THE BIBLICAL VIEW OF THE ORIGIN OF SIN
Sin was anticipated
in God's foreknowledge.
Otherwise, why should Christ be spoken of as the Lamb slain from the
foundation of the earth (Rev. 13:8). There is a mystery in the Divine
permission of sin. Any wishing to examine this further may wish to read
Chafer's Systematic Theology, Vol. 2, pp. 229-233.
The first enactment of sin in heaven by Satan and angels (Ezk. 28:1-19; Isa. 14:12-14; 2 Pet. 2:4; Jude 6).
