Before the beginning, there was no Heaven and no planets hovering in the
darkness nor stars burning brightly. It was a gap between the end of all
things, and the beginning of all things. Nothing lived, and nothing was dead.
All was new and crisp and beautiful, yet dark, ugly, old at the same time.
Now God saw all that He had created, and it facing oblivion, and all that was
too be created, and the unlimited possibilities of it. All things were destroyed,
and God proceeded to unmake the entire universe. God kept all of the
individuals from all the universe that He cared for under His wing, and they
endured oblivion. All things were destroyed, and God started anew. I should
not say ‘anew’, however, because there was no longer any ‘old’. All things
were made new, and eternity survived. God saw that it was good, and all of
his faithful creations saw that it was good, too. God decided to create a place
for them to live outside of energy and matter, and they called it
Ginnungagap, for it was between darkness and nothingness and fullness of
life.
