Moses writes that when this world (’age’) was begun there was already symbolically speaking a ‘tree of the knowledge of good and evil’. Second reference to the devil in Genesis. This symbolic ‘tree’ was not a fresh of this flesh age creation. That ‘tree’ had a history, and as the first rebel he cause the need for this as Peter calls it the world (age) that is NOW. IIPeter 3 whole chapter.

The first reference to the devil in Genesis is found in Genesis 1:2 the rebellion. The Bible only names one entity by name that has already been judge for ‘death’ on judgment day the devil, and he knows his time is short. There are a numbered of his disciples called fallen angels, that will ‘die’ upon the return of Christ. This bunch is referred to as the Sons of God in one place Genesis 6, the book of Jude gives more information. Among other prophets.
