Deuteronomy 3:32 Teaches Us of a Previous AGE of the Earth!
I believe that the Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us that the earth is ANCIENT in age. However, in comparison to the earth and the entire Universe being created by Almighty God, Yahweh, in the eternity past, the human race of beings is extremely young and only around 6,000 years old.
Also, there are many verses of Scripture in the Bible that teach us about a WAR between one side of heaven against the other side of heaven BEFORE God created MAN upon the earth.
I also believe that there is an abundance of PHYSICAL evidence on the earth that proves the earth is as OLD as the hills, so to speak, or ANCIENT in age. And there is also physical evidence of a cataclysmic event that wiped out the inhabitants of a previous civilization that was on the earth BEFORE God created MAN upon the earth.
Now, what I mean by MAN being created by God upon the earth, let me be perfectly clear that I am speaking of the creation of Adam and Eve in the book of Genesis that took place around 6,000 years ago.
Also, before we begin this study in God’s word, I want to make it known that just because many Christians believe in an OLD earth does NOT mean that we believe in the man-made theory of evolution. Nor does it mean that we are supposedly
“compromising” our faith in God.
But rather, it simply means that our faith in God does not dogmatically demand that we MUST believe in a YOUNG universe that is only 6,000 years old. Nor do we have to believe that God spoke His word and the entire universe “INSTANTLY” appeared in a blink of an eye or that God created everything in the universe 144 HOURS.
In other words, we who believe in an OLD earth have the option to say, we honestly do not KNOW how long it took from the time God SPOKE His word to the time His word came to pass and His spoken word became the universe.
Therefore, to us, God “COULD” have created the entire Universe in an instant of time in the far distant eternity past millions or billions of years ago.
But we also have the option to believe that God SPOKE His word and the universe began to be formed over a long period of time in accordance to HIS design the He ORDAINED.
Either way, we still firmly believe that Almighty God created the entire Universe ALONE and by Himself, according to Isaiah 44:24.
For those of you who believe in a young earth, please consider how long it took for God to fulfill or bring to pass His PLAN of Salvation that He ORDAINED in His MIND before the foundation of the world. You see, when God spoke His word of PROPHECY concerning His Messiah, our Lord and Savior did not “instantly appear as a fully grown man” being SLAIN on a cross.
Rather, it took around FOUR THOUSAND years from the time God formed His plan of His Lamb SLAIN before the foundation of the world, to the time that God brought His word to pass when the Son of man, Jesus, offered himself to God without spot through the eternal Spirit dwelling in him, according to Hebrews 9:14.
So then, why would God FORMING the worlds by His spoken word, according to Hebrew 11:3, be any different? I mean WHY is it so vitally important to some young earth Christians that God created the entire universe and every living thing in 144 HOURS or in SIX 24 HOUR days? I mean what was the big hurry for God who has existed from all eternity past to get the entire Universe created in 144 hours?
With that being said, I will list the arguments by number for an OLD earth that is ANCIENT in age. I will number the list somewhat in the order of LOGICAL sense. In other words, which view makes the most logical sense when it comes to WITNESSING to the unsaved people in the world?
Argument #1 for an OLD earth.
The MOST HIGH God is called the ANCIENT of DAYS, according Daniel 7:9,13,22. You can read the context within those verses of Scripture on your own.
Here is Daniel 7:9,13,22.
“I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure wool: His throne was like the fiery flame, and His wheels were as burning fire…
…Daniel 7:13. I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of MAN came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before Him…
…22 Until the Ancient of days came, and JUDGMENT was given to the saints of the Most High; (Speaking of Almighty God, Yahweh, the ANCIENT of days) and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.”
One of the central themes of context in the Bible is God’s JUDGMENT at the END of this present earth passing AWAY, according to Matthew 24:35 and 2 Peter 2:10.
And the very REASON that God created MAN upon the earth is to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels. Please read the study called D-32 WHY Does God Need WITNESSES?
But for now, let us continue with this study. The English word “ancient” means belonging to the very DISTANT past and no longer in existence.
So then, the Ancient of DAYS means the DAYS in the very DISTANT past that no longer exist. In other words, PREHISTORIC days of the earth during a previous AGE of the earth that no longer exists in this present world, the DAYS BEFORE God created Adam and Eve upon the earth.
And thus, the meaning of the word “ancient” in the Scripture AGREES with what the unsaved people of the world ALREADY believe concerning the earth being an ANCIENT earth that Scientists say is some 3.5 to 4.5 billion years old or even older.
So, argument number two is based on the logic of which view gives the BEST WITNESS to the non Christians in the world. In other words, which view will the unbelievers in the world, who do not believe in the one true God and His Son, Jesus, most likely listen to as being logical in their minds?
Are the lost people in the world more open to the young earth view that God created the entire Universe in only 144 HOURS?
Or will the people of the world be more open to hear that the Bible ALSO teaches that the Universe came into existence billions of years ago, which they already believe?
Argument #2 for an OLD earth.
Why fight against the EVIDENCE, both the physical and the Biblical evidence for an OLD earth that is ANCIENT in age.
Again, does the YOUNG earth view give the BEST WITNESS to win the lost people of the world to Jesus?
Or does the OLD ANCIENT earth view give the BEST WITNESS to win the lost people of the world to Jesus?
In other words, would the lost people of the world be more likely to LISTEN to Christians who believe that the earth could very well be billions of years old or even older just like they themselves already believe?
Or would the lost people of the world be more likely to LISTEN to Christians who teach that God created the entireUniverse in 144 HOURS or in SIX 24 HOUR days?
Which view is SALTY to make the world thirst for WATER, the water of eternal life?
Please read Matthew 5:13-16.
“You are the SALT of the earth: but if the SALT has LOST his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. (Be honest with yourself and with God, does the young earth view that God created the entire Universe in 144 HOURS just 6,000 years ago cause those in the world to THIRST for the water of God’s word? Or do men simply trample that salt that LOST his savor under their feet?)
Matthew 5:14. You are the LIGHT of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Matthew 5:15. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light unto all that are in the house.
Matthew 5:16. Let your LIGHT so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
Again, which view of creation is the greater LIGHT? The light that gives light to ALL being open and honest? Or the light placed under a bushel that HIDES the light and only those under the bushel can understand that view of the light?
Is it even God’s light? Or did the “interpretation” that God created the entire Universe in 144 HOURS or in SIX 24 HOUR literal days come from our ENEMY Satan, the rebel god of this present world to blind the eyes of those who do not believe the truth?
Please read 2 Corinthians 4:2-4.
“But (We) have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to EVERY man's conscience in the sight of God.
2 Corinthians 4:3. But if our gospel is hidden, it is hidden to them that are lost:
2 Corinthians 4:4. In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
To me, the light of the glorious gospel must be LOGICAL in EVERY man’s conscience. And God creating the entire Universe in 144 HOURS or in SIX 24 HOUR days is NOT logical to the lost people in the world. Nor is it logical to Christians who truly seek the truth in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And thus, that so-called “light” of a YOUNG earth that was supposedly created in 144 HOURS HIDES the truth of God’s word that clearly teaches us that the earth is an ANCIENT earth and of an ancient TIME or AGE of the earth before God created MAN upon the earth.
Argument #3 for an OLD earth.
