where was thou when I laid the foundations of the earth declare if thou
hast understanding who laid the measures thereof if thou knowest or who has
stretched the line upon it whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened or who
laid the cornerstone thereof when the morning stars sang together and all the
sons of God shouted for joy now this is an often misunderstood passage because
what people will try to make this say is they'll try to say that at the
creation of the earth they'll try to say that at the creation of the earth like
Genesis 1 1 you know God created the heaven and the earth that at the
creation of the earth that's when the morning stars sang together and the sons
of God shouted for joy now this is false is not true because of the fact that
when God created the earth he created the earth out of nothing it was a it was
that out of nothing creation in the beginning God created the heaven and the
earth now when it says God created the heaven and the earth in verse 1 it's not
talking about the sky it's when it says the heaven and the earth talking about
the place where God lives heaven the third heaven the place where God lives
was created in verse 1 and the place where we live was created in verse 1 the
heaven and the earth you say well how do you know that pastor Anderson and that's
why I don't like how the modern versions say in the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth because that makes it sound like he just created the sky
right but stop and think about it friend God creates the sky on day two so how
did he create the sky in verse 1 and the what he's created again because what does
he create on the second day creates the firmament which is the sky and he says
God called the firmament heaven God called the firmament heaven so that
heaven there are three heavens in the Bible there's the sky the atmosphere
then there's outer space where the stars are and then there's the place where God
lives the third most distant heaven so you have three levels of heaven there
you have the sky outer space and the place where God lives so what did God
create in verse 1 he created the heaven and the earth the place where he lives
and the earth where we live and of course the earth was without form and
void and then he says let there be light and he creates the light he creates the
sky he creates the dry land and the seas he creates the plants the animals and so
forth now here's why that matters the Bible says that in six days God created
the heaven the earth and everything in them so guess what before Genesis 1 1
there were no angels in the beginning was the word the word was with God the
word was God in the beginning you have God creating everything else out of
nothing the angels are created beings they don't go all the way back with God
like before Genesis 1 1 or something no no you have God creating everything out
of nothing only God in existence does everybody understand what I'm saying he
created heaven and the angels the cherry bins the seraphim those are all created
beings Satan himself is a created being we're all created beings none of us is
eternal as far as going all the way back with the Father the Son and the Holy
Ghost God has that distinction of being the one who is eternal okay so therefore
no it's not like God created the earth and the angels are all going hooray
wrong in fact if you study what does the Bible actually say look at what the
Bible actually says in verse 6 where upon are the foundations thereof fastened
and look at this who laid the cornerstone thereof when the morning
stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy in fact the sons of
God shouted for joy and the morning stars sang together when the cornerstone
was laid which is not the creation of the earth consistently study your Bible
look up every time cornerstone is mentioned Jesus is the cornerstone over
and over again Jesus is the cornerstone Jesus is the cornerstone you know the
stone which the builders rejected the same has become the head of the corner
and you have verse after verse after verse Jesus Christ himself being the
chief cornerstone now what did the Bible say in the book of John when Jesus
confronted the Pharisees he said Abraham rejoiced to see my day and was glad so
that shows you know Abraham's in heaven and when he saw Jesus Christ come on the
scene he saw it and he rejoiced so it makes sense that when the cornerstone is
laid at the coming of Christ you have the sons of God like Abraham Isaac Jacob
and every other saved believer because the children of God are those who
believe on Jesus Christ you have the sons of God like Abraham Isaac and Jacob
rejoicing and being glad and then you have the morning stars singing together
the morning stars are the angels why because I showed you some scriptures
where stars represent angels okay the morning stars saying together now do we
have any scripture to back up the fact that when Jesus Christ came into this
world the angels sang do we have any evidence of that yeah because what
happened when the shepherds get the message about Christ all of a sudden
there's a whole host of the heavenly host praising God okay now do we have
any scriptures about the angels cheering and rejoicing when God created the
heaven and the earth in Genesis 1 1 there's nothing to support that read
Genesis 1 and there's no mention of the angels playing a part in creation or
being a cheerleading section during creation but when Christ is born what
do we see see the angels praising God rejoicing the whole heavenly host the
morning stars are singing together and the sons of God are shouting for joy
that's the proper interpretation of this verse okay
