About this episode

The episode explores the question of personal identity and the pre-mortal existence of individuals.

In the last episode, we partially answered the question we should all answer from time to time, “Who am I?” Today, we will consider additional aspects of your identity, particularly who you were before this life. To whatever extent good and evil were present in our first estate, one thing is clear, nothing then and there compares to the prevalence and extremes of good and evil here. For the first time ever, we are out of the presence of God, on our own, without memory of Him. For the first time ever, we are clothed with a physical body. Satan and his minions roam freely and are having their way with the world. While great wickedness is scattered across the face of the earth, this is also where God sent the “noble and great ones” from among His children. Abraham said: “Now, the Lord had shown unto me, Abraham, the intelligences that were organized before the world was; and among all these there were many of the noble and great ones; Are you among those noble and great ones to be the Lord’s rulers?
