His domain was believed to have been located in the Garden of Eden at the time of creation. After God declared all His creations to be good, there was a period of time between this declaration and Satan’s subsequent fall from heaven. During this interval, Satan is depicted in heaven in the form of a serpent, indicating a gap in the narrative that warrants closer examination. Excellent insights, G2H. I would like to share some thoughts on the creation of humanity in heaven. First, based on a careful reading of the Genesis account, Lucifer—also known as Satan—originally existed as the most exalted and highest-ranking of the angels, and his creation occurred simultaneously with the formation of the heavenly bodies. In fact, believers today are better positioned to enjoy fellowship with God than Adam ever was. The Father sent the Son into the world to fulfill all righteousness, and Christ obeyed the Law perfectly—both actively and passively. Where Adam failed, Christ succeeded, living a sinless life, dying for sin, and now reigning in heaven as our High Priest, interceding on our behalf. When we are saved, Christ’s righteousness is credited to us, and our sins are imputed to Him on the cross. This divine exchange enables us to approach God with unwavering confidence. Because of Christ’s righteousness, we are justified by grace, which grants us free access to the Father. Unlike Adam, who had to earn righteousness through his actions, we are justified by faith alone. This divine love and plan reveal a profound mystery: in our fallen state, God's love, power, and glory are displayed more fully than in the original creation through Adam. The ultimate purpose of God's creation is to bring glory to Himself. When God placed humanity in the garden, He had a specific purpose; He tested humanity with a command that required complete obedience to His law to attain eternal life. This represents the covenant of works, where God's overarching goal is to manifest His glory through this arrangement. Ultimately, God's supreme purpose is to be the final destination of all creation, and everything He has made and accomplished is inherently good in pursuit of this goal. Furthermore, God's plan for heaven included a design for the fall of humanity, which ultimately serves to magnify His glory through the sending of His Son. The attributes revealed after the fall—such as redemption, grace, and forgiveness—are intended to surpass those present in heaven and to fully accomplish God's purposes through Christ. The brief test given to humanity in heaven, especially concerning Lucifer, ended in failure; humanity did not attain righteousness, and sin severed the intended communion with God, creating tension in that relationship.
