THIS is one of many passages in Scripture which not only tells us that God is Creator of both heaven and earth, but also that He created them instantaneously. Creaton is not a "process," but a miraculous event! With a wave of the hand, so to speak, God simply called them into being.
It's a profound insight. I wish more people would take the time to understand God's authority. When God called for a thing, reality complied.

The world, and the one they follow, are always trying to make us believe some sort of magic is involved in God's power (so their counterfeits seem more plausible). That's nonsense. God speaks, and reality complies, and that's that. Where is there any room for or need of magic? There isn't. Matter and energy and fields do what God tells them to do. This is the very first law of nature.

This is also the testimony of the incomparable account of creation in Genesis. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). This primeval testimony does not say: "From the beginning God has been creating heaven and earth" as theistic evolutionists would say. Creation of all things was an event completed in the past.

The divinely inspired psalmist agrees: "By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth...For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast" (Psalm 33:6,9). "For he commanded and they were created. He hath also stablished them for ever and ever" (Psalm 148: 5-6).

Furthermore, according to our text, when God spoke into existence the heavens and the earth, they both proceeded to "stand up together!" He did not create the heavesn 15 billion years ago, then the earth only about five billion years ago, as some evolutionists allege. They stood up together! "In six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is (Exodus 20:11).

It is important to recognize the recent creation of all things, not only because God said, so, but also because the multi-billion-year framework of cosmic evolution, pushing God as far away and long ago as possible, is merely the modern pseudoscientific way of getting rid of Him altogether! Christians should not compromise with such a system!
