That is, to return to the pure, original state that existed before the fall of man, in order to live a full life with God - to leave Satan’s sovereignty and go to God’s sovereignty. Jesus affirms this crucial point in John 5:24: “He who hears my words and believes Him who sent me...has passed from death to life.”

Because of Adam’s fall, all humankind inherited sin and were born under satanic dominion. People lived, died, and went to the spirit world, under satanic dominion. Among several terms used for the abode of fallen spirit men, in the spirit world, is “grave” (or “tomb”). This is often misunderstood to be the physical grave or tomb. Examples: Ps.49:15; Jn.5:28 and Matt.27: 52,53.

At the time of the Second Coming, all spirit persons in Hell, and all other realms of the spirit world, including Paradise, must resurrect through God’s dispensation in the last days (ICor.15:22). Through the processes of redemption, purification, santification and others, God will restore all humanity and all things to His original purpose (Is. 46:11; Rev.21:5).

Though the physical bodies of the living will be redeemed from sin (physical resurrection), those who are already deceased (residing in the spirit world) will not regain their physical bodies (already decomposed and returned to the soil), but their “spirit bodies” will resurrect (ICor.15:44; Jn.6:63) as Jesus, himself, resurrected (IPet.3:18).

Note: Jesus does not dwell in Paradise in a physical body, but in a perfected spirit body/resurrected body. (Rev.1:18; 2:7).

Next: The Second Coming

Eve (who also has a spirit-Gen.3:1,13). Eve's union with Lucifer caused her to receive much fear and other fallen elements from the angel. She in fact became stained with Satan's blood lineage. All these elements which constituted the "fallen nature" were conveyed to Adam in her sexual intercourse with him (3:6b). This is called the physical fall.

1. Failure to see from God's viewpoint. Self-centeredness often predominates.

2. Leaving one's proper position. Lucifer left his position (as a servant angel) to interfere with the love relationship between God, Adam and Eve (God's children). The problems inherent in the infamous "love triangle" are emerging from this aspect of the fallen nature.

3. Reversal of dominion. The angel who was supposed to be under the dominion of human beings (God's son and daughter) came to have dominion over them instead. In this way, dominion was reversed. The nature of this particular problem plays itself out in many rebellions throughout human history.

4. Multiplication of evil. Had Eve limited the fall to herself, without involving Adam, it would have been very easy for God to restore her. However, she multiplied her fallen state by seducing Adam, thus, he became also corrupted by fallen nature. The common tendency to involve others in criminal acts, and to multiply deviances are emerging from this aspect of fallen nature.

Why did God not Intervene in the Fall?
God is absolute in His standard. His Principle of Creation is also absolute. God's original desire is for Adam and Eve to fulfill their portion of responsibility of realizing the three great blessings. God did not intervene in the fall because the responsibility was in the domain of man - to obey His commandment, and establish himself worthy of inheriting all that God had for him. Had God intervened, He would be violating His own Principle and therefore, disqualifying man from attaining perfection and becoming lord of creation, and ruler over the angelic world.

The fall of Adam and Eve allowed Satan to establish dominion and sovereignty on earth and in the respective realms of the spirit world. A new or restored Adam and Eve would now be needed to reverse all their mistakes.

Next: Mission of the Messiah

“God made women for men, but first for children. The entire purpose of Creation relates to the female. Do you think God created all things for His partner or His child? The most important thing is for the child. The man’s shape is convex and the woman’s shape is concave—she is created to receive. Even if a woman has a doctorate, the most important thing is to have children. Do you think that you need children? This is most essential. The most precious experience of all is to nurse your baby and hold your baby in your arms. You have to nourish three generations.”
