The Earth was Formless and Desolate

Before we start, let’s first go over Genesis 1:1 to 2;

1 In the beginning, when God created the universe, 2 the earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the Spirit of God was moving over the water.

Genesis 1:1 has already been discussed in this post. So if you have not read it yet, then you it’s best that you should read it first before you continue reading this one.

The earth was formless and desolate


When the time that God had created earth came out into its existence, it was totally formless or it was not yet designed. Perhaps you can imagine it in a way where earth was randomly scattered around on its place. So at this moment, the place was yet uninhabitable.

The raging ocean covered everything


Apart from being formless and desolate, earth was covered with water where its surface behaved similarly to a raging ocean.

Engulfed in total darkness


Light was not yet fixed by God so earth was totally engulfed with complete darkness.

Spirit of God was moving over the water


As God started His creation of heaven and earth, His Spirit was moving over the water. Could it possibly be that His Spirit acted as His own hands in reshaping and designing His entire creations? If you want to share your own thoughts then feel free to Comment it down below.
