Isa.45:18:  For thus saith the Lord That created the heavens; God Himself That formed the earth and made it; He hath established it. He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.

 

It was a time when even Satan (Lucifer) 'was perfect' in his ways .

 

Ezek.28: Read All.

 

 At that time also, all 'souls' (that means us too) had already been created by GOD;

 

Gen.2:1: Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

 

And we 'all' existed on this earth, in a state of Paradise, or Eden, with 'no flesh body'.

You won't find any 'direct' statements like the last one in God's Word, but you will come to know it if you properly understand Paul's references to 'foreknew', 'predestined', and many more Chapters which reveal that first time 'of old'.

 

I feel I've done my job so far, in helping to reveal that first time with my other Letters on Genesis and Isaiah. That was to prepare you for properly understanding The New Testament, and the 'fulfilment' of the prophesied Salvation through Christ Jesus, and the coming of God's future Kingdom upon earth.

 

Even Paul taught this in; Hebrews 11: Read All.

 

 That those Patriarchs and prophets of The Old Testament had 'faith' in the Knowledge of Jesus Christ, but they hadn't received the fulfilled Promise of Salvation yet, as It wouldn't be fulfilled until Jesus Christ came in the flesh and died upon the cross. In other words, they definitely knew that GOD was going to send His Saviour for the gift of Salvation; they just didn't get to live in the flesh to see it is fulfilled! 

 

 Hebrews 11:13: These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

 

reveals that those of Old Testament times who had 'faith' in the Promise of the coming Salvation, 'knew' they were 'strangers' and 'pilgrims' here on the earth, trapped in flesh bodies, and that their REAL HOME was a spiritual 'heavenly home', and that It would AGAIN, eventually, be re-established upon this earth, as it was once before.

 

Satan (then called Lucifer) rebelled during that first time drawing with him a third of all souls
