MEANWHILE, ADAM AND EVE HAVE NOT EVEN BEGUN THEIR GREAT COMMISSION OF ENLARGING EDEN'S BORDERS AND THEIR FAITH BEGINS TO WAVER IN THEIR COVENANT WITH YAHWEH ELOHIM. SATAN IS ABLE TO ENTER THE GARDEN BECAUSE OF THIS WEAKNESS IN THEIR FAITH. ADAM AND EVE WERE TO BE WATCHMEN OVER THE BORDERS OF EDEN.
SATAN, AFTER HE ENTERS EDEN, IS DESCRIBED AS A "CUNNING SERPENT" WHICH WE KNOW IS A SYMBOL FOR SATAN. IN THE LAST BOOK OF THE BIBLE, REVELATION, SATAN IS DESCRIBED AS A DRAGON WHO IS THE SAME THING AS THE ANCIENT SERPENT. THE SCRIPTURE READS:
"HE SEIZED THE DRAGON, THAT ANCIENT SERPENT, WHO IS THE DEVIL, OR SATAN, AND BOUND HIM FOR A THOUSAND YEARS." REV 20:2
SATAN ON EARTH IS DESCRIBED AS A "BEAST OF THE FIELD", A "DRAGON", OR A "SERPENT" TO EMPHASIZE THE LOWLY CHARACTERISTICS AND BEHAVIORS OF THIS ANGEL. HIS CARES ARE ONLY FOR HIMSELF AND FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.
HE BEGINS HIS PLAN OF ATTACK BY TRYING TO GET EVE TO DOUBT GOD'S WORD AND AT THE SAME TIME STIR UP HER PRIDE AND EGO. HE SAYS:
"DID GOD REALLY SAY, 'YOU MUST NOT EAT FROM ANY TREE IN THE GARDEN?'" SHE RESPONDS BY SAYING THAT GOD DID NOT SAY THAT BUT SAID THAT THEY MUST NOT EAT FROM ONE TREE, THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL. SATAN THEN RESPONDS BY SAYING, "YOU WILL NOT SURELY DIE...FOR GOD KNOWS THAT WHEN YOU EAT OF IT YOUR EYES WILL BE OPENED, AND YOU WILL BE LIKE GOD, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL." GEN 3: 2-4
THE TACTIC OF MAKING HUMANS DOUBT GOD'S WORD AND THEN STOKING ONE'S EGO AND PRIDE IS THE MODUS OPERANDI OF SATAN FROM THE BEGINNING UNTIL THE END OF TIME. THIS IS THE TACTIC HE TRIED BUT FAILED ON YESHUA, JESUS, AT THE BEGINNING OF HIS MINISTRY DESCRIBED IN MATTHEW 4: 1-11 AND IT IS THE TACTIC HE USES AND WILL USE MORE THAN EVER IN THE END TIMES ON THE BRIDE OF YESHUA. THE APOSTLE PAUL SAYS TO THE CORINTHIAN CHURCH:
"BUT I AM AFRAID THAT JUST AS EVE WAS DECEIVED BY THE SERPENT'S CUNNING, YOUR MINDS MAY SOMEHOW BE LED ASTRAY FROM YOUR SINCERE AND PURE DEVOTION TO CHRIST, THE MESSIAH." 2 COR 11:3
