“Abraham believed that God could raise the dead, symbolically meaning he indeed received Isaac from death.” [Hebrews 11:19]

Another ten years passed. Another morning had passed, the sun had not yet risen, and a faint mist drifted over the sky in the sky.

Abraham came out of the tent, and two servants had already prepared two donkeys—one carrying food, water, and a tent, and the other carrying a large bundle of dry firewood.

He saw that everything was ready, then entered the tent, said goodbye to his wife Sarah, and after a moment, carried his nine-year-old son Isaac out of the tent. Isaac was not fully awake, resting his head on his father’s shoulder, wrapping his arms around his father’s neck, and continued to sleep. Abraham walked ahead, with two servants leading donkeys and following. The group of four left Besheba and headed toward the northern mountains.

The sun rose, and Isaac ran ahead of his father, excitedly looking around. This was his first long journey since birth. The wildflowers, butterflies, distant green mountains, and thickets all attracted him, so he rarely spoke and wasn’t tired. Abraham followed behind Isaac, and except for stopping him when he ran away, Abraham remained silent. His eyes kept following his son, his eyes occasionally moistening as he quickly wiped them away with the hem of his clothes, fearing that the two servants leading the donkeys behind would notice something was wrong.

His mood was like the mountain path beneath his feet, rising and falling. God called him yesterday and said to him, “Take your son, your only son, your beloved Isaac, to Moriah, and offer him as a burnt offering on the mountain I have shown you.” He was so shocked he almost thought he had misheard.

Taking Isaac as a burnt offering? Does God want me to kill my son like the neighboring peoples and then burn him on dry wood? Why does God require me this way? Wasn’t it not God who personally promised me ten years ago in the oak grove of Hebron? Wasn’t Isaac’s name given by God Himself? Sarah did indeed give birth to Isaac a year later. Did God not see Isaac as my only Son? If Isaac was killed, how could God have fulfilled His earlier promise to become the father of many nations?

The first day’s itinerary ended, the servants set up tents, and lit bonfires. After dinner, Isaac fell asleep soundly in the tent. The two servants understood their master’s mood and hid aside to feed the donkey. Abraham sat alone by the campfire, silent. The night in the wilderness was heavy, and the stars seemed to be washed bright by the night, shining brilliantly.

Abraham was drawn to the stars and couldn’t help but look up at them. He suddenly recalled God’s promise from over twenty years ago: “Look up at the sky and count the stars—can you count them all?” Your descendants will be so many. Thinking of this, Abraham listened intently to Isaac’s soft snoring inside the tent. Suddenly, his heavy heart was opened—didn’t God’s promises always come true? This time, although I don’t understand what God wants me to do, God will surely prepare it. Even if my son dies, God will surely bring him back to life.

The next day, Abraham and his servants continued on their journey, traveling two hundred li from Beersheba to Moriah. Halfway was already traveled, but today it was all mountain roads, and all the way uphill. Isaac lost the strength and passion he had yesterday and sat on the donkey’s back. That night, when they camped, Mount Moria was already nearby.

On the third morning, the four of them arrived at the foot of the mountain. Abraham looked up at the mountain and said to his servant, “You and the donkey will wait here. I will go there with my children to worship God, and then we will return.”

Abraham took the dry wood from the donkey’s back, placed it on Isaac’s shoulder, took the fire and a sharp knife, and led Isaac toward the top of the mountain.

Not far away, Isaac stopped and asked, “Father.” “Child, what’s the matter?” “Look, we have fire and firewood, but where is the lamb for the sacrifice?” Abraham’s heart stirred; he looked up at the sky and after a moment said, “Child, God Himself will prepare the lamb for the burnt offering.” The two continued walking forward. When he reached the top of the mountain, Abraham came to the place God had indicated, built an altar of stone, placed wood on it, and then tied Isaac up behind his back and placed it on the wood.

