Chapter 3.8
Satan’s Flood
Lucifer’s
Flood – The Gap Theory
The
Other Flood before Noah
First
Word
The
Book of Genesis is the SEED/PLOT of the whole
Bible; the roots of every Great Doctrine.
What does the Bible say and what does the Bible NOT say?
How can you make the JUMP “in the gap” if the Bible didn’t say it? This
Word study is certainly going to mess with your personal BS; your
Belief System, your worldview. I embraced “The flood before Adam” about 30
years ago and while most pastors knew about it, they certainly did not teach
it. It was only recently in Adult Bible
Study, in a PCA Presbyterian Church, that I heard about the two floods from a
Professor at Columbia International University (CIU). He recommended the book “The Invisible War” by Donald
Grey Barnhouse, and to back the theory up I recommend “Dake’s Annotated Reference Bible”
for a cornucopia of supporting scripture.
The light of God comes to man
progressively and God rewards those who diligently seek Him.
There are no new
revelations; just more enlightenment.[1]
“The PEARL of great value” is just waiting there
to be meticulously uncovered.[2]
First earth age Endless
Ages before
Somewhere in the dateless past
God made stars before “TIME” as we know it
began. The stars sang as the earth was
created.[3] Before anything else was, there was God and
it was his great pleasure to make things.
Like a carpenter building a table and sitting back and looking at it and
admiring it because he made it. “IT WAS GOOD” and what a piece of work! That’s how He feels about Man.[4]
In the beginning God created all things
that are in heaven and in earth, both visible and invisible. For His own pleasure He established and created
areas of dominions principalities, and powers.[5] BUT; God did NOT make the earth “tohu;” topsy
turvey, void, waste, desolate, empty, wreck or ruin.
The RSV says; “He did not make the earth in Chaos”. But something dreadful did happen between
verse one and verse two of Genius; it became void; WATER
FLOODED THE EARTH. There are other
scriptures that fill in is the GAP between verse
one and verse two of Genesis.
Genesis 1:1 – The First Earth Age was created
good
1 In the
beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis 1:2 – The earth became without
form and was void
2 The earth was BECAME
WITHOUT FORM, AND VOID;
and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was
hovering over the face of the waters. (NKJV)
Isaiah 45:18 – God did not create the earth VOID
18 For thus says
the LORD that created the heavens; God himself
that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it,
HE CREATED IT NOT IN VAIN, (IT WAS GOOD) he formed it to
be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is
none else.
Pre-Adamic Population
God
created angels before creating the earth and the angel Lucifer was put
in charge. The earth was inhabited by “immortal”
beings, eons before Adam was ever created.
Lucifer rebelled and the corrupted earth came under the judgment of
darkness and a flood. This fallen state
and judgment occurred long before the time of the Garden of Eden. There was no law of “If you sinned you would
die”. Those whose bodies perished in
this first universal flood became the “immortal” demons that would plague the second earth age that we live in
today.
Instead of footnotes, I will print these
scriptures out for you so you can see what God says.
Job 38:6-7 – Angels & heavenly beings created
before the earth
6 On what were
its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone-
7 while the MORNING STARS sang together and all the ANGELS shouted for joy? NIV
Isaiah 45:18 God formed the world to be inhabited
18 For this is
what the LORD says-- he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned
and made the earth, he founded it;
HE DID NOT CREATE IT TO BE EMPTY,
BUT FORMED IT TO BE INHABITED NIV
Isaiah 14:12 – There were nations in the first
earth age
12 How you have
fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been
cast down to the earth,
YOU WHO ONCE LAID LOW THE NATIONS! NIV
Ezekiel 28:14-16 The Angel Satan was in charge of
the TRADING.
14 You were
anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy
mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones.
15 You were
blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found
in you.
16 THROUGH YOUR WIDESPREAD TRADE
YOU WERE FILLED WITH VIOLENCE, and you
sinned. NIV
Jeremiah 4:23-26 – The people perished in the
