There are 3 heaven and earth ages, same heaven and earth but different ages.(II Pet.3:5-7) For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: (6) Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: (7) But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. > > > > > > > > > > > > > >THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS(Gen.1:1) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.To that earth age the world that then was, belongs all fossils and remains. Scientific estimates or guesses; universe or heavens 20 billion years old, earth 4.6 billion years old, moon 200 to 300 million years younger than earth, dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago, Ice Age 2.5 million years ago. > > > > > > > > > > > > > >BEING OVERFLOWED WITH WATER PERISHED(Gen.1:2) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. The first word “was” (hayah) in Hebrew, was not distinguished by the Revisers, that is the verb “to be” from “to become”. The same Hebrew word “hayah” is translated “became” in Gen.2:7. WITHOUT FORM H8414 tohu (to'-hoo) From an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), that is, desert; figuratively a worthless thing; adverbially in vain: - confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.VOID H922 bohu (bo'-hoo) From an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, that is, (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin: - emptiness, void.(GEN.1:2) AND THE EARTH BECAME DESOLATE AND EMPTYEarth was not created that way but became desolate and empty due to Satan’s rebellion. A global overflowing of water, but not Noah’s deluge. Darkness was upon the (face) of the deep, in other words the whole earth.Into this we can read; dinosaur extinction, destruction of Atlantis, breakup of Gondwana Land, and the Ice Age. > > > > > > > > > > > > > >BUT THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WHICH ARE NOW(Gen.1:2) And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.(Gen.1:3) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. About 63 A.D. Peter writes, the heavens and the earth which are now. The heaven and earth age we are in now, today.BY THE SAME WORD ARE KEPT IN STORERESERVED UNTO FIRE AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGMENTAND PERDITION OF UNGODLY MENPERDITION G684 apoleia (ap-o'-li-a) From a presumed derivative of G622; ruin or loss (physical, spiritual or eternal): - damnable (-nation), destruction, die, perdition, X perish, pernicious ways, waste.Some will perish eternally and not see the third heaven and earth age.
