"The Creation of doubt is the beginning of the loss of identity to the human mind."

Aporia, the creation of uncertainty.

The Devil, invisible to the human eye - the cause for this being the word Spirit - (lt. Translated as "Wind") has an understanding of the human Psyche, which itself, makes it easier to manipulate someone.

He knows exactly what to say to the people he's trying to control, and he uses that control to manipulate others, something sort of like a puppeteer, or a puppet master, secretly pulling the strings.

After having been found with "unrighteousnes" according to the book of Ezekiel (ch. 28) it is uncertain whether it's talking about the angel before Satan, but Isaiah (ch.14) alludes to his plans. He then moves on to his targets, Adam and Eve.

Adam and Eve have been given codes and laws by God, to reproduce, to marry a man or a woman. They have minds like children, because of their innocence and have no knowledge of the "good or bad". (Genesis 3: 1-7) Eve is then approached by a serpent, who is called the most "cautious of all the wild animals of the field" (verse. 1).

In the beginning of the conversation between these two, "Satan" disputes Eve's morality into answering a simple question during verses 2 and 3. Satan is then attached to this idea of the "fruit" and causes uncertainty towards Eve's mind.

According to the Bible, only God has the ability to "read the Heart" of the people, which means he's set on reading people's minds, thoughts, morals, codes, etc.

In verse 4 of the same chapter, Satan creates distrust among Eve, basically saying that God has lied and that they will not die. This is what we call "Aporia", and the loss of Identity is about to be created.

Satan has implanted confusion into the Woman, and she without hesitation takes the fruit and eats it, seeing that the tree was "desirable to the eyes"; but alas, nothing happened.

According to the Bible, Adam and Eve were married, but another thing missed, is that when a couple is married, they are no longer separate, but have become one flesh (ch.2 verse 24). Without Adam, Eve won't be able to "be like God", so she goes to Adam and he, knowing, thinking that he could be alone after she has bitten from the fruit, takes the fruit and its only then, that their eyes are "opened, and they realized that they were naked." (Ch. 3 Verse. 7)

Adam knew by the instructions of God, before the sin, that if they ate the fruit they would have died, and so they were instructed not to eat of it and especially not to touch it or they will die. (Genesis 2: 16 - 17)

Satan was questioning both the authority of God and the morality of Adam and Eve, wanting to become like God, in Honor and Glory he decided to leave his post in Heaven and become like a man, a wild lion, untamed and free to roam the planet. (1 Peter 5:8) 

But instead, he did not achieve this goal. He did achieve the Fall of Mankind, but the Bible states that instead of being brought up into glory, he was brought down to the grave. (Ezekiel 28: 6 - 8)

Satan has become more "human" than he has become an "angel", now a demon, a "Satan" - an apposer, against God. This is what's called the rebellion  of Adam and Eve. After their rebellion, they have lost their sense of who they really were before.

After all of this, why didn't God do anything about it? Why not destroy Satan right then and there?

The answer is quite simple: 1. God believes in free will. He created this Paradise, a lush Eden, the planet Earth, the creatures of both the earth and the Heavens who all call out for his glory and highest honors, thanking him for this wonderful gift of Life.

He believes that "time has been set into motion". Meaning that whatever happened, happened.

The moment Satan rebelled, other angels saw this and God noticed that they were intrigued by what they saw: the first human rebellion.

If God had destroyed "Satan", right then and there, the other angels would have had the belief that maybe Satan was right and that God was trying to hide the truth. So after the rebellion of Adam and Eve, Satan created doubt, not only to the human pair, but also to the Angels above.

God wanted to prove that Satan was wrong about him being a bad ruler as Creator and King, but he also had yet another problem.

2. God promised not to destroy humans.

God's original purpose for Adam and Eve was fpr them to be fruitful and make the world populated with descendants of children. But, this promise would be long gone, as sooner or later, as Adam and Eve faded away into time, their descendants took over, and the world was filled with evil, and soon enough the angels from heaven lusted over the daughters of men, procreating demi god like giants that would inflict violence upon the face of the earth.

God didn't want to back out on his promise so, he found someone, the last hope for a new life, Noah. He then promised that He would no longer end the human race with another deluge ever again, and to prove it, he made a rainbow appear, the only time a rainbow would ever again be seen in the Scriptures.

At nearly some point, Satan wanted a world where he would be the ruler but he basically gave God an option, a choice to end his "angelic" life right then and there. Either way, Satan would have "won", but God chose not to because everything that happened, happened. Both the angelic race and God saw what he had done, he influenced evil upon their minds and began eating them from the inside out. Both those angelics that rebelled to become Satans demons and Adam and Eve's race of humans are no more. Those angels are now dead, they have all faced identity crisis; their purpose is long gone, even now that they have been cast out from Heaven. (Revelation 12:4)
