GENESIS 131-21

• 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.

3
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 513-15

• 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
  LORDS 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 2219

• 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.

6
DANIEL 810

• 10 And it (the little horn) waxed great, even to
  the host?c? of 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 1482, 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.

8

• 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 419a
• 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 235

• 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.

10
ISAIAH 344

• 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.

11
MATTHEW 2429

• 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.

12

• GENESIS 21
• 1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished,
  and all the host of them.
• EXODUS 2011
• 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.

13

• 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 209), the angels
  must also have been created within that creation
  week and not sometime before the 1st day of the
  week!

14

• 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.

15
JOB 16

• 6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came
  to present themselves before the LORD, and
  Satan?c? came also among them. c Satan Heb. the
  adversary
• Sons of God Angels

16
JOB 387

• 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?

17

• 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!

18

• 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 512).
• 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!

19
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!

20
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.

21
IN CONCLUSION

• God dealt with the serpent first Genesis 314
  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

22
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 315
• 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.

23
IN CONCLUSION

• That redemption was to come in the person of the
  Messiah, Gods 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.
