Genesis 3:1-7 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God really said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.' "Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was beautiful to the eyes and a tree to be desired, and that would give one understanding, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they knew that they were naked.
There is, however, much more to this story than what meets the eye; in fact something so terrible happened here, that it would continue to affect the lives and eternal destinies of billions of souls born into the world for thousands of years to come. Who was this serpent? And what exactly was this tree of knowledge of good and evil all about?
The word “serpent” of Genesis 3 was translated from the Hebrew noun “Nachash [H5175]”, which is not your ordinary snake. A Nachash in the Bible was actually an angelic being called a “Seraphim”, which resembled a fiery, feathered, flying dragon. In Isaiah 6, seraphims are seen hovering above the throne of God.
Isaiah 6:1-3 In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims (Nachash H8314), each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
Although Nachash are sometimes described as having wings and able to fly, in Isaiah 27 we find a Nachash named Leviathin described as a “dragon that is in the sea”.
Isaiah 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan, the piercing serpent “Nachash H8314”; even leviathan that crooked serpent “Nachash H8314”; and He shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
In Isaiah 14 the Nachash is described as a fiery flying serpent.
Isaiah 14:29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's “Nachash H5175” root shall come forth a viper, and his fruit shall be a fiery “Nachash H8314” flying serpent “Nachash H8314”.
In the book of Revelation, Satan is called both a dragon and a serpent.
Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.
Now to analyze the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Trees in the Bible can also be a reference to living beings, such as in the following passages.
Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree (H6086) planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Ezekiel 17:24 And all the trees (H6086) of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree (H6086), have exalted the low tree (H6086), have dried up the green tree (H6086), and have made the dry tree (H6086) to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.
In Ezekiel 31, Lucifer is the tree that God made fair by the multitude of his branches, which all the other trees of the Garden of Eden envied. It was Lucifer who exalted himself in his pride, and whom God drove out of Eden because of his wickedness.
Ezekiel 31:9-11 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees (H6086) of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him. Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he has shot up his top among the thick foliage, and his heart is lifted up in his height; I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
Now to analyze what the forbidden fruit represents, which was a product of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat thereof, you shall surely die.”
There were 2 trees described as being “in the midst of the garden”: the tree of life, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Bible scholars are in agreement that the tree of life is a representation of Christ, the Son of God, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil was Lucifer; thus both the Son of God and Lucifer were present and living "in the midst of the garden”. Before Adam and Eve fell into sin and experienced spiritual “death”, their bodies were bodies of light, and they radiated with light. Following is a passage from an ancient manuscript called “The Cave of Treasures.”
When quietness was reigning over all the Ranks [of the Angels], and the hosts [of heaven], God said, "Come ye, let Us make man in Our image, and according to Our likeness." Now by this word "Us" He maketh known concerning the Glorious Persons [of the Trinity]. And when the angels heard these words they were in fear and trembling, saying one to another, "We shall see a great miracle today, the likeness of God our Maker." And they saw the right hand of God opened out flat, and stretched out over the whole world; and all creatures were collected in the palm of His right hand. And they saw that He took from the whole mass of the earth one grain of dust, and from the whole nature of water one drop of water, and from all the air which is above one puff of wind, and from the whole nature of fire a little of its heat and warmth. And the angels saw that when these four feeble (or inert) materials were placed in the palm of His right hand, that is to say, cold, and heat, and dryness, and moisture, God formed Adam… God formed Adam with His holy hands, in His own Image and Likeness, and when the angels saw Adam's glorious appearance they were greatly moved by the beauty thereof. For they saw the image of his face burning with glorious splendor like the orb of the sun, and the light of his eyes was like the light of the sun, and the image of his body was like unto the sparkling of crystal. There he was arrayed in the apparel of sovereignty, and there was the crown of glory set upon his head, there was he made king, and priest, and prophet, there did God make him to sit upon his honorable throne, and there did God give him dominion over all creatures and things. - The Cave of Treasures
Thus God created man in His own image and to have dominion over all creatures and things in the Garden of God
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
Lucifer, however, who had originally been given full authority over the Earth as its covering cherub, now found himself usurped by Adam and Eve, who were not only created fully in the image and likeness of God, but had also now been given full dominion over all creatures. Lucifer had to now accept a submissive position under mankind as his new responsibility was now to be that of a ministering spirit to them, their guardian angel, and under their authority, and this is something his pride simply could not tolerate. Lucifer became enraged and was extremely jealous of Adam and Eve, and because of his great pride, he fell hard, and an intense hatred of them emerged.
