CHAPTER 4
(JUNE–OCTOBER 1830)
How Satan became the devil—He tempts Eve—Adam and Eve fall, and death enters the world.
1 And I, the
Lord God, spake unto Moses, saying: That
Satan, whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine Only Begotten, is the same which was from the
cbeginning, and he came before me, saying—Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will
redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely
I
will do it; wherefore
give me thine honor.
2 But, behold, my Beloved
on, which was my Beloved and
Chosen from the beginning, said unto me—
father, thy
will be done, and the
glory be thine forever.
3 Wherefore, because that
Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the
agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be
cast down;
4 And he became
Satan, yea, even the
devil, the father of all
lies, to
deceive and to blind men, and to lead them
captive at his will, even as many as would not
hearken unto my voice.
