Life Before Adam

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1).

The Bible continues to say,

The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Genesis 1:2 (NASB1995)

For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited), “I am the Lord, and there is none else. Isaiah 45:18 (NASB1995)

So when God first created the heavens and the earth, was it already formless and void, filled with darkness?

We can see from the book of Isaiah that the answer is NO!

The earth was not created to be formless and void as its first state. On the contrary, it was also formed to be inhabited!

If God did not create the earth to be a waste place, so who made it become desolate? What happened?

The rebellion of Lucifer (Satan).

Lucifer (Satan) wants to be god himself.

But you said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ Isaiah 14:13-14 (NASB1995)

Lucifer performed lots of trades and filled with violence.

By the abundance of your trade you were internally filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire. Ezekiel 28:16 (NASB1995)

(The devil is an expert in trading. So never make deals with him or you will certainly lose!)

And so God casted him down from Heaven.

And He said to them, “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. Luke 10:18 (NASB1995)

There were even kings who witnessed that. Who were the “kings”?

Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I put you before kings, That they may see you. Ezekiel 28:17 (NASB1995)

This was what happened before Adam. Many called this the pre-Adamic age.

Life existed before Adam.

There are already lots of testimonies in the ministry to the human spirits which recalled memories and traumas from the previous age, when the war in Heaven happened. Trades, betrayals, traumas, hurts, even injuries happened.

Our human spirits existed before Adam.
