Peter's three heaven and earth ages:

Isn't it amazing that God's Word has the answers to so many intriguing questions
concerning such things as the identity of UFO's,
the whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant,
the existence of lost cities such as Atlantis, the extinction of the dinosaurs, etc.?

We are constantly told by the "main stream" media and the "higher critics"
that the Bible is old fashioned and out of date,
but it is they who show their ignorance and remain confused by rejecting Him.

Here is what Peter has to say about the scoffers and mockers of the last days,
in A.D. 2007, who walk according their own lustful desires.

First heaven and first earth

2 Peter 3:5-7
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the Word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
This was of old, in the beginning, before Adam, before the flood of Noah.

Those who don't believe it are willingly ignorant, according to Peter!

[6] Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
And the earth became without form, and void, "tohu va bohu".
It perished!

(The Greek word for perish is apollumi, to destroy fully)!

And darkness was upon the face of the deep (water). The earth was overflowed with water and it perished!

But isn't this passage talking about the flood of Noah?

No, it is not.

The flood of Noah belongs to the next verse,
the heaven and earth age which are NOW, the age of flesh man.

Noah's flood occurred about 2348 B.C.

Second heaven and second earth


2 Peter 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
And there will yet be another heaven and earth age, the third and final one.
Third heaven and third earth


2 Peter 3:13
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
So Peter declares that there are three heaven and earth ages:
1) The world that then was, which perished, Verse 5
2) the heaven and earth which is now, Verse 7 and
3) the new heaven and new earth age to come. Verse 13

The earth created in the beginning (Gen 1:1), perished (Gen 1:2).

In the previous lessons we spent a great deal of time documenting
and establishing the fact that the beautiful heaven and earth age "that then was",
that which was created in the beginning (Gen 1:1), perished (Gen 1:2).

Our Father destroyed it when He overthrew Satan at his rebellion
and reduced it to the state of "tohu va bohu", utterly void and desolate.

The physical (Scientific) evidence of this destruction is overwhelming,
the spiritual (Biblical) evidence is conclusive.

There is no conflict between true science and God's Word.

There never was and there never will be!

This foundational knowledge is essential to the true understanding of the entirety of God's Word.

It is one of the main reasons that many who claim to be instructors and teachers of the Bible
struggle to explain what should be simple verses and simple passages.

For if you don't understand what happened in the beginning,
if you start out with a "mental declination" and are off track just 80 km before you begin,
by the time you should have reached your destination of understanding,
you will have passed by the major benchmarks of truth
and be totally "lost" in the land of confusion, which is the state of Babylon.

The creation, then, which begins in Genesis 1 vs. 3,
is the creation of the earth age which is now, the former having passed away.

Our Father will once again prepare an habitable place for His children,
only this time each child will "pass through" this earth age, in a flesh body,
entering in from the womb of woman, and born innocent
(which means they will have no prior knowledge of what happened in the "world that was",
i.e. their "hard disk" or "hard head", whichever you prefer,
will be newly formatted and contain no data.)

They can then have an opportunity to make up their own minds
as to who they will follow, the "light" or the "darkness".

It is documented in the New Testament, by the apostle Paul, that we should all die, and therefore live, in the flesh (only one time, of course) :

Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
We will soon discover in this great Book of Genesis,
written by Moses the prophet and lawgiver,
that some of God's sons disobeyed this decree, and boy are they in trouble!
What a fascinating story that is, for their actions caused the flood of Noah

Just some writings on Genesis that were in alignment with my understandings of the book from my studies.

Cool. I'm sure about the accuracy of this explanation of the three earth ages, this explanation is close enough for any point we will ever have to make! It is much like in the scientific community when they discovered that Emc2 is not the absolute we all thought it was. The end thought on the subject is pretty much, it's close enought to absolute for anything we will need to ever do with matter!