And she [Eve] cried out and said: 'Woe unto thee, you devil. Why do you attack us for no cause? What have you to do with us? What have we done to thee? For you pursue us with craft! Or why do you maliciously assail us? Have we taken away thy glory and caused you to be without honor? Why do you harry us, thou enemy (and persecute us) to the death in wickedness and envy?' And with a heavy sigh, the devil spoke: 'O Adam! all my hostility, envy, and sorrow is for thee, since it is for thee that I have been expelled from my glory, which I possessed in the heavens, in the midst of the angels, and for thee was I cast out in the earth.' Adam answered, 'What do you tell me? What have I done to you or what is my fault against you? Seeing that you have received no harm or injury from us, why do you pursue us?' The devil replied, 'Adam, what do you tell me? It is for thy sake that I have been hurled from that place when you were formed. I was hurled out of the presence of God and banished from the company of the angels. When God blew into thee the breath of life and thy face and likeness was made in the image of God, Michael also brought thee and made (us) worship thee in the sight of God; and God the Lord spoke: ‘Here is Adam. I have made you in our image and likeness.' And Michael went out and called all the angels, saying: 'Worship the image of God as the Lord God has commanded.' And Michael himself worshipped first; then he called me and said: 'Worship the image of God the Lord.' And I answered, 'I have no (need) to worship Adam.' And since Michael kept urging me to worship, I said to him, 'Why do you urge me? I will not worship an inferior and younger being (than I). I am his senior in the Creation, before he was made was I was already made. It is his duty to worship me.' When the angels who were under me heard this, they refused to worship him. And Michael said, 'Worship the image of God, but if you will not worship him, the Lord God will be wrath with thee.' And I said, 'If He be wrath with me, I will set my seat above the stars of heaven and will be like the Highest.' And God the Lord was wrath with me and banished me and my angels from our glory; and on your account were we expelled from our abodes into this world and hurled on the earth. And straightway we were overcome with grief, since we had been spoiled of so great glory. And we were grieved when we saw thee in such joy and luxury. And with guile I cheated thy wife and caused thee to be expelled through her (doing) from thy joy and luxury, as I have been driven out of my glory. – The Vitae of Adam and Eve 11:2-16:4
Thus Lucifer now began to scheme against man and devised a plan to beguile Eve into sinning against their Creator as revenge. Eve believed Lucifer, that if she ate from his tree, she would somehow gain secret knowledge and wisdom that would open her eyes and make her as a god, knowing good and evil.
Genesis 3:4-5 And the serpent said unto the woman, "You shall not surely die; for God knows that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”
With that lie, Lucifer began to seduce and beguile Eve into forsaking God’s perfect laws of righteousness, and learn the mysteries of iniquity.
Genesis 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, “What is this that you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.”
Notice in Genesis 3:6 that even before Eve had tasted of the forbidden fruit, it was the tree that Eve became enamored with, as she saw that it was the tree that was good for food, it was the tree that was beautiful to the eyes, it was the tree that could give one understanding, and she learned to lust after and desired the tree. Once Eve became completely enamored with the tree and could no longer resist her lust for its fruit, she partook of it and gave it also to her husband.
Genesis 3:6-7 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was beautiful to the eyes and a tree to be desired, and that would give one understanding, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they knew that they were naked.
Thus Adam and Eve experienced a change to their bodies of light, and they experienced a type of "spiritual death". So what exactly happened here to their bodies? I was certain that something had occured to their DNA, but I could not find any resources to prove my hunch, so I reached out to Loren Pedersen who I knew has been studying the Luciferian rebellion for 40 years, and he volunteered to contribute the following exerpt.
What is "image" and "likeness"? "Image" is what something/someone looks like on the outside, while "likeness" is what something/someone is like on the inside. So Adam and Eve were created to "look like God" on the outside, and to "be like God" on the inside. They were created 100% in God's "image and likeness" - NO other creature previously created, including the all the angelics, including Lucifer himself, had been created in 100% the "image and likeness" of the Godhead. Since Adam and Eve had been created 100% in the "image and likeness" of the Godhead, it means that they were created as:
- 100% perfect in body/flesh w/ full "body powers"
- 100% perfect in soul (mind, will, emotions) w/ full "soul powers"
- 100% perfect in spirit w/ full "spirit powers"
Typically, due to Western perspective, we believe in only 5 senses - sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch; whereas the Eastern world has always believed, and practiced in, the "6th sense" (powers of mind/soul). However, could it be possible that Adam and Eve had also been created with a “Seventh Sense”? This “Seventh Sense” would have been a supernatural nature that would have possessed a "direct connect" with, and covering of and in, the Holy Spirit. In today's understanding and experience, this would be similar to someone being "baptized" and "walking in" the Holy Ghost, but which back then prior to "the fall", would have been a 100% coverage/utilization/walking in the Holy Spirit. It was this 100% "seventh sense" that gave Adam and Eve their "Light Bodies". Adam and Eve still had physical bodies of "flesh", but that "flesh" was not only 100% perfect, with no DNA corruption nor lack (prior to their fall), but was also 100% covered by the Holy Spirit. Think for a moment, what 100% across the board means ...
