I agree with all 3 of the passages you quoted. But the fall of Lucifer occurred AFTER the creation in Gen 1 & 2, and Satan then tempted Eve & seduced her to sin, and Adam followed by sinning & eating of the fruit as well. There is no break between Gen 1:1 & 1:2 that would indicate 2 separate creations.

Jeremiah 4:23-28 describs the chaos and destruction that occurred sometime before Genesis 1:2. Note that as a result of this event there was no life remaining, unlike the Noah flood where Noah, his family and the animals on the Arc survived:

“I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.”
