GENESIS 1:31-2:1
31 And God saw every thing that he had
made, and, behold, it was very good.
And the evening and the morning were
the sixth day.
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were
finished, and all the host of them.
All the host of the heavens and the earth.
“…ALL THE HOST”
Would “all the host” include the angels?
The Hebrew word for “host” is “tsava.”
(For those interested the Strongs
Concordance # 6635)
“Host” refers to things alive and
inanimate.
JOSHUA 5:13-15
13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by
Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked,
and, behold, there stood a man over against
him with his sword drawn in his hand: and
Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art
thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he
said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the
LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his
face to the earth, and did worship, and said
unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
15 And the captain of the LORD’S host said
unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot;
for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And
Joshua did so.
1 KINGS 22:19
19 And he said, Hear thou therefore
the word of the LORD: I saw the
LORD sitting on his throne, and all
the host of heaven standing by him
on his right hand and on his left.
DANIEL 8:10
10 And it (the little horn) waxed
great, even to the host
cof heaven;
and it cast down some of the host
and of the stars to the ground, and
stamped upon them.
c to the host: or, against the host
PSALM 148:2, 3
2 Praise ye him, all his angels:
praise ye him, all his hosts. 3
Praise ye him, sun and moon:
praise him, all ye stars of light.
As we have seen, “host” can refer to
angelic beings. But “host” can also
refer to inanimate stellar bodies like the
sun, moon and stars.
Deuteronomy 4:19a
19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto
heaven, and when thou seest the sun,
and the moon, and the stars, even all
the host of heaven, shouldest be driven
to worship them, and serve them.
2 KINGS 23:5
5 And he put down the idolatrous priests,
whom the kings of Judah had ordained to
burn incense in the high places in the cities
of Judah, and in the places round about
Jerusalem; them also that burned incense
unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and
to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
ISAIAH 34:4
4 And all the host of heaven shall be
dissolved, and the heavens shall be
rolled together as a scroll: and all their
host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth
off from the vine, and as a falling fig
from the fig tree.
MATTHEW 24:29
29 Immediately after the tribulation of
those days shall the sun be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light,
and the stars shall fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens shall be
shaken.
GENESIS 2:1
1 “Thus the heavens and the earth were
finished, and all the host of them.”
EXODUS 20:11
11 For in six days the LORD made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all that
in them is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore the LORD blessed the
sabbath day, and hallowed it.
• Since the Lord made the heaven,
the earth, the sea and everything in
them within His six day workweek
(which days were the same kind of
days that people work: see Exodus
20:9), the angels must also have
been created within that creation
week and not sometime before the
1st day of the week!
• Everything that the Lord Jesus made was
created within that original six day week.
• Nothing but God the Father, God the Son
and God the Holy Spirit existed before the
first day of the six day creation week.
JOB 1:6
6 Now there was a day when the sons of
God came to present themselves
before the LORD, and Satan
ccame also
among them. c Satan: Heb. the
adversary
“Sons of God” = Angels
JOB 38:7
4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations
of the earth? declare, if thou hast
understanding. 5 Who hath laid the
measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who
hath stretched the line upon it? 6
Whereupon are the foundations thereof
fastened? or who laid the corner stone
thereof; 7 When the morning stars (Mercury
and Venus?) sang together, and all the sons
of God shouted for joy?
• The angels seem to be observing God as He
creates. Could they have been created on
the first day of the creation week?
• Some people think that the angels were
created on day four of the creation week as
part of the heavenly host.
• The angels must have been created within
the original six day creation week since the
Creator, Lord Jesus, made everything that
He made within that six day week!
• Another reason that the angels must have
been created within the original six day week
is that everything is very good at that point.
• This would mean no sin, disease, death,
decay, thorns, fossil beds, rebellion, etc. yet.
• Lucifer must have fallen shortly after that 1st
week and Eve and Adam very soon after that
(Romans 5:12).
• A perfect man and woman with the command
of God to fill the earth could start having
babies at the end of the 1st nine months!
IN CONCLUSION:
• Angels are created beings.
• God made everything that He created
within the original six day creation
week.
• Therefore angels were created within
the original six day creation week!
IN CONCLUSION:
• It is likely that Lucifer fell shortly after the
original seven day week.
• Perhaps Lucifer became Satan on the first
day of the second week.
• Perhaps during that 2nd week Satan
through the serpent tempted Eve and she
and Adam sinned and the whole universe
was cursed by our holy God.
IN CONCLUSION:
God dealt with the serpent first: Genesis 3:14:
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent,
Because thou hast done this, thou art
cursed above all cattle, and above every
beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou
go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of
thy life:
IN CONCLUSION:
• After dealing with the serpent, but before
proclaiming the curse upon Adam and Eve,
God promises redemption for the now
unholy and unrighteous race of Adam,
Genesis 3:15:
• 15 And I will put enmity between thee and
the woman, and between thy seed and her
seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt
bruise his heel.
IN CONCLUSION:
• That redemption was to come in the
person of the Messiah, God’s only Son,
the Lord Jesus Christ, Who would come to
earth and dwell among people as a Man.
He would lead a sinless life and die on the
cross of Calvary to take the penalty and
punishment for the sins of His creation, the
race of Adam.
