When in the Biblical Timeline Did Satan Fall?

Some Christians put it between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, but there’s not even a hint of this in the text and it puts angelic sin in God’s original “very good” creation, so we know that option isn’t correct (this idea was merely invented as a way to accommodate millions of years). And Exodus 20:11 rules out any such gap as everything, from Genesis 1:1 and onward, was created in six days. So when did it happen?

Well, I’ve been asked this question a lot over the years, and we recently filmed a short video where I answer this question, starting with the biblical text.

When it comes to answering common questions such as this one or “Where did Cain get his wife?” or “Where did the so-called races come from?”, we must always start with the Bible, not with our own ideas or with compromises that try to accommodate man’s ideas about the past.

The answers are in Genesis!

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
