IF ADAM WAS THE FIRST MAN ON EARTH THEN WHY?
1) Genesis1:2 - The earth was without form
2) Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and REPLENISH THE EARTH
3) Genesis 1:17 Death existed before the fall of Man (Adam sinned)
4)Genesis 3:1 Evil existed in the Garden
LETS LOOK AT SOME PASSAGES
POINT NUMBER 1: It seems like there was catastrophic events that happened between Genesis 1: and Genesis 1: 2. God has revealed this through his prophet Isaiah 45:18 - For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens, who is God, who formed the earth and made it, who did not create it in vain, who formed it to be inhabited”
Now we see now that God created the earth not in vain. The question is what really happened.
This took me to the Book of Jeremiah 4: 23 -26 "I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
26 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
Prophet Jeremiah tells us what really happened in Genesis1:2 and the it was caused by God's fierce anger!
Some people are confusing this with Noah's flood. During Noah's flood there were 8 Human beings that were saved Where as in Genesis verse 2 there were no humans.
POINT NUMBER 2:
After God created the man he said be fruitful and multiply. This was ok until the last sentence which says Replenish the earth. To REPLENISH means to fill (something) up again. refill, top up, fill up, recharge, reload, restore (a stock or supply) to a former level or condition.
Why would God use this statement if there were no human before Adam? Surely there was life before Adam and that is why Prophet Jeremiah revealed what happened before Adam.
POINT NUMBER 3:
If Adam was the first man, Everything was holy and there was no sin, God knew that death happened before and that is why he brought it before Adam. Adam and Eve never undertodd what God was saying because no one told them about death, how it looks like, how the person looks like when he is dead. Eve never knew the consequence of sin. If atleast one person was spared during the first flood, they could have heard about the live before and how God killed the people. Imagine if there was no one spared during the flood of Noah, would we say the first person created after that flood was the First man ever lived on Earth? Certainly not
POINT NO 4:
Have you ever asked yourself about this scripture- Revelation 12:7-9? When was Satan Thrown Out of Heaven to earth? Was it before Adam or Before Him? After the formation of Adam we have never heard anything about the devil being casted down to earth. The above scripture happened long before Genesis 1 verse 2. When God formed a man out of soil or dust the devil was already on earth. We have see that after God planted the garden called Eden he placed a man there.
Prophet Ezekiel addressed the devil in the King of Tyre this way:
Ezekiel 28 verse 11 - 16 - Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 12 “Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God:“You were the seal of perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper,
Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created.
14 “You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
Till iniquity was found in you.
16 By the abundance of your trading You became filled with violence within,
And you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing Out of the mountain of God; And I destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the fiery stones.
The question is Was the King of Tyre existed the time of Adam? Prophet Ezekiel continues to say the same devil who was in the garden is the same one who once was an anointed cherub , He was perfect the time he was created. Lucifer was created long time before Adam. He later deceived kingdoms.
Prophet Isaiah addressed the devil in the kind of Babylon this way:
Isaiah 14:12 - 17 bu i like it on verse 16 which says “Those who see you will gaze at you,And consider you, saying:‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms,"
The devil existed before Adam. There is life before Adam. Lucifer had a mandate of God before he was filled with pride.
