Bible - Creation and New Creation

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Genesis 1:1 NASB, NLT, NIV)

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. (Revelation 21:1 ESV)

Between the creation and new creation are recorded the acts of God, what He had done, and the prophecies, what He will do, to bring about the new creation. All the acts of God are done on earth, in this dimension, verifiable, auditable, so as to prove God, who is transcendent and unapproachable. Some of the prophecies given are fulfilled, others awaiting fulfillment.

Many refused to believe in God, resisting the Bible even from Genesis 1:1. They came up with their own theory, created religions and philosophies, explaining why the world was suffering and provided their own solution.

Others accepted Genesis 1:1, believed that there is a creator, but they want share the glory of the creator. They cannot accept that the world is created for the glory of the creator and wanted to recreate the world in their own way. So they created a creator in their own image, wrote their own books where they can have a leading role. But their books cannot be added to the Bible, because leading role in the Bible was given to Jesus.

He said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand. (Daniel 12:9-10 ESV)

And he said to me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy." (Revelation 22:10-11 ESV)
