The history of mankind is intertwined with the presence of a being fallen from the presence of God.The bible gives us a taste of a time before Adam and the existence of the archangel Lucifer. In his downfall Lucifer became our enemy and he seeks to derail us from living according to God's word. Unable to overpower the Living God, he has to finagle us away from our covenant protection. So he looks into the word of God for advantages and opportunities.
