There are various OT passages that refer to the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Genesis 3:15; Psalm 22; 16; Isaiah 53.
I never debated how much the OT saint understood or didn't understand some of these things - you don't have to understand something fully to accept it by faith. The OT taught the Gospel - looked forward to Christ fulfilling it, and the OT saints were saved by looking towards that Messiah who would die in their place.

Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

If you were building something, it is going to be without form until you give form to it - and it is going to be void until you people it and put other animal, etc. life on it. Therefore it makes perfect sense to have the original ball that God made into the earth without form and void until He gave it form and put life on it. It does not mean it had form and life, then lost that form and life, then had to be reformed and life added again.