100% perfect in body/flesh means:
- no DNA corruption
- no "junk DNA"
- no lack of DNA for proper bodily functions
- no sicknesses, diseases, infirmities, defects
- a body with, what would appear today as, superhuman strength and endurance
- no "aging", nor wrinkles, nor "wearing down", but the "fountain of youth"
- bodies that were "immortal" (prior to their sin) - designed to live/function forever!
- the FULL UTILIZATION OF ALL DNA related to the body/flesh
100% perfect in soul (mind, will, emotions) means:
- full "powers of mind"
- no need for calculators nor computers (Adam and Eve were walking supercomputers)
-100% memory recall (no need for "taking notes", nor forgetting names, dates, places,
as Adam and Eve were walking dictionaries, encyclopedias, and note pads)
- 100% thought projection and reception, aka "ESP", aka "direct mind link", not only
with each other but also with the animals (other living creatures with souls)
- quite possibly the ability to dematerialize and materialize elsewhere "at will"
(as Jesus, in His resurrected body, could walk through walls, yet still eat, etc)
- quite possibly the ability to levitate and move objects (such as large rocks/stones - is
this how the Pyramids were built ? )
- full "powers of will" and the range/expression of their wills
- full "powers of emotion" and the range/expression of those emotions
- the ability to "peer into" and experience other "realms" and "dimensions"
- the FULL UTILIZATION OF ALL DNA related to the soul
100% perfect in spirit means:
- a 100%/perfect "direct connect" with the Godhead via the Holy Spirit
- 100% communion with the Father as He came down in the coolness of the day
- 100% communion also with the Son and the Holy Spirit
- 100% ability to "peer into" and experience the "realms of the Spirit world"
- 100% clothed in "Light", with no need for physical clothing
- Adam and Eve still had their flesh bodies (100% perfect), but which were "clothed in Light"
- the FULL UTILIZATION OF ALL DNA related to the spirit
God had built into Adam and Eve ALL the DNA needed for full utilization and full expression of their being created in God's exact "image and likeness", and thus their "flesh bodies" were capable of living forever as "immortals". When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the first result of their sin was a “disconnection” from the Holy Spirit and the "Light" that had clothed them was now removed from them, revealing the nakedness of their flesh bodies. The DNA that was directly expressive of this former "direct connect" with the Holy Spirit had now become “deactivated” and turned into “junk DNA”. Recently, Russian scientists who study DNA have determined that, on average, Mankind uses only 8% of all DNA that he/she is born with. The rest of the DNA is called "junk DNA", in which scientists don't know what, if anything, it is used for.

There is still even more to the fall of man than the “deactivation of human DNA". Once Adam and Eve experienced spiritual death, the serpent went on further to also convince the woman that in order not to "die childless", that she would need to procreate. Thus Lucifer taught her the secrets of procreation and impregnated her with her first child, Cain. This is why God said He would greatly multiply her sorrow in the conception of children, and is also why He would put enmity between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman. The seed of the serpent is a reference to the lineage of Lucifer that would perpetuate in the world through the bloodline of Cain; even Christ himself spoke of this lineage.
Genesis 3:15-16 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and you shall bruise his heel.” Unto the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in sorrow you shall bring forth children; and your desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.”
Matthew 13:38-40 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
John 8:42 Jesus said unto them, "If God were your Father, ye would love me; for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but He sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.
The lies that Lucifer beguiled Eve with are the same lies that would be at the central core of all the Mystery religions of the history of the world, which is, by eating from a forbidden tree, secret knowledge and wisdom (in our day it would also include technology), will be available to them, and they will live forever as a god. Lucifer, whose name became Satan, also tried to beguile the Lord Jesus to bow down to him win return for wealth and power.
Matthew 8-10 Again, the devil took him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And said unto him, “All these things will I give thee, if you will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord thy God, and him only shall you serve.’”
The desire to gain access to privileged information, gain wealth and power, and to become as a god and live forever is the exact same agenda that all the secret societies of today are striving for.
