The only gap between the first and second verse is about a 1/2 inch...depending on your bible...
There is no indication on how long Adam and Eve were in the garden before the fall happened with them. Most of us (including myself) assume the fall happened days after the creation. It could have very well happened decades after. Plenty of time for Lucifer to excercise his pride.

Though "that serpent of old" may indicate that his fall happened a long long time ago.

Long long time ago is still within the time of creation..is it not?

Hello everybody. This is my first post here.
I have heard some speculate that the actual fall of Lucifer was the offering of the fruit to eve.

Indeed it is.
The period of time is the debate. How far back do we call someone a heritic? 10,000, 20,000, 100,000 a billion?

I don't know if the Heavens and Earth were created and then were there for a long time before God said, "Let there be light", or were they just there for 12 hours or so.
The possibility is that the creation of the natural Heavens and Earth, and God's Heaven, was long before God began to form and to fill the natural Heavens and Earth on the Six Days.
The first day involved the creation of days.
But I don't buy the stuff about fossilisation, etc, happening in the Gap.

Hello Matthew,
A decent book on the gap theory would be, Unformed and unfilled: A critique of the gap theory: Weston W Fields: 9780964165908: Amazon.com . He also talks about the fall of Satan. This book was first published by P&R, who then released the copyright to the present publisher.
A good book on the Biblical data re Satan would be, Amazon.com: Satan Cast Out: A Study in Biblical Demonology (9780851512341): Frederick S. Leahy . This is published by Banner of Truth. It doesn't go into great detail re when Satan fell (for Leahy sticks strictly with Scripture), but analyzes the available data.

Just a reminder but the idea that Lucifer=Satan may be a common view, but it is not found in Scripture. People read Satan into Isaiah 14:12