first earth age flood
23 I LOOKED AT THE EARTH, AND IT WAS FORMLESS AND EMPTY; and at the
heavens, and their light was gone. I looked at the mountains,
24 and they were
quaking; all the hills were swaying. I looked, and
25 THERE WERE NO PEOPLE; every bird in
the sky had flown away.
26 I looked, and
THE FRUITFUL LAND WAS A DESERT; all its towns
lay in ruins before the LORD, before His fierce anger. NIV
2 Peter 3:5-7 – Ungodly men existed before Adam
5 But they
deliberately forget that
LONG AGO BY GOD'S WORD THE HEAVENS EXISTED AND THE
EARTH WAS FORMED OUT OF WATER
6 BY THESE WATERS ALSO THE WORLD OF THAT TIME
WAS DELUGED AND DESTROYED.
7 By the same
word the
PRESENT HEAVENS AND EARTH
ARE RESERVED FOR FIRE, being kept for
the Day of Judgment and destruction of ungodly men. NIV
THE
Now
this is “fixin” to get deep here, but just hang in there a minute. In the beginning God created the heavens and
the earth. (Gen 1:1) This ends the account of the first earth age
creation. Later we will get to the second earth age creation as recorded in Gen
1:3.
NOTE: In verse two the Lucifer Flood had already
happened; “and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters, some translations say “brooding over
the waters” (pondering)
Hayah; all other 67 translations of the Hebrew
word “hayah” was translated “became” not “was”. So you can say the
earth became without form and void. The
translator’s literally did not understand how the earth “became” void, so they
substituted it with the word “was”.
Jeremiah the
prophet recorded that the earth became formless and
this did not happen during the flood of Noah. The
Apostle Peter said the “earth of old” overflowed with water.
With Satan’s rebellion, God withdrew Himself from the world. This released all restraints of nature and
plunged the world into the judgment of DARKNESS. Water
came from everywhere and flooded the earth.
We believe this to be for thousands upon thousands of years which would
account for the age of some fossils that have been found and carbon dated with
that age.
It is believed that this flood completely destroyed everything and this
made the world without form and void. If
we use Genesis as a concept of God; that everything He made was good; then we can pre-suppose that the
earth was created good and because
of rebellion and sin, it became void.
THE JUMP: This is where you make the jump in the gap
between what is said and what is NOT said, and you
do this with other scripture.
Genesis 1:2 – The earth became without form and
void
2 And the earth
was (“hayah” became) 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.
2 Peter 3:5-6 – The world that was then
overflowed with water
5 … the heavens
were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then
was, being overflowed with water, perished:
Why the pre-Adamic flood
Just to stay on point
with this study, I will not cover why God flooded the earth, except to say that
Satan, the fallen Angels and all corrupt the beings caused it.[6] Satan is given eons of time to restore the
earth, but he could not. He cannot create anything, but can only
counterfeit and copy.
Let us reason together[7]
Did God create
the world Void and a waste land?[8]
Does God create
evil as well as good?[9]
Can both fresh
water and salt water come from the same spring?[10]
The Good man
brings forth Good things that are stored up in him, how much more will God[11].
God’s ways are
perfect and flawless.[12]
Everything God
created; He said, that “It was GOOD”.[13]
Darkness -
Judgment
Every
time the sky is darkened, it is a sign of God’s judgment; EVERY TIME… and that is what is being reported to have
already happened in Genesis 1:2. The First Earth
Age was still under God’s
judgment and Satan could not fix it, so God starts over with the creation of
the Second
Earth Age which is what is being
reported in Genesis 1:3. (The final Third Earth Age is when Jesus returns.)
Did you see it; all
creation is WITNESS to Satan’s Free Will actions and re-actions. God in His great mercy and grace has given
eons of time for Satan to repent; but he does not and now his fate is sealed,
he is doomed to the Lake of Fire for eternity.
His only strategy and hope is to delay the inevitable. When the Battle of Armageddon
is over, there will never be another rebellion in heaven and only those
that love the lord with their own Free Will, will be there.
Genesis 1:2 – DARKNESS was over the surface of the deep

