Why do some Christian claim there are but 3 earth ages, when the Lamb of God shows John that there are 7 earth ages known as the 7 seals?

Mainly it's because they force their own interpretation into scripture.

This is also why there are some 40,000 different 'christian' religions.

The bible does not teach '3 or 7 earth ages'.

Actually the 7 seals have nothing to do with 'earth ages' but symbolic plagues that are coming to the earth, during the Lord's day. All 7 seals occur in 'one symbolic day'.

(Revelation 1:10) 10 By inspiration I came to be in the Lord’s day, . . .

Revelation 6, the four horsemen, agree with Matthew 24, the signs of the last days.

So the last days prior to Jesus' return, is the start of the Lord's day.

In our current life time, we have experienced many of the 'seals' being opened.

Christianity is the religion based upon what Jesus said and did. Revelation is a badly translated Gnostic work that only made the final cut of the canon of Christian literature because 2nd century Greeks liked doing the puzzles. It only makes sense in Koine Greek (it was specifically written to be nonsense if translated to Latin - that saved you being fed to the lions if you were caught with a copy). Any religion based that relies upon Revelation is certainly not Christian.

The seals are IN your forehead. They are knowledge of the 7 vials and trumpets sealed IN your forehead, which is in your brain. How do you get 7 ages out of those events?

The three ages are shown throughout God's Word, starting in Genesis when God says *replenish* indicating the first age was destroyed and the earth needed replenishing. Genesis 1:28 KJV And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and *replenish* the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

The three heaven and earth ages are written of in 2 Peter 3 KJV among other places in God's Word.

2 Peter 3:1 KJV This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: 3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

How do you know if someone is a false teacher? You ask them to document in His Word what they are saying that God said and you check it out for yourself. Merely mentioning some Scripture is not enough. That Scripture must be specific and pertain to the subject when read in context and be harmonious within the rest of God's Word. There will be 2 witnesses of agreeing Scripture in His Word for what God said.

1 John 4:1 KJV Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

"was" or "became"?

(Genesis 1:2)

Gen 1:2 And the earth became without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

"Some scholars also argue against translating hayah "became" instead of "was" in Genesis 1:2 because they assume this interpretation came about only recently, after geology revealed the strata of the earth to be very old. Thus they consider this explanation a desperate attempt to reconcile the Genesis account with modern geology. The explanation that there existed an indefinite period between the initial beautiful creation described in Genesis 1:1 and the earth becoming waste and void in verse 2 has been called, sometimes disparagingly, "the gap theory." The idea was attributed to Thomas Chalmers in the 19th century and to Cyrus Scofield in the 20th.

Yet the interpretation that the earth "became" waste and void has been discussed for close to 2,000 years:

• The earliest known recorded controversy on this point can be attributed to Jewish sages at the beginning of the second century. The Hebrew scholars who wrote the Targum of Onkelos, the earliest of the Aramaic versions of the Old Testament, translated Genesis 1:2 as "and the earth was laid waste." The original language led them to understand that something had occurred that had "laid waste" the earth, and they interpreted this as a destruction.

• The early Catholic theologian Origen (186-254), in his commentary De Principiis, explains regarding Genesis 1:2 that the original earth had been "cast downwards" (Ante-Nicene Fathers, 1917,

p. 342).

• In the Middle Ages the Flemish scholar Hugo St. Victor (1097-1141) wrote about Genesis 1:2: "Perhaps enough has already been debated about these matters thus far, if we add only this, 'how long did the world remain in this disorder before the regular re-ordering . . . of it was taken in hand?'" (De Sacramentis Christianae Fidei, Book 1, Part I, Chapter VI). Other medieval scholars, such as Dionysius Peavius and Pererius, also considered that there was an interval between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.

• According to The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, the Dutch scholar Simon Epíscopius (1583-1643) taught that the earth had originally been created before the six days of creation described in Genesis (1952, Vol. 3, p. 302). This was roughly 200 years before geology discovered evidence for the ancient origin of earth.

These numerous examples show us that the idea of an interval between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 has a long history. Any claim that it is of only recent origin-that it was invented simply as a desperate attempt to reconcile the Genesis account with geology-is groundless.

Perhaps the best treatment on both sides of this question is given by the late Arthur Custance in his book Without Form and Void: A Study of the Meaning of Genesis 1:2. Dr. Custance states, "To me, this issue is important, and after studying the problem for some thirty years and after reading everything I could lay my hands on pro and con and after accumulating in my own library some 300 commentaries on Genesis, the earliest being dated 1670, I am persuaded that there is, on the basis of the evidence, far more reason to translate Gen. 1:2 as 'But the earth had become a ruin and a desolation, etc.' than there is for any of the conventional translations in our modern versions" (1970, p. 7)."

there is the Creation of this planet or made habitable.

The fall of the first humans and the ages where enough righteous people is born and died to be resurrected to fill the earth with righteous people. That's it and it is that simple. www.jw.org
