BobRyan Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 When was heaven created? Paul tells us of the "third heaven" in 2Cor 12 -- apparently that is not the one spoken of in Ex 20:11. Genesis 1 speaks of birds flying "in the open firmament of heaven" - apparently that is what Ex 20:11 is talking about since it is summarizing Genesis 1:2-2:3. Rev 19:17 - 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; Just sayin' in Christ, Bob Quote John 8:32 - The Truth will make you free“The righteousness of Christ will not cover one cherished sin." COL 316.
BobRyan Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 By contrast Genesis 1:1 is a general summary of all creation and may include all 3 heavens. Quote John 8:32 - The Truth will make you free“The righteousness of Christ will not cover one cherished sin." COL 316.

Woody Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 Quote: BTW, "heaven" in Gen 1:1 is plural. I don't know what version you get your info from - but it ain't in mine. I use the King James for accuracy and it is singular in both Gen.1 and Ex. 20. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Robert Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Quote: Which heaven? "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." The first verse in your Bible. Heavens refers to the atmosphere & maybe some of the surrounding planets, moons, sun. Quote
