I recently posted a short study on men BEFORE Genesis 1:1 I
have received many responses that I was correct except that
the catastrophe which caused the world to become void and
without form happened between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2
and upon careful consideration they are right and I was
wrong. This study will include what I previously posted with
some additional information. I am laying a ground work for
you to do your own study to see if my surmise is correct or
not.
While I really don't thing so, as I really think the verses
quoted are for the time period prior to Genesis 1:1,
however, for the sake of those who cannot accept that yet,
let us continue on with the study on the presumption that
the catastrophe did happen between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis
1:2.
Since the publication of "The Crumbling Wall of Untempered
Mortar," by Howard B. Rand several years ago there have been
objection from professional men and men of science, to his
statement that the first chapter of Genesis outlines the
whole panoramic sweep of creation, including the creation of
man, and that the second chapter outlines the detail by
which man was FORMED of the dust of the ground. The
objection bases its contention upon the idea that Adam was
"FORMED," not "CREATED," and that there is a distinction
between the CREATED race and those who are the posterity of
the man who was FORMED from the dust of the ground.
Now the controversy that has been going on as the
coexistence of a pre-Adamic race with that of the Adamic
peoples. We also recognize the fact that there is
considerable evidence to show that the earth was inhabited
by a race of people prior to the Adamic era. Psalms,
Ecclesiastes, Jeremiah, Isaiah refer briefly to the
existence of such a race, but they state that as a result of
the earth becoming void and without form, it was completely
destroyed off the face of the earth.
This destruction of an ancient civilization or
civilizations in a great catastrophe, making the earth
uninhabitable, was interjected by Jeremiah as a simile in
relation to what was about to take place in Palestine, for
the Lord said that every city would be forsaken and not a
man would dwell therein. Nevertheless, the Prophet referred
to an actual event that took place in ancient times, which
we recognize as fulfilling the conditions outlined in
Genesis 1:2. Prior to that catastrophe the earth was not in
a state of confusion.
Men have theorized for years about the possibility of the
coexistence of another race of human beings upon the earth
during the time of Adam, but it is only speculative and
without foundation in fact. Yet this is not a true statement
for we have proof positive that there were people in
existence before and in coexistence with Adam in the Garden
of Eden in Ezekiel 31.
People In the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve:
Please turn with us to the book of Ezekiel; to chapter 31
where we read:
1). "And it came to pass...that the word of the Lord came
unto me, saying,
2). Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to
his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
3). Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar (A TREE) in Lebanon
with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an
high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
4). The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high
with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out
her little rivers unto all the trees (PEOPLE) of the field.
5). Therefore his (THE ASSYRIAN) height was exalted above
all the trees (TALLER THAN THE OTHER PEOPLE) of the field,
and his boughs were multiplied (HAD MANY CHILDREN), and his
branches became long because of the multitude of waters,
when he shot forth.
6). All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs,
and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring
forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great
nations (countries).
7), Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his
branches; for his foot was by great waters. (NOW WE CHANGE
AND GO TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN)
 . The cedars (PEOPLE) in the GARDEN OF GOD could not hide
him: the fir trees (people) were not like his boughs (SEE
THE COMPARISON, THUS WE KNOW THAT THERE WERE OTHER PEOPLE
THERE TO COMPARE WITH HIM), and the chestnut trees (their
children - or people) were not like his branches (HIS
CHILDREN - OR PEOPLE); NOR ANY TREE IN THE GARDEN OF GOD was
like unto him in his beauty (SEE WE KNOW THE TREES IN THE
GARDEN WERE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT LIKE THE ASSYRIAN
IN BEAUTY - BECAUSE THEY WERE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR, THEY
WERE NOT WHITE. THAT IS NOT RACIST IT IS SIMPLY A FACT, EVEN
IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT. FOR GOD HAS NEVER CARED WHAT WE LIKE
OR DON'T LIKE WHEN HE SPEAKS, WE EITHER ACCEPT IT OR REJECT
IT TO OUR HURT).
9). I have made him fair (WHITE) by the multitude of his
branches (CHILDREN): so that ALL THE TREES (PEOPLE) OF EDEN
THAT WERE IN THE GARDEN OF GOD, ENVIED HIM (TREES CANNOT
ENVY EACH OTHER, ONLY PEOPLE CAN DO THAT).
10). Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast
lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top
among the thick boughs, and his heart (TREES DO NOT HAVE
HEARTS) lifted up in his height;
11), I have therefore delivered him (NOW GOD IS SPEAKING OF
ADAM) into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen: he
shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out (DRIVEN
ADAM OUT OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN, BECAUSE OF HIS DISOBEDIENCE
TO ALMIGHTY GOD) for his wickedness.
12). And strangers (PEOPLE OF OTHER RACES), the terrible of
the nations, have cut him off and have left him: upon the
mountains and in all the valleys his branches (SEE HE IS
AGAIN COMPARING HIM WITH A TREE) are fallen by all the
rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone
down from his shadow, and have left him (HERE IS WERE THE
DEPARTING OF THE VARIOUS RACES LEFT THE GARDEN OF GOD - THE
GARDEN OF EDEN AND WERE SCATTERED ALL ACROSS THE EARTH, AWAY
FROM ADAM AND HIS PEOPLE. THUS GOD SEGREGATED THE RACES FROM
EACH OTHER, SO THEY COULD NOT MIX; WHICH IS AGAINST GOD'S
LAW OF KIND AFTER KIND).
13). Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven
remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his
branches (HERE GOD IS SAYING THAT ADAM'S CHILDREN WOULD
ALWAYS BE ATTRACTED TO THE BLACK RACE - THE BEAST OF THE
EARTH);
14). To the end that none of all the trees by the waters
exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their
top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in
their height, all that drink water: for they are all
delivered unto death (ALL MANKIND WILL DIE BECAUSE OF ADAM'S
SIN), to the nether parts of the earth (IN OTHER WORDS ALL
PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, NO MATTER WHAT RACE WOULD DIE IN THEIR
TIME), in the midst of the children of men, with them that
go down to the pit (grave).
15). Thus saith the Lord God; In the day when he (ADAM)
went down to the grave (PIT) I caused a mourning: I covered
the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and
the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn
for him, and all the trees (PEOPLE) of the field fainted
(HERE AGAIN TREES DO NOT FAINT, ONLY PEOPLE DO THAT) for
him.
16). I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall
(WHEN ADAM FELL ALL THE VARIOUS RACES AND NATIONS ON EARTH
KNEW OF HIS FALL AND SHOOK WITH FEAR AND SADNESS), when I
cast him down to hell (THE GRAVE) with them that descend
into the pit; and all the trees of Eden (PEOPLE), the choice
and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be
comforted (HERE AGAIN TREES CANNOT BE COMFORTED) in the
neither parts of the earth.
17). They also went down into hell (THE GRAVE) with him
unto them that be slain with the sword (IN OTHER WORDS
EVERYONE WILL DIE AND GO TO THE GRAVE); and they that were
his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the
heathen (Here we are told that the trees of the Garden were
people of other races, other than Adam who was a White Man,
like it or not, love it or not).
1. To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness
among the trees (PEOPLE) of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought
down with the trees (PEOPLE) of Eden unto the nether parts
of the earth; thou shalt lie in the midst of the
uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. (NOW GOD
GOES BACK TO PHARAOH WHOM HE IS COMPARING ADAM AND THE
ASSYRIANS WITH) This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith
the Lord God." (Ezekiel 31) |
