Dcontroversial, and yet God pronounced his creation good, even though you believe Satan had already fallen to earth? I don't think so. He most likely was thrown from Heaven (not fell) after God had finished creating everything.
LClark, verse one introduces the events that follow. It's an important and common form of beginning a narrative. Provide the introduction to what will happen and then explain the events in detail. That's all it is. Not creation taking place in one day!
If you notice and re-read the account of creation there is one element that was not called good and that was the heaven.
Vs. 3-4 Light God saw as good
Vs. 6-8 God divides the waters by a firmament, calls firmament HEAVEN and nothing about it being good
Vs. 9-10 Gathering of waters and appearance of dry land...called good
Vs. 11-13 Grass, fruit trees, herbs...called good
Vs. 14-19 Sun, moon and stars and division of light and darkness...called good NOTE VS 11-12 before SUNLIGHT
Vs. 20-22 Waters bring forth sea life, other creatures and NOTE BIRDS...called good
Vs. 24-25 Creatures of the earth brought forth...called good
Vs.26-28 Man/Woman...not particularly called good as the above were.
Vs. 31 Generalized statement about everything made and it being good.
The word (good) in the Hebrew is applied in a very wide and broad sense such as good, goodly, beautiful, abundant, bountiful, pleasant, pleaseth, pleasing and two dozen other variations and understood in this manner gives new life into it's application above. Having said that, there are numerous things to consider with the above use of good or lack thereof such as
1. good is not applied to the heaven which is between the waters that have been divided...this would be the air where birds, jets and missiles fly. It was not good because
the prince of the power of the air and his hierarchal dominion as found in Ephesians were already here.
2. It is interesting to note that the birds came from the water as most people will answer this question wrong.
3. Use the broad range of the word good and it's application to creation.
4. God creating the grass, trees etc. before the creation of the sun...goes in the face of evolutionists.
Like God made the sun, moon and stars and saw that it was Beautiful (good)
or God made the birds of the air and saw that they were abundant and pleasing (good)
God made the beasts of the earth and saw that they were bountiful (good)
With the broad application of the word itself I have no problem in applying it in the above fashion. Just my view mi amigo.
