Before you read this study understand that we do not teach, we share and then ask all who read the following take it to God and verify it with Him. We believe a lot of the world is misled by the church of the world and religion vs the one true church. And to know the truth can only come from knowing, not just knowing of God, John 14:26, I John 2:27, Rev 3:19-22.
Many are called but few are chosen because many are misled by false teachers Matthew 7:13-15 so we help all who wants to know the truth how to find and know the truth of and by God and not of and by man.



Ten Thousand Years Old


Pastor J. R. Wilhite, author   Close Window


In this study, you learn that if we are not listening very carefully to God, we can teach a lie as the truth. When this happens, Satan will use it against us in every possible way; this includes dividing us to what we view on television and movies plus more. This has been done by some of the best known of the Kingdom, and they are still teaching it as gospel.

What are we talking about? The topic is: There was life (people) on the earth before Adam and that life was destroyed, and God started over with Adam.

We have varying problems of a wide range with this teaching. The foremost issue is this teaches that God made a mistake and allowed His creation to be destroyed by one who is evil; this was before sin and the law. If this were even remotely true, God would have revealed much more to us than there is on this subject. As this study progresses, you will see how this is taught as truth. From there, you will be shown what it actually means.

How could this have happened?

First cause - Most people did not actually believe we could actually hear from God until recently. Yes, there have always been those who knew the truth and did hear, but most did not understand. Most thought they meant by reading the Bible only as if the Bible was the end all. People like this must really believe God is either too busy to talk to us (but not too busy to hear our prayers) or that God is limited and cannot talk to us.

When you think about it and re-read the Bible, you will see a few recurring points throughout. Adam and God had a one-on-one relationship. It did not end when Adam was put out of the Garden, but sin made it harder. When sin entered the flesh in Genesis 6, God and man were divided in the one-on-one until God could correct it. Remember, Satan is here to divide and conquer. One of the best ways he accomplishes this is affecting our relationships with God; if we cannot see, hear, or touch God. Adam's sin was of the spirit; not the flesh. That is why until Genesis 6 man could still be in the presence of God. Only by sin entering the flesh could that end, because sin cannot survive in the presence of God.

There was no Law, no special group, or chosen people until after the flood. This was for hundreds of years and maybe even more than a thousand years this was true. Look in Genesis 5 at the ages add them up and see for yourself.

Cain's punishment for killing Abel was too much for Cain.

Genesis 4 (KJV)

13. And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear.

14. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

15. And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a Mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

16. And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

Even after killing his brother, Cain was still face-to-face with God.

Genesis 4 (LIT)

14.

|2009| Look,

|1644| You have driven out

|0853| me

|3117| today,

|5921| from

|6440| the surface of

|0127| the earth

|6440| and from Your face

|5640| I will be hidden.

|7961| And I will be

|5128| a vagabond

|5110| and a fugitive

|0776| on the earth.

|1961| And it will be

|3605| anyone

|4672| who finds me

|2026| will kill me!

{What changed in Genesis 6 that made God want to do away with all mankind? Moreover, why could mankind no longer be in His presence?}

Genesis 6 (KJV)

1. And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Notice in verse 2, "sons of God". That term is only used in one other book, the book of Job describing the angels. These, however, are not the angels of Job; but the fallen angels. They perverted the flesh and that brought sin into the flesh. This was done when they took "daughters of men" (human females) for their wives. Noah was found to be perfect, not spiritually so what else could it be? If you check out Noah's age, he was born before the perversion of the flesh; but his wife was born afterwards. Ergo, their children were not perfect in the flesh as Noah was.

Now, we understand that God had to change things, since He could no longer visit His children. He was removed from them due to sin in the flesh. Satan had won a HUGH battle but not the war. God started from there on planting the seed of the Word into the earth; to bring His only begotten Son to repair the problem. Jesus did not die just so we can have a life after this; remember Luke 16:19-31 it describes paradise (Abraham's Bosom). Jesus died to reunite us with God the Father so we could have more in the next life; but in this one as well.

Through this, we can have the one-on-one relationship with God that we lost from sin (see Genesis 3 and Genesis 6). In the past thirty years, this point has become better understood. What has happened in the past thirty years to bring about this enlightenment? The answer is - the advent of the computer. Before the computer, researching the word of God would require reading the Bible and a researching few concordances (Strong's, Vine's, etc.). You would take word for word and seek their meanings; and determine if they were added for clarity or needed at all. This would take hours just for one short verse. Now with computers, a long verse only takes minutes. Keep in mind that the same people who have misled others in their teaching (i.e.; people coming before Adam) also use computers. Therefore, it is imperative that we seek God's guidance on all we read or hear.

Genesis 1 (KJV)

28. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

In Genesis 1:28, the word "replenish" has been considered to mean repopulate the earth. Since in-depth research proved far too time-consuming, some words were taken at their face value. This is where the teaching (people coming before Adam) started.

