"In Genesis Chapter 1, we see a world in which all was created from an original state of being engulfed in water, very hard to believe there was not any rain there once the Sun was created on Day 4, and it’s rays upon all those waters of the deep began the evaporation process! Yet the Creation account of “THE LORD GOD” in Genesis chapter 2 we see a world in Which there had not been any rain at all yet, in which relied on DEW to go up from the ground. Hmmm.
So, who else has the power of Creation? Where else do we see “ANOTHER” Heaven, and “ANOTHER” Earth? "
We see such in the book of Revelation, for in chapter 21, The Prophet John Notes that that the state of the world at that time was such, that THERE WAS NO MORE SEA! Hmmm, a WORLD With no sea, would be a world with NO RAIN! And JOHN Witnesses “ANOTHER HEAVEN” and “ANOTHER EARTH”, both NEW, as the former pass away, and we see in the first 6 or 7 verses of Revelation chapter 21, John notes that GOD, is not on the Throne, but another. GOD in That time will DWELL WITH MEN, wiping away all tears, but it is “THE ALPHA AND OMEGA”, a title given CHRIST Himself who sits upon that throne, and when he arrives on his throne, with the New Jerusalem, he makes a proclamation, a PROPHECY…”BEHOLD, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW!”
WOW! When all this over, you know what is going to happen? WE ARE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN!!
Now I would say, that is the words of one with the power to create life! And while he is the Son of God, he also states in those first verses of Revelation 21, as John, who stands in that vision as the one who overcame, who made it “TO THE END” to witness Heaven and Earth pass away, and the NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH come into existence, “CHRIST” the “ALPHA AND OMEGE” who has been given his throne, an everlasting kingdom, who was the Son of God, now declares a new role for himself in Revelation 21:
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
WOW! In that World, in that NEW HEAVEN and NEW EARTH, Christ is going to become “GOD” to somebody, and somebody else, “HE THAT OVERCOMETH” will become, THE SON OF GOD!
Now there is a TRUTH that will shake some foundations!!!
A singular person, with the POWER to create life, to make ALL THINGS NEW, in the person of the ALPHA AND OMEGA, CHRIST,
Who has himself another title as well, one very similar to that of the one doing the creating in Genesis chapter 2.
The Title Christ carries in Revelation 22, is a singular title, “THE LORD GOD.”
This Creation of THE LORD GOD, in Genesis chapter 1 is much like that of the ALPHA AND OMEGA of Revelation chapter 21, as it comes in a SINGLE DAY!
“THE WORLD WAS NOT CREATED IN A DAY??? OR WAS IT???”
We see in vs 7 and 9 of Genesis 2, “The Lord God” formed the man whom he created and named “Adam.” The Title used in Genesis 1 for whom created Mankind is “GOD” and from the HEBREW WORD “ELOHIM”, it is PLURAL. In Genesis 2, we see in the Hebrew a SINGULAR use of the word Elohim, which in the English we see titled also singular as “THE LORD GOD.” We see the world of Genesis chapter 2, is one in which there is no rain, much like the World in Revelation 21, to which would have no rain as the Prophet John declares in the opening passage of Revelation 21 “and there was no more sea.” In Revelation 21, at the arrival of what prophecies declare is also called “THE DAY OF THE LORD”, that THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, has at that time the Title “THE LORD GOD”, and proclaims the very power of CREATION, as he prophecies “BEHOLD, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW!”
And we see in Genesis chapter 1, that the HUMANS created in that chapter, The Fruit Trees, the Herbs, and the Animals, particularly EVERY WINGED FOWL, are very much in contrast to those created Genesis chapter 2, indeed a Unique Creation and not the same. And we see one last contrast between the two events, discussed in the first two chapters of Genesis, in contrast to the WORLD created in Genesis chapter 1, in which the Humans of that creation are created on Day 6 of a 7 Day itinery, ADAM AND EVE, in the creation account of Genesis chapter 2 are created on DAY ONE!
Shocked? I will offer the proof in a moment. But first consider that when Christ is given his everlasting Kingdom, upon his arrival with the New Jerusalem in Revelation 21, the Old Earth and Heaven passes away and in a SINGLE DAY The Alpha and Omega creates “ALL THINGS NEW!” IN such, all of history prior to that point, is wrapped up inside that single day.
We are in Cycle that once complete, begins a new, what will happen, has already happened!
