God Just Spoke To Create

God just spoke to create

Psalm 33:6, 9“The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born. . . . For when he spoke, the world began! It appeared at his command.” Many is the modern-day evangelical who has attempted to harmonize the plain sense of the Scriptures with big bang cosmogony, concepts of stellar evolution, and a uniformitarian framework for earth history. This exercise seldom results in a tempering of secular thought, but rather in a compromising reinterpretation of Scripture, making it say something it clearly does not say.The Bible says that:Hebrews 11:3 “By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.”All things which now exist were simply called into existence at God’s spoken command.Creation was a true miracle. It was not (as some insist) merely a godly oversight of cosmic processes acting on eternal matter, nor was it the gradual appearance and disappearance of matter in a steady-state transformation.

Only a poor regard for Scripture, coupled with an overly high regard for current astronomical theory, could interpret (Hebrews 11:3 above) as the explosion of a tiny, super dense “cosmic egg” (that did not “appear,” i.e., too small to see), itself the result of a “quantum fluctuation in a vacuum” in a big bang which produced the entire universe.Rather, as implied in the formula, “Let there be . . . and there was”repeated many times in Genesis 1, and as described in Psalm 33 above and elsewhere, all things derive simply from His spoken word. Our response should not be to disbelieve and twist, but to believe and praise.

Psalm 33:8 “Let the whole world fear the Lord, and let everyone stand in awe of him.”