How does just a 6,000 year period of time convey the true meaning of the ETERNITY past? What I mean by this is, if God created the earth in the eternity past and the ETERNITY past is only just 6,000 years, then to ME, the eternity FUTURE will also only be 6,000 years as well. And just 12,000 years does not sound like ETERNITY to me.
But if the eternity past is TRULY so far in the past that the number of years cannot be counted, then the eternity future will also be the SAME. So again, to me, the young earth view does NOT glorify God as being an ETERNAL God who has promised us ETERNAL life.
Also, to me, and to the lost people of the world as well, it is NOT LOGICAL to say that God existed in the past for all eternity alone and by Himself for all of those years of ETERNITY past. And then, argue that God created the entire Universe just 6,000 years ago in 144 HOURS.
I mean why did it take God billions of years to finally decide to create the Universe just 6,000 years ago? What a waste of the eternity past, in my own opinion. And what was God’s hurry to create the entire Universe in 144 HOURS?
So to me, it makes for more sense to believe what the Bible ITSELF teaches as a WHOLE in the LIGHT of ALL of the Scriptures. In other words, the CONTEXT of the so-called six 24 HOUR DAYS of creation INCLUDES the SEVENTH DAY. This brings us to argument number four.
Argument #4 for an OLD earth.
According to Genesis 2:1-3, the Scriptures make no mention of the EVENING and the MORNING concerning the seventh DAY. In other words, it must be “INTERPRETED” that all of the phrases “And the evening and the morning” must dogmatically mean, without fail, a 24 HOUR DAY in every single occurrence of that phrase.
Clearly, the Bible ITSELF uses the word “DAY” to mean each day for a year, according to Numbers 14:33,34, and Ezekiel 4:6. And a week being seven years is found in the account of Jacob serving seven years for each of his wives, in Genesis 29:20-30. And all Christians know and understand that the 70th WEEK in Daniel 9:27 is NOT a literal week of seven 24 hour days.
And, according to 2 Peter 3:8, a day is like a 1000 years and a 1000 years is like a day with God. Also, God uses dual meanings in the term “DAYS” to teach us of a DAY or TIME in the distant past before God created Adam and Eve upon the earth while teaching us of a DAY or TIME after God created man upon the earth. I will explain what I mean by this further on in this study of God’s word.
Therefore, since the seventh day in Genesis 2:1-3 is a prophecy of a 1000 year long DAY of Yahweh’s Sabbath rest during the 1000 year reign of Jesus in the world to come, then the first six days should NOT be “interpreted” as six literal 24 HOUR DAYS. But rather, the restoration of the earth in Genesis chapter 1, should be understood as no less than 6,000 years of God restoring the earth to be habitable once again.
Remember that it took FOUR THOUSAND years for the PROPHECY of LIGHT in Genesis 1:3,4 to come to pass. In other words, it was some FOUR THOUSAND years before the LIGHT of the world was manifested as the Son of God from the time God said “let there be LIGHT” in Genesis 1:3,4.
Now, I say the “RESTORATION” of the earth in Genesis 1:3-31, because I do not believe that the Bible ITSELF teaches us that the earth was “CREATED” for the first time 6,000 years ago. I believe that the six days in Genesis are 1000 year-long days. And thus, some 12,000 years ago the earth BECAME without form and void, then sis 1000 year-long days later, God created MAN, the first Adam.
Also, the six 1000 year-long days of God restoring the PHYSICAL earth are PROPHECY of God restoring righteousness in the earth.
Argument #5 for an OLD earth.
11
The Hebrew word translated as “day” in Genesis chapter 1 has many meanings. Here is how the concordance in E-Sword defines the Hebrew word “yom” that is translated as the word first “day” in Genesis 1:5.
H3117
יֹום
yôm
yome
From an unused root meaning to be hot; a day (as the warm hours), whether literally (from sunrise to sunset, or from one sunset to the next), or figuratively (a space of time defined by an associated term), (often used adverbially): - age, + always, + chronicles, continually (-ance), daily, ([birth-], each, to) day, (now a, two) days (agone), + elder, X end, + evening, + (for) ever (-lasting, -more), X full, life, as (so) long as (. . . live), (even) now, + old, + outlived, + perpetually, presently, + remaineth, X required, season, X since, space, then, (process of) time, + as at other times, + in trouble, weather, (as) when, (a, the, within a) while (that), X whole (+ age), (full) year (-ly), + younger.
Here is Genesis 1:5 with the meaning AGE.
“And God called the light Day, (Or God called the light PERPETUAL or ETERNAL) and the darkness he called Night. (Or and the darkness He called adversity, sorrow, or HEARTBREAKING. For you see, God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked) And the evening and the morning were the first AGE.”
Did not the cross usher in another AGE, a new creation of God’s people being given the power to become the sons and daughters of God? Were there any new creatures created in Jesus Christ during a previous AGE before the cross? NO!
The TRUTH of the matter is that God’s creation of ETERNAL LIGHT, as in, God creating the children of the light, actually began because of the DARKNESS. That is why the “Biblical” DAY begins with EVENING and ENDS with BREAKING the darkness with LIGHT.
God is showing us as humans that we would not exist if it was not for the very reason to put as END to darkness and evil. This will become clear as you continue this study in God’s word.
Argument #6 for an OLD earth.
In argument number one we saw in Daniel 7:9-22 that thrones will be cast down by the Ancient of DAYS on the two separate days of JUDGMENT and that the thrones will be given to the SAINTS.
And, according to many verses of Scripture, such as Psalm 57:6-10, we can clearly see that Satan is being dethroned or cast out of his throne and that his throne is GIVEN to the Son of MAN, Jesus for 1000 years in the AGE to come.
Clearly, Genesis 1:26 teaches us that God GAVE the DOMINION over the earth on the sixth day.
Genesis 1:26.
“And God said, Let us make MAN in our image, after our likeness: and let THEM have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”
So, the question arises as to WHO is God talking to, saying, let us make man in our image, seeing that He has not yet created MAN upon the earth. The Jews, and many Christians as well, believe that God is talking to the angels. And that means that God created the angels BEFORE God created man upon the earth.
Now, since the Ancient of DAYS is in the process of casting down THRONES and bringing JUDGMENT, then that means that God took away the dominion of the earth from the angels and gave that dominion over the earth to Adam. And that means that the angels ruled over the earth during a PREVIOUS AGE of the earth. Please read the study called Psalm 8:5 Jesus Was Made a Little Lower Than the ELOHIM! But for now, let us move on to argument number seven.
Argument #7 for an OLD earth.
God created MAN and the Son of MAN upon the earth SPECIFICALLY for the PURPOSE to STILL His ENEMIES, according to Psalm 8:1-6.
Please read Psalm 8:1-6.
“To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth! Who has set Your glory above the heavens.
Psalm 8:2. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have You ordained strength BECAUSE OF Your ENEMIES, THAT (Or so THAT, or in ORDER THAT) You might STILL the ENEMY and the AVENGER.
Psalm 8:3. When I CONSIDER Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
Psalm 8:4. What is, MAN, that You are mindful of him? And the Son of MAN, that You visit him? (So then, it is obvious to David that the angels, the Earth, the moon and the stars already existed long before God decided to create another species of beings called MAN or the HUMANS to be made a little LOWER than the angels)
Psalm 8:5. For (Or BECAUSE) You have made him a little LOWER than the ANGELS, and have CROWNED him with glory and honor.
