deceived to depart from God and return to being DISOBEDIENT children, and according to Ephesians 5:6,7 and Colossians 3:6, the WRATH of God will be poured out upon the children of disobedience.
Let us read another prophecy of the yet future WRATH of Almighty God.
Joel 2:2-11.
“A day of DARKNESS and of gloominess, a day of CLOUDS and of THICK DARKNESS, as the morning spread upon the mountains: (Or as the DAWN or as the FIRST Light dispersed, scattered or broken in pieces the mountains of the previous AGE of the earth.
The word “mountains” prophetically means kingdoms) a great people and a strong; there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. (In other words, what happened during the previous age of the earth never happened before that time.
There had always been PEACE in the universes for billions of years, until the day when Lucifer corrupted himself and waged a WAR against the other side of heaven.
The Bible does not tell us how long that war in HEAVEN lasted, nor are we specifically told the exact date that the war in heaven began.
But we do have some clues that give us the understanding that God CUT DOWN the earth around 7,000 years BEFORE God began RESTORING the earth in Genesis 1:3-31.
And thus, the recreation or the restoring of the earth took 6,000 years.
Therefore, MAN or human beings are only around 6,000 years old, but the earth and the universe is AGELESS.
In other words, according to the WHOLE word of Almighty God. our Creator who created us just 6,000 years ago, created the universe, which INCLUDED the earth, in the far distant ETERNITY past.
And in my opinion, so far in the past was the universe created that man cannot NUMBER the amount of years.
Hence, we use the word ETERNITY past and ETERNITY future.
It makes no sense for God to exist for all ETERNITY and only BEGIN creating the universe just 6,000 years ago.
And there is a VAST amount of sound Scripture proof that there was a PREVIOUS or a FORMER AGE of the earth.
And, as I said before, both Ecclesiastes 1:9 and Ecclesiates 3:15 clearly teach us that what has ALREADY happened is NOW, and what is PAST shall happen AGAIN.
And Jesus said that there shall be tribulation such as has not been SINCE the beginning of the world, nor shall there ever be again.
In other words, there shall be AGAIN great tribulation LIKE there was at the BEGINNING of this AGE before God restored the earth to be inhabitable once again, according to Mark 13:19, Matthew 24:21, and Daniel 12:1.
Thus, we can learn what it was like at the foundation of the world by looking at the prophecies of God’s yet future wrath)
Joel 2:3. A fire devours before them; and behind them a flame burns: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. (Here again, we see that the earth was a garden paradise BEFORE God BRUISED, POUNDED, and WOUNDED the earth during the PREVIOUS AGE of the earth.
For you see, EDEN is the earth itself and God planted a garden in the EAST of EDEN, in Genesis 2:8.
Joel 2:4-11.
“The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
Joel 2:5. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
Joel 2:6. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
Joel 2:7. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
Joel 2:8. Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
Joel 2:9. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
Joel 2:10. The earth shall QUAKE (Or SHAKE) before them; the heavens shall tremble: (Or the heavens ALSO shall be SHAKEN, according to Hebrews 12:26, and Matthew 24:29-31) the SUN and the moon shall be DARK, and the STARS shall withdraw their SHINING:”
Now, this does NOT mean that the sun, moon and stars will CEASE to exist.
But rather, it SIMPLY means that the LIGHT from the sun, moon, and stars will be BLOCKED during God’s yet future wrath by THICK DARK CLOUDS.
And, in the SAME way, God made DARK THICK CLOUDS as His covering at the FOUNDATION of the earth in Genesis 1:2 to BLOCK the light from the sun, the moon, and the stars from penetrating His covering to hide His ARMY while POUNDING the earth with His ARROWS or weapons of WAR.
So then, in the same way that there shall be no LIGHT in the yet future wrath of God with the sun moon and stars EXISTING, so also the sun, moon, and stars ALREADY existed in Genesis 1:2,3.
But there was no light BECAUSE of the dark thick clouds that God made to cover the earth like a BLANKET as His strategy of WAR to OVERTHROW His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen Elohim.
Now, some YEC Christians may argue that Genesis 1:14-19 says that God MADE the two great lights and that God ALSO MADE the stars.
But the words, “ALSO MADE” the stars are NOT in the original Hebrew text.
And the Hebrew word translated as “MADE” the two great lights also means APPOINTED, GOVERNED, and GRANTED the sun and the moon to be two great lights.
And then God SET or ORDAINED or GRANTED them to RULE in the firmament in heaven, which are two prophecies.
Satan, the moon god would rule over the children of the NIGHT, the children of DARKNESS during this present world.
And the Sun of RIGHTEOUSNESS will be granted to RULE over the whole earth during the world to come, but also be granted to rule over the children of the DAY, the children of LIGHT during this present world.
So, as you can see from OTHER passages of Scripture, the BEGINNING of creation and the FOUNDATION of the world is NOT what church TRADITION has misled us to wrongly believe.
Not that the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church deliberately set out to DECEIVE the whole world, but rather, they themselve were DECEIVED by Satan, the god of this present world.
So again, I implore you to read the following two studies.
Job 38:6 The TRUE Meaning of Foundation of the Earth!
Q-5. The True Meaning of the FOUNDATION of the World!
For you see, the foundation of the earth and the world is NOT what church TRADITION has mislead us to wrongly believe by Satan DECEIVING the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church.
And then, because of FALSE doctrine, the translators were DECEIVED by Satan to INCORRECTLY translate the verses of Scripture that teach us about the FALL of the PREVIOUS AGE of the earth)
Joel 2:11. And the LORD shall utter His voice before His ARMY: for His camp is very great: for he is strong that executes His word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?”
So then, AFTER the yet future WRATH of God has past, if God would say, “Let there be LIGHT”, would that mean that God CREATED the light for the very FIRST time?
NO! Absolutely NOT! But rather, it would simply mean that God commanded the light to be allowed to be SEEN through the THICK DARK cloud covering the earth.
In other words, the clouds THINNED down to the point that the LIGHT from the sun could get THROUGH the clouds, but the SUN itself could not yet be SEEN.
And for whatever reason, the only WISE God CHOSE to do this thinning of the clouds and the restoring of the earth SLOWLY over a period of a four thousand years.
And by Genesis 1:14-19, the end of the fourth day, the sun, moon, and the stars could bee SEEN from the surface of the earth.
Plus, the earth was now reading for plant and animal life to grow again.
Again, 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.

Hebrews 4:3. Foundation of the WORLD (G2889) Or the works were finished because of DEPOSITION of AGE.
Hebrews 6:5. AGE (G165) to come

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? **.
