The Gap Theory

Apparently there is good evidence to indicate that Jeremiah 4 was stripped from the book of Genesis and placed in Jeremiah. This is how the book of Genesis really reads. The words in Jeremiah are in blue. See how smoothly it fits in. It really supports the gap theory. Maybe that is why they removed it in the first place. Also the word "was" (hayah) is a mistranslation. It should be "Became."

1961 hayah (haw-yaw);
a primitive root [compare 1933]; to exist, i.e. be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary):
KJV-- beacon, X altogether, be (-come), accomplished, committed, like), break, cause, come (to pass), do, faint, fall, + follow, happen, X have, last, pertain, quit (oneself-), require, X use.

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.The earth was (became) without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. I beheld the earth, and indeed it was without form, and void; and the heavens, they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and indeed they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth. I beheld, and indeed there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens had fled. I beheld, and indeed the fruitful land was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of the LORD, by His fierce anger. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day."

"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: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men." 2 Pet 3:5-7

In 2 Pet.3:6-7 we have a definite statement that there was a social world before Adam, which is called, "the world that then was." The Greek word for world is 'kosmos,' meaning social system.

This social order had to be before this one we now know, or it could not be called "the social order that then was." That it was one which existed before our social order since Adam, is clear from the next statement about "the heavens and the earth, WHICH ARE NOW." The two statements, "the world THAT THEN WAS" and "the
heavens and the earth, WHICH ARE NOW" prove there were two separate social systems on Earth. One was BEFORE the one WHICH IS NOW, and the other, AFTER the one THAT THEN WAS.

If it can be definitely proved that "THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS" refers to a social order on Earth before the present heavens and the Earth WHICH ARE NOW, then it would be forever settled that there were inhabitants before Adam.

1. THAT IS WHAT 2 PET.3:6-7 SAYS. It could not be expressed more clearly in human language than it is here, "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 [social order] THAT THEN WAS [of old, and BEFORE the heavens and the Earth WHICH ARE NOW], being overflowed with water perished: But the heavens and the earth, WHICH ARE NOW [AFTER the world THAT THEN WAS], by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men."
