oday, ALL things show that God’s will IS the day! (Each day, and so they come… Amen. NOTHING! NO power, force, entity or spirit NONE can change what God speaks! Wow! He spoke and ALL the seen was created. Seen or scene…we can go on. The Scene is one of His GLORY! Is evidence of His power! Amen!!! As strong as some may profess our enemy to be. They did NOT create the universe. SO many things come to mind. All we see, experience, know is just a “WORD” in the hands of our Father! He spoke and it IS, Amen.
Yes, there were beings around the ark of the covenant in the days of Moses, but at creation, ALL beings were as created, with functions/jobs.
The age of the Earth is 4.54 ± 0.05 billion years (4.54 × 109 years ± 1%). This age may represent the age of the Earth’s accretion, of core formation, or of the material from which the Earth formed.
It is said in The Word that Satan was cast out of Heaven because of his desire to elevate himself. So many things can be said here:
We do not assume that The Word spends any time discussing what is finished, it would be a waste of time. Yes, we know that Satan (then Lucifer) was at the head of Angel’s. We read that he was cast down:
This is how we read what the Bible says about Satan’s ouster from heaven. God’s angels were present when God created the world. As we learn from Job 38:7, where we read that during creation “the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy”. From this we may conclude that Satan had not yet become God’s enemy at creation. Yet shortly after he fell, because he tempted Adam and Eve to sin (Genesis 3).
Through his sin, Satan lost his privileged position as one of God’s angels. Yet he still had access to God in heaven, as we read in Job 1:7: “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them”. Two Old Testament passages are often mentioned as referring to Satan being expelled from God’s presence: Isaiah 14:12-15 and Ezekiel 28:11-19. However, the primary reference seems to be to earthly kings rather than to Satan. So it is safer not to draw conclusions about Satan from these passages.
Satan fall
In the New Testament, Jesus refers to Satan’s fall twice. In Luke 10:17 He says “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven”. This is in response to the remark by the disciples that they cast out demons. Most likely Jesus means that the power of Satan is diminishing through the disciples ministring in Jesus’ power, rather than a literal fall from heaven. In John 12:31 He says “now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out”. Jesus says here that through His death on the cross, Satan and his kingdom are defeated. It is not clear whether Jesus is talking about a literal casting out of heaven.
Satan is defeated
In Revelation 12 John sees a vision of the rebellion of Satan against God. After a description of how Satan fights against Christ, it says: “Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven” (7-8). The conclusion of that is that “the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God” (10). From that it may be concluded that after Jesus broke Satan’s power by providing redemption for sin on the cross, Satan’s power to accuse was broken, and he lost the opportunity to stand before the throne of God like in the story of Job.
In summary, there are three major stages in Satan’s downfall. The first stage was when he rebelled against God and lost his position among God’s angels. The second stage was when Jesus broke his power through his death on the cross and took away his right to accuse the believers before God in heaven. The third stage will be at the end of the world when God will condemn Satan to hell.
There are two important passages in the Word of God concerning the origin and fall of Satan. The first passage relating to Satan’s fall is found in Ezekiel 28:12-19 where Ezekiel describes the creation and judgment of a vile and vicious non-human creature whose name we find out later to be Lucifer. The second passage relating to Satan’s fall is found in Isaiah 14:12-14 where the prophet Isaiah presents the origin and fall of Satan.
With reference to a “specific” time in history when Satan fell from Heaven, it must be stated that there is no clear revelation as to exactly when Satan fell, but here are limits to the possible time which we may deduce from biblical evidence. “. . . Based upon information gleaned from a comparison of Ezekiel 28:12-19 with Isaiah 14, Jude 6, and II Peter 2:4, and other passages, the following picture of Satan begins to emerge.
Satan was created as one of the host of angelic beings . . . an anointed cherub, i.e., the captain of the cherubic hosts. Sometime prior to the creation of the natural order, Satan became vain about his beauty and position, and his heart became rebellious against God.
Apparently, he was able to secure a considerable following among the angels, resulting in their expulsion from Heaven (Luke 10:18; II Peter 2:4; Jude 6; Revelation 12:4). Since that day, Satan devotes himself to opposing the work of God in every way possible and to attempting to destroy all of the good that God has created in the natural order. He (Satan) is allowed to continue this way for a period but will ultimately be confined to Hell for eternity” (Revelation 20:10).
As referenced above with the creation of the Universe, Glory was given to The Creator. “The morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy,”who what is described as the morning star? https://www.whatchristianswanttoknow.com/why-are-jesus-and-satan-referred-to-as-the-morning-star-in-the-bible/
From this we may conclude that Satan had not yet become God’s enemy at creation. he was created before The Universe was created. Age?
In 2012, WMAP estimated the age of the universe to be 13.772 billion years, with an uncertainty of 59 million years. In 2013, Planck measured the age of the universe at 13.82 billion years.
The phrase ‘time’ is our phrase – Human.
We live in a physical world with its four known space-time dimensions of length, width, height (or depth) and time. However, God dwells in a different dimension—the spirit realm—beyond the perception of our physical senses. It’s not that God isn’t real; it’s a matter of His not being limited by the physical laws and dimensions that govern our world (Isaiah 57:15). Knowing that “God is spirit” (John 4:24), what is His relationship to time?
In Psalm 90:4, Moses used a simple yet profound analogy in describing the timelessness of God: “For a thousand years in Your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.” The eternity of God is contrasted with the temporality of man. Our lives are but short and frail, but God does not weaken or fail with the passage of time.
In a sense, the marking of time is irrelevant to God because He transcends it. Peter, in 2 Peter 3:8, cautioned his readers not to let this one critical fact escape their notice—that God’s perspective on time is far different from mankind’s (Psalm 102:12, 24-27). The Lord does not count time as we do. He is above and outside of the sphere of time. God sees all of eternity’s past and eternity’s future. The time that passes on earth is of no consequence from God’s timeless perspective. A second is no different from an eon; a billion years pass like seconds to the eternal God.
All of a sudden many things become crystal clear. Do your part and God will Do His! We are asked to be and do – a certain way. As humans and even afterward, there are limits. We are told what is permitted in our Earthly existence. Yes, we want to attain a more lofty goal.

Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.” Habakuk 2:3
“For, “In just a little while,

Hebrews 10:37
“But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9
To round this sharing up, we wait on The LORD! Cry out to Him in a non-ending torrent of emotion. WE have ‘time’ against us! God does not have ‘time’. Our brief understanding is a 24 ‘hour’ period is as a Thosandcyears. This was eons ago, now with more precise measurements AND the passage of time. We can understand that Jesus was here two short periods ago, Amen. Not just that… God spoke of His coming eons before it happened:
