“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” There are many problems that arise from an incorrect understanding of this verse. Many people say that there is a gap here. The Lord created the heaven and the earth and then something happened to bring about the formless void. However, if we see the first verse as a statement and then the following verses as a description of that statement then we have no trouble. Psalm 23 follows the same pattern: the first verse makes and statement and then the rest of the Psalm expounds that statement. The first verse of the Gospel of Mark makes a statement and the rest of the book explains that statement. There is no gap in Gen 1: 2; God makes a statement and then He describes what happened.
