…THE TRUTH IN HISTORY

· The first sin in (eternal history): PRIDE- Lucifer ‘the cherubim that covereth’ said ‘I will be like the Most High’

--Isaiah 14:13-14, Ezekiel 28:15,17a

· The first sinful action: REBELLION- Lucifer audaciously questions God’s authority and leads a treasonable mutineers against the serene, tranquil and holy abode of God’s heaven

--Revelation 12: 3-4a; 7-9, Ezekiel 28:16

· The first sin on earth: DECEPTION (or falsehood)- Satan (as serpent) lies to Eve (Adam’s wife) to discredit God about the tree of knowledge of good and evil

--Genesis 3:4-5

· The first sin by Humans (thus unwittingly decamping from Glory): DISOBEDIENCE- taking (i.e. eating) of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil contrary to God’s command or instruction

--Genesis 2:15-17; 3:6-7


CONSEQUENCES OF:


1. REBELLION IN HEAVEN:

· SPIRITUAL DEATH for Satan and his cohorts (fallen angels)

--Isaiah14:11, 19, Ezekiel 28:19, Mathew 25:41, Revelation 20:10

2. DISOBEDIENCE ON EARTH:

· PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL DEATH for fallen men who reject God and His son Jesus

--Genesis 2:17; 3:19, John 8:12; 51


THE MASTERMIND AND THE CAUSE:

Lucifer, now Satan the Devil and Adversary.

--John 8:44, Mathew 4:1-11


FOR YOUR INFORMATION

Continuous or a repetition of sin is rebellion before God.

It indicates un-repentance or lack of remorse; and grace does not cover such (2 Chronicles 36:15-16, Romans 6:1-2, Proverb 17:9).


Adam and Eve rebelled against God, chiefly because Adam the man of responsibility and the one in charge (Genesis 3:9) repeated his wife’s (Eve) folly and sin (Genesis 3:13): he took the fruit and ate of it (Genesis 3:6, 12), just as his wife had done earlier.


Thus (Adam yielded his authority to the foe) they became at par with Satan. Doing the very same thing Satan did in heaven: REBELLION—Ezekiel 28:18a.


Rebellion is the seed of Satan sown in man, that is, non stop sin; sinning without being capable of halting or erasing or escaping from.


CONCLUSION

Satan formerly called Lucifer will rather and gladly not have you know these truths or have his cover blown open. Don’t be in the dark concerning the truth or Satan or sin. Be informed and get prepared!
