25 Bible Verses about Creation Of The Physical Heavens

In the beginning God (Elohim) created [by forming from nothing] the heavens and the earth.

So the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts (inhabitants).

For all the gods of the peoples are [lifeless] idols,
But the Lord made the heavens.

Hiram said also, “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given King David a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, who will build a house for the Lord and a royal palace for himself.

[And Ezra said],
“You are the Lord, You alone;
You have made the heavens,
The heaven of heavens with all their host (the heavenly bodies),
The earth and everything that is on it,
The seas and everything that is in them.
You give life to all of them,
And the heavenly host is bowing down [in worship] to You.

Who alone stretches out the heavens
And tramples down the waves of the sea;

When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have established,

The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And the expanse [of heaven] is declaring the work of His hands.

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made,
And all their host by the breath of His mouth.

For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.

Praise Him, highest heavens,
And the waters above the heavens!

Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For He commanded and they were created.

He has also established them forever and ever;
He has made a decree which shall not pass away.

“When He established the heavens, I [Wisdom] was there;
When He drew a circle upon the face of the deep,

“O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, who is enthroned above the cherubim, You are the God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.

It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;
[It is He] who stretches out the heavens like a veil
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

This is what God the Lord says,

He who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread out the earth and its produce,
Who gives breath to the people on it
And spirit to those who walk on it,

For the Lord, who created the heavens (He is God, who formed the earth and made it; He established it and did not create it to be a wasteland, but formed it to be inhabited) says this,

“I am the Lord, and there is no one else.

“I made the earth and created man upon it.
My hands, stretched out the heavens,
And I commanded all their host.

God made the earth by His power;
He established the world by His wisdom
And by His understanding and skill He has stretched out the heavens.

‘Ah Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! There is nothing too difficult or too wonderful for You—

He made the earth by His power;
He established the world by His wisdom
And stretched out the heavens by His understanding.

And when they heard it, they raised their voices together to God and said, “O Sovereign Lord [having complete power and authority], it is You who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything that is in them,

“Men, why are you doing these things? We too are only men of the same nature as you, bringing the good news to you, so that you turn from these useless and meaningless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything that is in them.

And,

“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
And the heavens are the works of Your hands;

and swore [an oath] by [the name of] Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, that there will be delay no longer,

and he said with a loud voice, “Fear God [with awe and reverence], and give Him glory [and honor and praise in worship], because the hour of His judgment has come; [with all your heart] worship Him who created the heaven and the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”
