The Lost Primordial began his tale of what transpired several thousands of years back to the days of Noah.
"When God created the heavens and the Earth, as written in Genesis 1, this world was the intended home or place where God would dwell. He wanted to have fellowship and enjoy eternity with those who love Him. He wanted to create a perfect world. But then there was Satan. The first one to rebel. He was a genius."
"A genius?"
"Yes. When God created everything, there was a powerful law in place. Everything was created, and everything was 'good'. But Satan found iniquity in himself. It was something that was so vastly incomprehensible. It was also proof of Satan's power. He desired something but didn't know what it was at first. So he sought it and found a way to surpass all creatures' dimensional limitations. And then it occurred. He had pride and went his own way."
"So he... rebelled? Or, to put God in a bad picture, Satan had free will?"
"Free will is a very complex term for dimensional beings. Your free will is nothing compared to the free will of angels. Or me, for that matter. I can see time in a spiral, and everything I have done and how you are standing here was because of my actions which I did. But all of this is because of a superior law that binds me to do good. It is my nature to desire this and fight against the Primordial. If I were truly free, I would not have fought the Primordial. The same goes for the Presiders."
"They have this desire to participate in a war..."
"Yes. For Satan, it was even more complicated. The thought of rebelling was not even possible. It did not exist in any dimensional plane. But he did it. Theologians and good people on earth try to rationalize multi-dimensional beings and bind them in limited terms such as free will, destiny, and fate... But the truth is, you can never really comprehend it. It's like God was painting a masterpiece, and suddenly, a certain droplet in the canvas became a different color. How is it possible? How did it come to be? That remains unknown even for someone as powerful as me. But Satan managed to rebel and open a whole new dimensional possibility creating conflict in all creation. He rebelled. Many of the stars, a third, to be precise, were cast down to Earth."
"Then his rebellion was something of great power that even the Primordial or you cannot do."
"Yes. If there is an apt explanation for free will, it would be that. A computer code goes beyond its programming. In the eyes of the Creator, it was chaos. Our inheritance is quite outstanding. But even now, we in heaven only see a fraction of it. A real heaven is coming. God intends to replace the old and create a new one. Satan wants to stop this because it would mean his eternal demise."
"Then why isn't he fighting?" Meryl asked.
"If he is in this, why can't he like... wage war?"
"That's still limited thinking. When Satan rebelled, he and his fellow demons were cast down from heaven to live in this three-dimensional realm. It was embarrassing, painful, and pitiful. Imagine being an eternal being that transcended dimensions and was then cast out to live as a pitiful being limited in height, weight, depth, and afflicted by time! He is bound to new and strange laws that he couldn't fathom! Even for a genius like him, it took a lot for Satan to find a way back to ascend and fly to the heavens. They had great restrictions on them. They could not rebel or act out because of this bondage. Think of Earth as a prison; they were shackled to it, unable to defile it. And so Satan had to find a way to corrupt this three-dimensional realm. He needed to change the dimensions of this world just as he defiled heaven!"
"And so, he tempted Eve." Seeker guessed.
"That was his solution? Sin?" Lynd was confused.
"Yes. You don't understand the effects of sin in the grand scheme. There is a reason why the Bible despises it in all of its forms. It's a corrupting power that distorts the way of things in this world. It's similar to the painting illustration I gave earlier. It corrupts the grand picture and pushes it away from its designed masterpiece. And the brilliance of sin is that it thinks it's better! I have seen Earth for a long time since my defeat. I have watched how they made literature, valued free will, and rebelled against the heavens. They put pride on a pedestal and say that it is something good. But the Bible despises pride. Ultimately, we have created beings. We are better off being what we are made to be and not seeking our glory for pride and vanity! And that was the entrance that Satan needed! When sin entered, Satan managed to ascend once more, and now he constantly accuses the saints in heaven. It's very important that he does this. He needs to bring down as much as he can and destroy the forming painting that God is making because if it's complete, Satan is also finished!"
"And now he is using the Primordial to carry on this distortion?"
"Yes. The ascension of a Conqueror is rooted in pride. It desires to conquer the heavens and even God! After Satan's attempted coup, he was defeated, so he now spends his life corrupting the world so that the plan of God would not come to pass or delay it! And there, he sent his top agent, Apollyon, to earth. And then Apollyon did something interesting. He had sex."
"Nice." Lynd approved.
Everyone turned to Lynd and frowned at him.
"S-Sorry. I got nervous standing before the Lost Primordial that I copied Gardo to calm myself down." Lynd blushed in embarrassment.
"Stop imitating Gardo. Anyway, please continue, Progenitor." Seeker sighed.
"It wasn't just Apollyon who had fun. Apollyon ordered his demons to mate with women. I'm sure you know of this tale.."
"The Nephilim! Genesis 6!"
"That's right. The Nephilims. They were Satan's weapons. God created Adam and Eve to fill the Earth with His image. But Satan corrupted it. His demons gave birth to the Nephilims. And these handsome, strong, and powerful humans had an easy way with the most beautiful women of their time! They would further corrupt the earth with this bloodline. And since they had long lifespans, a single Nephilim could easily have over a hundred children. The demons protected them so that even the high mortality rate didn't seem to apply."
"You mean the demons made sure that the curse of the woman in having great pains in childbirth was stopped?"
"Yes. It was a profound act that the demons that did that were punished. Jude talks about this."
"And the angels who did not stay within their position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day..." Lioncourt is quoted from the book of Jude.
"So that's what it means. I didn't understand who these angels were when I read the entire chapter. It was them! Those who mated with others! They forsook their dimensional positions and were punished for it!"
"Yes. This was a great scandal. Earth was Satan's punishment. He knew that God's plan to redeem earth was ultimately through Jesus. The book of Romans talks about this in detail. Jesus is the dimensional entity that is part of the Godhood that would resolve all this by imputing holiness and righteousness into the world once more. Satan acted fast and ordered Apollyon to inject their corrupt spirit to dwell within man. God had to step in. He spoke a law to ensure that the spirit of these angels would not remain in the souls of man for one hundred and twenty years. But this was also a warning for those angels who left their proper dwelling. They had only a hundred and twenty years left on earth before they would be chained in the eternal chains mentioned in the book of Jude. So they spread their seeds."
"That means most of the original world became populated with Nephilims!" Lioncourt exclaimed.
"Yes. This story of the Nephilim is found in Genesis chapter 6. If you go on a few verses later, we see the Bible declare that the world was full of sin! And there, the story of Noah begins!"
"So the flood was God's way of ridding the world of the Nephilims?"
"Yes. Nephilims and the human forms of the fallen angels. But God had mercy on the earth afterwards. He vowed never to rid the world it this way again. The flood slew all the Nephilims but in the dimensional realms, it was also a war to seal all the fallen angels and Apollyon. And somehow, Apollyon was able to return to earth and sought refuge from one of Noah's descendant. The son of Ham, Cush, he had fathered your ultimate enemy, Nimrod!"
