God spoke to Adam in the beginning in the garden and said of all these trees you may freely eat. There was one precursor, and that was the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil. In the garden everything was free except for the one tree that would take them to another plane. When Adam and Eve ate from the forbidden tree, a whole other existence appeared to them. A whole nother View. A view of contrasts of the gift of God.
This is how mankind fell. There were no cataclysms there were no broken bones no screams no bouncing on the ground when them fell. He fell in the regions of his mind but occupying it with something other than the things of God displayed in the Garden of Eden.
The whole concept of biblical salvation is to save man from this fall. A catastrophe took place but it was an invisible one and needed an invisible patch in an invisible solution.
John in his first epistle said of the things of this world, that he who loves them the love of the father is not in him. 2DS things that make us wise and beautiful to behold are things of the world in this is that other plane.
So man kind of slipped from the plane of existence by lusting craving and Desiring another substance and this is the fall. The tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil was a wormhole to one plane, in the tree of the cross in the blood of Christ is the Wormhole back to our original plane of existence of things being good very good.
The good thing for us is that the salvation process is in full swing. And just as with any Earthen catastrophe, be it a hurricane or a tsunami, there are meeting points for people to gather cor refuge and to get out. And at these places they have water food and shelter and provisions with transportation to safety.
And this we have in any place the gospel of Christ is preached. This is your Refuge your hope and your salvation. And because God is everywhere, our departure happened in our mind. Our mind closed off to God and now we think of Him as being somewhere else. That He needs to come back, but He never left.
Salvation processes on Earth are small breakdowns of what salvation in Jesus Christ means. Through one tree of knowledge we fell and buy another knowledge of another tree of another fruit being the fruit of Christ we arise.
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away (It is going to hell in a hand basket), and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever”. We return to the plane of existence Adam lost.
This is why you must eat of the tree of the cross. Saying “cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”, and Christ hung there that we may hang our old self there as well to become new in Christ. This is why at baptism we are told that we go into the water to wash off the old, to come back up a new creation.
He is our safety and our respite, he is our deliverer and savior from planet Earth
We don’t need to know what the devil is doing. We need to know what Christ did.
