And THAT does not teach that the devil was the tree! Those things were prepared in the day the devil was made, and "day" here refers to the general time period of the 6 day creation:
"These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens," (Genesis 2:4)
Remember, Lucifer was created by God - Lucifer chose to become the devil.
How many Garden of Edens were there? The Adam and his wife were removed from that Garden when they partied with the devil also called the serpent. The devil has played many roles and he has many names.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old *serpent* called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Satan has yet to be cast out from heaven onto this earth.
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, (John 3 lesson to Lazarus) He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; (So what were the 'children' before they partook of flesh and blood? When were all souls/spirit intellect created? Moses did not record when the creation of Lucifer took place along with the rest of the souls/spirit intellect. Moses only recorded the formation/creation of the flesh bodies for which the soul/spirit intellect were to inhabit during their flesh journey. Even after the formation/creation of the Adam's flesh body, he, the Adam was not alive until the breath of life, which means soul was breathed into his nostrils... And Moses did not say anything about the creation/formation of that breath of life, as it already existed.
So Lucifer who was placed Ezekiel 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Thou was perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in the.
Genesis 1:2 describes the overthrow/casting down of Lucifer from his position of covering the mercy seat long before Genesis 1:3. A supernatural war, and this earth still carries the evidence of that war.
And Paul knew about the Garden Party as Paul warns us about what will take place again... if the warning is not heeded... IICorinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ,
3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtility, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
Furthermore, God had Peter write down how God keeps time. IIPeter 3:8 But, beloved, be NOT ignorant of this one thing,
that ONE day is with the LORD as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Ignore what God plainly says all you wish, but, those days of creation... were not 24/7 hour days. God Himself says so, and there is all matter of evidence left upon this earth that demonstrates there was long ago a massive earth wide catastrophe on this earth.
