History of Man from Adam to Christ

In the beginning...

Creation of the heavens and earth. Before man. Until the earth became
chaotic and wasted; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. Gen 1:2

Adam

Age of Innocence

Adams first two sons were Cain and Abel. Abel brought a
sacrifice (a lamb) for his sins according to Gods command and
God was pleased. Cains sacrifice (fruit of the ground) was not
acceptable because it was not according to Gods word and was
rejected. Cain killed Abel and was exiled as punishment, not
executed.

Man and woman in the Garden. Until sin caused the fall.
Savior promised to mankind. Gen 3:15

Age of Conscience
God taught the message of salvation to man and recorded it in the stars.
Mankind before the flood became increasingly evil. Men lived a long
life. The earth became populated (probably billions of people) and fallen
angels try to genetically destroy human race to prevent the Savior from
coming (Gen 6). Until God intervened with the flood to save mankind.

The flood was prophesied (probably by his father Enoch who walked
with God: and he [was] not; for God took him. Gen 5:24) at the birth of
Methuselah and fulfilled at his death.

After the flood, God established capitol punishment (the foundation of

every government) and the eating of meat, and drinking blood was
forbidden (this covenant between God and man exists to this day). A
patriarchal system was established until the law.
In order to slow the spread of evil, God confused the language of man at
the Tower of Babel (Gen 11:1-9) and God divided the land during the
days of Peleg (Gen 10:25).

Abraham is called out from the world

God promises Abram that through him all nations of the earth shall be blessed. Through
the seed of Abraham the Savior must now come. His descendants become the target of
the fallen angels and their leader. Abraham operated by faith and was before the law.
Therefore the law is not a better principle but a teacher to lead us to Christ.
