Falling Leaves Part 1Preface Between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 something happened.In 1:1 God created theworld as perfect. Then in 1:2 it is a formless mass of void. Evidence ofNeanderthal and others tell us there was a pre-Adamic race. Lucifer fell andwas here during that time. Creatures that seem like half man and half animalmake us wonder what he did. God Made his man in his image. We know that angels (sons of God) mated with the daughters of man andmade giants. That is stated in Genesis 6:2-4. What did they do here beforeAdam and Eve were created? Bible scholars tell us, from biblical records,that was about 6 thousand years ago. Lucifer and his fallen angels were here when the universe was a frozenformless mass. What did they do to get locked up? We only know that they wereand some still are. What did they do to make God so angry he froze the entireuniverse? Why didn't Lucifer appear to Adam and Eve as a beautiful Angel? Whydid he hide in a serpent? Why indeed. Falling Leaves...Part 1 The universe is totally void of anything but a formless mass of waterand ice. The Holy Spirit is hovering over the surface of the waters. He isbrooding, considering and mulling over this vast waste. Then he says asthough he is tired of the darkness, "LET THERE BE LIGHT." And light appears. Then he says,"Yes, Good. The light I will call day and the dark I call night."There is a horizontal parallel of light and darkness. The mass of water inthe center between the light and dark begins to swirl. "Let there be sky between, to divide the waters from the waters."The water divides and breaks into pieces and scatters into the sky. There isspace that opens up through the water. "The firmament I call the heavens. Let the waters on the earth gathertogether in one place and the dry land appear." Bring forth the dry land. Thewaters divide and the mountains appear. Now the Holy Spirit accents piercingthe void. Sitting in a dark cave leaning against the wall is a lone creature. Heis reminiscing about times gone by, millenniums earlier. His eyes flashyellow in the dark. He is thinking of a time when he was very different. The creature puts his head in his hands. He cries out. He remembers awalk he took in a place far away. There is a beautiful angel walking in a garden with God. "I think Ilike the rock garden over here better. What do you think?" Lucifer places hisfoot on a bright blue stone. "If that's where you like it then I like it there too," God smiles athis head angel. "Are you just being kind, or do you really?" "What makes you happy makes me happy." Lucifer ponders the statement. "If there were something that happenedthat you didn't like would you say so? Would you always be tolerant and allowothers to have what made them happy?" "It would depend on what it was and if all were happy? What do you makereference too?" God sits on his garden throne. "Oh I don't know. Maybe an existence that was different from yours, apersonality choice," Lucifer stands before him. "I would allow it if it were in accordance with my basic laws." "And if it wasn't?" "Why would anyone want to do what is against the law of good." "Maybe this would not be against good but just different." "Different from me is not good," God rises to continue his stroll. "So you are against anything that is different?" "I am against what is wrong. Aren't you?" "If it turns out to be wrong then yes, I would be. But hypotheticallyyou would let a person be in existence that had opposing thoughts, say ifthey were just learning?" "Yes, but after enough time for them to have learned everythingpossible I would stop it. As creator I would have too," God lifts a hand tobeckon his Seraphim. "What if they are a creator too? What if they accomplish the same asyou?" God stops and looks at Lucifer. Lucifer falls to his knees and bowshis head. "Look in your heart do you see what I am? Look in my eyes do yousee who I am?" Lucifer looks up and the whole universe is exposed in hisface, mind blowing power like an energy ball engulfs him and rolls over him,distorting his image. Like a hurricane it twists and turns him, he sees allpossible existence in a second. "Look Lucifer, what do you see? Do you see anyone else?" "Noooooo!" Lucifer wails. The creature thoughts are brought back to his present. A shaft of lightenters the darkness. The first the creature has seen in thousands of years.He blinks, his eyes unable to comprehend this reality. He hears the sounds ofthe activity above. The creature listens. He again cries out of the darkness. "You know this isn't a fair fight! Win by Wit. That was our deal. Letmy plans play out or you'll cover this scenario over and over again. Someonewill always feel like me! What will they say through out all eternity? God isa terrorist, an oppressor, an intimidator, a persecutor of the weak. All thethings you accuse me of you are!The creature pounds on the cave wall. "Just because you've existed longer and found the secret to omnipotenceyou think you are greater? So you've discovered the formula to omniscientknowledge. I will too, that is why you keep me locked up, there can be knowother reason. Are you afraid? What do you know that I don't? You fear that Itoo will become aware of these abilities. Give me amble opportunity toexercise my wisdom and I'll rise above you. I will be like the most high Iwill raise my throne and you know it. You are taking the coward's way out.Let me go!" A crack opens in the roof of the cave, water drops leak through. Thecreature excitedly digs at the potential opening, it breaks open. He travelsthrough the water, hits ice, then scraps at the barrier. Then all of a suddenthe ice melts. He realizes he is free to leave. His spirit flies out of thedarkness. He sees the newly formed earth. Now God is in his workshop. He is making a small snake like creature.He carves it from a wood like substance. Then he cuts it lengthwise andcarves out the inside so it's hollow. He places it in a vat of water thenpicks up the vat and goes over to the window of his workshop and spills outthe contents. It flows on the ground of the earth and makes a river. "Finally free from my prison?" Lucifer crawls out of the water. He doeswhat he had become accustomed to doing on earth. He looks for a body. Thefirst thing he sees is a snake like creature floating on the surface. Heenters its body. It crawls away. Now he has a way to negotiate the propertiesof this world, in a clay body.
