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)
