Some have asked how we know that heaven was created before earth other than in Genesis 1:1. Here is how it is described in Job 38:4 — 7, “Where were you when I made the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off how big it should be?  Surely you know! What were the earth’s foundations set on? Or who put its cornerstone in place Who did all this while the morning stars sang together? Who did this while the angels shouted with joy?”
