The Gap Theory

Missionary Evangelist Robert Breaker talks about "The Gap Theory," being careful to explain WHAT it is, and WHERE it is found in the Bible. He also shows the various beliefs about this theory, and the verses people use to show exactly what happens during this proposed "gap."

Original sin = own will. When u do YOUR own will it will always lead you to sin. Jesus did not do His own will, but the will of the Father! When we have self control and deny ourselves and do the Will of the Father, we can defeat sin through Christ in us.

[@Filippa698]

Original sin was the Lack of Faith. Think about it! This First Sin gave way to all others. The Faith theme is throughout the Old Testament and was reiterated and emphasized by Jesus in the New One. He said to Thomas: "You believe because you have seen. Blessed are those who believe, yet have not seen." God wants us to believe in Him, and not repeat the mistake of His first created humans. Adam and Eve did not trust God to tell them the Truth, even though they saw Him. From that time on, God wanted people to believe in Him, even though they did not see Him. Otherwise, what would be the meaning of Faith which is required of us? It is all about faith! Faith that is not dumb or blind. Faith in God and His ways which are greater than ours.

[@Filippa698]

Lack of Faith is the original sin concerning Adam and Eve. Re. Satan, his sins must have been those of pride, vanity, grandiosity, narcissism, envy, greed, violence, thievery, etc. He thought and tried to dispossess God. These are the same sins we find in his human followers.

[@NochEnathan]

All flesh is sin. Jesus who knew no sin became sin for us by putting on the flesh. He did not take on the sins of the world at the cross, he was God in flesh of man. Jesus cried out to the Father because he is the Father, he can pray to none higher. There was none other to give him a name! If you see Jesus, you see the Father. He & the Father are one.

[@jaredmiller2237]

I feel I must point out that the word replenish was used in the original 1611 King James Bible, but in those days the word replenish only meant “fill”. It wasn’t until the 1800’s or so that the dictionary added a second definition of “ fill again”. Newer publications then swapped the primary and secondary meanings. Now the newest dictionaries only have the definition of “fill again“. Same with the word “let”, in 1611 “let” meant “to hinder”, now it means the exact opposite. It’s amazing how Satan has changed the definition of words through the centuries to confuse and divide us.

[@JamesThomas-dn6hz]

Yes, it's actually what we call a transitive verb which in the webster 1828 still means to fill or to complete. God's order to man was to complete the earth through reproduction. One usually asks why replenish only twice in the Bible? Because only twice did He need it filled and it is a word He designated only for human life to show our distinct difference from animals. Almost like He knew people would come up with evolution so He used different words to separate life from rocks, and animals from man.

Good Silas. You are right. The teaching has a lot of injections of personal thoughts and misinterpretation. The word replenish must be fill from the original Hebrew. Without form and void from the original root does not mean destroy or chaos. It means formless and empty. This is because it's yet to be made. Create and Made are two different words in the Hebrew. Making is the establishment of form on that which was created formless. Also, nowhere in the whole bible did it say God REcreated the Earth. He only created once and that was it.

Become a Flat Earther (don't join any flat earth society or anything, keep yourself grounded in Christ and the Bible) 2. Look into "Mud Fossils" (again, don't join any mud fossil university, keep in Christ) 3. Deny the evil blood-drenched title "Christian", and reject their multi-god doctrines, of one is the sun-god, then there is their Mars-god, Jupiter-god etc. (do not join any anti trinity "Christian" cult, but always keep yourself IN Christ and the Bible! 4. Do Not Use any of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Book of Enoch or any of those books to fill in any gaps in the Bible, .. you can read them, just as you can read the Koran, the Book of Mormon, the Satanic Bible, but only so you teach against them. There are no gaps in the Bible, you just have to dig, listen to others etc. Obviously God is waking you up, .. but it's like after surgery and you're coming out of that deep sleep, and you really don't want to wake fully up, so after a long time the nurses grab you and get you on your feet so you would not catch pneumonia, that pain/adrenalin of the surgery like lightening shoots through your body and wakes you up, .. that's how you will feel once you go through those few things I mentioned above.

I agree with when you said we will not know for sure until we are face to face with God himself BUT my personal opinion is that we are living in the first earth still, considering Revelation 21:1 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea." And regarding the earth being "without form and void" I believe it is due to the fact that it was entirely water....and water technically has no form....and since there was no creation, no life, no light, it was still void.

