14. • Creation already existed = God is not
creating he is forming and shaping.
• Genesis 1:1
– Creation of all the universe
– “Beginning” = not a point in time but a
span of time
– E.g. Job 8:7; Gen. 10:10
• Gen. 1:2 land was formless & void =
Promised Land, i.e. Eden = 6/24hr days
to prepare.
• Gen. 1:14 NOT let there be lights in the
heavens to separate the day from the
night…but = let the lights in the heavens
be for separating the day and night.

18. Acts 12:21-23, “ Immediately an angel of the Lord
struck him down, because he did not give God the
glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his
last.”
VS.
Josephus, “A severe pain arose in his belly, striking w/ a
most violent intensity…and when he had been quite
worn out by the pain in his belly for five days, he
departed this life…”

20. Narrative Omission Theory
• Where did the serpent come from? When did
Satan rebel? What is his motivation? Why?
• When were angels made at all? Job 38 = at
creation (if “sons of God” = angels).
• How long did Adam & Even live in Eden?
• Gen. 4 Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel but…
– Cain is afraid others will kill him – who?
– Cast out to the “land of Nod” = inhabited?
– Took a wife but no one else mentioned
– Gen. 6 helps fill in gaps = A&E had many children
