Introduction: Most often people talk about the Fall, meaning the events of the Garden of Eden and their consequences. And it is totally justified. At the same time, have you ever thought why Adam didn't drop dead at the appearance of the LORD. Why God allowed their lives to unfold – through Cain to the Flood. That's why it is important to talk about the Great Fall – the point when God decides to start over (saving 8 souls total, see 1 Peter 3:20). To follow the lesson you need to remember the main pattern of creation that we talked about last time – forming, filling, and glorification.
