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.

Genesis 3:14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

This is Satan in a nutshell. Now let us crack it and see him for what he is in truth. A liar.

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

We are all born into his realm and in that realm he has done nothing but speaks lies to serve his own end. What is his goal here? Is it to disobey God? If Satan had his way none of us would know there is a God. So what was his immediate goal?

Satan lied to Eve to challenge her understanding of God’s instruction. The lie and the promise attached to the lie were meant to have Eve believe Satan and do what Satan wanted her to do. We can only see the results of the events to understand why Satan came to Eve rather than Adam.

Eve ate and nothing changed. Since Eve ate and she did not die, then God must have lied and He isn’t trustworthy. That was Satan’s lie to gain a believer to serve him. Once Eve saw there was no change, she gave Adam to eat. She spread the lie.