When we look at the word "was" in Genesis 2:2, there are different meanings for this word in Hebrew. This word, "was" can be used to mean "to be" or "become" or "come to pass" or "exist" or "happen" or "fall out." If you want to support the Gap Theory, you will say that the word "was" means "to become" or "come to pass." If you don't believe the Gap Theory, then you will say that the word "was" means "to be" or "exist." How can the word seemingly support both ideas?

[@twsartadventures3660]

"The gap theory is disallowed by Hebrew grammar because verse 2 uses a “vav disjunctive. When “vav” is followed by a verb. ... This grammatical construction is called a “vav consecutive.” Genesis 1:3 through the end of the chapter are all vav consecutives. They all have “and” followed by a verb in the original Hebrew Word order: “And said God… And saw God… And called God…” indicating they are reporting historical events chronologically. However, Genesis 1:2 uses a Hebrew grammatical construction called a “vav disjunctive” which is the Hebrew “and” followed by a non-verb, such as “the earth.” This construction indicates that what follows is a comment or explanation of what came before it. It is similar to how we use parenthesis in English. Thus, Genesis 1:2 is a comment on Genesis 1:1. This vav disjunctive disallows any gap of time between verse 1 and 2 because verse 2 does not follow in time. On the contrary, verse 2 is explaining and clarifying verse 1. It describes the conditions that existed when God first created the heaven and the Earth - namely, when God first created heaven and earth, the earth was formless and empty and dark. Why was the Earth formless and empty and dark? Was it because of some disaster? No, it was because God had not yet formed it and filled it, and had not yet created light. Genesis 1:2 clarifies the conditions that existed on Earth when God first created it. There is good reason for such clarification. A person reading Genesis 1:1 for the first time might erroneously assume that God created the heaven and earth just as they are today - an earth with continents and rolling hills and full of life and light. Genesis 1:2 exists to clarify that this was not the case. When God first created the Earth, it was dark, and without form, and empty; that is the meaning of verse 2. The Earth was not dark, formless, and empty because of some disaster. Rather, it is because God had not yet created light, and had not yet formed the earth (given it continents separated from oceans), and had not yet filled the earth with plants and animals. The rest of Genesis then explains how the Earth became illuminated with light, shaped into continents and oceans, and filled with plants and animals, over the course of six days from its initial state of dark, formless and empty." biblicalscienceinstitute.com/uncategorized/the-gap-theory/

Those arguing about "replenish" need to keep in mind our modern definitions are different than those of old (archaic)... even so, the original hebrew word in any context simply means "to fill; complete" and doesn't imply "again." The word is used multiple times (242) and only 7 of those times is translated "replenish(ed)." I understand why many are die-hard KJV enthusiasts, but our our modern language isn't like how it used to be. We don't say "I wot not" anymore, we say "I don't know." Versions like the NKJV and the NIV still honor the original language, but in a more modernized tongue that we all can understand. Translations, by nature/definition, are to make something understandable to those who can't understand it. Sorry for the tangent... my point is: chocolate milk is awesome.

[@ianmcdonald8648]

Ernest, I am glad that you raise this point - "the original hebrew word in any context simply means "to fill; complete" and doesn't imply "again." Many English translations versions show the word 'replenish' or 'refill'. "eSword" lists a number of versions in its resource. APB has fill. ASV has replenish Brenton has fill Darby has fill GW has fill JPS has replenish KJV replenish LITV fill MKJV fill Webster has replenish YLT has fill Stong's Concordance has this entry for KJV 'replenish'. Hebrew - "H 4390 - מלא מלא mâlê' mâlâ' - maw-lay', maw-law' A primitive root, to fill or (intransitively) be full of, in a wide application (literally and figuratively): - accomplish, confirm, + consecrate, be at an end, be expired, be fenced, fill, fulfil, (be, become, X draw, give in, go) fully (-ly, -ly set, tale), [over-] flow, fulness, furnish, gather (selves, together), presume, replenish, satisfy, set, space, take a [hand-] full, + have wholly. If we read fill the earth in Gen 1:28 the idea of a second creation becomes very flimsy. A comment on the following quote of yours "Translations, by nature/definition, are to make something understandable to those who can't understand it. " God has set in His church various gifts - apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherd - teachers. Eph 4. It is the task of teachers to give the meaning of the text. Whether they do or not is their responsibility. It is the task of the translator to use the closest word in the target language, not to teach but to tranliterate as closely as possible. We have a huge problem in the modern 'churches' owing to bible translators and editors doing the work of teachers. Jesus was a teacher of the Scriptures, but He didn't try to bring out a new version.. He just stuck to His role as Teacher (ONE OF HIS MANY ROLES). WHAT A TEACHER!!

