Three Earth Ages

(11.) There are three earth ages in God's Word. You will find in Genesis 1 verse 2, in the Hebrew, that the words about the earth 'was without form and void', in reality mean 'laid waste' and 'a ruin'. The word 'was' means 'became'; the phrase 'without form' (tohuw) means 'to lie waste, a desolation'; and 'void' (bohuw) means 'an undistinguishable ruin'. God did not create the earth in this desolate state, as written in Isaiah 45:18, for the same Hebrew word, tohuw is written there. Satan's rebellion caused this 'overthrow' so God destroyed that first earth age, the time of lost cities and ancient fossil remains. So there is a gap of time between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 that is alluded to in God's Word, but not in so much detail. There is no way of determining how long that first earth age was. This fact, established from God's Word dispels the myth that the earth is only 6,000 years old. This earth is literally millions of years old probably. Jehovah gave another warning referring to that time when He destroyed that first earth age with a trembling in Jeremiah 4. There you will find in Hebrew the words tohuw va bohuw again. He is warning His 'sottish' (foolish, silly) children that He's going to cause that 'trembling' of the mountains again. This will happen along with His 'consuming fire' that will burn up all the works of man from this earth, to 'renew' the earth for the last earth age, God's eternity.
The sin of Satan caused God to begin this now present flesh age, in order to give all a chance to come to The Father, except Satan and his host.. II Peter 3 also gives another reference to this with "...that by the word of God the heavens were of old,..." (II Peter 3:5). Also, this old earth's geographical pole is about 90 miles off from its true magnetic pole. Buttercups were found in the stomach of mammoths in Alaska, buried and frozen in ice, showing an instant and sudden freeze, not one gradually over time.There is a parallel to this in Isaiah 11 where it is written that in God's eternity the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the lion will eat straw like an ox. This hasn't happened yet friend.
This earth has become a desolation again today, similar to the earth's state at Genesis 1:2, and God is going to put the earth through a scrubbing, again. His children that love Him and try their best to follow His Word are not to worry, for He is not angry at them. This 'trembling', or putting back of this earth's original created state will happen again as it did after Lucifer rebelled. All will be in their spiritual or angelic bodies at that time, as written in I Cor.15, Luke 21, Zechariah 3, Matthew 22:30, Rev.22:8-9, and Ezekiel 39 through the end of that Book.
Try to understand that all souls were created by God in the beginning. The time we have spent in this little ole' flesh body is a drop in the bucket compared to the time in the spiritual body. Understanding these things are part of coming back into 'remembrance' of former things, and is part of God's Truth that will set you free. And these Truths dealing with the three earth ages and the differences between the 'angelic' and flesh body will help alleviate worries and anxieties concerning the future. Get into The Word for yourself. Don't rely on any man to do it for you. They will not be there to defend you on the day of The Great White Throne judgement. The Lord gave us His Word in order to set us free from this flesh state of sin, but truly in 'remembrance' of former things through His Son Christ Jesus are we in fact 'free'. This He gives for all those who love Him through Jesus Christ.

(12.) The seven signs Jesus taught in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 are the seven seals of Revelation. One only need figure out their proper order according to Revelation, and you'll find that they match. Note that this was a 'private' teaching to the Apostles. Not everyone will understand, but if you are truly sincere with our heavenly Father, you will be considered in right of possession of the knowledge of these signs of the endtime. They are easy to understand given patience, nothing magical about it, only that sincerity and a pure heart is necessary, and of course, a willingness to study for yourself. Most new Christians make the mistake of jumping into the Book of Revelation before they have a proper foundation in the Old Testament. I don't care what any man says, if you don't properly understand much of the Old Testament, especially the Book of Genesis, you will not truly understand Revelation.
