The Fall
Key texts
Revelation 12:712
Isaiah 14:12-15
Ezekiel 28:11-15,
The spirit of
discontent and
disaffection had
never before been
known in heaven. It
is a new element,
strange, mysterious,
unaccountable.
PP p.9
He insinuate doubts
concerning the laws that
governed heavenly beings,
intimating that though laws
be necessary for inhabitants
of the worlds, angels, being
more exalted, needed no
such restraints, for their own
wisdom was a sufficient
guide.
PP p.8
Cast out
Creation
Here is no mystery. There is no ground
for the supposition that man was evolved
by slow degrees of development from
the lower forms of animal or vegetable
life. Such teaching lowers the great work
of the Creator to the level of mans
narrow, earthly conceptions. Men was so
intent upon excluding God from the
sovereignty of the universe that they
degrade man and defraud him of the
dignity of his origin. p.13
Love, gratitude
loyalty to the
Creator, all were
overborne by love
for Eve. She was a
part of himself and
he could not
endure the thought
of separation He
resolved to share
her fate; if she
must die, he would
die with her.
PP, p.
Eden remained
upon the earth
long after man had
become an outcast
from its pleasant
paths. The fallen
race were long
permitted to gaze
upon the home of
innocence , their
entrance bared
only by the
watching angels.
Plan of Redemption
The broken law demanded the
life of a sinner. In all the universe
there is but one who could, in
behalf of man, satisfy its claim.
Since the divine law is as sacred
as God himself, only one equal
with God could make
atonement for its
transgression. Non but Christ
could redeem fallen men from
the curse of the Law and bring
him again into harmony with
heaven.
PP p.27
