Bible Question: I'm not talking about Armegeddon. I'm concerned with what was happening around creation. Was the earth being "without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of th deep" a reference to Satan being cast down to this earth and causing havoc until God decided to intervene and give it its present shape, structure and order? This is my question. I know that Satan was in the Garden of Eden because he "entered into the serpant" and deceived Eve. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Dweaver! What you are referring to is called the "Gap Theory". If you do a search, you will find many posts on this topic. My short answer would be that there isn't any Biblical evidence of any kind of "Gap" where Satan caused havoc prior to the Creation account of Genesis. I hope this helps!
