I think it is interesting that on day one, which Peter tells us that a day with the Lord is as a thousand years the first thing God says is "Let there be light:", and so many other places Christ is referred to as the light.
This earth contains the evidence that something earth shaking occurred millions of years ago, and I have read and heard about how super volcanoes can completely shield the sunlight from this earth. We all witnessed what that 9 + earthquake and ensuing tsunami did, a couple of years back, throw in some super volcanoes and mega hail stones, some meteor hits and there would be some major damage done to this earth. Might even shake the earth's rotational balance a few degrees.
Apply that same theory to "darkness was upon the face of the deep"
Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear son;
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Proverbs 4:19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble
Satan rebelled and God cast him to earth. Was he the darkness God referred to when He said, "Let there be light"...and God divided the light from the darkness"?.
This earth contains the evidence that something earth shaking occurred millions of years ago....Might even shake the earth's rotational balance a few degrees.
I agree. There is scripture that tells us about the age before this one and what happened at that time. One is spoken by Jesus in Matthew 13:35:
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, "I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the Foundation of the world."
Foundation is #2602 in Strong's. Katabole, kataballo. E.W. Bullinger compared the uses of the word and finds the correct meaning as casting down, or overthrow, disruption, ruin. A friend also told me of another place that tells us of that time. "It is not scripture, but the Book of Jasher, is quoted twice in the OT, Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18 therefore, some credence should probably be given to this:"
"Jasher, speaking of the creation (Jasher was the son of Caleb...a contemporary of Moses), says in 1:4-5, "And the abyss fled before the face of the light, and divided Between the light and the darkness. So that the face of nature was fomed a second time."
I believe that the katabole was so intense and shook earth so much that it was knocked off it's axis. If I'm not mistaken, it is 90% off of true north now.
