Creation of the Spiritual World

[C. Matthew McMahon]

We know God created the heavens and the earth.

What about the creation of the spiritual world?

What do you think are the best verses in which the Bible teaches the creation of a spiritual world?

WCF chapter IV
of Creation


I. It pleased God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, for the manifestation of the glory of his eternal power, wisdom, and goodness, in the beginning, to create, or make of nothing, the world, and all things therein whether visible or invisible, in the space of six days; and all very good.

Jeremiah 10:12. He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

Psalm 33:5-6 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

Colossians 1:16. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.

of course then it is usually asked if these verses are speaking of Heaven as in the sky, outerspace, or the "Spiritual World"

In a simple way of avoiding the quesition i might say that when Jesus says that His "Kingdom is not of this world." (John 18:36) I take that as fact and dont worry too much about when and how it got there. Just glad it's there and that I'm going.