Replenish in English means the same thing today as it always has. It's not different. So, in English, it means to "fill" and also to refill. Both definitions are the same as yesteryear. The definitions in the KJV has not changed. We are just ignorant of our own language. There's no need to go to Heb/Gk. Rather than going to modern versions to find modern terms, how about looking up unfamiliar KJV definitions? No, we can't do that but we will readily go to a subjective Hebrew or Greek Lexicon (Strong's, Vine's, et. al.) What is the problem with the KJV? None. We are just conditioned to believe there is and that we are somehow handicapped by it. The term "Archaic" is a boogeyman term to discredit the KJV. There's little if any validity to it. No, we don't say, "I wot not" (I know not) today, but what's wrong with telling folks to look it up. Are we so afraid to tell people that Bible study is a requirement? Yes, we're afraid (rather, we know) that our microwave, instant everything, lazy millennial converts will be out the door at the first whiff of discomfort.

I'd like Mr. Breaker to do a "What's the shape of the Earth" sermon. Just like this Gap Theory stuff, the shape of the Earth is an interesting subject as well. I believe it's a globe but when it comes down to gaps and Earth's shape, it really doesn't matter what someone believes as long as they believe God created the Universe and the Earth and they're saved through Paul's Gospel (I Cor. 15: 1-4 KJV). The rest is just there for us to read.

[@ChaplainDaveSparks]

I’m now re-listening to this. I have two issues with the latter two theories: 1.) Why would *_”THE_*_ Gap Theory”_ imply theistic evolution? It would seem to *EXCLUDE* it, since whatever catastrophe befell the earth would destroy whatever (macro) _”evolution”_ had occurred (if any). 2.) What is the basis for limiting *_”A_*_ Gap Theory”_ to only thousands of years? I see no language in Scripture to determine the *length* of any gap. Whatever the reason for the catastrophic end of the first creation (not just the earth), it might have taken millions, even billions, of years to undo. And if Scripture is silent on the length of the gap, then we would probably be left to use scientific observations to determine it.

I want to know where was Satan during creation?

[@gsmiro]

The translation of Gen 1:2 from the LXX version which is the Greek translation of the Old Testament 300 years before Christ as "but the earth became void and formless". So the contrast of v1 and v2 was there long before and understood by the Hebrew rabbis who translated the OT to Greek. I think the Bible clearly showed that something had happened to the earth. In Isaiah 48 God said that He created not in vain. And in Jeremiah, the words "void" and "formless" are used in the context of a divine judgement. However the Bible does not give a clear indication of the time duration. Also, since time is a physical property (relative), we have no idea what time was like back then. I don't think we can really say how many years was in that gap. Also, believe in a long gap does not mean believe in evolution (theistic or otherwise). Yes, the evolutionists need to believe in a long time duration. But believing in a long time duration does not mean in believing in evolution. And in the end, weather we believe in the gap theory, young earth or old earth, should not affect our salvation and our fellowship with each other. The Bible didn't say we need to believe in the young earth or old earth to be saved. We are really minoring the major on this issue. It can be a distraction from what we really need to focus on.

Didn't Paul create a new tent to covereth? The one new man? Will we not replace the cherub who covereth? Think about it: 4 gospels (man, lion, ox, eagle) + Paul's gospel (one new man/who covereth).

[@silentndeadly]

I just always read it as, God created Heaven and Earth, but the Earth had no meaning yet and was void or purpose(which is life). When God was finished on the 6 day He looked back and saw it was completed. Gap theory is entertaining, but something even more so is that we just don't know all the details. So there are definitely "gaps" in our understanding.

