Read on, my friend:
Jeremiah 4:23-26 "I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and
all the cities thereof were broken down at the
presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger."
There were
NO CITIES at Genesis 1:2. Jeremiah 4:23-26
IS NOT A CROSS REFERENCE TO GENESIS! The passage is a reference to the Tribulation in the future and the Lord's return.
