- Adam is the Father [ and Patriach ] of all of the human family. He isthe
ancestor of all persons who ever lived or will liveon this earth.
In the pre-existenct life, he was known as Michael the Archangle. When Lucifer
and one-third of the host of heaven rebeled againest the Father, Michael led
the righteous forces in the war in heaven. He participated with Christ in the
creation of the earth.
Adam was placed in the Garden of Eden with a body created in the image of God.
When Eve and Adam fell from grace in the Garden, their bodies became mortal
and subject to death. The fall of Adam, by introducing sin and death into the
world, made necessary the mission of a Savior to overcome both sin and death.
[The aggregate of the scriptures certifies that his transgression in the Garden
of Eden, although designated as a "fall," was necessary to the advancement and
spiritual progress of human race on the earth (Adam fell that
men might be; and men are, that they might have joy.- 2 Nephi 2:25).- Bible
Dictionary p 604]. [children]
One of the greatest spiritual gathering of all the ages took place inthe
Valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman shortly before the death of Adam some more then five
thousand years ago. The Lord has revealed:
Three years previous to the death of Adam, he Called Seth, Enos,
Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, who were all high priests, with the residue of his
posterity who were righteous, into the valley of Adam-ondi-Ahman, and there
bestowed upon them his last blessing. And the Lord appeared unto them, and they
rose up and blessed Adam, and they called him Michael, the prince, the
archangel.
And the Lord administered comfort unto Adam, and said unto him: I have set
thee to be at the head; a multitude of nations shall come of thee, thou art a
prince over them forever.
And Adam stood up in the midst of the congergation; and, notwithstanding he
was bowed down with age, being full of the Holy Ghost, perdicted whatsoever
should befall his posterity unto the lastest generation. (D&C 107:53-57)
Shortly before the Second Coming of Christ, Adam will again visit theearth and
preside over an important council at Adam-ondi-Ahman. There he will receive an
accounting from those who have held the keys of authority in the various
dispensations. Christ will then come to the gathering and receive back the
keys, thus taking one of the final steps leading to His coming in glory and
personal reign upon the earth. [2]
