I have a question that I think I may know the answer but not sure? How do you explain the bones of huge beasts that they say were on the earth millions of years ago? I think that it is very possible that God may have put them here millions of years ago and then changed everything to what it is today? Just would like to know what you think about it? Thanks

Honestly Norman ,i dont know ,but i know some one who does ! I dont worry about this sort of thing any more ,is there life on other planets ? I dont know and i dont loose sleep over it ,you and i know that God knows every thing , from everlasting to everlasting He Knows . Thats good enough for me and im sure it is for you also Normam ,love in Christ . P.S. I bet lots of people on here think they know and will tell you all about it soon ,you wont hear the same answer twice .

What I know is that GOD is from Eternity to Eternity, He has not beginning, neither ending. JESUS is the

beginning, and the ending. In fact, there was an Eternity in the heavenly environment of Eden, countless

millenniums, it could have been billions of years, where inhabited a multitude of angels ruled by a Cherub.

We know that there was a rebellion in the garden of God, the garden of Eden, and after the rebellion there

was a great changing in the primitive nature, a transformation in the nature of all things here on Earth.

After the rebellion the time did run away, and God planned to do a RESTORATION of all things, whose things

God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began as it is revealed in Acts 3:v.21.

There was a gap of around 500 years, a half of millennium, time between the fall of angels to the beginning

of God's work according Genesis 1-the first Day-, at the evening and the morning were the first Day.



As we know, God planned to work seven days to reestitution of all things in six Days and to rest in the seventh

Day, but one Day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one Day. Now let us see, JESUS

came in the fourth Day or around year 4.000, or in the TURN from the fourth to the fifth Day of God's works

-the Word is God. JESUS said: My Father worketh hitherto (fourth Day or year 4.000), and I work- John 5:v.17.

An interesting detail is that God revealed Genesis unto Moses, i.e. His plan of restoration of all things after

two Days and half of work, it was about 2.500 years. Although the Devil has usurped God's creation since Eden,

God still provided a seed for Himself according to His Plan of Restoration of all things. Cain had killed Abel,

so God gave birth to Seth and from this seed a parallel generation was formed- Genesis 5:v.1-32,Check it out-

face to face to the rebels of Eden, these were completely corrupted in a millennium of rebellious-Gen.6:v.1-12, God

sent the Flood.

There are scriptures in Genesis that explain SOME (not all) about the pre-Adamic world.

A word of caution: there are Cults that teach something called Old Earth Theory. It was used to explain archeology, geology, space exploration, ancient religions, dinosaurs, really old human bones.

Although some of these things are alluded to; does not mean a separate book was included in the Bible, or Canonized. God did not Authorize "old earth theory". There is the danger of heresy. Avoid that.

The entire Bible IS ABOUT JESUS Christ. He's practically on every page. If you miss that reality, then you can be drawn away by the Lust for self-importance. (Pride). Ego and arrogance.

The way to deep study the Bible is to get a Study Bible with a CENTER OF EACH PAGE COLUMN. The abc's imbedded in a scripture correspond to a letter in the Center column. You have to stop where you are and go read all of those notes. Those notes will lead you to even more expanded teaching. make notebooks full of notes: how you got from "here", to "there", and everything in between. Genesis jumps forward and backs up. Easy to miss.

I think, given this TIME in history [His-Story], we should concentrate on the prophesy of Daniel 12:5-13.

WE are the generation that will know what that Chapter has hidden for a very long time. They're coming unsealed. Life and goings on, all over this planet are being unsealed.

Don't get distracted now. Who stands to benefit with us being distracted and led away on fake mystery hunts? Satan.

Be relevant to the signs of the Times. Matthew 24:34, Matthew 25:35

How good are you at reading signs?

Type SIGNS in the Search Box and prepare to be amazed!

Lastly, science and theories will not secure Salvation, nor will you get to meet the Creator.

There was stuff here. Then God CREATED TIME. Genesis 1:1. Only THEN, time started ticking. Scientists can estimate age; but not time.

Mishael

Mishael, could you recommend a particular Study Bible? I am particularly interested in

learning to see Jesus Christ (in types) throughout the Old Testament.

