Did the sunrise chase away starry dreams? Was it a day like today? From mountain summits to valley floors, surely all creation joined nature's refrain as the Almighty's chorus sprang to life. This voiceless chorus sang utopian strains of heavenly rhapsody while lambs and lions feasted on spring leaves.

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 sunset the songbird's strain shed its rapture, even the grass wore gloomy hues. Whispers and gasps, sobs and groans pushed through swaying fields pursuing relief, but finding none. Dispirited waters lay quiet below crimson skies as the back of God's creation buckled under the burden of sedition's abomination. Confusion grabbed repose, brutes roared and consciences begged for clothes. Offering treason no reward, with angels and blazing swords God promised to end sin's discord.

If sorrow flowed like spring streams and tears poured like rain surely this evening beheld both. Did Adam forget the decree of his God? Did Eve consider the significance of her sin? How did such disaster occur? They walked with the Almighty every day! Their minds were strong and their bodies perfect. They contended with just one temptation. Just one! What was their explanation? What was their reasoning?

Did our ancient parents doubt the sincerity of their Creator's unambiguous warning; when you eat of it you will die (Gen 2:17)? Did they think that somehow they could change the edict of God, or that He would forget His heavenly edict? Perhaps they expected a divine case of forgetfulness.

What lunacy grasped the minds of the innocent pair? Friend, like a cerebral stranglehold, "Ye shall not surely die" tightened its grip on the unspotted minds of Eden. Now, if the devil's first lie deluded our pre-fall, first parents who enjoyed daily communion with their Creator, only God knows the substantially greater probability of our being deceived.

Bear in mind, nothing changes the devil's lie into God's truth. Nothing! Just as nothing can make one plus two equal four, nothing makes, "You won't die," a statement of truth when promised to anyone, professing believer or not, who continues in sin. Gentle reader, be warned, though popular but grossly deceived contemporary, evangelical teachers Christianize and disguise Satan's lie, "Ye shall not surely die," remains hell's drug tragically dumbing the minds and closing the eyes of men!
