Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his life,

let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the Word Ford today,

Catcher continues with Satan's Boundaries as we pick up in Egypt, chapter 28, 17.

And now with today's message, here's Pastor Chuck.

There are viable arguments and of course the fact that Satan came along so early he had already

fallen to tempt Eve and that there was darkness over the face of the deep and all, all tend to give credence to this gap theory and that the

earth was somehow disheveled and destroyed at Satan's rebellion in sin against God.

And a literal reading in verse two can read,

but the earth became wasted and desolate.

And it is not consistent with God's creative acts

to create something wasted and desolate. When God creates it, he creates it perfect.

God saw the light that it was good. God saw the land that it was good. God saw the animals. They were good. It isn't

consistent with God to create something wasted and desolate without form and void.

So there are some arguments, very powerful arguments for the gap theory and I have not in my own mind totally set it aside as not worthy of consideration.