Isaac did not struggle, did not cry out, but simply looked at his father with tears. Abraham held back his tears, said nothing, covered Isaac’s eyes with one hand, raised the knife high with the other, aimed it at his son’s heart, closed his eyes, and was about to exert force, when suddenly an angel called out to him from heaven: “Abraham!” Abraham! Abraham was stunned, stopped his hand, looked up at the sky, and replied, “I am here.” The angel said, “Do not lay hands on the child, do not harm him!”

Now I know you fear God because you offered your son—your only son. Hearing this, Abraham’s heart suddenly relaxed. Relaxed, he heard the sounds of struggle in the thicket. Looking closer, he saw a ram with two horns stuck in the dense thicket. He couldn’t help but cheer loudly, then untied Isaac, and the father and son knelt down to thank God for His preparation. Abraham took the sheep and offered them as burnt offerings in place of his sons.

The angel said again to Abraham, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Since you are willing to offer your son, your only son, to me, I swear by myself that I will bless you, making your offspring as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore.’ Your descendants will take possession of the cities of your enemies, and all nations under heaven will be blessed because of your descendants, because you have obeyed my words.

Abraham’s faith was tested again, and as he had said, he went down the mountain with his son, and God indeed prepared the lamb for the sacrifice. Because of this, Abraham is later called the father of faith. However, God’s tempering of Abraham was just a prelude.

The reason God is so “cold and heartless” is to help people somewhat understand how much pain and sacrifice God endured when He voluntarily offered His only Son as a burnt offering, when His Son silently wept and willingly gave his life. God did not allow Abraham to offer his own son, but God did offer his own son. God does this entirely out of love.

“The people of Sodom, Gomorrah, and their nearby towns suffered the punishment of eternal fire for their debauchery and indulgence in perverse lust. All these things have become our warnings. ”‭[Jude 1:7]

As dawn broke, Sodom’s broad and solid city walls revealed their black outlines, like giant beasts lurking and guarding the entire city. The air was fresh and silent; since the city was established hundreds of years ago, every morning seemed to be the same. Most of the stars in the sky had disappeared, and the rest blinked with their sleepy eyes, soon to disappear as well.

Yet on the distant horizon, there is a floating bright spot, like a drifting thread of fire, flying toward the predetermined destination. The whole city was sound asleep, except for Lot’s family, who stayed awake all night. The angel urged Lot to flee with his family quickly, because God’s judgment was imminent. But Lot hesitated and remained silent, unable to decide.

He looked around—was he really just going to let go of most of his life’s savings? No one could change the time God had predetermined. The angel knew the situation was dire and urgent. Seeing that Lot was still hesitant, he resolutely held them back and hurried out of the room, heading toward the southeast city gate. One angel dragged Lot and his wife, and another angel dragged Lot’s two daughters. The two daughters were attentive, already carrying rations and wine.

The whole family was dragged out of the city by a strong angel, panting but not daring to complain. Everything that had happened from last night until now made them realize how severe and terrifying the angel’s warning was.

At the moment of farewell, an angel pointed to the mountains to the southeast and said to Lot’s family, “Run for your lives quickly!” Quick, escape to that mountain! When you arrive there, immediately hide in the cave; do not come out, do not climb high to look back, and never linger on the plain, or you will be destroyed.

Lot was panting and troubled, and said to the angel, “My lord, please do not do this.” The servant was kindly saved by your kindness, but I am old, my wife is in poor health, and my two daughters are weak. The mountain is too far from here, and we are too strong to climb the mountain path. It will probably take us a whole day to get there, and we absolutely cannot escape to the mountain before God’s disaster strikes.

The disaster of God’s coming will catch up with us halfway, and my whole family will surely die! Look, that city isn’t far from here, it’s easy to reach, and it’s a small city. Please let me escape to that small city to survive! “Alright, I promise you I won’t destroy that small town.

But you should run away quickly. Because God loves you, I must not act before you arrive. After saying this, the angel strode away. [From then on, the city was called Zoar, meaning ‘small town,’ located on the southeastern shore of the Dead Sea in Israel. Lot led his wife and two daughters to flee to Zour, and when they arrived two or three hours later, the sun had already risen.