Psalm 8:6. You made him to have DOMINION over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet:”
Here we see that God specifically and deliberately made humans to be lower than His previous creation of the angels. And God specifically made humans to have DOMINION over the work of His hands.
So again, we see that God is in the process of DETHRONING the ANGELS and PROMOTING the HUMANS to have the RULE over the earth. And that means that the angels had to have once ruled over the earth during a PREVIOUS AGE in order for God to sit down with His angels to FOUND a solution to the REBELLION of Lucifer and the fallen angels.
So then, God said to the Elohim, His angels, Let us make MAN in our image and after our likeness, but I will make them a little LOWER and INFERIOR to you angels. And let THEM have DOMINION over the earth. And then, we will see if I am to be blamed for you angels rebelling against Me to make WAR against Me. Again, please read the study called Psalm 8:5 Jesus Was Made a Little Lower Than the ELOHIM!
Argument #8 for an OLD earth.
Yahweh, the Ancient of days will enter into JUDGMENT with the ANCIENTS of His people. Please read Isaiah 3:14,15.
James 3:14,15.
“The LORD will enter into JUDGMENT with the ANCIENTS of His people, and the princes thereof: for you have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
James 3:15. What do you mean that you beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? Says the Lord GOD of hosts.”
I believe that Jesus is referring to this passage of Scripture when he teaches us the parable of the husband of the vineyard in Matthew 21:33-42.
Please read Matthew 21:33-42.
“Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: (In other words, Yahweh, the Ancient of days planted a Garden in EDEN and SET Lucifer as the caretaker or as the “husbandman” over His garden in a PREVIOUS AGE of the earth BEFORE God created MAN upon the earth)
Matthew 21:34. And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, so that they might receive the fruits of it.
Matthew 21:35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Matthew 21:36. Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
Matthew 21:37. But last of all He sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence My son.
Matthew 21:38. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
Matthew 21:39. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
Matthew 21:40. When the lord therefore of the vineyard comes, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
Matthew 21:41. They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto OTHER husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
Matthew 21:42. Jesus saith unto them, Did you never read in the Scriptures, The STONE which the builders REJECTED, the SAME has become the HEAD of the CORNER: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?”
Now, I fully realize that the context of this parable is speaking of the Jews who REJECT Jesus as the head CORNERSTONE, but according to Ecclesiastes 3:15, what is yet to BE has ALREADY happened in the ancient past. Remember the God ALREADY had an ENEMY and that is WHY God created MAN upon the earth to STILL His enemy and the avenger, according to Psalm 8:1-6.
And thus, God FLOODED the earth to cut down His ENEMY in Genesis 1:1,2. And the God RESTORED the earth over six 1000 year-long days and LET OUT His vineyard or His Garden of Eden to ANOTHER tenant, the MAN Adam, and gave MAN DOMINION over the earth.
But Satan DECEIVED Adam and Eve to steal back the rulership over the earth that God took away from Lucifer because of his corruption and violence.
Argument #9 for an OLD earth.
What has happened BEFORE is NOW and shall be again. Please read Ecclesiastes 1:9-11 and Ecclesiastes 3:15.
Ecclesiastes 1:9-11.
“The thing that has been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:10. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It has ALREADY BEEN of OLD TIME, which was BEFORE us.
Ecclesiastes 1:11. There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.”
Ecclesiastes 3:15.
“That which HAS BEEN is NOW; and that which is TO BE has ALREADY BEEN been; and God requires that which is PAST.”
Now, if NOTHING existed before 6,000 years ago as YOUNG earth Christians CLAIM, then these passages of Scriptures in Ecclesiastes cannot be TRUE. In other words, the “INTERPRETATION” of a YOUNG earth CONTRADICTS the SCRIPTURES.
The young earth Christians dogmatically demand that Adam and Eve committed the FIRST sin. But the Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us the God created MAN upon the earth in order to STILL His ENEMIES and the avenger, according to Psalm 8:1-6 and Deuteronomy 4:32. This brings us to argument number ten for an OLD earth that is ancient in years.
Argument #10 for an OLD earth.
Deuteronomy 4:32 clearly teaches us that there were days that are past that were BEFORE us from the day that God created MAN upon the earth.
Deuteronomy 4:32.
“For ASK NOW of the DAYS that are PAST, which were BEFORE you, since (Or FROM) the day that God created MAN upon the earth, and ASK from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?”
So then, something happened BEFORE God created man upon the earth and God wants us to ASK HIM about those days BEFORE Genesis 1:3-31.
God also want us to ASK Him about that GREAT thing that happened which never happen before in all eternity past.
And when we look up the meanings of the Hebrew words in this verse of Scripture, then we can see that BEFORE God created MAN upon the earth there was an INSOLENT thing that happened. And that insolent arrogant thing that happened BEFORE God created man upon the earth was an intergalactic WAR in heaven.
In other words, ONE side of heaven was AGAINST the OTHER side of heaven. Now, the KJV “translation” as well as other translations, hide this truth from us by NOT translating the second word for heaven. Let me show you what I mean.
Here is the last part of Deuteronomy 4:32 (b).
“...and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, (Or more correctly) ...and ask the REASON OF one side of heaven AGAINST the other side of heaven, whether there has been any such thing as this great thing is, (Or more correctly “translated”, whether there has been any such thing as this INSOLENT thing that is) or has been heard like it?”
For you see, the Hebrew word translated as “great” also means INSOLENT, which means arrogant disrespect. In other words, it was an arrogant, cocky, brazen attempt for Lucifer and the fallen angels to wage a WAR against their CREATOR.
Argument #11 for an OLD earth.
The YOUNG earth interpretation forces God to be the CREATOR of ALL EVIL. Think this through for yourself. Can you not see that IF NOTHING was created BEFORE 6,000 years ago, then that means that God had to have created the angels on one of the first five so-called “interpreted” 24 HOUR days of creation?
Some may be thinking, so what! What is the problem with the angels being created 1 HOUR to 120 HOURS before God created MAN upon the earth?
Well, I see several problems! First of all, the interpreted meaning of each day of or creation being 24 hours each, then that would mean that there would have been only 1 HOUR to a maximum of 120 HOURS for Lucifer to have coerced or persuaded one third of the angels to rebel against God and wage a WAR against God’s throne where one side of heaven is against the other side of heaven.
In other words, one third of all of the angels would have had to have SINNED during one of those first five so-called 24 HOUR days of creation, which is a maximum of 120 HOURS.
Secondly, I see an even BIGGER problem than just 120 hours for one third of God’s perfect creation of angels to turn EVIL. And that even bigger problem is God ORDAINED in His mind that His Lamb would be SLAIN BEFORE the FOUNDATION of the world.
Therefore, IF the angels had NOT SINNED BEFORE the foundation of the world, as being the REASON for the creation of MAN upon the earth, then that would consequently mean that God also ORDAINED Lucifer and the fallen angels to REBEL and wage a WAR against His throne.
And that CONTRADICTS the Scriptures which clearly teach us that God is LIGHT and there is NO DARKNESS in Him at all.
