**At The Beginning**
At the Beginning there was utopia, known as *Eden*. In Eden, Adam and Eve (or just the earliest Humans, depending on your view of Genesis) and their posterity lived in absolute sinlessness. God was ever present on Earth, and men tilled the earth with an angelic host on their backs. No pain was felt, no tear was wept.
**The Fall**
This was, however, until Satan came as the Serpent Deceiver and filled Man's head with lies and mistrust of God. The Apple was ate, and Mankind's loyalty to God and sinlessness - marked by absolutely limitless submission to the One - was ended. God cannot coexist with Dark, for He is Light and pure righteousness. So, He could not coexist with a sinful World. God retracted to Heaven, and the Earth and Mankind was left broken.
**In The Present**
As a result of God's limited presence in our fallen World, the dominion of Satan, and the curse of Sin we are all subject to the woes of Hell, nothing like - of course - what Hell is actually like, however. Pain, sadness, torment, tiredness, we all feel this now as punishment and consequence for betraying God. We will never be free of this on Earth, because full glory can only be felt in the presence of God which is in Heaven, which is why we must be baptized and die before we can know true bliss. This is why our lives will always be hard, but what we must power on, in the name of God.
