Genesis 1:1-5 is the beginning of things in our world. There were things before the start of our world. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit were before. When precisely the angels came into being is debated. It doesn't seem that it could be before creation because that would necessitate two creations. However, in the end, the Bible doesn't say anything about their creation.
These five verses at the beginning of the Bible are astounding in their brevity and simplicity. Yet befuddling in their content. Look at them here,
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
In just the first ten words, there is so much mystery that scientists are still scratching their tiny brains trying to figure out where we all came from. The sentence is so simple that a child can understand it. Yet because of hard hearts, the supposed wise become fools and invent stores about our beginnings.
We are discovering from these wise/fools the latest thing about this phenomenon called the "black hole". Something so powerful that even light doesn't escape its grip. One day our future relatives will have the air sucked right into that abyss. It would be a cruel finish.
Hell is a cruel finish that the wise/fools don't have to put up with because it doesn't exist in their world. I think that Steven Hawking might understand more about that place now than when he was a wise/fool.
God spoke the universe into existence, and it came into being. The blackest hole is called hell, and God made light to separate Him from the darkness. God is light, and there is no shadow in him. He never changes, and he is love and justice too. To get on his good side, you need to accept what his son Jesus did on the cross when he died to pay for your sin. If you do that, you will enter the polar opposite of the black hole into God's eternal glory.
