We know the earth is billions of years old by artifacts, etc. We have to accept the fact that the Bible is about Jesus Christ. God did not choose to write a Book about Earths formation.
I believe He meant for us to discover a truth: that SOMEONE made all of this. Read Romans 1
Time was created. For mankind; and times and seasons. Read Psalms 33:6-9; Jeremiah 4:23; Isaiah 24:1, 40:12. Job 38 is helpful too.
You are going to enjoy studying so much more if you'll get a study Bible, with CENTER COLUMN references (center of each page); with study helps like concordance, maps, lists. I saw some on Amazon the other day on sale. King James Version. :D
Always, always ask the Holy Spirit to Teach you what you are studying. That is Him in Genesis 1:2
He was awaiting Gods purpose, and the Word of God (Jesus) to speak forth.
You have to be born again, Baptized into the Holy Spirit; to be taught Bible personally by Him.
Jesus went through the Cross also, to give us the indwelling Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. Jesus said, unless I go away he (Holy Spirit) Comforter, Teacher, Convictor of sins, cannot come. He's as real as the nose on your face. study HIs Gifts. You can ask for the best gift. He knows exactly what you need.
I have a really special reveal on the Holy Spirit: He sings. I sing to Him and it probably hurts His ears, so we sing together. Why do we not enter into His presence and just listen to Him?
This comment room would be on fire if we would believe what Jesus told us about the Comforter. I know why Paul thought it better to go to heaven, but he suffered to stay here so we could grow up strong in Jesus Christ.
Stop looking at this world that is dying, and turn your eyes upon Jesus! He loves us and wants us to be with Him always. Learn the Knowledge of the Holy. That's a scripture.
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which GOD hath prepared for them that love Him.
10 But GOD hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of GOD.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of GOD knoweth no man, but the Spirit of GOD.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of GOD; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of GOD.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit (who is not a ghost as is written in English language, but a person as JESUS is a person too) teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of GOD: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual Judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? but we have the mind of Christ.
THE WORD IS GOD. If the expression "beginning" in the GOD's Plan of restoration of all things- Acts 3:v.18to26 combined with Genesis 1- is a mere ''verb", it would be an insignificant detail, but if we saay "In JESUS God created heavens and the earth" , this revelation bring us a wonderful vision about our Lord JESUS Christ as is revealed to John 1:v.1-3 and Hebrews 1:v.1-4 and 10-13:
Hebrews 1:1 to 3
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son - JESUS - , whom He -GOD the Father- hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
By the way, in my vision, GOD could not revealed the name of JESUS before the fourth Day when the Word would be made flesh, but in fact JESUS was the beginning of all things, so Moses wrote "in the beginning" instead in JESUS God created heavens (four heavens) and earth-the clay-the dry land. Great GOD mysteries - Colossians 2:v.1-3: - 1 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 2 - That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 - In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
1 John 5:v.7 - There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father (GOD the Father), the Word(the Word made flesh-JESUS), and the Holy Spirit (who is not a ghost, as is written in English language, but a person-the Comfort): and these three are One.
The first thing God created is TIME.
