<![CDATA[Need some clarification, please]]>228 How can you reject God when you were dead and He brought you
to life? Then He makes you die, then He brings you to life, then
to Him you return.

I want to assume that the term "dead" in the first sentence is referring to before one is born.

234 And We said to the angels ?Yield to Adam,? so they yielded
except for Satan, he refused and became arrogant, and became of
the rejecters.
235 And We said ?O Adam, reside you and your mate in the paradise,
and eat from it bountifully as you both wish, and do not approach
this tree, else you will be of those who have wronged.?

Who is "we?"

Thanks for any help you can provide.

The story is of the jews being destroyed twice, thus two deaths;

17.7
If ye did well, ye did well for yourselves; if ye did evil, (ye did it) against yourselves. So when the second of the warnings came to pass, (We permitted your enemies) to disfigure your faces, and to enter your Temple as they had entered it before, and to visit with destruction all that fell into their power.

I was aware of the feud in the heavens...but not sure about people existing before this life on earth.

http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majestic_plural
It's where, if someone is important enough, they refer to themselves as "we" even though they're only one person. Kings and Queens do it, and it's also found in the previous scriptures.
Jewish scholars point to the Majestic plural or the royal we in many verses of the Hebrew Bible or Tanakh
This article also mentions the Qur'ans usage of it too.
