THE FIRST BOOK OF ADAM AND EVE

The second tempting of Adam and Eve: The devil takes on the form of a beguiling light


1 ADAM+EVE - CHAPTER 27

*1* WHEN Satan, the hater of all good, saw how they continued in prayer, and how God communed with them, and comforted them, and how He had accepted their offering--Satan made an apparition.

*2* He began with transforming his hosts; in his hands was a flashing fire, and they were in a great light.

*3* He then placed his throne near the mouth of the cave because he could not enter into it by reason of their prayers. And he shed light into the cave, until the cave glistened over Adam and Eve; while his hosts began to sing praises.

*4* And Satan did this, in order that when Adam saw the light, he should think within himself that it was a heavenly light, and that Satan's hosts were angels; and that God had sent them to watch at the cave, and to give him light in the darkness.

*5* So that when Adam came out of the cave and saw them, and Adam and Eve bowed to Satan, then he would overcome Adam thereby, and a second time humble him before God.

*6* When, therefore, Adam and Eve saw the light, fancying it was real, they strengthened their hearts; yet, as they were trembling, Adam said to Eve:--

*7* "Look at that great light, and at those many songs of praise, and at that host standing outside that do not come in to us, do not tell us what they say, or whence they come, or what is the meaning of this light; what those praises are; wherefore they have been sent hither, and why they do not come in.

*8* "If they were from God, they would come to us in the cave, and would tell us their errand"

*9* Then Adam stood up and prayed unto God with a fervent heart, and said:--

*10* "O Lord, is there in the world another god than Thou, who created angels and filled them with light, and sent them to keep us, who would come with them?

*11* "But, lo, we see these hosts that stand at the mouth of the cave; they are in a great light; they sing loud praises. If they are of some other god than Thou, tell me; and if they are sent by Thee, inform me of the reason for which Thou hast sent them."

*12* No sooner had Adam said this, than an angel from God appeared unto him in the cave, who said unto him, "O Adam, fear not. This is Satan and his hosts; he wishes to deceive you as he deceived you at first. For the first time, he was hidden in the serpent; but this time he is come to you in the similitude of an angel of light; in order that, when you worshipped him, he might enthrall you, in the very presence of God."

*13* Then the angel went from Adam, and seized Satan at the opening of the cave, and stripped him of the feint he had assumed, and brought him in his own hideous form to Adam and Eve; who were afraid of him when they saw him.

*14* And the angel said to Adam, "This hideous form has been his ever since God made him fall from heaven. He could not have come near you in it; therefore did he transform himself into an angel of light."

*15* Then the angel drove away Satan and his hosts from Adam and Eve, and said unto them, "Fear not; God who created you, will strengthen you."

*16* And the angel went from them.

*17* But Adam and Eve remained standing in the cave; no consolation came to them; they were divided in their thoughts.

*18* And when it was morning they prayed; and then went out to seek the garden. For their hearts were towards it, and they could get no consolation for having left it.


[1 Adam+Eve 27:1] - WHEN Satan, the hater of all good, saw how they continued in prayer, and how God communed with them, and comforted them, and how He had accepted their offering--Satan made an apparition.

*1* After witnessing their persistent prayer and witnessing God's communion and comfort towards them, as well as His acceptance of their offering, Satan (who envies or hates good things) decided to show up to cause another trouble; he manifested himself again.

*2* The Devil was not happy because God was reconciled with them, to the point of communion with them, making covenant with them and accepting their offering, after their sin.

*3* The envy Satan had towards them was related to the Cain's envy at Abel when God accepted Abel's offering but would not accept his.


[1 Adam+Eve 27:2] - He began with transforming his hosts; in his hands was a flashing fire, and they were in a great light.

*4* Satan initiated the process of changing his demons/angels into some 'ministers of light,' holding within his hands a blazing fire, which cast upon them a magnificent radiance.

*5* That there was the beginning of Satan's lying wonders or false miracles, which artificial and film-trick he crafted with the flashing fire that created tricking light or false appearance.


[1 Adam+Eve 27:3] - He then placed his throne near the mouth of the cave because he could not enter into it by reason of their prayers. And he shed light into the cave, until the cave glistened over Adam and Eve; while his hosts began to sing praises.

*6* Then, Satan moved his throne to a spot close to the cave's opening, for he was unable to enter due to the power of their prayers: for their fervent Prayers were too hot for the devils.

*7* However, Satan shed illuminating light into the cave, and he bathed Adam and Eve in a brilliant glow, causing the cave to sparkle.

*8* Meanwhile, Satan's angelic retinue commenced singing praises with joyful voices as Choir or Church choristers, in the open crusade; but that was just the first "Church of Satan."

[Revelation 2:9‭-‬10] — …I am aware of the slander of those who falsely claim to be Jews, but are in fact a church of Satan. Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer tribulation for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.


[1 Adam+Eve 27:4] - And Satan did this, in order that when Adam saw the light, he should think within himself that it was a heavenly light, and that Satan's hosts were angels; and that God had sent them to watch at the cave, and to give him light in the darkness.

*9* With intentions cloaked in deceit, Satan orchestrated the deceptive plan: He manipulated the situation so that when Adam beheld the radiant brilliance, he would be led to believe it was a divine light radiating from celestial beings, whom he would perceive as God's angels.

*10* This cunning scheme created the illusion that these supposed angels had been dispatched to the cave specifically to illuminate the darkness, tricking Adam into false beliefs.

*11* The devil knew mankind needed light that moment, and while they were praying for light Satan offered them false light, to make it seem God was answering their prayers through them:

[2 Corinthians 11:13-15] — "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."


[1 Adam+Eve 27:5] - So that when Adam came out of the cave and saw them, and Adam and Eve bowed to Satan, then he would overcome Adam thereby, and a second time humble him before God.

*12* The purpose behind this was to ensure that when Adam emerged from the cave and laid eyes upon them, he would be influenced to worship Satan: By successfully manipulating Adam and Eve into submitting to him, Satan would seize an opportunity to overpower Adam and subsequently, humble him once again in front of God.

*13* Never you worship Mary or her apparitions, never worship any saint or man of God, never you worship any angel of God: Avoid "False Humility" especially that of calling a man, 'father in the Lord' 'father' or 'Daddy' whether Saints, Angels, or Men of God:

[Colossians 2:18 GNT] — Do not allow yourselves to be condemned by anyone who claims to be superior because of special visions (apparitions) and who insists on false humility and the worship of angels. For no reason at all, such people are all puffed up by their human way of thinking.
