QUESTIONED HOW THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
An "enemy" appears on the scene and questioning the fair reward for their legitimate domain
Now the serpent was the most cautious of all the wild beasts of the field Lord God had made. So she began to say to the woman "Is it really so that God said you should not eat of every tree of the garden ?" - Genesis 3:1
For
Please focus your attention on the words of the "Snake"
cleverly and maliciously, planting the desire for the forbidden
- To yes they can not touch any tree ? -
exaggerates the ban, and indirectly focused and draws attention to the tree among many.
was like saying: "It seems they are not completely free, have a ban."
"At this the serpent said unto the woman," positively will not die. 5 For God knows that in the same days eating from it will have abrÃrseles eyes and have to be as God, knowing good and evil. " - Genesis 3:4
now goes beyond . cast doubt on the fairness of the sovereignty of the Creator using a vicious lie.
- " positively will not die" - As noted, the originator of the idea, that when we die physically not actually die, the doctrine of immortal that survives death body and found in all the world's false religious beliefs.
- "God knows who will become like Him - God lies, not only will not die on the day to eat, but they will bequeath to be like, "Gods, independent beings morally, to decide for yourself the good and evil" .
They are being deprived of something good, something better, getting to know evil. The ban is not fair or deserved. No need for restraint or obedience. You deserve moral independence.
What did they do right? Is listening to a stranger, to a complete stranger, or your loving Father and Creator who came all the good he knew and had?
THE IDENTITY OF THE SNAKE
To understand is not a simple "farm animal" or evil or sin found in human hearts, this analysis will try to at least 4 arguments of the same story to clarify their identity.
- First, the order of time in which it appears to tempt you, this is after the creation of Women , not before, and obviously that was when God revealed his desire that the them, "Men and Women- recently who now engender new life through procreation smart, because until that time was God himself who was creating intelligent life. (After being told " become many )
- How and to whom presented.
He did it in solitude and intelligent creature the newly created Women .
"And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression." - 1 Timothy 2:14
- The quality of the claims. From the heart of Eva or intelligent or wise snake could not be evil, or wicked and shameless deception with the intention of losing so much good they had.
(Nothing comments regarding the snake ate the forbidden fruit first "tree of knowledge of good and evil" and then apparently be wise and could speak, if the Scriptures omit this detail, we can not afirmalo us)
It was after creative work:
"God saw everything he had done and look! was very good " -
Genesis 1: 31
Therefore a literal intelligent snake discruso like about God would be "very good."
Therefore a literal intelligent snake discruso like about God would be "very good."
- After disobedience placed cherubim and a flaming sword to guard the entrance to the Garden and "The Tree of Life." Clearly, a simple angel, step could be avoided. This is made clear that it is someone else involved in the issue, stronger than mere humans .
The first book of the Bible poses the mystery is solved last
"So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent , the one called Devil and Satan , which is misleading the entire inhabited earth ; was thrown down to earth and his angels were thrown down with him. " - Revelation 12:9

