Subject: gap between Gensis 1:1 and Gensis 1:2 |
Bible Note: Greetings TKO, I believe that Isaiah 45:18 could not serve in any way to support what is known as "The Gap Theory." All Isaiah 45:18 tells us is that the earth was created to be inhabited. It is interesting to read Genesis 1:1,2 and Isaiah 45:18 in light of such verses as Exodus 20:11 and 31:17, which clearly say that the world was created in six literal days, even making it a 'sign' to be understood by the Israelites in Exodus 31:17..
