Did God create the earth "without form and void," or did something catastrophic happen between the first two verses of the Bible? In this Bible study, Les Feldick examines Genesis 1:1–5 to uncover the mystery of the "Gap" and the fall of Lucifer. Discover what the Bible really says about the original creation, the "first flood," and why the earth had to be restored for mankind.

Summary:
Les Feldick opens this lesson by contrasting the perfect creation in Genesis 1:1 with the chaos and darkness found in Genesis 1:2. Using Scripture to interpret Scripture, Les takes us to Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14 to identify the cause of this destruction: the rebellion of Lucifer.

You will learn about the "five I wills" of Satan, his original position as the anointed cherub in Eden, and the judgment that likely caused the earth to become covered in water and darkness. This study provides a fascinating look at the timeline of creation and helps answer difficult questions about the age of the earth and the origin of evil.
