Was there a Luciferic kingdom as sugested in Ezekiel on the earth before Adam was created?

Ezekiel 28 does not "suggest" lucifer had a kingdom,..but it does tell alot of him and the many roles he plays...and how he will be turned to ASHES.\nThere was NO lucifer kingdom,,,,at all.  During the time(1st AGE) before lucifer got the big head and tried to take Gods mercy seat, WE were ALL souls/stars/children with God.  lucifer took with him 1/3 of Gods stars in his rebellion.  In Gen 1:2, the word "was" translates BECAME....;the earth BECAME void.  God never creates anything void.  Before lucifers fall, I believe we were happy with God(the stars sang in the heavens) and the earth and the universe were ours to explore.  That's also the time when there were dinosaurs on the earth.  When lucifer took those 1/3, it angered God and He SHOOK this earth,...thus the end of the dinos.  IF God had wanted to He could have wiped everything out,..but He loves His children so much He made His plan to make man FLESH.(2nd AGE)  He made the earth habitable for us and made man and woman(Gen 1:27) This was the creation of mankind, the races.  Gen 2:7, this man Adam means ruddy complected, to see blush in the face.  For this particular man God made a woman from the rib,...meaning curve.  Today we call the helix's curve DNA.  Adam said the woman was bone of his bone , flesh of his flesh;..same DNA.....Anyway,..a little more than you ask...and the 3rd AGE is to come.....(ETERNITY)

Genesis 4:16-18\n\nAnd Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the East of Eden.\n\nAnd Cain knew his wife; and she conceived and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son Enoch.\n\nAnd unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.\n\n(It seems to me like there were more than just Adam & Eve, huh)

Genesis 3:4-5  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.\n\nThis was before she ate the apple, therefore evil existed before.  \n\nThis brings about a question of what exactly is evil?  God told Eve not to eat the apple, and look above at what Satan tells her ... what was the lie?  She was already like a god - already knew good from evil - she knew she wasn't supposed to eat the apple, and she didn't die.  If Satan is the master of all lies, then what was the lie?  Tell me, and you'll know what evil is.

From what I've read so far, Lilith was created, but she pissed God off, so He tossed her out of Eden and created Eve.  There's a theory that outside of Eden, Lilith mated with the natural beings of earth, creating the race of men that Cain eventually met up with.

Not all of it, but quite a bit of it. The creation of mankind relates most closely to the myth of Enki and Ninhursag. The Creation itself relates to myths that can be found throughout Sumer. Cain and Able comes from the myth Inanna prefers the farmer. The biblical myth of the snake and the tree comes fgrom a portion of Gilgamesh even so much as to include lilith. Much of the begats were taken as the hebrew version of the kings list. Noah can be taken from the sumerian flood stories. \n\nMuch ot the later stuff is Canaanite. Job was taken from Canaanite stories forexample. \n\nThis was because Abraham came from the city of Ur. He would have worshiped the sumerian gods by their Akkadian names and would have done things in a sumerian manner. \n\nThe ten commandments are actually rather close to a sumerian contract, and the commandments, if taken in the proper historical context, can be shown to make much more sense from a sumerian point of view.\n\nAdendum:\nto T.O. snooze !: the tablets we have from the sumerians can be easily dated both by scientific means and by comparing them to the historical accounts shown elsewhere. If compared with the bible we see that Abraham was said to come from the city of Ur and so if we find biblical stories in an erlier form then we can tell who had the stories first. \n\nTo Kevin: Where are you getting this? Your information doesn't fit with the known archeological evidence. \n\nTo Jengen: Why answer the question if you know nothing about the subject. He asked a simple archeology based question. He did not request a flawed sermon.

