    In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Gen 1:1
    And Jehovah answereth Job out of the whirlwind, and saith: -- Who is this -- darkening counsel, By words without knowledge? Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, And I ask thee, and cause thou Me to know. Where wast thou when I founded earth? Declare, if thou hast known understanding. Who placed its measures -- if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched out upon it a line? On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its corner-stone? In the singing together of stars of morning, And all sons of God shout for joy,

    Was Lucifer among them?
    Was Satan among them?
    Were Lucifer and or Satan special?

    And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world (κόσμου - Kosmos), but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 1 Peter 1:17-21
    According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world (see above), that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, Eph 1:4,5
    and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, come of a woman, come under law, that those under law he may redeem, that the adoption of sons we may receive; Gal 4:4,5

    Did that above the line take place before the foundation of the world?

    And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Luke 10:18
    And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world ( τὴν οἰκουμένην - the inhabited earth): he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

    Did the sin of the devil take place before the foundation of the world?

    Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
