Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 50>57] [3] As a result of his disobedience, he was driven from his beautiful home, and forced to struggle with a stubborn soil. [4] The robe of light which had enshrouded them, now disappeared. [5] Under the curse of sin all nature was to witness to man of the character and results of rebellion against God. [6] So long as Adam remained loyal to Heaven, all nature was in subjection to him, but when he rebelled against the divine law, the inferior creatures were in rebellion against his rule.
As proof that there are natural consequences which follow a course of sin, let us leave Adam alone for a moment, so that the erroneous perspectives of God doing these things can be corrected. The following is the naturally occurring curse, now resting upon the prince of darkness, as a result of him deliberately following a wrong course of action over the years, for when persons get disconnected from God, The Source of life, their gradual eventual demise begins.
[Early Writings pp 152] I was shown Satan as he once was, a happy, exalted angel. Then I was shown him as he now is. He still bears a kingly form. His features are still noble, for he is an angel fallen. But the expression of his countenance is full of anxiety, care, unhappiness, malice, hate, mischief, deceit, and every evil. His frame was large, but the flesh hung loosely about his hands and face.
Genesis 6:7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
