In the Beginning God ...

What really happened in the beginning? And why has this truth been hidden for so long? To find out the truth, we must go back to the beginning of everything in the book of Genesis.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Gen. 1:1)

In the Beginning God is a spiritual personification or a Person. When we read this scripture, we interpret it as time and not as an entity. In John 1:1, it states, "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word [logos] was God." The fact that it states in the beginning was God, not is God, implies a continued action, meaning He was already preexistent. God exists outside of time but in eternity. The logos is the energy or the speech of God in (human) form, but God could appear in any form (Job 38:1, 42:5; Gen. 12:7, 17:1, 26:2, 24). The words Jesus was with God means all that He said, did, and showed pointed to the Father.

Isaiah 48:3 reads, "I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass."

So In the Beginning God (the word), created the heavens and the earth. Everything was made good, but something happened to make the earth without form, an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep.

Deep in Hebrew in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible is an abyss (tehom-tehhome), a surging mass of water that was agitated greatly.

And the earth was [became] without form [waste, confusion], and void [empty]; and darkness [misery, death] was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God [Holy Ghost] moved upon the face of the waters. (Gen. 1:2)

And the Spirit of God moved upon the "face of the waters." The word moved in Hebrew is rachaph (raw-khaf), which means to brood. Brooding is like a hen sitting on her eggs to keep them warm, protect them, and lead them out of darkness. God was preparing a special place for His children that are made in His image and was protecting His DNA from something or someone. DNA abides in a matrix of water. The fact that DNA is in water is the primary reason why it has it's helix ladder shape (as you will see later).

The Holy Ghost was covering by brooding over the face of the waters. How long ago did all this take place? How long ago is the beginning? Well, no one really knows because we cannot date God. He has no beginning and no end. Did God create the earth that way?

According to Isaiah 45:18, "For thus saith 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, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord and there is none else."

God made the earth for a purpose and for it to be occupied. In Genesis 1:9, it states, "Let the dry [confused, ashamed] land appear:" and it was so." The word was in verse 2 should read became, so the earth became an empty waste of misery and death.

What or who caused the earth to be an uninhabited, worthless waste and in darkness since He didn't create it that way? How did it turn into chaos (extreme confusion or disorder)? Why was the dry land ashamed? Something happened. God was angry at someone or about something. To find out, we must go to Isaiah for some answers and learn about Lucifer and what he did to anger God.

There were three worlds (ages). There was the world (anion-age), the original earth, the chaotic earth, and the restored earth from Genesis 1:3 and forward. What happened that turned the original earth into the chaotic earth? In Isaiah 14:12, this statement is made by God, "How art thou fallen from heaven O, Lucifer son of the morning!"

You can see by the exclamation point (!) that this is a statement and not a question. The original Hebrew makes it clear that the word Lucifer really is not an accurate translation. Light bringer or bearer isn't what was intended in this passage. Lucifer is a Latin word, and sadly, the phrase translated is misleading. It should have been translated O shining star instead of Lucifer.

Lucifer in Hebrew is heylel (hay-lael), in the sense of brightness as the morning star. The actual Hebrew word hay-lael does not mean "star" but "bright or clear sounding," as in singing hallelujah/ allelujah. Although it really means brightly colored or shining and, appropriately, boastfulness and pride, the next phrase, "son of the morning" or morning star, should actually read "son of the dawning," as in the earliest or the first God created. Son in Hebrew is Ben (bane); a son, as a builder of the family name and morning, is shachar (shakhar), dawn or early.

God created the Angels at the dawn of all His creation. A more precise translation from the Hebrew should read, "O, clear sounding, bright shining, and boasting son from the beginning." I refer to him as Heylael Ben Shachar (Lucifer), who was trying to be God and wanted to be used in His place.

"I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the Bright and Morning Star" (Rev. 22:16).

Jesus is the Bright and Morning Star, not Heylael. Heylael is "the anointed cherub that covers." What was he covering?

The Anointed Cherub that Covers

Let's find out more about this being and what his purpose was and the exact reason why he was created. Let's go to Ezekiel 28:12-18.

Son of man, take up a lamentation [strike a musical note, chant or wail at a funeral] upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God, Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. (verse 12)

Thou hast been in Eden [paradise] the garden of God; every precious [valuable] stone was thy covering [entwined decoration], the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship [ministry, employment], of thy tabrets [to drum, a tambourine] and of thy pipes [bezels, flutes] was prepared [set up, fixed] in thee in the day that thou wast created. (verse 13)

Thou art the anointed [expansion, outstretched wings, to paint or rub on ] cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. (verse 14)

Pay close attention to the tenses of the verbs; to walk and to be are past tense. He no longer is walking or in the holy mountain, but he is still the anointed cherub that covers.

Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. (verse 15)