So then, according to Psalm 8:1-6, God specifically created MAN and the Son of MAN a little LOWER than the ANGELS for the very PURPOSE to STILL His ENEMIES and the avenger. And that means that one third of the angels had to have rebelled and made war with God BEFORE God created MAN upon the earth, according to Deuteronomy 4:32.
And thus, simple LOGIC teaches us that the angels are ANCIENT in age, which means that God created the entire Universe in the eternity past. And God created all of the angels PERFECT on the day He created them billions of years ago.
Now, the “PHYSICAL” evidence on the earth leads me to believe that Lucifer and the fallen angels were caused to surrender due to a WAR on the earth around 12,000 years ago.
In other words, it was around 12,000 years ago that God sat down with the angels or the Elohim, the gods that He Himself SET on thrones to be gods or mighty rulers over the earth and other planets in the universe. And it was then that God FOUNDED or devised His His PLAN to end the WAR so that there would never be one side of heaven against the other side of heaven ever again in eternity future. We will cover some of the physical evidence further on in this study.
But first, I want to cover a few more verses of Scripture that teach us of a great time of TROUBLE that WILL BE AGAIN that has ALREADY BEEN from of BEFORE the beginning of creation when God created MAN upon the earth.
Argument #12 for an OLD earth.
Mark 13:19 teaches us of a time of AFFLICTION such as was NOT since, from, or BEFORE the BEGINNING. Please read Mark 13:19 in the LIGHT and understanding of Ecclesiastes 3:15, what SHALL be has ALREADY BEEN.
Mark 13:19.
“For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from (Or BEFORE) the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.”
The translators did NOT translate two words that are in the original text. And thus, this verse of Scripture should be understood as follows.
A more correct translation of Mark 13:19.
“For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not TRULY of this sort SINCE the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.”
To say this another way, at a future time there shall be days of affliction that have never been in this TIME or in this PRESENT world such as of the sort of affliction that was BEFORE the beginning of the creation of this present world. And neither will there ever be again this sort of affliction.
Again, keep in mind Ecclesiastes 3:15.
In other words, those days of AFFLICTION which shall be in the future at the end of this present world, have ALREADY BEEN before God created MAN upon the earth.
To me, Jesus is clearly teaching us that a major judgment against Satan and the fallen angels took place BEFORE the beginning of the world that was restored for MAN to have dominion over.
And the LIKENESS of that first judgment before God created MAN upon the earth shall be again in the last days, but not TRULY as severe as it was SINCE or BEFORE the beginning of creation of the world, as in, this PRESENT world or age. And after the repeating of this great affliction that comes from the wrath of Satan at the end of this age, there will NEVER be any such an affliction ever again.
Now, Satan will be let loose after being bound for a 1000 years during the world to come, and he will deceive the nations one final time to wage a WAR against God’s people. But God will rain fire down from heaven to end that war just as soon as it begins.
That final deception by Satan to wage a war is the EVIDENCE that God will use to prove that what God creates, He creates perfect on the day He created it. And that is why God made man and the Son of MAN, Jesus, a little lower or inferior to the angels and then CROWNED His human Son to be His King, Lord, and God over the earth during the world to come.
For you see, God’s WITNESS or evidence of creating Lucifer perfect is an inferior creation of God obeying His will. And then, as our reward, we shall live and reign WITH Jesus for 1000 years having NO WARS during the world to come.
Now, my Bible cross references Mark 13:19 with Deuteronomy 4:32, which we have already covered under argument number ten. So then, God is imploring us to ASK Him about the DAYS before He created man upon the earth BECAUSE of that WAR where one side of heaven was AGAINST the other side of heaven.
This WAR can also be seen in Genesis 1:2 when it is correctly translated and interpreted in the light of the whole word of Almighty God. Please read the study called D-29. A FRESH NEW LOOK at GENESIS 1:1!
Argument #13 for an OLD earth.
Romans 1:18 teaches us that the WRATH of God is made known to us. And the context of Romans 1:18 says that the INVISIBLE things can be understood by the things that are MADE.
Romans 1:18-21.
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Romans 1:19. Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has shown it unto them.
Romans 1:20. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world (Or more correctly, therefore the invisible things of Him BEFORE the creation of the world) are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; (Or more precisely, BOTH that one and the eternal power of the Godhead) so that they are without excuse:
Romans 1:21. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”
When you understand that Satan, the fallen angel and the rebellious god or this present AGE, is BEHIND the wickedness and the INIQUITY that is in the world, then you will understand that MAN is born INNOCENT before God.
And thus, it is not until each individual person listens to and obeys the voice of the ENEMY, Satan, to sin, is their heart DARKENED and they fall short of the INTENDED glory that God has prepared for those who obey His voice to walk in righteousness.
Please read 2 Thessalonians 2:7-10.
“For the mystery of iniquity is already at work: only he who now hinders will hinder, until he is taken out of the way. (And Satan will not be cast out as the god of this present world until 1260 days before the coming of Jesus. The wrath of Satan will be during those 1260 days, according to Revelation 12:12-15.
And, at the coming of Jesus, Satan will be BOUND and cast into the bottomless pit for 1000 years, according to Revelation 20:1-7)
2 Thessalonians 2:8. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2 Thessalonians 2:9. Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2 Thessalonians 2:10. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received NOT the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”
All through the Bible, we see Almighty God desiring to SAVE mankind. And at the same time, we also see God’s ENEMY desiring to DESTROY mankind by DECEIVING man to REJECT God’s LOVE so they can be saved.
And thus, we see the only TRUTHFUL God and His ENEMY the LYING god of this present AGE. And we see that God has given all humans a CHOICE to choose which God that they will serve.
And from these things, we can UNDERSTAND that there are INVISIBLE things at work in the world by simply OBSERVING the things that are MADE.
We can see God’s “influence” encouraging us to do good and we can see Satan’s “influence” deceiving us to do evil. Evil in the Biblical sense in simply doing the opposite of what the TRUTHFUL God desires us to do and not to do.
This brings us to the PHYSICAL evidence on the earth, that to ME, proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that the earth is ANCIENT in age.
Argument #14 for an OLD earth.
I believe that the Bible itself teaches us that Yahweh CUT DOWN the inhabitants of the earth during a PREVIOUS AGE of the earth.
And God cut down the earth in three ways
#1. God cut down the one side of heaven and the earth by WAR using weapons of destruction such as we have today, including nuclear weapons. Those weapons are described in the Bible as fire and brimstone raining down from heaven.
#2. God cut down the earth by way of a worldwide FLOOD, which some Christians call the Luciferian FLOOD.
#3. God cut down the earth by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, the DIVIDING of the continents, followed by the ICE AGE, and then more flooding when God melted the ice to begin RESTORING the earth for His NEW creation of man to have dominion over the earth.
Keep in mind that there is no mention of the flood waters being FROZEN in the days of the Noah flood.
And I believe that Job 28:3-5 is just one of many passages of Scripture that speak of this FLOOD that flooded the entire earth BEFORE God restored the earth for the HUMAN race.
Job 28:3-5.
