If you want to see where the Occupy Movement and the “share the wealth” program began, prayerfully read Is. 14 and Gn. 3.

God sits as supreme, and the devil wants to occupy it, not as he is worthy, as God is, but because he was the original liberal elite, who selfishly lusted to occupy the Administration building, requiring that God should share His glory.

The infamous “I wills:”

“For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. “ (Isaiah 14:13-14)

Being rejected for His unwarranted selfish exaltation (note that believers, being overcomers, will be seated with the Lord Jesus in His throne: (Rv. 3:21), he next worked to instill his victim entitlement mentality in Eve, insinuating that God was not dealing justly with her, that He was selfishly holding back His Divine knowledge from Eve, and that He should share the wealth, and thus take it by rebellion. Or so said the clay to the potter.

“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. “ (Genesis 3:4-5)

The result is called the Fall, but “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit,” (Psalms 34:18) as such trust the risen Lord Jesus to save them by His sinless shed blood.

“For every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. “ (Luke 18:14)

Thanks be to God.
