He taught him the secret to the Name.
When God asked the angels to bow before Adam,
all bowed at the command of the Lord of the Universe
except Satan, who stood where he was and said :
"I am made of fire
Adam is of the earth
I am greater
superior to Adam"
God was very angry.
If that is so,
then tell Me the secret of the Name!"
The Devil gagged.
What could he say
About the Name?
When Adam was asked the same question,
he answered it at lenght.
Satan the rebel
was cast down from his throne,
filled with black hatred
for all Adam's descendants.
Go! I will allow you
to tempt mankind
but I will strenghten those
who see through faith
and you will never trick them!"
Satan left,
left shouting curses
as black as his hatred.