“He set an END to darkness, and (He) searches out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
Job 28:4. The flood breaks out from (Or because of) the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: (Or more correctly “translated”, even the FLOOD waters of the forgotten TIME) they are dried up, they are gone away from men. (Or more precisely, they are dried up and removed BECAUSE of men or BEFORE man, the mortal men God planned to create upon the earth to become His WITNESSES to END the DARKNESS and all evil for all eternity)
Job 28:5. As for the earth, out of it comes bread: and under it is turned up, (Or the core of the earth is CHANGED) as it were, fire.”
To me, verse 5 is teaching us about the everlasting FIRE that God PREPARED for Satan and the fallen angels, according to Matthew 25:41 and Revelation 20:10.
And, for other verses of Scripture teaching us of TWO FLOODS, please read the study called D-28. The PRE-ADAMIC LUCIFERIAN FLOOD!
Argument #15 for an OLD earth.
Hebrews 11:3 teaches us that the WORLDS in the plural were framed by the word of God.
Hebrews 11:3.
“Through faith we understand that the WORLDS were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
Again, the Scriptures say that the WORLDS in the plural WERE framed in the past tense. And that means there was no less than at least one other AGE before God restored the earth to be inhabited once again by His new species of beings called the HUMANS in Genesis 1:3-31.
And, according to Job 34:23,24 and many other verses of Scripture, those of us who overcome the enemy will REPLACE Lucifer and the fallen angels called the Elohim.
In other words, we will rule and reign WITH Jesus over the whole earth for 1000 years having NO WARS in order for God to JUDGE the world by the MAN whom He ORDAINED and raised from the dead, according to Acts 17:29-31 and 1 Corinthians 6:3.
Argument #16 for an OLD earth.
Job 34:23,24 teaches us that God never intended for MAN to enter into judgment with the ELOHIM, the fallen angels or the fallen gods who were once good gods that were set by Yahweh to become gods or mighty ones to rule and watch over different planets in the universe.
And thus, there are MANY gods and many lords who were made to become gods and lords under and subject to the ONE Creator God whom we call our heavenly Father. Please read the study called 1 Corinthians 8:6 To Us There is But ONE God, the FATHER!
Job 34:23,24.
“For He will not lay upon MAN more than right; that he should enter into judgment WITH God. (Or more correctly, that MAN should enter into judgment along with the ELOHIM, the fallen angels or the fallen gods. For you see, the Hebrew word “Elohim” also means the mighty ones that the Almighty SET as gods over the work of His hands.
And thus, this verse should be understood as God never intended HUMANS to enter into judgment with the gods, the Elohim who rebelled and made war against His throne)
Job 34:24. He shall break in pieces MIGHTY MEN without number, and SET OTHERS others in their STEAD.”
The Hebrew word translated as “mighty men” carries the meaning of AGED in TIME, the mighty in power. In other words, part of God’s plan of Salvation is to DESTROY Satan and the fallen angels in the lake of fire that was originally prepared only for the Devil and his angels, according to Matthew 25:41 and Revelation 20:10.
But in order for God to JUSTLY destroy Satan and the fallen angels, He must JUDGE them by His WITNESSES to clear His name being blasphemed by His enemies.
And thus, God is going to SET OTHERS, speaking of us, His good and faithful servants, in their place. The word “MEN” should have never been ADDED by the translators. This Hebrew word literally means many AGED mighty ones or the many mighty of the OLD AGE.
And when Jesus and us who overcome even as Jesus overcame rule over the whole earth for 1000 years in PEACE having no WARS, then that will PROVE to all of the angels that what God creates, He creates PERFECT and NOT with a sinful nature.
Argument #17 for an OLD earth.
The Bible uses many “ANALOGIES” of “physical” things that we understand to teach us God’s PLAN of Salvation.
And I believe God’s PLAN of Salvation was written in STONE as a WITNESS, according to Isaiah 19:19,20, before God created MAN upon the earth. All Christians are quite familiar with Jesus being referred to and the chief CORNERSTONE.
Please read Matthew 21:42.
“Jesus said unto them, Did you never read in the Scriptures, The STONE which the builders rejected, the same has become the HEAD of the CORNER: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?”
And the Great Pyramid of Giza in the land of Egypt is truly marvelous in our eyes. Many learned men have said that such a building could NOT be built by mankind even with the technology that we have today.
And the “physical” evidence supports the understanding that the Great Pyramid was NOT built by MAN.
Now, even more marvelous in our eyes is the LOVE of God to love us while we were yet sinners, according to Romans 5:5-11. The BUILDERS of the Great Pyramid of Giza did NOT lay a CORNERSTONE at the top of the Great Pyramid.
To me, the builders of the Great Pyramid were the angels who rejected the placing of the corner stone. In other words, I believe that the Great Pyramid was built during the previous age of the earth by the angels as an ALTAR to Yahweh the Creator and as a MEMORIAL to the future ruler over the earth.
And the fallen angels rejected the cornerstone. So, God said to the angels, let us make man on OUR image and after OUR likeness.
Hence, the TRIAL of JUDGMENT, who will God’s new creation of man OBEY?
Now, the GLORY for laying the chief CORNERSTONE goes to Yahweh the designer of the Great Pyramid, the ONLY WISE God who devised His PLAN of Salvation. And for all of the Scriptures as to why I believe that Almighty God DESIGNED the Great Pyramid and had His ANGELS build it as a STONE MEMORIAL and as a WITNESS, please read the study called D-37. The GREAT PYRAMID and the BIBLE!
But for now, here is a short 4 minute video showing that the Great Pyramid is a MODEL of the earth itself. So again, to me, Almighty God Yahweh is the DESIGNER of the Great Pyramid placed in the center of the land mass of the earth perfectly aligned with the true north.

Argument #18 for an OLD earth.
The following arguments for an OLD earth that is ANCIENT in years will be PHYSICAL evidence as well as the LACK of the TOOLS that LEFT that physical evidence. This physical evidence can be seen, examined, analyzed, and tested.
There are many massive huge stone structures on the earth that humans cannot reproduce with even the most modern technology that we have today. Each stone structure has different points that I want you to notice, so I will list them separately.
Here in argument number sixteen the physical evidence for the Elohim being the builders is the sheer WEIGHT and SIZE of the massive huge stones used in the foundation at Baalbek. There is no crane made today that can lift some of those massive huge stones, let alone transport them from the quarry over the rough terrain to the building site where they were laid. Please watch the video linked below.

Argument #19 for an OLD earth.
There is physical evidence of MACHINED TOOL marks that could have only been made by advanced technology even better than man’s modern stone cutting machinery. But yet no modern-type stone cutting tools have been found in the archaeological evidence.
It is these ABSENCES of lack of technological tools that these massive stone structures demand that the builders of these massive stone structures had to have. In other words, humans did NOT have stone cutting machines at the time historians CLAIM that the pyramids and other massive stone structures were supposedly built to LEAVE these machine tools marks. And thus, they were NOT human beings.
Also, the sheer number of statutes, stone bowls, stone vessels, and stone temples lead me to believe that most, if not all of these precision made stone objects were made BEFORE God created MAN upon the earth.
So, in my own opinion, God had His angels REMOVE all of the stone cutting technology and other MODERN technology from the earth. And WHY I say this is because PROPHECY tells us that this will happen in the world to come.
For you see, all of the weapons of war will be beaten into plowshares, according to the prophecy in Isaiah 2:4.
