Subject: Earth was without form, and void. |
Bible Note: Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. *without form and void* "Jeremiah 4:23-27 ; Isaiah 24:1 clearly indicate that the earth had undergone a cataclysmic change as the result of divine judgment. The face of the earth bears everywhere the marks of such a catastrophe. There are not wanting intimations which connect it with a previous testing and fall of angels. "See Ezekiel 28:12-15; Isaiah 14:9-14 which certainly go beyond the kings of Tyre and Babylon." Scofield, C.I. "Scofield Reference Notes on Genesis 1". "Scofield Reference Notes (1917 Edition)".
