Dr. Michael S. Heiser talks about the Gap Theory and if there is proof from the Bible as to whether or not it is a valid claim.

The Pre-Adamic Fall of Lucifer is Unscriptural
The serpent is more subtle than any beast of the field and will always cause people to doubt the word of Yahweh. “Hath Elohim said,” the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them were created in 6 days? The serpent wants you to doubt Yahweh’s word. He wants you to think that Yahweh is not able to communicate to his people exactly what happened at creation and how long it actually took to finish. The serpent works through unlearned and unstable men that are willing to wrest the scriptures to their own destruction. We should beware unless we too are led away with the error of the wicked and fall from our own steadfastness. We are told to beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Messiah.
2 Peter 3
15And account that the longsuffering of our Master is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.
Colossians 2
8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Messiah.
The scriptures plainly teach that the heavens (plural), the earth, and “ALL THAT IS IN THEM” were created in just SIX literal days and Elohim rested on “THE SEVENTH DAY.”
Exodus 20:11
For in six days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.
Genesis 2
1Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2And on the seventh day Elohim ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3And Elohim blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which Elohim created and made.
Yahshua plainly taught that man was created “IN THE BEGINNING.”
Matthew 19:4
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them IN THE BEGINNING made them male and female.
Mark 10:6
But from the beginning of the creation Elohim made them male and female.
The scriptures plainly teach that death entered into the world from Adam‘s sin. There was no death before Adam sinned.
Genesis 2
17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Genesis 3
3But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Elohim hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
6And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Genesis 5
5And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
Romans 5:12Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Romans 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
1 Corinthians 15:21-22
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Messiah shall all be made alive.
Satan was created with all the other sons of Elohim on the first day before the foundations of the earth were laid. Psalm 104 lays out everything that was created on the first day in the first six verses. Ezekiel 28 speaks of the day Satan was created perfect without sin and placed in the garden of Eden to be the anointed cherub that covers. Many years could have went by, perhaps even 100, before iniquity was found in him.
Job 38
4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Psalm 104
1Bless Yahweh, O my soul. O Yahweh my Elohim, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honor and majesty.
2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
3Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
We see from Ezekiel 28 that Lucifer was created perfect and without sin when he was first placed in the Garden of Eden.
Ezekiel 28
13Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Another interesting fact is that the earth is older than the sun, moon, and stars. The earth was created on the first day. The sun, moon, and stars were created on the fourth day.
Genesis 1
1In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth.
2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim moved upon the face of the waters.
3And Elohim said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4And Elohim saw the light, that it was good: and Elohim divided the light from the darkness.
5And Elohim called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Genesis 1
14And Elohim said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16And Elohim made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17And Elohim set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and Elohim saw that it was good.
19And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
The earth was without form because Elohim had not yet separated the waters from the land. This was not done until the third day.
The earth was void because Elohim had not yet created the plants on the third day, the water creatures and flying creatures on the fifth day, and the land creatures and man on the sixth day.
Genesis 1
9And Elohim said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10And Elohim called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and Elohim saw that it was good.
11And Elohim said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and Elohim saw that it was good.
13And the evening and the morning were the third day.
Genesis 1
20And Elohim said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21And Elohim created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and Elohim saw that it was good.
22And Elohim blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24And Elohim said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25And Elohim made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and Elohim saw that it was good.
26And Elohim said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27So Elohim created man in his own image, in the image of Elohim created he him; male and female created he them.
28And Elohim blessed them, and Elohim said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29And Elohim said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31And Elohim saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Notice in verse 31 of Genesis 1 that Elohim saw everything that he had made and it was very good. If Satan would have already fallen, then everything that he had made would definitely not be very good.
Genesis 1
31And Elohim saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Yahweh bless thee, and keep thee:
Yahweh make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
Yahweh lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee shalom.
