In the beginning God, this is how it starts, from our record anyway, found in Genesis chapter one. Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
It is this God, who created the heaven and the earth. This word, created is ‘bara’, which means to create something out of nothing.
created-bara 1254), “to create, make.” This verb is of profound theological significance, since it has only God as its subject. Only God can “create” in the sense implied by bara?. The verb expresses creation out of nothing, an idea seen clearly in passages having to do with creation on a cosmic scale: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Gen. 1:1; cf. Gen. 2:3; Isa. 40:26; 42:5).
It is here that to create something out of nothing is that which God does. But as we look at this, let us consider what is ‘chaos’? Itself Chaos or Chaotic, means ‘lacking visible order or discipline’. It can also mean ‘unordered, unpredictable, and confusing’. Nearest synonym is ‘disorderly and helter skelter’. These meanings are dictionary meanings. From a biblical point of view, chaos itself is seen in the bible and is called ‘a place of confusion’. That is what it was ‘in the beginning’ if you were a man looking on. This confusion comes from our lack of understanding and knowledge of God. For He is and always has been.