They didn’t dare delay and quickly found a cave to hide. Moments later, a tearing screech echoed from the sky, sharp as a group of women screaming desperately, making one’s hair stand on end. The scream seemed right beside their ears, as if it would pierce their eardrums. The whole family instinctively covered their ears with both hands.

In an instant, the sound of explosions first rumbled like rolling thunder, then densely packed like massive hail hitting the ground.

The earth shook violently, like the drumhead of a giant drum being struck by an angel, the mountain swayed like a drunkard swinging in swing, or as if riding on the back of a raging giant elephant. At this terrifying moment, Mrs. Lot suddenly ran out of the cave, climbed up a high slope outside, leaned against a huge rock, and looked toward Sodom with her hands. Maybe she was just too curious and wanted to see what was really happening.

Perhaps she was too anxious, worried about whether her family business could escape God’s wrath. Or maybe she was too stubborn, disregarding the angel’s warning, thinking that leaving so far would mean no danger. She looked far and saw the sky filled with meteor chunks burning like rockets, emitting blue, almost transparent flames, as large as houses and as small as stone mills, crashing down toward Sodom and Omorah.

The ground was engulfed in flames, with no trace of the city as before. This was the last scene she saw in the human world. In an instant, the shockwave roared like invisible giant waves. The sudden heat was like molten steel being fired, compressed air like a cannonball, filled with the pungent smell of sulfur, and the dust it carried was like a white tsunami on the ground.

Mrs. Lot died instantly; the heat scorched her body, the shockwaves pressed her tightly against the stones behind her, dust wrapping her, and she froze into a statue like a pillar of salt.

That same morning, northwest of Sodom, in the land of Hebron, in the oak grove where Abraham had received the angel the day before, Abraham also saw sulfur meteors shooting from the sky and heard terrifying tremors coming from far away Sodom.

He stood on a high vantage point and looked out, seeing thick smoke billowing like black smoke from a kiln. Thinking of his conversation with God yesterday, Abraham feared God even more, and remembered that his nephew Lot was still alive and dead, so he sighed and shook his head to leave.

He did not expect that Lot’s two daughters would soon get their father drunk and commit incest with him, becoming pregnant one after another, and each bore a son named Moab and Ammon. So, how will Moab, Ammon, and Isaac, the son God promised Abraham to bear, treat each other in the future?

“God rescued Lot, a righteous man who was deeply distressed by the debauchery and licentiousness of the wicked; for as he lived among them, he saw and heard their lawless deeds day after day, and his righteous soul was tormented.”[Genesis 13:10].

After the three finished eating, they said goodbye to Abraham and then walked toward the great city of Sodom.

Abraham stepped forward and said, “God, will you destroy both the righteous and the wicked?” If there are fifty righteous men in the city, will you still destroy it?

Would you forgive that city for the sake of fifty righteous people? You will never be blind and destroy both the righteous and the wicked. You are the judge of the world; do you not act impartially? “If I find fifty righteous men in Sodom, I will forgive the whole city because of them.” “If there were only forty-five righteous men, would you destroy the whole city just because you lost five righteous men?” “If I find forty-five righteous men in the city, I will not destroy that city.”

“What if forty righteous men are found there?” “For the sake of those forty people, I will not destroy that city.”

“What if only thirty righteous men are found there?” “For the sake of those thirty people, I will not destroy that city.” “What if only twenty righteous men are found there?” “For the sake of those twenty people, I will not destroy that city.” “Lord, do not be angry. Let me ask one last time: what if only ten righteous men are found there?” “For the sake of those ten people, I will not destroy that city.” ‭ Knowing that God is righteous, Abraham departed with a sense of reverence, yet his thoughts remained fixed on his nephew Lot, who was in the city of Sodom.

