Most of us have been predisposed to various kinds of doctrines, creed, beliefs, and teachings; so that when we encounter something contrary to our beliefs we are inclined to look for evidence to counteract. In doing so we may find a passage that supports our previous opinion, even if it contradicts a half dozen other passages on the same subject. Perhaps we have taken a text out of context, or it may be an obscure passage, a phrase, or giving a “Private Interpretation” (2 Peter 1:20). Never interpret a clear and plain passage of scripture by a doubtful or obscure passage. Now let us investigate for the answer to the question; “when did the Great Planet Earth come into being?” Thou Lord (Elohim) in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the Earth, and the Heavens are the works of thine hands (Hebrews 1:10).

     “In the beginning God,” …God was before all. The next word in Genesis chapter 1:1 was “Created,” “God Created,” (He God the Father) Created. He Created the Heavens and the Earth, but the very next verse of the first chapter of Genesis says this: “The Earth was without Form, and Void.” The Hebrew words for “without Form and Void “are tohu and bohu. Translated into English they mean Chaotic, in Confusion; Waste and Empty.

     Why would God Create the Earth in disorder and then have to straighten it out? “God saw everything that He made, and, behold, it was Good,” implied a personal and beautiful order and system. When God is talking to Job about His creation, He is saying to Job, “where wast thou when I laid the foundation of the Earth? Who hath laid the measure thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched the line upon it? Where upon are the foundation thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner stone thereof” (Job 38:1-7)? The Angels were so overjoyed by the beautiful Creation that they “sang and shouted for joy.” The morning stars and the sons of God refer to intelligent beings (Angels) before the Creation of the visible Heavens and Earth.

     Once upon a time the Universe was Formless, Darkness was universal and not one planet or star marked the solar system. The Eternal, Independent and Self Existent Being, the Being whose purpose and actions sprang from Himself, True and Holy, the cause of all beings, the upholder of all things, before the Creative acts all was eternity. This Creator was God (Elohim). It follows that He (God) is also the Creator of His Son Jesus, Called Michael the Archangel.
The Four angels mentioned by name as Archangels are: Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Lucifer. Lucifer, “light bringer” was the bright and morning star;  the second  Created Spiritual being
(Angel) He was a brilliant, glorious Spiritual being--an archangel and full of wisdom, the prince of this world. Lucifer had some mysterious connection with this earth and its animals (prehistoric reptiles), before man’s appearance. “Thou sealest up the sun” (Ezekiel 28:2). There was neither Sun nor Moon. Lucifer was so bright that he was the sun that lit up the whole solar system.

     After Michael (Jesus) and Lucifer was Created, thousands upon thousands, thousands and thousands of angels were created (Daniel 7:10; Revelation 5:11). Angels; a supernatural or heavenly being, a little higher in dignity than man. Angels are Created beings (Psalm 148:2-5). Scripture does not tell us the time of their Creation, but it was certainly before the Creation of Earth and man. All angels are described as “Spirits” (Hebrews 1:14). Although without a bodily organism they have often revealed themselves in a bodily form as a man (Genesis 18:1-3). They therefore constitute a company, not a race developed from one original pair.

     After the angels were created, then it was time to turn to the Creation of the galaxies, the planets that makes up the solar system: Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and the Earth, with other planets throughout the universe.
