There are technically no chapters in the original manuscripts. But I do regard the chapters as being placed their by divine means. Anyways, my point here is that 2 Peter is all one letter. The theme of judgment is repeated from 2 Peter 2:5-6 to 2 Peter 3:5-7.
I see Genesis 1 being one whole six day creation and I see Peter referring to this time in 2 Peter 3:5, and then he referred to the global flood in verse 6 (2 Peter 3:6).
I just read Jeremiah 4:23-27 from the Gap Theorist viewpoint.
However, there is a problem, though.
No clear description of such rebellion of Satan exists in Jeremiah 4:23-27.
Sure, I can be imaginative and read this idea into the text and it kind of fits, but the text does not say an actual rebellion of Satan took place in this passage.
If 2 Peter 2:5-6 was not in the context to 2 Peter 3:5-7, you may be on to something, but the context is the global flood involving Noah.
A lot of these teachings come straight from Shepherd's Chapel(late Arnold Murray). I know this for a fact since I spent several years in the past discussing/debating these interpretations with Shepherd Chapel students.
