How many times the earth, or portions of it in another planet, was peopled by the Lord before Adam was placed upon it, we are not informed; but from the fact that he commanded to replenish, or re-fill it, we may infer that it had in some form, been inhabited before our first parents came here. But of this no account is given us by revelation.