In Islam the devil was created before Adam(pbuh) and he was in level of angels at first.\n\nAllah says : " And surely, We created you (your father Adam) and then gave you shape (the noble shape of a human being), then We told the angels, "Prostrate to Adam", and they prostrated, except Iblis (Satan), he refused to be of those who prostrate. \nAllah said: "What prevented you (O Iblis) that you did not prostrate, when I commanded you?" Iblis said: "I am better than him (Adam), You created me from fire, and him You created from clay".\n(Allah) said: "(O Iblis) get down from this (Paradise), it is not for you to be arrogant here. Get out, for you are of those humiliated and disgraced".\n(Iblis) said: "Allow me respite till the Day they are raised up (the Day of Resurrection)".\n(Allah) said: "You are of those allowed respite".\n(Iblis) said: "Because You have sent me astray, surely I will sit in wait against them (human beings) on Your Straight Path. \nThen I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (i.e. they will not be dutiful to You)".\n(Allah) said (to Iblis) "Get out from this (Paradise) disgraced and expelled. Whoever of them (mankind) will follow you, then surely I will fill Hell with you all." [Quraan 07 : 11-17]\n\nAs you can see from this story here Satan had a choice either to kneel with angels or to refuse kneeling and he choosed not to kneel, thats why he is now "humiliated and disgraced" because of the way he choosed.\n\nAllah shows us in the right way and we have the choice to follow it or not.

most of the biblical events were centered around the Middle East.  I don't know why it was a biblical hotspot, ask God (lol).  Most likely it was because it was near the "cradle of civilization" where Adam and Eve were created.

Huge Problems!!! where!!  have you ever thought the rules of the past may not be applied to what is today!  Adam is believed to have been created as a perfect being, and we know now that the humans are not perfect! get the point!!  Once upon a time Africa was a huge forest, now it is a big desert! ever wondered why!  think about it.\nDuring the time of ADAM and EVE, some believe didn't even have a spoken language, and now, we have so many languages!! ever wondered why!\nEarth is a living, or dying plant.  what was in the past, we many never see, or see again.\nCan you explain any of my questions! if you can! then you will get the answer to your questions as well.  Good luck if you can.\n\nIf the Genesis confuse you, try the Quran, but first take two asprines before you start reading. \ntake my advice.  Sincerely llewrose MD :)

I don't believe that much.\n\nbut Cain wasn't the first.....\nThe first Vampire was Lilith, also the first wife of Adam that she eventually left for Lucifer.

Adam. If you believe in the Bible.

Hahahahahaha, that's funny!!!! \nLOOK in Genesis chapter 3 verse 20----Eve was the Mother of ALL LIVING!!!!! Now what does that tell you.  (not the Mother of all living people to come later!!!!)\nRemember, verse 20 happened AFTER Adam and Eve ate from the Tree, and fell..  Later, chapter 4, Cain and Able was born.  When Cain did the Murder of his Brother, Cain went into the land of NOD and had a kid with his wife.\nWhere did the Land of NOD come from????\np.s. The BIBLE dosen't say Adam and Eve were the First People  on EARTH.\np.s.s.  It's NICER to say "Marry so they could have Intercourse to produce children"----but it's up to you how you say thing's---Have a GOOD day!!!!!!     Ditto!!!!!!

