The earth has been in Gods plans before the foundation of all creation. and the earth was always planned to be the place of Christ's Throne. when Lucifer tried to take it and make himself like God. he brought in sin and Darkness when that iniquity of self will was revealed until then he had been perfect. but now he fell and along with him angels that were following him. Angels, Chrubim and Seraphim all had to have their test of free will just like man.

then God created the firmament to contain the darkness and keep it under controll until the time was completed her e on earth. and at its completion all the firmament will be removed and God glorious light shall shine once again on the lowely planet earth

Lucifer became Satan the Fallen angels devils and darkness lay across the face of the earth. god judged Satan and his followers and scattered them abrod in the heavens with in the spreading darkness. and destroyed the throne that Satan built (Ruckman believes it was teh moon. well to each his own) and that caused the void and formless earth that God comes upon in Verse 2 of Genesis.
