Rom. 5:12

12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned—

I Cor. 15:21

21 For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.

Rom. 6:23

23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Gen. 1:2

“The earth was…”

Gen. 1:2

“…formless and void…”

Gen. 1:2

“… and darkness was over the surface of the deep…”

Gen. 1:2

“…  and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.…”

Move = (Rachaph) = Shake/Flutter

English = Vibrate

“If the earth is to be energized, there needs to be an energizer. If it is to be set into motion, there needs to be a Prime Mover.” - Henry Morris, The Genesis Record pg. 51

Genesis 1:2 says that once raw material was formed, it was energized and brought into its present form by Divine vibration initiated by the Holy Spirit.
