I am glad you where the one to offer your impressions on this subject matter, simply due to the fact that if I had posted such a thing, every freak
who with their GOD hatefilled views would have said I was a nut.
I have been posting here for several years, and I fully agree, 100% with the premise you have placed here for consideration.
Anytime I have mentioned Genesis, I have tended to refer to it as the Genesis Account, simply due to the obvious problems found in Genesis in the
first place.
1st: When considering Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2, we have an immeadite problem.
In the Begining, GOD created the Heavens and the Earth.
In the balance of the Genesis Account, we clearly see one thing is repeated. To paraphrase,
And GOD saw, it was good.
He created the Firmament, and it was good. He Recreated man on the 6th day, and it was good.
GOD never creates Waste/Void/Desolation/Without Form. This is the realm of the Fallen and their leader.
No, the problem in Genesis 1:2 is the Translators themselves. They erred in their application of the Original Text into English.
The King James 1611 Bible clearly says,
1:2 And the earth was without form, and void
But a review of the Original langauge, indicates a perfectly acceptable translation could also have applied indicating.
Genesis 1:2 And the Earth became a waste and a desolation, which of course, several posters have sort of already adressed, in an alternative
manner.
Genesis 1:2 covers the War that occured between GOD and the Fallen. It was the outcome of that event, that turned the world into that waste and
desolation, which could have the appearance of being without form and void, but this was not how it was originally created.
Scripture is fairly clear also, that we are currently in the Second Earth Age. If this is the second, then there must have been a first.
We also see other "Curious" mannerisms expressed.
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:....
Now man, is expressed as something that was a "familiar" Speices.
It could have indicated, Let us Create an upright form with independent thought and call it Man.
No, I am fairly certain, Man was here in the First Earth Age, and in all likelyhood, resembled what Evolutionist base the premise of their faith in.
In reality, we STILL and ALWAYS WILL have a MISSING LINK, until Evolutionists sit down and calmly realize, the Genesis Account is clearly noting why
there is a missing link.
GOD and the Angels made a better man on the 6th day. And GOD also gives him a strange thing to do.
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth,....
You do not replenish, a "NEW" Creation. No, 6th Day man was a Re-Created spieces, and told to replenish the Earth.
But I would like to suggest, we actually have a bit of a 'flow' problem in Genesis.
Genesis 1:1 is the First Creation.
Genesis 1:3 through to Genesis 2:3 is the RE Creation
Genesis 2:4 is the second Creation of a Specific Man. The Gardener.
But none the less, you have done a great job in assembling together these Scriptures and presenting this in a Timeline.

Do you think that during the recreation of the earth, god expanded the earth, to thin out the atomosphere, etc...to make way for present lifeforms we
have today?
Although anything is possible, why would this need to occur. Prior to the Flood, we had a barrier refered to as Heaven or the Firmament, which held
the "higher" pressures for things such as Dinosaurs, and more specifically FLYING Dinosaurs, to live and be mobile. Not to mention the Flora/Plant
life, which was considerably larger than what we see occur today.
And after the flood, we have devolved into the present lifeforms we are today.

...Could Lucifer also have the power to create things as well since he has the power to grant anyone he wishes leadership over the entire earth? I
know it is impossible for you to know the answer, but your speculations and theories are quite interesting. I would like to know what you think about
that...
May I suggest you review the following testamony of JOB.
Job
A great tale of Love and Loyality to GOD. But Satan appears to have been given the authority to have several things occur, which seem to include Earth
Studies and Climate/Weather Control

Allright, an interesting explanation. But why would God create a new species Man and a new earth in the middle of the enemy's base. If satan was cast
unto earth. Why not leave this rock alone.
I think you missed the problem. My intro here discusses what this Earth became, and I believe this could not have been left alone, so to speak. It
needed to be refreshed.
There is also another consideration, which is expressed within the Book of Enoch. The Fallen, are no longer "Physical Concerns" since they have been
effectively dealt with during the flood.
Enoch Chapter 10
I hope this helps in answering your question.

For the L-RD's portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance.
Well almost all nations, as Jacob (Israel) belongs to G-d and Michael is Israel's chief prince.
You make an interesting notation, but I think there is more in respects to this, which tends to be either overlooked or outright ignored either due to
some intent or through a lack of comprehension of GOD's Word.
Isaiah 19:25 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine
inheritance.
Egypt is his people.
Assyria the work of his hands.
and Israel his inheritance.
Two of these three people, tend to be overlooked in respects to having an association and affiliation to GOD. Things like this SHOULD NEVER be
overlooked.
I look forward to seeing where this leads to, and I would suggest if anyone who seemingly has difficulties with this topic only NEEDS TO ASK. It
appears quite a few posters have a pretty good grasp on this subject matter.