At dusk, two angels arrived at Sodom. Lot, sitting at the city gate, saw them and immediately felt awe, insisting they stay at his home. Although there were fewer than ten righteous people in the city, God would not allow even one righteous person to die innocently; instead, He wanted to save him and his entire family.

The two angels were about to save Lot, so they followed him into the city and headed toward his house. In the city at dusk, Lot led two clear and handsome angels through the bustling crowds. On both sides of the street were numerous taverns, brothels, and temples.

The men on the street all turned to stare at the three of them. Lot and the others all knew the shepherd and wealthy man living here, but the two young men had never met before. They exchanged knowing glances; tonight they were having a good time.

Late at night, after hosting two guests at home and about to let them sleep, footsteps suddenly rang out like a storm outside. The door was pounded so hard it was about to collapse, and a wave of alcohol rushed into the room. Men shouted loudly, “Lot, where are the two handsome men you brought into town that evening?” Hand it over now! ”

“Rod, you old man really knows how to pick out beauties. How could they enjoy it alone? Hand them over, and we will enjoy them together. “Hurry up, hurry up, I can’t easily see such a beauty, I can’t take it anymore.” I want to deal with them first. ”

“Queue, queue, queue, we all have a share. Lot, hand them over quickly! “All the men in the city had gathered; this was a celebration they rarely encountered.

Outsiders knew about their cruelty and never dared enter the city, yet tonight, two young and handsome men came to their door. They couldn’t hold back anymore and poured their heart out, unwilling to miss this rare opportunity. Under the light, Luo De’s face turned pale with fright. He looked back at the two guests, but they remained calm and composed, saying nothing.

Luo De gently unlatched the door, quickly walked out, then closed the door. Everyone quieted down in unison. Lot said to everyone, “Brothers, please do not do such evil things!” I have two daughters, and they’re still virgins. I’m willing to hand them over for you to do as you wish, but please don’t insult them—they’re guests in my house. Before he could finish, the crowd’s roars surged like a flood, drowning out Lot: “Who cares about your virgin maid!” Our fun is playing with handsome men.

You rustic native, haha! “Get lost, old man, don’t refuse a toast and drink a penalty drink.” “You country bumpkin, you dare to control us. Watch me teach you how to be so obedient. “Rod was about to defend himself when the door suddenly opened. Behind the door, an arm reached out and pulled Rod into the room, only to be locked again.

The two angels said to Lot, “We are angels sent by God.” We have come to destroy this city and the city of Omorah. These two major cities were rife with evil, and the calls to denounce their misdeeds had long been heard before the gods.

God gave them enough time to repent, but they only became more severe. You and your two daughters, their fiancés, and any other relatives, hurry and escape here overnight, heading to the high mountains to the southeast, and don’t stay on the plains.

Because after dawn, the plains here will be completely wiped out. “At dawn, the servant sent by Lot to find his daughter’s fiancé returned empty-handed. The two men had also been surrounded by the crowd surrounding Lot’s house last night. They told the servants that Lot was scaring them and that they didn’t want to leave.

Other relatives gave the same answer. The angel’s expression was grave, and he said to Lot, “Get up, hurry, take your wife and two daughters and leave, so that when Sodom is punished for sin, you will be destroyed with you.”

Lot pondered silently. He looked at the wealth and property he had accumulated over decades, at the servants who, though tense, none were willing to leave, and at the panicked wife and two daughters, yet he still found it hard to make the final decision to leave this affluent city. He hesitated and felt uneasy.

Will God really destroy this city? How could these two handsome but bare-handed men destroy such a magnificent city?

“The situation at the coming of the Son of Man was like the days of Noah. Before the flood came, people ate and drank, marrying men and women, until the day Noah entered the ark; They were completely unaware until the flood swept them all away. ”‭ ‭[ Matthew 24:37-38 ]

The sky collapsed, and the ice curtain shattered like a glass ceiling. Fragments fell, passing through the atmosphere, rising into white mist, which quickly condensed into a black curtain of rain. Rain poured down, the air being squeezed so tightly that there seemed to be nowhere to hide. Darkness spread everywhere, thick as ink, rain cold like a black arrow shooting straight at the ground. Thunder rumbled across the land, rising and falling one after another, like the neighing of ten thousand horses, shaking the universe. Lightning tore open the black sky like lightning, and like a fleeting nightmare, a terrifying scene instantly appeared across heaven and earth.

