As also you say and also Pastor Murray too.
This verse is mistranslated and should read:

"And the earth became a waste and a ruin;..."

The word "was" is Strong's 1961 (haw-yaw'): "to exist, that is, be or become, come to pass"

The word "without form" is Strong's 8414 (to'-hoo): "From an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface)"

The word "void" is Strong's 922 (bo'-hoo): "an undistinguishable ruin"

Those in doubt (which should be everyone) should look up the words themselves.
It's important that everyone does their own research.
It's enlightening and rewarding and builds confidence.

So, we have the Earth "becoming" a waste and a ruin.
This implies that at some previous time, it was not a waste or ruin.
Clearly, the "creation" events that are about to take place are a "re-creation", not an original creation.
