Genesis 1:2 and Hebrew word "Hayah" question

1whirlwind said:

As He didn't create the world in a formless and void state...the word "became" means the world became that way. It became that way when Satan rebelled....he is the "darkness upon the face of the deep."

At the beginning of this age (same old ancient world, brand new age) "the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters," and this age began! He was the Light shining to dispell the Darkness.

John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. (5) And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
(8) He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

Hi. Anyone want to give a view on the correct interpretation of the Hebrew word used in Genesis 1:2?

That word "Hayah" is interesting and is used in a variety of different tenses/genders in the OT/OC.

The Greek word #1096. ginomai used in the NT/NC also appears to come from this word meaning "to-become". Thoughts? Thanks