Satan’s fall from heaven is described in Isaiah 14:12-14 and Ezekiel 28:12-18. While these two passages are referring specifically to the king of Babylon and the King of Tyre, they also reference the spiritual power that was behind those kings - Satan. In regards to when Satan fell, these passages describe why Satan fell, but they do not specifically say when the fall occurred. What we do know is this: the angels were created before the earth (Job 38:4-7). Satan fell before he tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden (Genesis 3:1-14). Satan’s fall, therefore, must have occurred somewhere after the time the angels were created and before he tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Whether Satan’s fall occurred a few minutes, hours, or days before he tempted Adam and Eve in the garden, Scripture does not specifically say.\n\n \n\nWhy did Satan fall from Heaven? Satan fell because of pride. He desired to be God, not to be a servant of God. Notice the many "I will..." statements in Isaiah 14:12-15. Ezekiel 28:12-15 describes Satan as an exceedingly beautiful angel. Satan was likely the highest of all angels, the most beautiful of all of God's creations. Satan was not content in his position. Instead, Satan desired to be God, to essentially "kick God off His throne" and take over the rule of the universe. Satan wanted to be God, and interestingly enough, that is what Satan tempted Adam and Eve with in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:1-5). How did Satan fall from Heaven? Actually, a fall is not an accurate description. It would be far more accurate to say that God cast Satan out of Heaven (Isaiah 14:15; Ezekiel 28:16-17).\n\nPeople's beliefs of Satan range from the silly to the abstract: from a little red guy with horns who sits on your shoulder urging you to sin, to an expression used to describe the personification of evil. The Bible, however, gives us a clear portrayal of who Satan is, and how he affects our lives. Put simply, the Bible defines Satan as an angelic being who fell from his position in heaven due to sin and is now diametrically opposed to God, doing all in his power to thwart God's purposes for humanity.\n\nSatan was created as a holy angel. Isaiah 14:12 possibly gives Satan’s pre-fall name as Lucifer. Ezekiel 28:12-14 describes Satan as having been created a cherubim, and was apparently the highest created angel. He became arrogant in his beauty and status, and decided he wanted to sit on a throne above that of God (Isaiah 14:13-14; Ezekiel 28:15; 1 Timothy 3:6). Satan’s pride led to his fall. Notice the many “I will…” statements in Isaiah 14:12-15. Because of his sin, God threw Satan out of heaven.\n\nSatan became the ruler of this world that functions apart from God, and the prince of the power of the air (John 12:31; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:2). He is an accuser (Revelation 12:10), a tempter (Matthew 4:3; 1 Thessalonians 3:5), and a deceiver (Genesis 3; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 20:3). His very name means adversary or “one who opposes.” Another name used for Satan, the devil, means “slanderer.”\n\nEven though he was cast out of heaven, he still seeks to elevate his throne above God. He counterfeits all that God does, hoping to gain the worship of the world and foment opposition to God's kingdom. Satan is the ultimate source behind every false cult and world religion. Satan will do anything and everything in his power to oppose God, and those who follow God. However, Satan’s destiny is sealed – an eternity in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10).\n\nThe Nephilim (fallen ones, giants) were the offspring of sexual relationships between the sons of God and daughters of men in Genesis 6:1-4. There is much debate as to the identity of the "sons of God" (see our article on this subject here). I believe the correct view is that they were fallen angels (demons) who mated with human females and/or possessed human males and then mated with human

According to the Biblical story..yes, Dino's lived first. Adam was created on the sixth (last) day of creation...meaning that animals and such were created before man.

Revelation 9:11 (New International Version)\nThey had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.\n\nFootnotes:\nRevelation 9:11 Abaddon and Apollyon mean Destroyer\n\nI see what you mean it calls him king and angel, it might be the angel from the folowing text:\n\nRevelation 20\n1And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.\n\nBut I think it is Satan, for Jesus refers to his kingdom (though this is probably the demons, as we Christians are the kingdom of God)\n\nMatthew 12:26\nIf Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

Well, I've read the book of Ezekiel several times--only about 25 or so--and I have to tell you, the description doesn't sound like a UFO to me.\n\nMoreover, the wheels within the wheels need not be rotors.  In fact, as I read the description, they probably are no such thing.  Even making the assumption (which I reject) that the description is actually that of a mechanism, the description of the whirling wheels is much more compatible with a multidimensional gyro being projected into a 3-dimensional image.\n\nAlso, understand that the description is the best that Ezekiel could be induced to manage.  Human minds can only stretch so far.  What you or I would describe this as might be very different.\n\nShades of Erich vonDaniken...  for those of us who remember "Chariots of the Gods" from days of old...

I believe it was the angels that laid with daughters of man in Genesis -- "Sons of God" \n\nSome believe it were the righteous who died before Christ since they ressurected when He died.
