Pamphlet 1781 Plan of God kc 4-3
Do
you know why human bones and remains
are
NOT found along with those of the dinosaurs?
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
He created it perfect, as He always does, and He created it to be inhabited.
Listen to Him:
Isaiah 45:18
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
It is the Creator God of Genesis 1:1.
This is extremely important because
He says that He did not create the earth in "vain",
but He formed it to be inhabited,
and it was habitable.
The word "vain" used here is the Hebrew word "tohu"
and it means desolation, utter waste.
God did not create the earth as a desolation, a wasteland.
We just documented it.
Do you believe it?
It certainly makes sense, for even man doesn't create things "tohu".
We now come to the second verse in the Bible.
The prehistoric age of Gen. 1:1 is over and the earth has now become a desolation.
You would never know it was created perfect but became without form , and void if you read only the King James translation.
Genesis 1:2
And the earth was (became) without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
It is exactly the same word translated "became"
in Gen. 2:7
"and man 'became' a living
soul".
Genesis 19:26 But Lot's wife looked back, and she became (not was) a pillar of salt.
Genesis 9:15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become (not was) a flood to destroy all flesh.
Genesis 4:3 And in process of time it came to pass (not was), that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
All the same word haw-yaw 'in the original Hebrew text!

Here are their definitions from Strong's:
We are given the details of this destruction of the prehistoric age in the Book of Jeremiah, chapter 4:tohuw, to'-hoo, Hebrew 8414; from an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), i.e. desert; figurative a worthless thing; adverbial in vain :- confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.bohuw, bo'-hoo, Hebrew 922; from an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, i.e. (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin :- emptiness, void.
Jeremiah 4:19
My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trump, the alarm of war.
Our Father is very pained that He must do this to His children and His beautiful creation.
Here's how Dr. Moffat translates verse 19:
He anguished at the very thought of having to do the following:[19] "O my heart, my heart! it writhes! On how it throbs! My soul is moaning! I cannot hold my peace..."
Jeremiah 4:20
Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
SUDDENLY are my dwelling places ruined, and in an INSTANT all my shelters are torn down!
[21] How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
[22] For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Remember, this is our Father speaking!
This is what He has to say about His children.
Here is the N.A.S. version:
[22] For my people are foolish, they know Me not; they are stupid children, and they have no understanding. They are shrewd to do evil, but to do good they do not know.
This next verse will document that the destruction God is referring to here in Jeremiah is the destruction of the entire earth, reduced to the EXACT same condition of "tohu va bohu" and "darkness" that we read of in Gen. 1:2, which we will parallel for emphasis.
Jeremiah 4:23
I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.Genesis 1:2
And the earth became without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
Jeremiah 4:24
I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
[25] I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
(1Co 15:40) There are also
celestial2032 bodies, and bodies terrestrial:1919 but the glory of the
celestial2032 is one, and the glory of the terrestrial1919 is another.
G2032 epouranios ep-oo-ran'-ee-os

G1919 epigeios ep-ig'-i-os From
G1909 and G1093; worldly (physically or morally): - earthly, in earth,
terrestrial.
1Co 15:44 It is sown a
natural5591 body; it is raised a spiritual4152 body. There is a natural5591
body, and there is a spiritual4152 body.
G5591psuchikos psoo-khee-kos' From
G5590; sensitive that is, animate (in distinction on the one hand from
G4152, which is the higher or renovated nature; and on the other from G5446,
which is the lower or bestial nature): - natural, sensual.
G4152 pneumatikos phyoo-mat-ik-os'
From G4151; non-carnal, that is, (humanly) ethereal (as opposed to gross),
or (daemoniacally) a spirit (concretely), or (divinely) supernatural, regenerate,
religious: - spiritual. Compare G5591.
You can witness the remains of the prehistoric world, the world that then was, in the layers of the earths crust.
Question? Have you ever read about or seen TV specials which speculate about a "Lost City of Atlantis"?
Well, if you believe God's Word, then speculation is over for you.
There WERE cities in the prehistoric age and the next verse documents it.
[Jeremiah 4:26] I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them {the ancient Israelites} for ensamples, and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
