It All Started Here
It all started with the creation of Adam and Eve on the sixth day of the first week of planet earth. Created in the image of God, and no knowledge of good and evil because they had not experienced sin, the happy couple roamed through the paradise created especially for them.
This happy state was very short lived as the Bible record tells us. While they were free to go anywhere in their garden home, there were two trees which would directly affect their happiness. One was called:
The Tree of Life
of this tree they could freely enjoy the fruit.
There was another tree called:
The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil
They were forbidden to partake of this tree. God said that on the day they ate of this tree, they would die !
God, must have warned them of the enemy lurking in the garden that was invisible to their eyes. There had been a rebellion in heaven led by the very highest of the angels. That angel was called Lucifer. He was the "covering cherub", that is he was in the very presence of God when not leading the heavenly choir and the other activities taking place. God tried to reason with Lucifer that he was on a dangerous path, but this mighty angel became so proud that he coveted the very position of Christ and the throne of God. War ensued and Lucifer was cast out to this earth. We read about it in:
Revelation 12: 7 - 9.
"And there was war in heaven: Michael and His angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels. and prevailed not; neither was their place found anymore in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
Why did God allow him on this planet ?
Why didn't God cast him out into the darkness of space without any place to put his feet down ?