Please read Isaiah 2:4.
“And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”
And, according to Ezekiel 39:9.10, it will take seven years for all of the non metal weapons to be burned with fire to heat their home and to cook their meals.
Now, to me, it appears that in that DAY or during that AGE in the world to come, life for the mortals on the earth will return to the basic lifestyle of farming and family. Now, there might be some modern technology, but everything that is “bad” or morally wrong will be destroyed.
Here are some videos showing just some of the many tool marks just like or very similar to the tool marks made today by modern technology.

Argument #20 for an OLD earth.
Fossil records dating BEFORE the ICE AGE. The only mention of an ice age in the Bible is in connection with the FOUNDATION of the earth. In other words, there is NO MENTION of an ICE or frozen WATER during the FLOOD of Noah. Therefore, the FLOOD in Job chapter 38 is what some Christians call the Luciferian FLOOD that took place BEFORE God created MAN upon the earth.
Notice that the weapons God used during that day of WAR was snow, rain, hail, and ICE, according to Job 38:22-30. Again, keep in mind that Eccleciastes 1:9,10 and Ecclesiastes 3:15 teaches us that what happened BEFORE will happen AGAIN.
Here are some videos showing skeletons of EXTINCT animals such as the Wooly Mammoth. Several Wooly Mammoths were preserved frozen in the ice. And again, there was no ICE associated with the flood in the days of Noah.
Archaeologists Find Ice Age Mammoths Skeletons in Mexico
There are far too many skeletal remains of different types of dinosaurs to deny that they existed. And the immense size prohibits their being taken aboard the ark during the flood of Noah. And even if they were saved alive on the ark, where are they now, and what caused their extinction?
I personally believe that most of the different species of dinosaurs were destroyed during the Luciferian flood that FROZE, which was God’s wrath of judgment against the fallen angels and the previous inhabitants of the earth, according to Job 38:22-30.
To me, that passage of Scripture teaches us of an ICE AGE where the face of the flood waters were FROZEN like STONE. Here is a video of just some of the different species of dinosaurs.
Most AMAZING Fossil Discoveries Ever!
And under argument number twenty two, I will cover some of the physical evidence of the floods that resulted from the ICE AGE.
Argument #21 for an OLD earth.
God made MAN a little LOWER than the ANGELS, according to Psalm 8:2-6. But did you know that the Hebrew word that is “TRANSLATED” as the English word “angels” in the Hebrew word “ELOHIM”, which means God, and gods, the mighty ones?
Please read Psalm 8:2-6.
“Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have You ordained strength BECAUSE OF Your ENEMIES, that You might STILL the enemy and the avenger.
Psalm 8:3. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
Psalm 8:4. What is MAN, that You are mindful of him? And the Son of MAN, that You visit him?
Psalm 8:5. For You have made him a little lower than the angels, (Or more correctly, You have made him a little lower than the gods, the mighty ones) and have crowned him with glory and honor.
Psalm 8:6. You made him to have DOMINION over the works of Your hands; You have PUT all things under his feet:”
The two Hebrew words translated as a “little lower” can mean fewer in number than the number of the Elohim combined. In other words, it could mean that God ordained that the number of humans to be exalted or crowned with glory will be the same number as one third of the elohim that rebelled and made war against God’s throne.
Or those two Hebrew words can mean SMALLER in size. Now, I myself have never seen an angel, but those who have seen angels, many have described the angels as being 8 to 12 feet tall. And to me, that agrees with the sons of God mating with human women to bear GIANTS in the days of Noah, both before and after the FLOOD in the days of Noah.
Keep in mind Ecclesiastes 1:9,10 and Ecclesiastes 3:15, what has been in NOW and what shall be has ALREADY BEEN. And I personally believe that Lucifer CORRUPTED the genetics of the animals and possibly “PREHISTORIC” human LIKE beings to become GIANTS.
Satan corrupted humans during the days before Noah and again after the days of the flood. And since Ecclesiates 3:15 teaches us that what is now has already been, it is not a stretch to say that Lucifer did the same things in a previous age BEFORE God created Adam and Eve. And MAN being made a little SMALLER in size to the Elohim reminded me of the Cromagdom man, and the Neanderthal man where both were larger in size than humans are today.
Now, some Christians ASSUME that every angel was created at the same exact time as full grown angelic beings. And some Christians also ASSUME that every angel was created as an immortal being.
But what if those “assumptions” are WRONG? Jesus said that we are like the angels concerning only the matter of not marrying in heaven. Both Matthew 22:30 and Mark 12:25 use the Greek word “hos”, which means “in THAT MANNER”.
Neither Matthew nor Mark specifically mentions that those in the resurrection shall not die anymore. But yet, we know from other passages of Scripture that we who are resurrected in the first resurrection at the coming of Jesus will be given eternal life.
My point is that not every detail about the angels is not in that one passage of Scripture. And thus, one must read into the words of Jesus that God created the angels as adult angels and they never married and procreated during previous ages before God created Adam and Eve.
And thus, the fact that the angels are NOT allowed to marry and that they do not die ANYMORE does NOT dogmatically mean that the angels were never mortal nor never procreated after their kind.
Clearly, humans marry and procreate in this present world. But those found to be worthy of the world to come will no longer marry and procreate because we will be given eternal life. And thus, being LIKE the angels make more sense that at one point and time, the angels ALSO married and had children after their kind.
Now IF the angels never procreated after their kind, as some Christians CLAIM, then WHY did God give the angels the ability to procreate with the human women in Genesis chapter 6? Clearly, the son of God SINNED by taking WIVES and bearing CHILDREN, according to Genesis 6:2-4. And God gave them that ability just so that they could sin, then God is to be blamed for the fallen angels marring human wives.
But to me, that is NOT what happened. For you see, the Greek word translated as the “KEPT” not their FIRST ESTATE in Jude 1:9 literally means that the fallen angels “GUARDED” not their FIRST ESTATE. In other words, the fallen angels did NOT “PREVENT” their FIRST ESTATE or their CHIEF estate by RESTRAINING themself to NOT have sex with human women.
Evidently, or obviously, SOME of the angels were ANOINTED or SET by Almighty God to become HIGH ONES or mighty ones called the Elohim. Remember, according to Ezekiel 28:12-15 and Isaiah 14:12-15, God SET Lucifer on a throne as His anointed Cherub.
And, to me, it was AFTER God SET or anoint some of His angels to become THOSE CHIEF princes, was WHEN they were commanded to no longer marry as they did in the BEGINNING or during their BEGINNING ESTATE. You see, the Hebrew word translated as “first” ALSO means CHIEF estate.
Again, WHY would God even create the angels with sexual organs to bear children IF they were NEVER given in marriage at their BEGINNING?
Clearly, Ezekiel 28:14-19 teaches us that God SET His ANOINTED Cherub on a THRONE, which he abused to make himself rich by oppressing the ANCIENT people that God SET him over to protect.
Argument #22 for an OLD earth.
The physical evidence of many localized FLOODS as a result of the MELTING of the ICE AGE and then the DRYING of the land is evidence for an OLD earth. And what scientist, archaeologist and geologist have discovered concerning the ice age and the melting ice causing floods is pretty much what is described in Genesis chapter 1 over a five to six thousand year period of time.
