@PaulVargas That is in there!

Ouch! Character count exceeded! I've never had that happen before. Time to edit.

Edited and posted.

Good night all.

@FrankLuke Great answer! ;)

@AJHenderson Any suggestions as to how to fix it?

@FrankLuke I have this feeling you were just warming up your keyboard...is there a book in there (somewhere)? Awesome answer, and yet you can see from reading Joseph's response how 'romantic' the idea can be.

@FrankLuke Job 38:6 could suggest that the angels were created before the earth. Perhaps in one of the six days. I got a little confused. :/

@FrankLuke Great jooorb!!! :)

@PaulVargas I imagine there's more editing to do there. I tried to steer clear of the angel issue because I knew that was going to make it too long. Did I wind up going into it? I'm a little foggy right now. Our basement was flooded this morning.

@PaulVargas Thank you!

@user2479 Thank you! I started that Sunday morning. It's the fastest I've ever written a paper like that. It could have been a term paper. As to a book, I've been considering taking some of my apologetics papers and putting the together. I lost some of my best in a hard drive crash, but this would definitely be part. And there were parts of the gap theory that I completely skipped. I did nothing with the angel's rebellion, Lucifer's Eden.

@Davïd Thank you.

@FrankLuke I've had a chance to read through it more slowly now. :) The benefit of being the "OP" is that I get to say "thankyou" in SE terms twice (UV + "Check")!

@FrankLuke I was thinking about helping you out with some links to GKC, etc., but possibly you've hit the character limit? (And people who care can find the relevant paragraphs quickly enough.)

@Davïd It stands at ~29,394 characters. I wouldn't mind the links at all, but it might be too close.

@FrankLuke Nice - "about 29,394 characters" :)) Will leave the links!

I also like this as a short, simple orientation to Hebrew parallelism, but I don't think it helps much with your closing section (where you use Ps 1 as example)...
