Something Happened Before Adam (Pre-Adamic Age, Gap Theory, Genesis 1:2)
Was there a world before Adam? Dan Duval follows up on the Tartaria episode and goes deeper into the pre-Adamic ages: the gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, Isaiah 45:18, Jeremiah 4, and what the human spirit can still carry from that time. Dan answers the claim that this teaching is borrowed from Mormonism. He holds to the triune God and to Scripture alone, and he came to these conclusions before he ever read what Mormons teach about pre-existing spirits. He shares how the subject first came up in deliverance ministry, when some things would not break until the Holy Spirit led people to repent for an issue behind Adam, not back to Adam. He then lays out the biblical case for a gap: the Hebrew word that can mean "was" or "became," tohu in Isaiah 45:18, Jeremiah's vision of a ruined earth with broken-down cities, the morning stars of Job 38:7, and the Aleph Tavs in Genesis 1:1. He closes with three areas that keep coming up when he ministers to the human spirit: elemental spirits, pre-Adamic trade in essence (Ezekiel 28), and trauma from pre-Adamic wars. He separates this clearly from reincarnation. For more, see his book Awakened.