The ground is gone, the grass is gone, the houses are gone, the forest is gone, the hills are gone, and the whole land is covered in vast water. Under the pressure of water, the surface shattered like an eggshell, shattering into pieces; the spring of the underground abyss erupted like volcanic lava, and great waters surged into the sky. The earth sways like a drunkard, water rushes wildly, and waves surge violently.

Above the vast ocean, only a lone boat remained, drifting in the rapids, but the dimensions of the ship set by the gods kept it exceptionally stable and unlikely to capsize. Between heaven and earth, above the primordial wilderness, only the aura and life inside the ship still remained. Nearly two thousand years of gentle times before the Great Flood are gone forever; evil and unrepentant humanity is swept away by the flood, billions of souls sink into boundless darkness, awaiting the final judgment of the apocalypse.

Inside the enclosed ship, Noah’s family flickered by candlelight dispelling the darkness in the cabin. They heard the heavy rain pounding like drumsticks on the hull, day and night for forty days, making their speech mute, and they remained silent. God’s judgment on the earth made them tremble in fear, and God’s salvation made them deeply awe-inspired. Darkness, bumps, cold, and noise bring the animals inside into a dormant, almost hibernating sleep; the instincts and nature bestowed by God make them gentle and quiet.

After 40 days of heavy rain, the rain stopped, the water gradually calmed, the earth became a water ball, muddy and yellow everywhere, and even the highest mountain was submerged. The underwater crust continues to drift and collide, with constant rumbling echoes. A massive deep trench begins to form, towering mountains slowly emerge, and the crust overlaps, leaving hidden dangers for future earthquakes.

After 150 days passed, God favored Noah and the beasts and livestock in the ark, causing the wind to blow over the earth, and the waters began to recede. God also stopped the boat on the summit of Ararat, so it no longer drifted.

Another 121 days passed. Noah released the dove. At dusk, the gentle dove carried back green olive leaves, and Noah knew that the water on the earth had receded, the soil had appeared, and the plants were beginning to grow anew. The dove carrying olive leaves has also become a symbol of today’s peace, symbolizing harmony between God and humanity.

Noah continued to wait patiently inside the ship. A whole year passed after the flood. It was February 27th, with clear skies and a revival of spring. Noah led his family out of the boat, and all the animals had left.

Noah offered sacrifices to God, thanking God for His salvation. God made a covenant with Noah by pointing to the rainbow that pierced the sky. “I placed a rainbow in the clouds as a sign of my covenant with the earth. When I make the clouds cover the earth, rainbows will appear within the clouds. In this way, I will remember the covenant I made with you and all living beings, and the waters will no longer flood and drown all living beings. ”

To protect the weak among mankind, God gave Noah a commandment: “Anyone who kills or kills, whether man or beast, I will demand a blood debt from them.” Whoever kills will be held accountable for their blood debt. Whoever kills others will also be killed; Because man was created by God in His own image. To shorten the period of excessive human sinfulness, the lifespan God set for people was greatly shortened; people no longer lived eight or nine hundred years, but only 120 years.

From then on, the Earth turned a new page, and humanity began to live and reproduce. Noah’s three sons became the founders of today’s nations and tribes. As a result, various human cultures recorded floods, and rainbows appeared after the rain, reminding people of God’s covenant with Noah.

But the covenant of Noah is merely the first foreshadowing of the new covenant God will establish with mankind. Noah entered the ark because of faith in God, and today people must believe in the Son of God to enter eternal salvation. Yesterday, the ark of salvation was built by Noah himself; today, God’s ‘ark’ of salvation must be the sacrificial body of the Son of God.

