From snow-capped peaks to grassy valleys, surely all creation joined nature's chorus as the Almighty's symphony sprang to life. This speechless choir sang lofty melodies of celestial ecstasy while lions and lambs wrestled playfully. Was it a day like today?

Not a harsh word or even a weed polluted this pristine paradise. Did the nightingale's breezy chorus awaken our first parents? Possibly their eyes opened at the gentle nudge of a peaceable beast. They rose, they laughed and innocence reigned. Then mutiny. Treason!

By dusk the songbird's chorus surrendered its felicity and even the meadows wore sullen shades. Sighs and moans ran through bending blades searching for comfort, but finding none. Murky waters lay still under scarlet skies as creation's back bent under the load of treason's atrocity. Chaos enfolded order, lions roared and consciences sought clothes. Offering sedition no reward, with angels and fiery swords God promised an end to sin's opposition.

If dirges flowed like mountain streams and tears outnumbered stars surely this day beheld both. Did Eve forget the command of her Sovereign? Did Adam consider the consequences of his crime? How could such tragedy occur? They physically walked with God every day! They heard His voice and spoke to Him directly. Their minds were sharp and their bodies strong. They had only one temptation with which to contend. Only one! What was their excuse? What were they thinking?

Did our ancestors question the integrity of their Creator's plain warning; "In the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die" (Gen 2:17)? Did they think that somehow they could annul the edict of the Almighty, or that He would change His divine mind? Perhaps they hoped for a heavenly case of amnesia.

What dementia seized the minds of the holy pair? Friend, like a cerebral stranglehold, "Ye shall not surely die" fastened its grip on the perfect minds of paradise. If Satan's lying promise duped our pre-fall parents who enjoyed daily, physical communion with their Creator, only our heavenly Father knows the exponentially greater possibility of our deception.

Dear reader, nothing changes Satan's lie into the truth. Nothing! Just as nothing can make two plus two equal five, nothing can make, "Ye shall not surely die," a true statement when spoken to anyone, professing Christian or not, who persists in sin. Gentle reader, be warned, though popular but grossly deceived contemporary, evangelical teachers tone-down, dress-up, disguise and Christianize Satan's lie, "Ye shall not surely die," remains hell's dope tragically stupefying the minds and blinding the eyes of men!
