I hope this will be a great blessing to all Christians …

Jesus is everything … He is the Creator and the Sustainer of "all things".

To me, this verse has now taken on a whole new meaning:
“... Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.†(1 Corinthians 8:6)

God SPOKE everything into existence (Genesis 1) … His spoken WORD is incredibly powerful.

“He (Jesus) was clothed with a robe dipped in blood,
and His name is called The Word of God.†(Revelation 19:13)

“All things were made through Him (the Word), and without Him nothing was made
that was made. … And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us …†(John 1:1-14)

“He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth,
visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.
All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things,
and in Him all things consist (hold together).†(Colossians 1:15-17)

“… His Son, whom He (Father God) has appointed heir of things,
through whom also He made the worlds;
who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person,
and upholding (sustaining) all things by the word of His power …†(Hebrews 1:2-3).

Molecular scientists say only one-millionth of an atom consists of solid matter,
and all the rest is EMPTY SPACE!

At the center of an atom is a positively-charged nucleus.
At a relatively great distance from the nucleus are one or more negatively-charged electrons.
Electrons circle around the nucleus at an incredible speed.
This is similar to a fan blade … both the atom and the fan appear to be totally SOLID.

The Force-A of attraction between the electron (negative) and the nucleus (positive)
must be exactly equal to the Force-B velocity of the moving electron …
in order for it to maintain its’ perfect circular pattern.

IF Jesus commanded, “All electrons slow down†…
Forces-A would be greater than Forces-B, causing all electrons to collapse into their nuclei.

IF Jesus commanded, “All electrons speed up†…
Forces-B would be greater than Forces-A, causing all electrons to fly off into space.

IF Jesus commanded either of these two things …
all atoms would disintegrate (disappear), leaving basically nothing at all.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [KJV]

In this one verse, the Bible covers billions of years. From the scientific Big Bang Theory, the universe appears to be about 13.75 billion years old while the Earth appears to be about 4.54 billion years old. God exists outside of time, so time began at the Big Bang. During this time period, God created Angels.

Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Job 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? [KJV]

The Angels were rejoicing when God created the still expanding universe. And it is all held together, the expanding universe, by the Word of God, Jesus Christ.

So no one misunderstands me, I am an Old Earth Creationist and believe in six literal days of creation. My viewpoint is best represented by the Gap Theory.
