Adam fell from the high estate in which he was once created—The loosing of the devil upon the earth for a "little season" completes the parallel here. The earth, too, shall fall.

Before Adam fell he was a resurrected man, that is, his physical body had been disorganized, and then reorganized.—The Apostle Peter tells us plainly that this earth is to be dissolved, after which a new world is to be organized. it will be resurrected as Adam was.

Between the time of Adam's resurrection and his fall afterwards, he must have enjoyed a season of rest and peace.—The Millennium which is to give the earth a rest for a thousand years, is the corresponding state in the world's history.
