Summary. Adam, the first human ancestor per Genesis and the Divine Principle, was created to perfect his individual character, marry Eve to form the original four-position foundation with God, and exercise loving dominion over creation. In DP his Fall — the misuse of love mediated by the archangel — severed humanity’s lineage from God and required the long providence of restoration culminating in the Second Adam (Jesus) and the Lord of the Second Advent.
