The Gap Theory is False Teaching (an overview) Part 3
I believe the Gap Theory is false because God IS our Example and HIS “work week” is our example. It’s not a magnificent creation gone amuck, then destroyed, and a new creation in 6 days, resting on the 7th. It is clearly taught in Scripture as a literal 7 day week…just like we have now (in fact, that’s why we have it). The Bible (GOD) tells us man shall work 6 days and rest on the 7th JUST AS GOD DID. It doesn’t say “work for a while, throw it all away, and then work 6 days (which would be the genuine “Biblical example” if The Gap Theory is to be believed ). To suggest that GOD worked (created) before the 7 days HE says HE worked in, is adding to scripture and insulting HIS handiwork. Remember, HE did not make “another creation” after Noah’s Flood (although HE allegedly destroyed it the same way as “lucifer’s flood”). In Noah’s flood, the waters receded and things began anew because HIS WORK WAS FINISHED! Symbolic of our sins being washed away, being made NEW CREATIONS by HIS Blood, and entering into HIS REST.
The Bible proves Genesis 1 - six day creation / 7day week repeatedly.
Genesis 2:2-3 AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY, GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE; AND HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, AND DO ALL THY WORK. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of THE LORD thy GOD. In it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, … FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE 6213HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IN THEM IS AND RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY: Wherefore The LORD Blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Exodus 31:17 It is a sign between ME and the children of
Israel forever: FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE6213 HEAVEN AND EARTH, AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY HE RESTED, AND WAS REFRESHED.
Heb 4:3b-4 As I have Sworn in MY wrath, if they shall enter into MY REST; ALTHOUGH THE WORKS WERE FINISHED FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. FOR HE SPAKE IN A CERTAIN PLACE OF THE SEVENTH DAY on this wise, AND GOD DID REST THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS. Notice the WORKS were FINISHED from the foundation of the world. If GOD does it, There is no need to Re-do it!
The Bible clearly reads One creative process (Christ even refers to marriage as in the beginning; Matthew 19:4b Have ye not read, THAT HE WHICH MADE THEM AT THE BEGINNING made them male and female,) Which “beginning do you think Christ was referring to? Since there is no account of marriage or family in the “Lucifer’s Flood” / “Gap theory”, I would have to say The LORD JESUS CHRIST is referring to “the Beginning” as Written in Genesis Ch.1-2
