Satan thrown down like lightning was about the prehistoric war that was fought on earth before Adam was created!
Its why we find fossils today of animals that have nothing to do with this creation.
Jeremiah was dealing with the degenerated - murderous - rebellious Jewish people.
To tell them how severe they were going to be judged by God?
Jeremiah cited Genesis 1:2!
Why Genesis 1:2? It was to warn them of how severe God was going to judge them!
When citing Genesis 1:2 in the Hebrew the Jews knew Hebrew did not need to look at a concordance.
They knew what Jeremiah was prophesying about for them!
Just the same..
Jeremiah needed to add something after citing Genesis 1:2.
Added as to let the Jews know something.
That unlike what the earth had become in Genesis 1:2?
In their case, unlike the earth was found in 1:2, they would not be utterly destroyed!
Utter destruction is what we find in the Hebrew describing the earth in Genesis 1:2!
Meaning...
Unlike the destruction the earth faced in Genesis 1:2?
Their land and life would not be utterly destroyed!
Destroyed as God had done to the prehistoric world!
That is why Satan was THROWN DOWN to earth like lightning!
Which resulted in the extinction of the dinosaurs!
Which some scientists now hypothesize was destruction by a giant asteroid.
Satan had been the morning star angel to bring light to earth for mornings in the prehistoric world!
Jeremiah 4:21-28
21
How long must I see the battle standard
and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22
“My people are fools;
they do not know me.
They are senseless children;
they have no understanding.
They are skilled in doing evil;
they know not how to do good.”
23
I looked at the earth,
and it was formless and empty;
and at the heavens,
and their light was gone. verse 23 was from Genesis 1:2 in the Hebrew!)
24
I looked at the mountains,
and they were quaking;
all the hills were swaying.
25
I looked, and there were no people;
every bird in the sky had flown away.
26
I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert;
all its towns lay in ruins
before the Lord, before his fierce anger.
27 This is what the Lord says:
“The whole land will be ruined,
though I will not destroy it completely.
28
Therefore the earth will mourn
and the heavens above grow dark,
because I have spoken and will not relent,
I have decided and will not turn back.”
Verse 27 was saying that unlike Genesis 1:2, that
this time the earth would not utterly be destroyed!!!!
There is much truth yet to learn!
That was the time when Satan was thrown down like lightning!
Some must act stupid as to not get it.
