In the beginning, the scriptures proclaim that God created the heavens and the earth. But there is a great gap between verse one and verse two. What caused the earth to be without form. What could have possibly happened to permit the earth to be completely empty or void? What caused the waters to cover the face of the whole earth and even to extend into the heavens Gen. 1:6-8? We understand through the scriptures that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all 1John 1:5. Meditate upon these questions a moment. The great desolations that we’ve seen down through the ages come from the spiritual forces of darkness. Go back to Genesis Chapter 3, and read about a Spirit who had been expelled from heaven because darkness was found in his heart. Then read how he approached Adam and Eve to entice them and gain access to this earth to destroy it. Before this time, he had a throne and his dominion was not in heavens. And before his subtle behavior, Adam and Eve enjoyed only light. God is calling us right now to cast off the works of darkness; the evil intentions that originated from the spirit of Satan. His agenda still remains the same: total destruction of the earth and its inhabitants because he was routed out of his position and underulership. But light can prevail for you through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 1:5 NLT Translation
The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it.
Isaiah 14:12-16 King James Version
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