For you see, Genesis chapter 1 must be “INTERPRETED” and there is more than just ONE way to “interpret” Genesis chapter 1. And many Christians interpret the seven DAYS as seven THOUSAND years or each DAY as 1000 years. In other words, God will FINISH His creation during the SEVEN 1000 year-long day called the world to come by Jesus in Luke 18:30.
Here is a video that gives us a visual realization of the melting ICE AGE. The physical evidence left by the ice age floods is undeniable. Again, there is no mention of any ICE or frozen water during the flood of Noah.
Catastrophe and Cartography - Ice Age Floods Visualized.
My point is that there is NO Biblical evidence of an “ice-age” AFTER God created MAN upon the earth around 6,000 years ago. In other words, there is NO MENTION of any ICE during the NOAH FLOOD or any other time from Adam to Jesus.
And thus, the FLOOD in Job chapter 38 took place at the FOUNDATION of the earth and it is the only flood that was FROZEN like stone. The Hebrew word translated as foundation of the earth in Isaiah 48:13 means to sit down together, to settle, to consult, to appoint, to ordain, and to establish. And thus, God sat down together with the Elohim that He Himself SET to become gods under Him for the purpose of settling the WAR. And God said to the Elohim, His angels, let us mak man in our image and after our likeness.
And I will TEST man to see if a creation of Mine made a little lower than you angels will obey me. And if an inferior creation of mine obeys Me, then you all will know that I did NOT create you fallen angels flawed.
For all of the Scripture showing the sound Biblical meaning of the “foundation of the world” please read the study called What Does the FOUNDATION of the World Mean?
Argument #23 for an OLD earth.
Genesis 2:4.
“These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the DAY that the LORD God MADE the earth and the heavens,”
There is a lot of “meat” in this one verse of Scripture. In other words, to understand the true God intended meaning, then you need to be weaned from the “milk” of God’s word.
The Hebrew translated as the “generations” of the HEAVENS and of the earth is the Hebrew word “H8435 toledah”. This Hebrew word means the history of the lineage or the descent of the heavens and the earth. But there is another Hebrew word that is also translated as the English word “GENERATIONS”, which means an AGE. We will look at that Hebrew word in a moment to tie everything together.
But for now, let us focus on some of the meanings of some other words in Genesis 2:4. There is a DIFFERENCE between God CREATED and God MADE. They are similar but they should never be forced to dogmatically mean the same exact thing.
In other words, there was a day in the eternity past when God CREATED the earth for the first time where the earth never existed before God created the earth. And then, there was another DAY when God CUT DOWN the heavens and the earth. And then there was yet another DAY after God cut down the earth when God MADE the earth and the heavens in the reverse order. To say this another way, God is restoring the earth first and then God will restore the heavens.
The Hebrew word translated as “MADE” also means DRESSED the earth, READIED the earth, and BRUISED the earth. This word also means to REQUITE the earth and the heavens. And the English word “requite” means to AVENGE or to pay something that is worthy to be paid, whether the payment is good or bad.
And again, the word DAY also means an AGE. And thus, the seven DAYS are speaking of seven AGES and not literal 24 HOUR days as some Christians dogmatically claim.
Now let us look at the other Hebrew word that is translated as “GENERATIONS”
Here is how the concordance in E-Sword defines this Hebrew word translated as “generations”.
H1755
ֹּדר ּדֹור
dôr dôr
dore, dore
From H1752; properly a revolution of time, that is, an age or generation; also a dwelling: - age, X evermore, generation, [n-]ever, posterity.
Total KJV occurrences: 167.
Now, there are several passages of Scripture where this Hebrew word is found TWICE right in a row together in the original text, but the translators only translated one of those words used TWICE in a row.
Let us take a closer look at one of those passages of Scripture that is found in Psalm 90;1-9. I will go ahead and translate the SECOND Hebrew word as generations and then give the literal word for word translation in parentheses.
Psalm 90:1-9.
“A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations, generations. (A prayer of Moses. The existing of the ELOHIM, you have been their dwelling place AGE to AGE. The Hebrew word translated as MAN means “extant”. And something that is extant means that it existed before and it continues to exist)
Psalm 90:2. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had FORMED the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. (Or before the mountains birthed or erupted or ever you GRIEVED the earth AND the inhabitants, even from an AGE to an AGE)
Psalm 90:3. You turned MAN (Or You turned those extant, those existing before) to destruction; and said, Return, you children of men. (Or God prophesied, I will build again children of ADAM. The Hebrew word for MAN in verse 1 is a contraction of the Hebrew word for MAN in the phrase “You turned MAN” in verse 2)
Psalm 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, one 24 hour day to man is as a THOUSAND years to God and a 1000 years God is as one 24 hour day to God. To say this another way, a DAY to God is the same as 1000 years to us.
So again, we see that God INTENDS us to understand the FOUNDATION of the earth AND the FOUNDATION of the world as taking six THOUSAND years. Please read the study Q-5. What is the Foundation of the World?)
Psalm 90:5. You carried them away as with a FLOOD; they are as sleep: (Or they are dead) in the morning they are like grass which grows up. (Or in the morning WE, the ADAM, or the humans are like the grass, as in, God used the DNA of the PREVIOUS “extant” human-LIKE beings of a previous AGE of the earth that He DESTROYED with a FLOOD)
Psalm 90:6. In the morning it flourishes, and grows up; in the evening it is cut down, and
withers. (Here we see God explaining the EVENING and the MORNING of the sis days in Genesis chapter 1)
Psalm 90:7. For we (Or more correctly THEY) are consumed by Your anger, and by Your wrath are we troubled. (There are several passages of Scriptures that speak of TWO FLOODS and that humans are afraid because of the FLOODS in the plural. Please read the study called D-28. The PRE-ADAMIC LUCIFERIAN FLOOD!)
Psalm 90:8. You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your countenance.
Psalm 90:9. For all our days are passed away in Your wrath: (Or more correctly, THEIR days in the previous age are passed away in Yahweh’s wrath) we spend our years as a tale that is told.”
In other words, our days will be as Yahweh prophesied in the Scriptures. Those who CHOOSE LIVE will live and those who do NOT BELIEVE in the NAME of the only begotten Son of God will remain DEAD in their sins BECAUSE they do NOT BELIEVE, according to John 3:16-18.
Argument #24 for an OLD earth.
Satan is called that OLD dragon and the OLD serpent because he is of OLD in ANCIENT times of a previous AGE before God created MAN upon the earth. And that anointed Cherub became God’s ENEMY in ANCIENT times by corrupting himself and waging a WAR against God’s throne.
Please read Isaiah 51:9,10.
“Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ANCIENT days, in the generations of old. (Or in the AGE of OLD) Are You not it (Or are you not He) that has cut Rahab, (Which means insolent pride) and wounded the DRAGON?
Isaiah 51:10. Are You not it (Or are you not He) which has dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that has made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?”
Here in verse 10, we see a description of Yahweh who dried up the flood waters of a previous AGE of OLD that made a WAY for us who are ransomed to take over the ruling of the earth during the world to come.
Argument #25 for an OLD earth.
