Question 3 of 19
3. Question
This verse poses a problem. How could God create something that was empty and formless? Some Bible scholars believe that the word translated “created” is more properly translated “recreated.”
Others tell us that a vast amount of time passed between verses 1 and 2 and therein lies the story of how God’s perfect creation became formless and void.
We need to look at three other biblical books in order to understand this. Ezekiel’s prophecy against the king of Tyre gives us a hidden picture of God’s arch-enemy – Satan.
The Scripture: Ezekiel 28: 12-16
“ ‘You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz and emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared. You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.’”

Of course, God could not permit this. There was a terrible war between God’s forces and Satan’s.
The Scripture: Revelation 12:7-9
“Michael and his angels fought against the dragon (Satan), and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down – that ancient serpent called the devil or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth and his angels with him.”

Question 9 of 19
9. Question
Satan was hurled to the earth, and this is probably the reason we find the earth formless, empty and dark. We hear nothing more of Satan until he temps Eve in the Garden of Eden.
Let us go back now to the creation story.
The Scripture: Genesis 1:2 in The Amplified Bible
“….The earth was without form and an empty waste….The Spirit of God was moving (hovering brooding) over the face of the waters.”
12. What was the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit) doing?

Question 10 of 19
10. Question
As Christians, we are inclined to think of the Holy Spirit as essentially belonging to the New Testament era. But we see in this verse that He has been actively involved in the affairs of our world and in man since the beginning.
These two words hovering and brooding are very interesting. Hovering can be defined as “abiding or lingering” – to hang fluttering in the air or upon the wing.” Brooding is another word used in relation to fowl. Here we have the idea of the mother bird sitting on her eggs for the purpose of warming, protecting, or hatching them. The word also means “to remain steadfastly settled over something, to sit over, cover and cherish, to nourish, to foster.”
So here at the very beginning of our world, we have this beautiful picture of the gentle, bird-like nature of the Holy Spirit, waiting expectantly for the birth of the earth and then ready to cherish, nourish, and foster the development of its dwellers.
The following chapters describe the actual creation of the earth.
The Scripture: Genesis 1:3
“And God said, ‘Let there be light….and he separated the day from the darkness.”

Question 15 of 19
15. Question
Let us return now to the encounter between Satan and Eve. Satan, in essence, implied to Eve that God was lying to her and Adam – that if they are the forbidden fruit, they would not die, but their eyes would be opened and they would be like God, knowing good from evil.
The Scripture: Genesis 3:6
“When the woman (Eve) saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some of it and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.”