And in words of the Son of God:
"Do not talk much with you, because it comes the prince of this world, and he got nothing on me " - John 14:30
"Now is the opinion of this world: now prince of this world be cast out ." - John 12:31
"of justice, because I go unto my Father and ye see me no more; 11 and trial because the prince of this world is judged ." - John 16: 10.11
The early Christians who were clarified: "Now if the good news we declare is in Indeed evenings are evenings between those who are perishing, among whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, not to go [to them] the illumination of the glorious good news about Christ, who is the image of God. " - 2 Corinthians 4:3,4
" in which at one time walked c nder the system of things of this world according the ruler of air authority, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience . " - Ephesians 2:2
All who oppose God disobediently the Board and governs the slope this mental resistors, for that reason, this being Spiritual is called " the God of this world, or system of things " because it allowed him to be the " ruler or prince of this world " , or all those who give back to the authority of the Creator Lord, who are the majority.
As a holy spirit virtuous qualities manifest themselves in the wonderful personality of God, in the present state of our body as children of "disobedient", coolant should strive not to reveal personality traits of the spiritual who became the god of desires disobedient illegal.
Therefore, the challenge to the sovereignty of the Lord came from a creature that, while enjoying the benefits of His sovereignty, not appreciate his knowledge of it nor had grown, and therefore not had deepened their love for Him . was God's heavenly creature . When Earth was installed in the first human couple, Adam and Eve, this being saw an opportunity to attack the sovereignty of God. First try to divert Eva submission to the sovereignty of God and then Adam, and he succeeded.
His motives were to establish a rival sovereignty, illegitimate, having been born questioning the Creator of all things.
entire time of human domination and influence of this spiritual being, the Creator ah not directly intervened to end the rebellion and evil and that ah SEVERED HEART caused, however to been laying the foundations for future intevención unexpectedly close.
D ince the start of the challenge to its sovereignty prophesied indicating an end: that the resolve for good and would not allow or tolerate indefinitely the evil that would come from the abuse of freedom. (Lease Genesis 3:15 where he announced the end to the descendants of the "snake")
reality is that I never lost control of the affairs of Earth even when it is under the domination of their enemies, who turn their backs they know it or not in his heart.
How are we sure of this? How it affects us personally?
THE CREATOR HAS ALWAYS MAINTAINED ITS POSITION OF SOVEREIGN
"Therefore David blessed the Lord before the eyes of the whole congregation, and David said:" Blessed art Thou, O Lord God of Israel our father, time indefinite even to time indefinite. 11 Tuya, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and beauty and excellence and dignity , because everything in heaven and on earth is [yours]. Thine is the kingdom, O Lord , He also rises as you head over all . 12 The riches and honor the is because of you, and you're you dominate all , and in your hand is power and power , and your hand is no [power] to make great and to give strength to all. 13 And now, O our God, we thank and praise your glorious name. " - 1 Chronicles 29: 10-13
" Jehovah himself has firmly established his throne in the heavens themselves ;
and do all things his own kingship has domination. " - Psalm 103:19
" Your kingship kingship is for all indefinite time, your dominion endures from successive generations. " - Psalm 145: 13

and do all things his own kingship has domination. " - Psalm 103:19

Although Earth is becoming , a hotbed of rebellion, the Lord God did not give up its hold on her.
- The Flood. This was a proof of God's ability to carry out his will and guide to those who sought, as was the case with Noah and his family, but also other faithful as Abel, Enoch, and so on.
- The dealings of God with Abraham and the nation of Israel showed he still had sovereignty over the earth. Because although it allowed the nation to be punished and exiled several times, he exercised his power to ensure that they fulfill the prophecy about Jesus to repatriate the appointed time. (Psalm 89:3, 4, 35-37)
- 's dealings with other people and nations. During that time, the Creator repeatedly demonstrated that he could protect and keep alive people who considered him their sovereign. Rahab, the Gibeonites, and later Daniel and their peers. (See Daniel 3:13-29, 6:12-27)
- Prophecies of the development of world powers. It demonstrated its control by making global powers such as Assyria and Babylon, to act in a way that fulfilled His word (Isaiah 10:5-7, Ezekiel 21:18-23)
This is true even to today. The Prophet Daniel records the rivals clash in 2 Kings, King of the North and South until the very end of human rule in the Great Tribulation and that did not know or learn about the world. Although God
ah permitted or tolerated in successive human government, a powerful Babylonian ruler had to recognize who is the Ruler from experience
34 "And so the days I Nebuchadnezzar I raised my eyes to heaven, and my understanding began to turn, and I blessed the Most High himself as one who lives up indefinitely praised and honored, because its governor is a governor to time indefinite, and his kingdom is to generate after generation. 35 And all the inhabitants of the land is being considered as merely nothing, and he is doing according to their own will among the host of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth. And there is nobody who can stay his hand or you can say, 'What have you been doing?'.
36 "At the same time my mind began to return it to me, and for the dignity of my kingdom, my majesty and my glow began to return them to me and to my real and my senior officers I started looking for large hard, and I was established on my own kingdom, and extraordinary greatness was added unto me.
37 "Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor King of heaven, all whose works are truth and his ways are justice, and because those who walk in pride he is able to humble . " - Daniel 4:35-37

37 "Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honor King of heaven, all whose works are truth and his ways are justice, and because those who walk in pride he is able to humble . " - Daniel 4:35-37
The God's eternal purpose has never failed to advance. The Creator has not allowed anything to interfere, not even the rebellion of his intelligent creatures, the perfect fulfillment of His great purpose.
Is not this as a test certificate or document of absolute security in full compliance with their promises?
in a future post we see what is the instrument that God has been created to address this issue Universal.
Moreover, we analyze it, but God allowed a challenge to its sovereignty with all the sad consequences that resulted ah, even this served its purpose more completely, more perfectly ubiera if not happened. the end, the Universal Sovereign, Jehovah, forced the shortest way to complete our hearts in His infinite love.
