There have been many ideas about what happened in verse two of Genesis chapter one. Some people have said there were meteors that wiped out the dinosaurs. Some speculate the fall of Lucifer caused the earth’s destruction. Other cultures believe the earth has been destroyed three times over its history and we are living in the fourth time of destruction. Some say earth’s destruction is due to a processional cycle. Others observed that pole shifts have occurred in the past and would theorize that pole shifts caused the destruction. Then there are cultures that believe there may have been some atomic type warfare that occurred that caused the earth’s destruction. These are all very valid ideas.

Something happened to the earth that suggests a cataclysmic event. This does not say the heavens became a mess, only the earth. The word was as we can see by definition is properly supplied as was become or had become or became. The earth became desolation. It became an undistinguishable ruin. It didn’t start that way, it became that way. We have cultures and people groups all over the world that believe the earth has been destroyed multiple times. Their own history dates back 30,000 BC, such as Egypt, India, Sumer, China, Maya, and Native America. Doesn’t this seem odd as we can only date Hebrew peoples 4,000 years BC? This is what fascinates me about history, mystery and discrepancy. If there is discrepancy it is in our understanding, or lack of understanding. We have been taught in America a nice little fairy tale, yet in other countries their history is very different. We will explore some of these cultures and ideas of how this all blends with Judeo Christian belief but to start we will jump to today.
Astronomers have routinely used data from the 15th century to build theories and understandings of our universe; however 19th century to present has shown some of our theories are out dated. We have speculated that our universe is held together, if you will, by gravity. We know that when we trip we fall down not up. So we assume that stars are bound by gravitational pull to keep them in place. There must be some type of missing matter to make sense of the theory of gravity. Scientists have named these unknown particles, gravitons. Well guess what, there are no gravitons, none have ever been detected or found. Despite our best efforts and millions of dollars in research, we’ve been looking to prove something that may not truly exist.
What we have thought is that our universe is ordered by gravity and gravitational pull. What we have learned is that our universe is electromagnetic. The universe is made up of 99% electric plasmas. Plasmas follow magnetic fields. The missing link is not gravitons but plasma. Gravity attracts, it does not repel, so therefore we now understand that our universe is more so affected by electromagnetism then gravity. There are four states of matter, solid, liquid, gas and plasma. Plasma has three modes, dark current, glow, and arch. One such evidence of plasma is Auroras, another is Lightening. Now this opens up many of possibilities to our understanding of what goes on in the universe, how to travel through it, and what could affect the earth. It also may tell us how it is possible that ancient civilizations had technologies that we have yet to understand. If there are electromagnetic fields around our globe, as well as the universe, then we can understand why the Carnac stones may be arranged as they are. They are magnetized. It opens our understanding to the Bermuda Triangle as to why our instrumentation does not work in that area as well as in Japan’s Dragon Triangle.
The entire point to all the scientific understanding is that our earth is affected by what happens in the heavens. One Native American culture, the Hopi’s, believe our earth was destroyed three times, once by fire, such as volcano’s or meteors, once by ice and once by flood. Their prophecies state that we are in the fourth age. We have evidence of large meteor strikes on our planet, we have evidence of volcanos, we have evidence of an ice age, and we have evidence of a flood. So when we wonder how the earth became formless and void we realize it could have been a number of things and it could have been more than one time. We are not told how many times the earth became a wasteland. We are told that things had to be created and that the Holy Spirit was there as a master worker or architect.
What this also tells us it that there may be a more understandable reality to the Mayan calendar where the earth is affected by gravitational alignment when the earth is on one side of the milky way and the sun on the other. The presumption by scholars to interpret what might happen when the earth aligns with most of the other planets in our solar system on one side of our milky way, and the sun on the other side, also presuming that the dark rift, or black hole in the milky way, will throw off our gravitational pull and cause catastrophes such as would occur with pole shifts. However if our universe is electromagnetic, we may very well feel the effects of that alignment but for a different reason. Also we may see greater catastrophes then we have so far imagined.
As for me, my hope lies in the pre tribulation rapture which we won’t take time to cover here except to say that we are saved from the wrath to come. Yet, if for some reason, we go through cataclysmic devastation it is a small matter to me as one day I will be with the Lord. I’m all for sooner, (yes I prefer escapism), rather than later. But that’s just me. I will throw this out there though. There are three raptures/catching away’s noted in the bible. It’s a fun study. There is the body of Christ, pre trib, the 144,000 Jews, mid trib, and those who do not accept the mark of the beast, post trib. But that’s another story for a different day. Luke 21:28 does say look up not look out.
End Notes
The Holy Spirit in the Beginning
Prov 8:22-31
22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
KJV
Prov 8:30
30 Then I was by him, (as) a master workman; And I was daily (his) delight, Rejoicing always before him,

What is a graviton?
What is a graviton? Where can it be found?
According to Weisstein's world of Physics, a graviton is "a theoretical particle having no mass and no charge that carries the gravitational force."
In quantum mechanics, we know that light comes to us in massless packets, or particles, called photons, which carries electromagnetic force with it. Because this worked so well and is essential to the theory of quantum mechanics, people hypothesized the existence of a similar particle which carries the gravitational force.
As of today (June 4, 2003) we have not found proof that the graviton exists. Because these particles carry very little energy, they are very hard to detect - but we're still looking!

Newton's law of gravity

gravitational force exerted between two objects

mass of object 1

mass of object 2

distance between the objects

G = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2
When discussing the force that is exerted between two celestial bodies, Newtons forumula states that the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distances between the two objects. The nearest star to our sun is Alpha Centauri and it is 4.24 light years away or 1016 miles, just under 10 trillion miles.