[@ianmcdonald8648]

just a few thoughts to throw into the pot... Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. DEATH REIGNED FROM ADAM - Not satan. Gen 3 shows us that the earth was cursed because of Adam's transgression. and Paul tells us that in Romans 5. Sin entered the habitable world through Adamm and death by sin; death upon all living things; decay. There is no clear comment in Scripture about two worldwide floods. Only one. AND one coming judgment of FIRE. Peter speaks about the world and the earth in 2 Peter 3: 5, 6. In v5 he speaks of the earth - 'ge', and in v6 he uses kosmos for world. The earth is the physical plane we live on. The kosmos could mean the decoration on the earth, or its inhabitants (or both) I believe Genesis 1:1 may be a statement of all things created in summary.; perhaps like a chapter heading. If God created a beautiful fully ordered earth and heavens which was destroyed by some supposed flood, why didn't God do exactly the same thing again, just make a perfect home again - instantly? Each of the creation days sees a new thing happen, new things appear. The house is being prepared bit by bit, just like any master builder would do. On the second day there were no birds, no land animals, no inhabitant, not even the sun, moon and stars. NO grass. Pretty bleak eh. Why? God created things perfectly each thing in its day. There is no solid Scriptural reason to suppose that Genesis 1:2 was not part of His perfect work...a first stage in the unfolding of the beginning point. This earth is set for a throwing away just like an old garment. Let us keep our eyes on Jesus - the one who sustains all things by the word of His power.

[@jerrylisby5376]

Ian McDonald So many things I could say. I will say this: Gen1:1 heaven singular. 2:1 heavens plural. Originally only one heaven. There was separations made before Adam was created. Why? Sin. Think about that. Pray about that for 6 months.

[@ianmcdonald8648]

No worries Jerry. just like to add the following to the discussion. The LITV in Genesis 1:1 and 2:1 is in the plural form, which the Hebrew word allows for. The KJV shows a plural 'heavens' in the following: Psalm 19:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Psalms 57:11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth. Psalms 89:11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. Psalms 96:5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. Psalms 102:25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. Psalms 136:5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever. also in Proverbs 3:19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. Proverbs 8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: God tells us who the earth was given to: Psalm 115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. The Bible never tells us that the earth was given to Lucifer or any angelic being. But it does tell us that the earth was given to the sons of men. Bluesky writes below "That word was in vs 2 is Strong's 1961 it means to become.". 1961 also allows for exist or to be, or to continue. In the Scripture ther is no mention of two creations concerning this temporal sphere. Not even with the Flood were the heavens destroyed as if they cesased to exist and needed to be 'recreated'. Just one point about separations. It is true that God at the beginning established separation between various things. And every one of those distinctions are meant to point to the spiritual distinctions or separations that are unchangeable. But those separations do not of themselves prove an earlier creation on earth prior to what we read from Genesis 1:2 onwards. Anyway Jerry, The Lord knows what He has done and that is really what matters. As Moses said, the secret things belong to God and the things revealed belong to us that we may do them. see Deut 29:29. For my part, I do not see any real proof in Scripture for 'any gap theory' between our first and second verse of Genesis 1.

[@jacrancam]

Ian McDonald This is my theory with little scriptural support. I believe the earth and heavens were already created. Lucifer was over all of it, until he was found with iniquity. Now the light barer was the source of light, no sun on the first earth. There were humans on it, but when Lucifer tried to overthrow Yahweh, he was kicked out. Yahweh destroyed the first earth and that is where He through satan. Then after a while, He decided to start over, but this time man would govern himself with the guidance of Yahweh. Now all the people from the first earth could not legally be charged because Lucifer was given the position. So He placed our souls inside the womb. Scripture says that He knew us before we were in our mothers womb. Déjà vu

[@vickiroblin4325]

Well, no death before Adam...that totally makes sense because angels are immortal. I don't subscribe to any idea that there were humans before Adam.

Jeremiah expands on Genesis 1:2 where the earth was without form, and void. It describes the heavens with no light...as black - no rainbow as there was after Noah’s flood. It says there was no man and all the cities were broken down. This is undeniable proof of the gap and the existence of man before Adam and Eve. Incredible! Jeremiah 4:23-28 [23] I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. [24] I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. [25] I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. [26] I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord , and by his fierce anger. [27] For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. [28] For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it , I have purposed it , and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.