But how many times must humanity repeat the history of sin before understanding God’s good intentions?

For your enemy, the devil, is like a roaring lion, roaming everywhere seeking someone to devour. “[1 Peter 5:8]

She suddenly turned her head and followed the sound, seeing the giant snake coiled in the tree, the serpent’s cold, stern eyes, its tongue swirling like flames, and the red and yellow patterns swaying in the mottled sunlight.

“How can snakes talk?” she was surprised, stood up, and walked toward the snake. When Satan saw Eve approaching, he was secretly delighted and repeated his earlier question: “Did God really say you would not eat from any tree in the garden?” Its voice was hoarse, yet carried a hint of magnetism.

Eve showed a puzzled expression. How could a snake in a tree speak? But in her pure and innocent heart, there was no trickery, like a four- or five-year-old child answering a con artist’s question. Although confused, she still answered the snake’s question. She searched her memory of the divine command her husband had told her: “We can eat the fruit from the trees in the garden, but we must not eat the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden.”

God once commanded, ‘You shall not eat the fruit or touch it, or you will die.’

“” A cold smile seemed to appear at the corner of Snake’s stern mouth, “She really misremembered the divine decree. Striking her first was definitely the best strategy. I have an opportunity, and the god’s plan is about to be disrupted by me!”

I will provoke her lusts, make her ignore God’s warnings, and in the end, sin like me, rebel against God…” – Satan inside the potential serpent’s body thought excitedly, but it casually commented: “You may not die! God said this because He knew that after you ate the fruit from that tree, your eyes would be opened, and you would be able to discern good from evil like God.

“Not necessarily to die, like God”—Eve had never heard or thought of these words. That’s right, what exactly is death? Is it as painful as falling? Where did he die? How come I never saw it in Eden? Why didn’t God show us what death was? Is death really that terrifying? Like God?

God is so glorious, holy, almighty, merciful, yet awe-inspiring.

After eating that fruit, will I be like a god?! Is God not letting us eat the forbidden fruit because he fears we will be like Him? Maybe I won’t die if I eat the forbidden fruit. Even if I die, maybe it’s not scary.

但是我也许能像上帝呢？蛇静静的看着夏娃，关键时刻的沉默胜过任何的言语。“哼，上帝最完美最精致最倾心的作品马上要被我打破了。她的心动了。她一旦吃了禁果，就是悖逆神的禁令，不听神的话就是犯罪，犯罪的后果就是心灵与神隔绝，肉体进入死亡。她一旦犯罪，她的男人不也马上束手就擒吗？

哈！”沉默是无声的力量。

在蛇的注视下，夏娃的鼻尖渗出了汗珠，她用神给的自由思考能力盘算着，用神给的自由意志试图做出艰难的抉择。她抬头看蛇，想再确认蛇说过的话，蛇的目光却如无底之湖。

阳光刺到夏娃的眼，她感到轻微的眩晕，不由伸手拄在树干上。“你看你死了吗？” 带有磁性的沙哑声音突然再次响起。夏娃轻微颤栗一下，手触电般离开树干，才发现自己刚才碰到了树。但她什么变化也没有觉察到。“不可吃，也不可摸，否则你必定死。嘶嘶，你看你没有死。

正如我刚刚所说。你知道神是欺骗你了吧。因为你吃了那果子就会像神一样了。

” 说完话，蛇再次沉入静默。夏娃看那禁果，它从来没有那样充满诱惑，魅力和光彩。它到底是怎样的滋味呢？吃了它我会变成怎样呢？我为什么不能尝一口呢？哪怕是一口啊。她走上前一步，踮起脚尖，有颗禁果刚刚悬在她头顶上面，她抓住那果子，轻微旋了下，果子落入她手中。

她拿到鼻前细闻，有陌生的香气。她闭上眼，深深的吸口气，轻轻的啃了一口那禁果。那瞬间她身体轻微的颤栗，头眩晕如同微醉，她感到自己的心灵和身体发生了奇异但清晰的变化。

这变化让她马上感到一种新的情绪-惶恐。恐惧中，她再看那蛇，从蛇的眼中看到了阴森和嘲讽。从蛇的目光中，她突然注意到自己赤裸的身体，脸霎时通红，感到了汹涌的羞愧。

慌乱中，她夺路而逃，手里紧紧抓着那果子。她必须马上找到丈夫，让他也吃下那果子.