23 I looked at
the earth, and it was formless and empty; and at the heavens, and their light was
gone.

he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red,

in the sky fell to earth,
NIV
Revelation 8:12 – Judgment – Sun, moon and stars
turned dark
12 The fourth
angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the
moon, and a third of the stars, so that
a third of them turned dark. A third of the
day was without light, and also a third of the night.
NIV

the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky
were darkened by the smoke from the
Abyss.

will enter the ark--you and your sons and your wife
and your sons' wives with you. NIV
The
Two Floods Comparison
The Second Creation Begins
Time
Time did not begin
till the second earth age which is the age we live in now and Time will end at
the end of this age; Time will end. Ponder
that! We are living in a blip, a point between
eternity past and eternity forever.
The Bible speaks of a six day creation, but it could just as easily have
taken 6000 years; it actually doesn’t make any difference. One day with the Lord is like a thousand
years. We are taught as students of the
Bible to;
FIRST; take the precepts as literal, simple and
straight forward;
SECOND take it figuratively;
THIRD parabolic as an instructional parable.
I take the 6 day creation as 6 literal days, but I could just as easy
embrace 6000 years, however, I would have to literally live 7000 years to enjoy
the rest on the Sabbath. Oddly enough,
it has been about 6000 years since the “second”
creation with only 1000 years remaining for the millennial reign of Christ
to take place. (Resting on the 7th day) SO
2 Peter 3:8 – One day is like a thousand years to
God
8 But, beloved,
be not ignorant of this one thing, that
ONE DAY IS WITH THE LORD AS A THOUSAND YEARS,
AND A THOUSAND YEARS AS ONE DAY.
Psalms 90:4 – A thousand years is only yesterday.
4 For a thousand
years in thy sight are but as yesterday when
it is past, and as a watch in the night.
God brings forth – The re-construction
In the second earth age creation
which was mainly “reconstructive”, there were some things that were NOT created, but were already in existence.
NOTE: The word
“CREATE” is used only
in the first verse of Genesis and is not used again till the creation of
life. There is no scripture that says
God founded the earth in the waters, therefore the DRY land was already created
and appeared when the waters were gathered together.
God brought forth; seas, dry land, grass, herbs and fruit trees.
Genesis 1:9-11 – The waters and land were already
there
9 And God said
let the WATERS under the
heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it
was so.
10 God called
the DRY
11 And God said,
let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose
seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. KJV
God creates the heavens
God
now creates the Heaven, Sun, Moon,
and Stars
Genesis 1:7-18 – God creates the heavens
7 And God made
the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the
waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called
the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
16 And God made
two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to
rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set
them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule
over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and
God saw that it was good. KJV
God creates living things
God creates sea creatures,
birds, beasts, insects and man. There are three spears of creation; (1) Matter – (2) Natural life and (3) Spiritual
life; man.
Genesis 1:21-27 God creates living things.
21 God created
great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought
forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: God
saw that it was good.
24 And God said,
Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and
creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
27 So God
created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and
female created he them. KJV
God said Replenish
Now
God has made Man and told him to “replenish”
the earth, or “re-populate” it
again. He told Noah the same thing after
his flood. To replenish or repopulate
must mean there was a populace before this one begin.
Genesis 1:26-28 –
27 So God
created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and
female He created them.
28 Then God
blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and REPLENISH the earth and subdue it. KJV
Genesis 9:1 – NOAH -After
the 2nd Earth age flood of Noah
9:1 And God
blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and REPLENISH the earth. KJV
The Take Away
Did
your BS Change; your Belief System, your worldview. Embracing or rejecting the Gap Theory does
not affect your salvation, it only helps explain the story of Satan’s rebellion
and man’s fight in the inviable war over souls.
The words “In the beginning” does not
refer to the 6 day creation, but refers to a time before this re-creation
began; the earth then was called “dry land”.
So in the beginning God created the heavens and the dry land.
Satan had corrupted the inhabitants of the
first earth age and made them vile,
wicked and evil and at some point in eternity past there was a JUDGMENT of darkness and waters flooded the entire
dry land. Did you see it? The earth had become without form and was
void.
Un-repentant Satan was given eons of time
to re-construct the earth, but could not.
God started over and created man; made lower than the angels; and gave
him dominion over earth. Satan having
lost his dominion to a man made lower than him and one made out of dirt at
that, struck back at God by corrupting
Today man is still vile, wicked and evil,
God is sending another Ark; the
Rapture,
Get Ready.