Strong's Ref. # 4390

Romanized male'

Pronounced maw-lay'

or mala' (Esth.7v5) {maw-law'}; a primitive root, to fill or (intransitively) be full of, in a wide application (literally and figuratively):

KJV--accomplish, confirm, + consecrate, be at an end, be expired, be fenced, fill, fulfil, (be, become, X draw, give in, go) full(-ly, -ly set, tale), [over-]flow, fulness, furnish, gather (selves, together), presume, replenish, satisfy, set, space, take a [hand-]full, + have wholly.

The King James Version of the Bible was translated in 1612 AD in England. As an aside, here are a few words currently used in England:

Now, that is today's English…imagine the difference 400 years would make. The people in England in 1612 AD would have read the word "replenish" as fill. As you will read below in literal translation of the Bible, it is fill and not replenish. The root Hebrew word can be either "fill" or "replenish". The translators of 1612 AD decided that "replenish" worked as well as fill; and apparently even better.

Genesis 1 (KJV)

28.

|1288| And blessed

|0853| them

|0430| God,

|0559| and said

|0000| to them

|0430| God,

|6509| Be fruitful

|7235| and multiply,

|4390| and fill

|0853| -

|0776| the earth,

|3533| and it subdue.

|7287| And rule

|1710| over fish of

|3220| the ocean,

|5775| and over of birds

|8064| the heavens

|3605| and over all

|2416| animals

|7430| crawling

|5921| on

|0776| the earth.

Consequently, those who teach, "…there were people before Adam" do so based on Genesis 1:28 and the word "replenish". Had they researched the word, most likely they would never have come up with this teaching.

{Keep in mind what Paul has taught us about our thoughts.}

2 Corinthians 10 (KJV)

5. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Paul understood that we do not have original thoughts of our own. If you think about it, you will realize every thought you have had or will have has already been thought before.

Our thoughts come from one of two sources only, God or Satan. They only become ours when we dwell on them and make them ours. That is why you are not sinning if you think a wicked thought; it is only sinful if you keep it and make it yours. Then, it will come out your mouth and manifest itself.

Matthew 12 (KJV)

  1. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

{Satan will force his thoughts on us. God will not do this; we have to seek His thoughts.}

Those, who taught this lie (…people before Adam), could have even been manipulated by Satan in their thoughts as well. It is not easy to catch every thought, cast it down, and take it into obedience in Christ. It does get easier in time, but it takes awhile.

Before we go further, let's delve further into how Satan forces his thoughts on us. How do we know if we are hearing from is God and not Satan? So many have said they heard voices and then killed because they were told to kill. Were they hearing from God? No, they were not.

{We have a way to find out if it is God and not Satan.}

1 John (KJV)

1. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3. And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

{Satan can never admit Jesus came in the flesh. If he does, he has to admit he is defeated; and he will never do that.}

Much like those teaching the lie, people will seek ways through scripture to prove the above statement wrong as well. Anyone can look long enough and take scripture out of context to prove anything to their way of thinking. This is why we always urge you not to only rely on the scriptures referenced in a study. Instead, go back and read all around it as well. Those, who had believed people had lived before Adam, needed to find scripture to back it up; ergo, the reliance on Genesis 1:28. This was not done to prove a point by taking scripture out of context, but from honestly looking for proof one way or the other. What they found was slim at best; but it was more than they found to prove it wrong. They were sought proof here there and there, while the entire Bible proves the opposite. One could say - they could not see the forest for the trees.

{Here are that these people should have referenced}

Genesis 1 (KJV)

1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Genesis 1:2 states the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep - in the physical only. In John 4:24, we read God is a spirit and to worship Him it must be done in the spirit. Most people do not comprehend that there are two sides to the Bible - physical and spiritual. This also lends an explanation as to why so many get caught up in the law and never get the spirit.

Let us review verse 2 in the physical. There are those, who believe God cast Satan down here after Satan destroyed what was there; and God had to start all over. There are many problems with this, as the verse gives no definitive account to support this theory. Another problem with that - for this to be true, Lucifer had to be found with sin and punished. Moreover, Genesis 3 would be subsequently eliminated. Of course this idea brings confusion to the word.

Now, read Genesis 1:2 from the spiritual and physical side.

"And the earth was without form," We know in verse 1, God created (meaning formed); and what God forms does not loose its form. Why was the earth created? It was created for Mankind; however, at this point mankind was not on the earth. What is "void"? The void is mankind after sin. When Adam sinned, he cut the connection to God spiritually, and that left a huge void in man. "And darkness was upon the face of the deep"; the Hebrew word for "darkness", as used in this verse, means evil.

Of course, after the spirit was gone and there was a void, evil would enter there in. "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Two points - (1) We are mostly made up of water and (2) the earth is three quarters water. So, the Spirit of God moved over us waiting until it could re-enter.

Genesis 1 (KJV)

3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

John 1 (KJV)

4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

{In Genesis 1:3, God anointed, no not created, but anointed Jesus as the light of the world}

Genesis 1:1-5 is a spiritual outline of the word of God. Nowhere is there reference to Lucifer being cast down or destroying all God had created. The only way that could happen is if God allowed it. Even when God repented of creating mankind in Genesis 6, He did not allow Satan his way. God did it Himself. If God did not want us to know about it, we would not have it to read. Why would He tell us of one and not the other? Are these people saying that Satan is as powerful as God is?

