Introduction: The term "Ge" is not directly found in the Bible as a standalone word but is often associated with the Greek word "gē," meaning "earth" or "land." This concept is foundational in biblical theology, representing both the physical creation and the realm of human habitation. The earth is depicted as God's creation, subject to His authority and care.
Creation of the Earth: The Bible begins with the account of creation, where the earth is formed by the word of God.
Genesis 1:1 states, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." This verse establishes the earth as part of the divine creation, emphasizing its origin from God's creative power. The earth is described as initially formless and void, with darkness over the surface of the deep, until God commands light into existence (
Genesis 1:2-3).
The Earth in God's Plan: Throughout Scripture, the earth is portrayed as the stage for God's redemptive plan. It is where humanity is placed to live, work, and worship.
Genesis 2:15 highlights this purpose: "The LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to work it and keep it." The earth is a place of stewardship, where humans are called to manage and care for God's creation responsibly.
The Earth and the Fall: The fall of man introduced sin into the world, affecting the earth itself.
Genesis 3:17-18 records God's words to Adam: "Cursed is the ground because of you; through toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field." The earth, once a perfect habitat, now bears the consequences of human disobedience.
The Earth in Prophecy and Eschatology: Prophetic literature often speaks of the earth in terms of judgment and renewal.
Isaiah 24:1 declares, "Behold, the LORD lays waste to the earth and leaves it in ruins; He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants." Yet, the Bible also promises a future restoration.
Revelation 21:1 envisions a new heaven and a new earth, where the former things have passed away, and God dwells with His people.
The Earth and God's Sovereignty: The earth is consistently depicted as under God's sovereign control.
Psalm 24:1 affirms, "The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein." This verse underscores the belief that all creation belongs to God, and He exercises authority over it.
The Earth in Worship and Praise: The earth is frequently called to participate in the worship of God.
Psalm 96:11-12 invites creation to rejoice: "Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it. Let the fields exult, and all that is in them." The earth, as part of God's creation, is seen as a testament to His glory and majesty.
Conclusion: While the term "Ge" itself is not explicitly used in the Bible, the concept of the earth is integral to biblical theology. It serves as the setting for God's interaction with humanity, a place of both judgment and hope, and a testament to God's creative and sovereign power.
