SIN, DEATH AND BEYOND: M.M.NINAN<br />

3. The fall of Satan took place prior to Genesis chapter 1<br />

The position that the fall of Satan took place prior to Genesis chapter one assumes that the<br />

creation of Satan (Lucifer) <strong>and</strong> his fall both took place prior to Genesis 1:1 <strong>and</strong> that his fall took<br />

place prior to the creation of Adam <strong>and</strong> Eve <strong>and</strong> not after their creation.<br />

Did this fall of Satan had any consequential <strong>death</strong> within the cosmos? <strong>Sin</strong>ce the wages of sin<br />

is <strong>death</strong>, where can this <strong>death</strong> come in the cosmos other than the first <strong>Sin</strong> <strong>and</strong> with all the<br />

cosmic powers of the Angelic Lucifer. Like Adam, Lucifer was a son of God. The details of<br />

this are not revealed in the Bible because it is given to man <strong>and</strong> the portions relevant to us<br />

alone are given. Most probably the severity of the sin came to earth as these fallen angels<br />

brought it to the earth as given below.<br />

Here is the description of the fall of Lucifer in Ezekiel 28:. “ In the pride of your heart you say,<br />

“I am a god; I sit on the throne of a god in the heart of the seas.” But you are a mere mortal<br />

<strong>and</strong> not a god, though you think you are as wise as a god You were in Eden, the garden<br />

of GodYour heart became proud on account of your beauty, <strong>and</strong> you corrupted your<br />

wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth.“<br />