Here goes :D

I checked Amazon today and a lot of Bibles are on sale yay! This is what I prefer:

*Thomas Nelson Publisher*

King James Bible

Real or imitation Leather

CENTER COLUMN cross reference

Study notes

Book Introductions

Charts, Lists

Messianic Prophecies

Parallel Passages

Dictionary/ Concordance

Color Maps

Study Aids

Red Letter

Explanation how to use study helps

I also have a New Strongs Concordance: it's easier to read, has more info.

(Separate) An expanded dictionary would be Very useful; bigger lists. But they make the Bible too big and clumsy. Try to get one separate.

Google is useful to find bigger charts and lists. I don't like Wikipedia remarks, because they are of Google (LOL) I think biblically Google can become used nefariously in the future.

**I use the Commentaries online ie Matthew Henry. Type in this way: commentary, Noah, your scripture (then) teaching or history or meaning. Read separately.

"Back to school" is when I buy packages of spiral notebooks for all my note scribbles.

Write on their covers: 'genesis' or end times or people or marriage or revelation or Geneologies, etc. It helps to organize your thoughts plus anything the Holy Spirit adds to it. Date the HS comments.

There is Rhema from him for true seekers. Use discernment using "old manna".

I make regular visits to Goodwill-type stores to see if anyone has discarded any valuable reference Bibles or a Strongs or books of Commentaries.

Mishael, very helpful, thank you. Praise God! I'll get on it.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven( Job 38:4-7 4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?) and the earth. ( Isaiah 14:12-14 12How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13For 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: 14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.) What I put in parentheses are the the other scriptures that show angles were made before the earth, since they are witness of the creation of the earth. Also I put in scripture were Lucifer first decide to rebel against God which would be after the creation of the earth before the flood of the universe which is why the Spirt of God is hovering over the waters. It was due to judgment against Lucifer and his fallen angels and creation at the time. Now angles cant die by the flood waters they are sprit but what ever was on the earth during that time could die which is were you can find your dinosaurs living during Lucifer rein over the earth. Also its the reason why God said in Genesis 9:11-15 And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. Their was a flood before Noah's flood its the reason why good use the pervious waters already left over from the pervious flood. When ever waters is mentioned in Genesis it refers to the waters in Genesis 1:2.

Greetings in Christ JESUS, Terrill

Jude 1:v. 6-7 reveals that: 6 "the angels which kept not their first estate (the nature of angels), but left

their own habitation (but rebelled), ... 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like

manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example,

suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Regarding to the angels, GOD hath reserved them in everlasting chains under darkness unto the Judgment

of this Great Day - the Lord's Day, that is the seventh and last Day, or seventh and last millennium, the

Millennium of Christ.

Now, in the time of restoration of all things- Acts 3:v.18 to26-the process will be inverse, from the human

or animal nature to the nature of angels, as JESUS said- Luke 20:v.35-36:

35 But they which shall be accounted WORTHY to obtain that world (the next world-the Kingdom of GOD-

Revelation 11:v.15-18), and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

36 Neither can they die any more: for they are EQUAL unto the ANGELS; and are the children of God,

being the children of the resurrection.

Philippians 3:v.20-21 -

20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the

working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

1 Corinthians 15:v.53-54

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,

then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Great comment! Very useful.

Hi Norman,

I remember a few years ago archeologists discovered a Dinosaur bone in Israel, They said it was millions of years old determined by the settlement around the bones, Later they found a gold coins with a Pharoah subscription on it in the escavated area that they said dated back about 7000 years. HMMM.

God bless.

Norman,

Take it with a grain of salt, then use a lot more salt to kill the lies. Of all the worlds space agencies that claim they've been to the moon, not one of them can produce a photograph of earth to prove it. Every picture we have from "space" of earth is a composite. All that $ and not one legitimate photo? Apollo not exceeding low earth orbit negates obtaining full earth shots. Govt's could resolve the flat earth charade, yet they choose division. Let's see Musk & Besos go to the moon, and take photos of the spherical earth before populating Mars. They reach for the stars and get taken down to the pit.

( Amos 9:2) Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:
