Matthew 12:25, "..Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: AND IF SATAN CAST OUT SATAN, HE IS DIVIDED AGAINST HIMSELF; HOW SHALL THEN HIS KINGDOM STAND?" John 10:10, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.."

Satan is ONLY EVIL. THERE IS NO GOOD IN HIM!!

Therefore, if Satan was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he would divide against himself and his kingdom could not stand. PERIOD!!

Also, the Antichrist, which is the serpent, the devil and the dragon will have no NATURAL DESIRE FOR WOMEN!! Why? Because he is a literal beast, a serpent, disguised as the Lamb slain. Since the Antichrist desires no natural woman, why would the serpent, the same creature as the Antichrist in the Garden of Eden desire to have sex with Eve? He didn't!! Because he is not made in the image of God like we are. Cain was of that wicked one, SPIRITUALLY (SPIRITUAL SEED) because his works were evil.

God created everything, including Satan. He gives us free will to love Him, but Satan's pride in his beauty and wisdom caused him to love himself and hate God, because he wanted to be God. He is made in the image of God like we are and he's beautiful; that's why people will be deceived when he plays the role of Savior when he comes to deceive the world to worship him. He is the antichrist. He wants to be worshipped instead of Christ.

Ezek 28:11-19
spoken to the king of Tyrus (Satan) "Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in the garden of God... Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth and I have set thee so...Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created till iniquity was found in thee...Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness..."

Serpent is translated from Nachash which means shining one.

Isaiah 14:12-15
"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning...for thou hast said in thine heart, 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation...I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.' Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell to the sides of the pit."

Satan knows God's plan to destroy him and to save His children from his deceit. He did not desire Eve. He attacked the bloodline of Eve through which Christ would come in the hope of tainting it. And so his evil children can work with him to destroy God's plans. But Christ was not born through Cain's bloodline.

Gen 3:13-16
to the shining one (Satan) "And I will put enmity between the woman and thee, and between thy seed (posterity) and her Seed (posterity); It shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel..."

We all know that Christ was born through the bloodline of Eve, so this is also talking about Adam and Eve's bloodline and the bloodline of her son Cain (whose father is Satan). And these Scriptures also speak of her sorrow in conception. The subject matter is clear.

Satan's main objective is illustrated in Luke 4:5-7 when he tempts Christ. "If Thou therefore will WORSHIP ME all shall be Thine." Here he is offering Christ the kingdom that God has allowed him to rule in part to test God's children to see who they will follow- God or Satan. And Jesus rebukes him in verse 8 "...Get behind Me Satan: for it is written "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve."

"That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:15)