Some try to say Satan was cast down already based on what Jesus said in Luke below.

Luke 10 (KJV)

  1. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

One of the verses some use to prove the idea of Satan cast down to the earth before his time is Luke 10:18. However, based on the Literal, Jesus did not say that He saw Satan cast down to earth.

Luke 10 (LIT)

18.

|2036| he said

|1161| But

|0846| to them,

|2334| I saw

|3588| -

|4567| Satan

|5613| as

|0796| lightning

|1537| out of

|3588| -

|3772| Heaven

|4098| fall.

Where was Satan cast down to if it were not the earth? The answer is: The second Heaven. Paul tells us about it, and in the Bible, we read about one who is always standing in the gap accusing us of all our sins.

2 Corinthians 12 (KJV)

1. It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

2. I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

Revelation 12 (KJV)

1. And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

{The above refers to Israel, the 12 tribes}

2. And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

3. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

4. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

{It does not say Satan was cast down here at all, all it says is a third part of the stars of heaven were cast down to earth. These are the sons of God (Genesis 6,) that perverted the flesh and then died physically in the flood. However, after the flood even though they could not take physical form they could posses a persons mind}

5. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

{This is when Jesus was born}.

6. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

{Verse 6 refers to tribulation the first half, which at the half way point Michael and his angels cast Satan and his to the earth}

  1. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

{Notice that Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels after Jesus' birth. This tends to blow apart the idea Satan was cast down yet. This is yet to happen, but will about midway through tribulation}

8. And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

{If Satan was cast down as they say in Genesis 1, how could there be brethren Satan would accuse before hand?}

11. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

{Verse 11 the maytars of Revelation}

12. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

{Satan knows he has only 3.5 years, the last half of tribulation. (Matthew 24:21. For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.)…}

13. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

{Israel during tribulation}

14. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

{Three and half years}

15. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

{Words used to make other nations against Israel}

16. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

17. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the comandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

As you can see, Revelation chapter 12 follows a chronology. In order for the lie to work, things must be taken out of order. That is not only confusing but also chaotic.

As much as it appears to the contrary, Satan's time has not yet come. Many more verses show the point. However, based on how awful their times were, every generation since Christ has believed that it was time. The time is coming soon, but not yet.


Can you see the importance of needing to know the truth? Can you also se that the only way to receive the truth is to hear from God.

John 14 (KJV)

26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Some will say our teaching in this ministry is wrong; instead, theirs is right. Which of us teaches you to listen to God and not man? Why are they so scared of the truth? Remember, when Jesus walked the earth, He accused those who were the men of God of misleading the people. Do you really think it is any different now? When Jesus was here 2000 years ago, men and women went to church once a week. They gave of their talents, resources, and most tithed (today, only 3% do). They went to hear from a man of God.

Does it sound that much different from today?

Understand, it says in John 14:26 that we are to be taught all things not just that of God, but all things by the Spirit of God. It does not mean by His word, by a man or woman of God; but by the Spirit of God. In John 4:24 we read, "God is a Spirit…" so we are to be taught by God and not man.

Matthew 23 (KJV)

13. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

14. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

15. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

16. Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

17. Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

{if you are not sure yet, read how Jesus tells us to pray and think of how we are taught by man to pray}

Matthew 6 (KJV)

5. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

7. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

{Do not repeat, no long-winded prayers, and not in the open…but privately}

Why is it so hard for so many to understand the truth?

When the Jews were freed from Egypt, they could have had God as their king. Instead, they demanded a man be their king. Since then, mankind has wanted a man to be between them and God. They have not wanted a direct connection or one-on-one with God. For some, it may be just fear of God. For others, it is fear brought about by their lifestyles; they know they cannot hide from God, but they can from a man.

Are you seeking a site or ministry that:

Then, you are at the wrong place.

However, if you are seeking the truth and want that one-on-one relationship with God, you have found the right place. We are not here to replace God; but to help you get it right with God. We spend months and sometimes years in our research, which takes you less than an hour to read and verify with God. After you are hearing from God, all we can do is save you time, a lot of time.

Do not forget, Satan forces his thoughts. So, before you judge this pastor, this ministry, this site, or this study, make sure it is you; or you might lose a huge blessing.

Did you know you can know without a doubt if you are saved of not?

Romans 8 (KJV)

16. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Do you know if you only accept thoughts and say words that do not judge, that are forgiving and with love at the base you have no choice but to grow. Otherwise, you will backslide (read Matthew 7:1-5 and Mark 11:25-26).

Reference verses and verses to grow by:

John 15 (KJV)

26. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

John 14 (KJV)

26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

1 John 2 (KJV)

27. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

{Do you believe you are supposed to do what Jesus told us to do?}

Matthew 7 (KJV)

1. Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4. Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Mark 11 (KJV)

25. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

26. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