I don't think it is a theory...it is really the only view that makes sense of the period between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. Until the young earth proponents can explain what happened between these two verses, there is no sense in discussing the age of the earth. Until they have a concrete answer concerning where the darkness came from in Genesis 1:2, there is no point in having a conversation...it would be pointless. The time-frame between these two verses could be immense...perhaps even billions of years. This has nothing to do with evolution. It has everything to do with what the Bible actually says. Jeremiah 4:23-27, in comparison with Genesis 1:2, supports this view, and it is difficult to refute.

Adam obviously understood what death was, but sinned anyway. There are such things as Bible mysteries. But I don't limit the greatness of the Lord. If he is an eternal being, I don't think that this Earth is his only creation. I do think we are the only creation made in his image. But aliens exist brother. That's a fact. It goes into who did Cain marry? You chose to fill in the blanks saying that there were many many sons and daughters and cousins. But that isn't in scripture. You go over the story of creation, and make it seem as if the Sun and Moon were initially created. However, the ZULU tribe of Africa has writings of when the moon was brought here. When Apollo 11 landed on the moon, they said it "rung" like a bell. We can fast forward to Revelations, and read that 1/3 of the Sun will be destroyed, 1/3 or the moon will be destroyed. And there will be a New Heaven, and a new Earth when Jesus comes back. The Lord is very capable of creating and destroying his creations as he sees fit. Dissecting scripture is fun.

There's no gap, the verses are just describing that there wasn't any dry land in the very beginning. In Genesis 1:10 it says "And God called the dry land Earth". So because there wasn't any dry land before that the Earth had no form. The land was originally under the water in Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 then when the waters were gathered together in Genesis 1:9 the Earth (being dry land) became visible or "appeared" and then of course had form and was no longer absent.

Opposition to Gap Theory: 1) Christ never told about it. 2) The Prophets and Early Apostles never spoke about it. 3) Isaiah indicated that the creation of angels was most likely to occur during "he created stars too". 4) Gen 1-1 and 1-2 is the pattern of early Genesis. Moses introduced the general event, then followed it with the details. 5) The Theory came to fore due to the lack of faith in the Creation doctrine of those who originally conceptualized it. 6) And God himself said that he "created heavens and earth" in 6 days then he rested. ....

A few questions: (1) If your interpretation of Gen. 1:1-2 is "A Gap Theory" that represents (you specifically stating) thousands of years (as opposed to simply "a period of time" or "millions or years" or any number of years), why even insinuate thousands of years? What basis do you have for thousands vs. hundred, or millions or billions for that matter? (2) Can you expand on your emphatic point that Theistic Evolution doesn't work? Why not? (3) This can be a subset question of #2 - Do you believe that Gen. 1:26 (re: the creation of man) and Gen. 2:7 are speaking of the same creative event or something distinctly different?

And this is my number 1 issue with a gap theory. If a 10 year gap than why not a million. If earth had been bobbing around like a cork under water than how many previous worlds were there? Why are we the only time God conducted the human experiment? Why did God make a world for fallen angels, and then destroy it because they were wicked? And on and on the questions go.... Why make up stories to try and explain things that God didn't decide to let us know about. Fun Christian psyfi, but it should stay under that category.

@@JamesThomas-dn6hz I believe they are trying to explain the worlds viewpoint rather than biblical cosmology. There's so many problems with the gap theory. Which if you really get into your research will prove God made a flat enclosed system not a heliocentric ball that moved around the sun. "Let God be true and every man a liar." This doctrine teaches sin/ death before Adam...Romans says sin/ death entered through one man Adam. It changes the gospel. Also, why would God have to destroy ( in this supposed "first flood before Adam") and recreate everything including the sun, moon and stars? He didn't recreate after Noah's flood. Lots, for believers to think and pray about. I'm sticking to the Word of God!

Brother Breaker: There's no sin in heaven yet Satan sinned in heaven??? & was cast out of heaven from God. How did/could this have happened? Always wondered this. Ty.

The more I read on youtube the more I understand what Jesus was saying... Matthew 24:5... Mark 13:6... Luke 21:8... John 5:43... Are we all so naive we cannot understand Two little versus in the Bible..? the gap... is this some sort of a joke.? The versus are simple 1,2,3 and so on. there is no 1 1/2 , 2 1/2 There is nothing in between..! And the pre-adamic WHAT..? Why are so many people on youtube mocking God... I guess their is only answer... 2 Thessalonians 2:11 I will Pray that your eyes be open... God Bless
