In the Beginning...
Gen 1:1-2
There was a time when the universe did not exist
(Psa 90:2; Jn 17:5, 24; Eph 1:4; 1 Pet 1:20).
If v. 2 speaks of the earth as already in
existence, then v. 1 must refer to its creation! The
two verses are tightly connected and are part of
Day 1, not just a heading.
The Hebrew verb ar"B' is used only of God's
activity and is thus a purely theological term. This
distinctive use of the word is especially
appropriate to the concept of creation by divine
flat (TWOT).
