7. The Devil and all his works

Ministry School 2008: Note that the action of Satan's deception of Adam and Eve and the consequent murder of them by that was all with the purpose of God for creation in his view. That is, Eph 5:31-32 is seen in the light of Christ but was there at creation and not hidden. Satan knew it and was and is rejecting it. From this angle, Gen. 3:15 is a declaration that the wisdom of God in creation will not be thwarted. All of history subsequent to this is the clash of the two wisdoms, and we are in the battle!
