Matthew 4:8-9

8 Again, the devil took Him (Jesus) up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the
kingdoms of the world (all of man's systems) and their glory. (All the collected wealth and pleasures the
world has to offer.)

9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” (He is singing
that same old song to man today!)

Satan could legally offer the world to Jesus, and just as legitimately offer it to us today. It was and is his
to give! Adam and Eve bartered and forfeited their ownership and dominion over the planet in exchange
for a twisted, warped knowledge because it revealed evil. They knew nothing about it and wanted to
have a personal choice between good and evil. Breaking the law of God they became rebels like the
enemy that coerced them. God's sovereignty therefore no longer covered them and they became easy
prey for the anointed clever cherub to rob. It was all a strategically well thought out plan of Satan. They
were told to not to touch or taste this tree of Good and Evil and warned they would die if they did, but
they didn't listen. As you look at the news headlines today you will see evidence of their grave mistake!
Even those that do not know God can see humanity is on a downhill slide, and in a self destructive state.
Eating from the wrong tree has been catastrophic to say the least!

Side note: Did you know that the word translated as tree could have just as easily been translated as
carpenter? To know that definition is helpful as we see Satan cannot create anything, he can only build
from what God has already brought into existence. He can construct, not create. For those that enjoy
studying, the number for tree is 6086 in the Strongs Hebrew dictionary. The number for carpenter is
2796 and says its the same as the number 6086. The other definitions for carpenter by the way are,
master craftsman, mason, engraver, and fabricator. However we translate it, or which definition we
choose to use, the point was, don't touch him, don't let him give you food for thought. Don't let your
mind feed on the fruit of his intellect. To do so caused Adam and Eve to break the law of God, warped
their thinking, ruined their relationship with Father and put them outside the Kingdom, making them
law-less. Seeing man's fallen state and defenselessness, other angels following Satan's example took
advantage of mankind also. Although created a totally different species, these angels fathered children
through the daughters of man! The resulting fruit of this union, were half angel, half man creatures that
were evil, hard and cruel, giants in stature and in Satan's mind superior in quality to Adam and Eve.

Enoch 15:3

3 Wherefore have ye left the high, holy, and eternal heaven, and lain with women, and defiled yourselves
with the daughters of men (these women were not holy, they were descendants of Eve nor were they of
their species) and taken to yourselves wives, and done like children of earth, and begotten giants (as
your) sons.

Genesis 6:2 says it this way.

2 that the sons of God (angels) saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives
for themselves of all whom they chose.

Genesis 6:4

4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the
daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of
renown.

The natures and actions of their offspring were unnatural, wicked, corrupt and lawless. When God sent
the flood on the earth to punish man for their involvement with the angels, Noah and seven others were
preserved, but the evil offspring of the angels fled their bodies and continued life in the supernatural
while the rest of mankind died. God bound the evil spirits to earth as this was their origin so these
supernatural beings way outnumber us and although unseen, are very much in our midst today! All of
creation is affected by them one way or another causing the whole universe to be out of order and
harmony resulting in death and decay.

Enoch 15:8-12

8 And now the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon the
earth, and on their earth shall be their dwelling.

9 Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men, and from the holy
Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; they shall be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits shall they
be called. (They are not of God!)

[10 As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven shall be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which
were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.] (Destroys the theory that we live in a
city up in heaven in the end!)

11 And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the
earth, and cause trouble: they take no food, but nevertheless hunger and thirst, and cause offenses
(They live through mankind! They need our bodies to function here on earth. They are spirits). 12 And
these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have
proceeded from them (they will especially attack women).

Side Note: This is why a woman must be under the prayer covering of her husband, or if a widow the
covering of her church leadership. In the home the male gender has been given authority over the
enemy. In the church however, there is neither male nor female, Greek or Jew, all leadership chosen by
God has this authority to cover the flock of God.

Understanding these spirits exist and the nature of them helps us to understand the evil events
happening around the world. Stories of people randomly killing strangers in mass murders grace the
headlines of our newspapers. Children killing parents, parents killing children, children killing
schoolmates are demonstrations of how an evil spirit can cause its human to carry out Satan's plan to rid
the earth of the human species. Many times the killer takes his own life as well! The evil spirit or spirits
that caused this atrocity simply look for another human to live through, sadly leaving a trail of death
behind.
