Wow...it has been years that I even considered God was lonely and thus He created man! What a far fetched thought! But in the end...God does have a wife and a bride. The greatest blessing of all !!!

Jeremiah 1:5 says this:

“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”

I don't think God knew only Jeremiah before he was formed in his mother's womb.

We also know from Ephesians 1:4

He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,

So...it is my opinion based on these scriptures and probably others, that not only did God know us before the foundation of the world. But we knew Him. We were spirit beings. I do not know if we had a body. I am fairly certain we had souls (perfect personalities). He had quite an assembly in the uttermost north, we are told in Isaiah 14.

How could God be lonely if He KNEW us and CHOSE US before the foundation of the world ??!!! He was also surrounded by angels. And GOD is LOVE. He was surrounded by LOVE.

To the question, why God created man? I have my personal opinion I concluded through studying the Word of God. And here goes:

It is my belief, that God knowing everything..the end from the beginning, decided to put Satan in his place after he and a third of the angels rebelled and were kicked out of heaven.

We know Satan was called Lucifer which means 'son of the Morning' and a 'Light bearer'. He was pretty high up there because he too had a throne.

Where do we suppose Lucifer was when he said those infamous words?

I will ascend to heaven, I will "I exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit upon the mount of assembly in the uttermost north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High."

When he pitted his will against his Creator, he was probably here on earth. Remember, God created the heavens and the earth. AND the earth was without form and void. Now why would God in all His Glory and in all His Beautiful Perfection and in all His Love make the earth without form and void? Doesn't make sense.

Is it no wonder why we have a difficult time surrendering OUR WILL to God's Perfect Will? Lord have Mercy on us! THY WILL be done on earth..in us AS Your Perfect Will is done in heaven.

So why was the earth without form and void before the creation of man? Because Satan and his minion of rebellious, fallen angels had polluted the earth on their way here when they were kicked out of heaven.

There is compelling evidence in Ezekiel 28 that Lucifer was on earth before God created Adam and Eve.

"you were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, the sardius, topaz, diamond, jasper, , beryl, onxy, sapphire, and emerald; your settings and your sockets and engravings were wrought in gold. On the day you were created,they were prepared. You were blameless and perfect in your ways from the day you were created until gross immorality and iniquity were found in you. Through the abundance of your commerce you were filled with lawlessness and violence and you sinned. Therefore I cast you out as a profane thing from the mountain of God and the guardian cherub drove you out from the midst of the stones of fire.

Your heard was proud and lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted our wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground;

When he violated his allegiance and trust to his Creator and KING, Lucifer committed treason in his attempt to overthrow God's heavenly Kingdom. This is when sin originated. In exalting himself above God, turning into a traitor, Lucifer became Satan which means adversary. Satan accused God of lying to the woman when he told her 'you shall not touch it (the tree of the knowledge of good and evil) neither shall you die.' (He dared to try to make GOD a liar???)

In accusing God he became the devil for the word means "accuser". Lucifer became both Satan and the Devil. So did God make the Devil? No. God created Lucifer and Satan, the devil made himself.

So as he fell, Lucifer became Satan, the Devil and in persuading others to follow him he introduced 'Evil' into the universe.

All this said........ now brings me to my theory why God created man.

As I pointed out at the beginning, we were already with God in spirit form. He knew us and we knew Him. I believe after Satan and his minion were thrown out, our Father and Creator called us together and told us He had an assignment for us. (Remember: many are CALLED but few are chosen.)

I believe He told us this mission He had was to sent us to earth. We were going to be given a body. Our memories for the most part would be erased. We would suffer but would be rewarded greatly! (trying to condense my thoughts here. )

Whosoever volunteered was chosen for this assignment.

Many were called to this assignment but few (?) were chosen. I believe we all have a longing to return to our Creator. The Word of God tells us we are not of this world. We love GOD because He first loved us! He chose us before the foundation of the world and He knew us before we were formed in our mother's womb.

So was God lonely?

I do not believe He was.. I believe we are here to prove to God's adversary, no matter how he lies, steals, kills, he cannot separate us from the LOVE of GOD. And what a spectacular miracle to not only belong to our Heavenly Father and Creator but to have HIM reside in us through His Word (Jesus Christ) and His Spirit.

Our reward: to be His Wife and His Bride. (Redeemed Israel will be the Wife and the Redeemed Gentile, the Bride of Christ).

Thanks for reading my thoughts, my opinion.

Blessings.