Yahweh FIXED the earth. Many Christians believe that Genesis 1:3-31 is an account of God RESTORING the earth. And there are several verses of Scripture that AGREE with the interpretation that God RESTORED the earth after He Himself CUT DOWN in order to still His enemies that waged a WAR against His throne.
Please read Psalm 119:90.
“Your faithfulness is unto all generations: (Or Your faithfulness is from an AGE to an AGE) You have established the earth, (Or You have FIXED the earth) and it abides”
In other words, Your faithfulness unto a previous age moved to the next AGE, You FIXED or restored the earth and it REMAINS.
Argument #26 for an OLD earth.
There are a lot of “parallels” in the Scriptures that secretly tell us of the previous AGE and judgment of Lucifer, which was put on HOLD.
In other words, God gives us details here and there throughout the Scriptures in the meaning of words and the names of people and places. Please consider the following passage of Scripture. It parallels Satan falsely blaming God for creating him flawed as being the reason for Satan waging a war against God.
As you read the following passage of Scripture keep in your mind one third of the angels who JOINED themselves to follow Lucifer.
Psalm 106:28-31.
“They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. (Symbolically speaking of one third of the angels joining themselves to the side of Lucifer to provoke Yahweh. What has been in now and what shall be has already been, according to Ecclesiastes 1:9,10 and Ecclesiates 3:15)
Psalm 106:29. Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague broke in upon them. (Symbolically speaking of the judgment of Yahweh against the fallen angels during the previous age in the GAP between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 when the earth became without form and void)
Psalm 106:30. Then stood up Phinehas, (Which means the mouth of the SERPENT) and executed judgment: (Or made an entreaty or intercession) and so the plague was stayed. (Or the plague of judgment was put on HOLD)
Psalm 106:31. And that was COUNTED (Or considered) unto him for righteousness unto all generations(Or from an AGE into and AGE) for evermore.”
In other words, the intercession made to Yahweh out of the mouth of the SERPENT was considered or counted by Yahweh to be accepted for a TIME. And the time was from that old age in ancient times to another age UNTIL the time of that age coming to an end.
Argument #27 for an OLD earth.
The evidence of a WAR on the moon, on the earth, and on other planets in our solar system. Now, science claims that the craters on the earth, the moon, and the other planets were caused by meteors, comets and asteroids impacting the planets and the moon. And that all sounds plausible with the exception of the moon.
For you see, all of the craters are direct hits like a “bomb” would make. The earth is like a SHIELD for the moon. And thus, any space debris would have to curve around the earth to hit the moon. And to me, that would make the craters elongated and even trench like impacts and not straight down round craters like we see.
The whole earth only sees the ONE side of the moon that always faces the earth. So, to me, the craters are more like BOMB impacts from a WAR between the angels.
Also, some believe that a planet or perhaps a moon of another planet was destroyed to form the asteroid belt. And it may well be that a planet or a moon was indeed destroyed by an intergalactic WAR between the angels. To me, it is not likely that God created DEBRIS to orbit around the sun.
I believe that Satan realized he was losing the war and he retreated as a FUGITIVE to the earth, which was once his throne given to him by Yahweh. But his pride and greed corrupted him to wage a war against God’s throne. Please read all of the studies under the heading called >>>Q-0. WHY are we HERE?-Is God at WAR?<<<
But for now, here are some videos showing the evidence of a space war or an intergalactic war in outer space.

Argument #28 for an OLD earth.
Ancient artifacts showing objects that we call UFOs.
Nassim Haramein investigates Alien Artifacts
Ancient Aliens Artifacts & Mayans with Nassim Haramein - UFO coming out of the SUN!
The Bible teaches us of OTHER creations of God and the existence of these other creatures called the angels on other planets. In other words, the Bible speaks about the sides of the north as the location of the city of God and that promotion does not come from the south, the east, or the west. And to me, this speaks of God promoting His angels or His MESSENGERS to different positions of power and authority in the many different constellations.
We all agree that the Bible teaches us about FALLEN angels or the angels that SINNED. And mere common sense teaches us that the angels sinned and waged a war against God’s throne long before God created man upon the earth to STILL His enemy. The CHARIOTS of God or what the world calls UFOs are many.
On one of the artifacts in the videos above there is a ufo pushing an object like a comet out of the way of a planet to protect the planet from an impact. And that reminded me of a video that I saw of a comet exploding just before it impacted the earth in Russia. I paused the video several times and saw a UFO enter the tail of the comet. And just before it exploded, I saw a beam of light inside the tail of the comet. In my spirit I understood that an angel of Yahweh was piloting that UFO to destroy that comet before it impacted the earth.
My point is that it is highly egotistical for any Christian to think that mankind is the highest creation and God created man before He created the angels and gave them charge to protect us.
Argument #29 for an OLD earth.
The main argument AGAINST and OLD earth that is ANCIENT in years is based upon so-called NEW SCIENCE. Now, I can see new KNOWLEDGE that is revealed to us can change what we used to believe.
And thus, the “science” of the origin of LIFE in the Universe is not exempt from NEW knowledge being revealed to the scientists who have devoted their whole lives to trying to prove their theory of the origin of the Universe, which is that it formed as a result of a “BIG BANG” billions of years ago.
Now, while this “new” science has scientists scrambling to try and salvage their so-called “Big Bang” theory, some young earth creationist Christians have ERRED by using or ABUSING this new science to try to prove that God created the entire Universe in 144 HOURS.
All that this new evidence proves is that God CREATED the Universe and it did not come into existence by a so-called “BIG BANG” explosion. The new science does not prove that the entire Universe was created in an instant of time. And it does not prove that the earth and the entire universe was created just 6,000 years ago. Please read the studies called D-31. Arguments AGAINST the GAP THEORY!, and D-33. WAS the Earth CREATED in SIX 24 HOUR DAYS?
Argument #30 for an OLD earth.
Even though I have many more arguments FOR an OLD earth that is ANCIENT in years, I will end this particular study with this argument.
BOTH the evolution “Big Bang” theory AND the man-made “interpretation” that God created everything that exists in 144 HOURS or in six 24 HOUR days are two EXTREME views of the origin of life.
In my own opinion, both of the above views are EXTREME beliefs that do not agree with EITHER science or the Bible. Let me explain what I mean by this.
Some scientists are now saying that 4.5 billion years is NOT a long enough time for evolution to be plausible. Some scientists understand the MATH and that it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE for life to have evolved WITHOUT INTELLIGENT DESIGN.
And ALL Christians KNOW WHO the intelligent designer and creator of all life is.
The PROBLEM is that SOME Christians make it HARDER for the atheists to believe that our God created everything that exists. In other words, young earth Christians have OVER exalted God to have it appear as if God created the entire Universe in an extremely SHORT amount of time by speaking His word and in six 24 HOUR days His work of creating was finished.
But in TRUTH, God is STILL WORKING on
FINISHING His creation of MAN in His own image some SIX THOUSAND years later. And MAN is only ONE of God’s creations.
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, 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? <<<
More studies are coming in this SHORTER Biblical Unitarian view of who Jesus is according to the WHOLE word of God. If you have a PARTICULAR verse of Scripture that you would like to know the sound Biblical Unitarian meaning, then please email me at MarkatAMatterOfTruth@Gmail.com and let me know.

Thanks again 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.
