APPENDIX D

The Gap Theory mistakenly states that Jesus made two creations with the first being in Gen1:1 and the second in Gen 1:2, and these  two creations were separated by what they call Satan or Lucifer’s flood.

Now according to the Gappists, Lucifer was given the first creation on earth to inhabit but he destroyed it. So Jesus flooded the whole earth after Gen 1:1 and started again with his second creation in Gen 1:2.

Now as support for their theory, the Gappists mistakenly use the following verse, not realizing that it refers to Noah’s flood.

“For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of OLD, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the WORLD that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:” (2 Pet 3:5-6).

For proof of this, we backtrack one chapter where we have the account of Noah’s flood. “And spared not the OLD WORLD, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;” (2 Pet 2:5)