From then on, Adam and Eve worked hard to obtain food. They gradually aged. They knew that one day they would die.

“Satan said: I will ascend to heaven; I will lift up my throne above the stars of God; I will sit on the mountain of gathering, at the far north of the world. I will rise above the high clouds; I want to be equal to the Supreme. [Isaiah 14:14]

Satan, the angel known as the “Bright Star, Son of the Morning,” stood outside Eden, gazing at the beautiful scenery and the intimate embrace of the man and woman. Jealousy and hatred surged like volcanic lava, seemingly about to burst through his chest.

When this beautiful blue planet took shape under God’s command, he and many angels watched together, marveling in admiration. A truly unique planet—why was it only built and prepared for this couple, while he himself was just serving on a military assignment?

Am I not beautiful enough? Didn’t my beauty and charm make a third of my companions willingly serve as my subordinates? Is it because I lack ability? Am I not strong enough to be like a god, able to challenge him directly? Without this couple, wouldn’t I be the center of attention in the entire universe?

But why did the God who first create me create them? Why does that man have divine dignity, while I am forever a servant? Why is it that woman is so charming and charming, while I am destined to be neither male nor female? Why is this blue Earth called their home, while I am busily floating in the air?

Why does God scatter countless stars at night just for their after-dinner viewing? Those enormous galaxies, in their eyes, are but faint fireflies! And how much effort do we angels have to put in to keep them running! This God, what a waste and injustice He is doing is truly wasteful!

I must destroy God’s plan. Didn’t God give that man and woman complete free will? Isn’t God not afraid of their rebellion? Didn’t God spoil them to the point of giving them only one commandment? I will lead them into sin and disobey God’s commands.

They may not realize that God’s word is no joke, and may think that not listening to God’s word is insignificant. They have no idea that the consequence of betrayal is death; they have not fully experienced life and do not understand the terror of death.

Exactly! I will tempt them, because once they sinned, I would completely destroy God’s entire plan and expectations for them. At that time, God will surely fulfill the warning, and they will surely die and disappear from the earth for good. Thus, the earth will become a wasteland, and I will once again become the center of attention in the universe, with no other creature above me again. At that time, I will incite more angels to follow me and thus oppose God. I want to transcend God, be God myself, and let all creation worship me.

Thinking of this, he gave a cold laugh. Yes, only by cleverly making them willingly sin, then God has nothing to say. He looked toward Eden, where the beautiful Eve had worked with her husband for half a day. It was nearly noon, sitting resting beside the flowers, sweat beading on her forehead and cheeks flushed faintly from labor. Was she planning to wait until her husband rested before eating together? But she was clearly hungry, because she was not far from that “tree of the knowledge of good and evil,” staring blankly at its fruit.

This is a wonderful opportunity. The perceptive Satan had long seen a snake coiled on the branch of that tree, resting. God forbade people from eating the fruit of that tree, so the serpent was enjoying undisturbed peace. Snakes are the most cunning animals in the park. Satan seized the opportunity, sneaked into the serpent’s body, and the serpent immediately became a tool controlled by Satan.

The snake moved its body, its red and yellow stripes reflecting mottled sunlight through the green leaves. Its cold eyes fixed on the woman, its message stirring like flames. It said to the woman under the tree, “Did God really say you would not eat any fruit from the trees in the garden?” ”

The woman was startled and looked toward the source of the voice, seeing that it was a snake speaking. No animal in the park has ever spoken human language, and snakes have always preferred quiet solitude. So why did this snake speak today? How does it know God’s commandments? The woman stood up and walked over.
