“我又要叫你和女人彼此为仇；你的后裔和女人的后裔也彼此为仇。女人的后裔要伤你的头；你要伤祂的脚跟”（创3:15）。{FH.142.1}
亚当夏娃本应完全满足于在上帝的创造之工中借着圣天使的教导认识上帝。……他们以为借着吃禁果可以达到崇高的知识境界，哪知竟陷入了罪与内疚的堕落深渊。{FH.142.2}
天使曾在亚当夏娃犯罪与被逐出伊甸家园以前奉命保护他们，现在则奉命看守乐园的门和通向生命树的路，免得他们回来吃生命树的果子，使罪永存不朽。{FH.142.3}
罪把亚当夏娃赶出了乐园，也使乐园从地上被移走。他们因违背上帝的律法而丧失了乐园。顺从天父的律法并且靠着对祂儿子赎罪宝血的信心，我们可以重得乐园。……{FH.142.4}
撒但喜不自胜地向基督和忠诚的天使夸耀说，他已成功地争取了一部分天使与他联合大胆反叛，而今他又成功地制服了亚当夏娃。他声称他们的伊甸园是属于他的了。他骄傲地自夸说上帝所造的世界是他的领土。他既胜过了世界的王亚当，就使人类成了他的国民。他现在应该拥有伊甸作他的总部。他要在那里建立他的宝座，作世界的王。{FH.142.5}
但天庭立即采取了措施，挫败撒但的计划。大能的天使，带着四面转动发火焰的剑，担任哨兵，把守通向生命树的道路，使撒但和那对有罪的夫妇无法接近。……{FH.142.6}
天上举行了会议，决定由上帝的爱子负责救赎堕落人类脱离咒诅和亚当失败的耻辱，战胜撒但。这是何等奇妙的屈尊俯就啊！天上的至尊竟因爱怜堕落的人类而自动提出作他们的替身和中保。——《评论与通讯》，1874年2月24日。{FH.142.7}
A Redeemer Is Promised, May 10
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.?Genesis 3:15.?{FH 142.1}[1]
Adam and Eve should have been perfectly satisfied with the knowledge of God in His created works, and by the instruction of the holy angels.... The high state of knowledge to which they thought to attain by eating of the forbidden fruit plunged them into the degradation of sin and guilt.?{FH 142.2}[2] The angels who had been appointed to guard Adam and Eve in their Eden home before their transgression and expulsion from paradise were now appointed to guard the gates of paradise and the way of the tree of life, lest they should return and gain access to the tree of life and sin be immortalized.?{FH 142.3}[3]
Sin drove Adam and Eve from paradise. And sin was the cause of paradise being removed from the earth. In consequence of transgression of God’s law, they lost paradise. In obedience to the Father’s law and through faith in the atoning blood of His Son, paradise may be regained....?{FH 142.4}[4]
Satan made his exulting boasts to Christ and to loyal angels that he had succeeded in gaining a portion of the angels in heaven to unite with him in his daring rebellion. And now that he had succeeded in overcoming Adam and Eve, he claimed that their Eden home was his. He proudly boasted that the world which God had made was his dominion. Having conquered Adam, the monarch of the world, he had gained the race as his subjects, and he should now possess Eden and make that his headquarters. And he would there establish his throne and be monarch of the world.?{FH 142.5}[5]
But measures were immediately taken in heaven to defeat Satan in his plans. Strong angels, with beams of light representing flaming swords turning in every direction, were placed as sentinels to guard the way of the tree of life from the approach of Satan and the guilty pair....?{FH 142.6}[6]
A council was held in heaven, which resulted in God’s dear Son undertaking to redeem the human race from the curse and from the disgrace of Adam’s failure, and to conquer Satan. Oh, wonderful condescension! The Majesty of heaven, through love and pity for fallen humanity, proposed to become their substitute and surety.—The Review and Herald, February 24, 1874.?{FH 142.7}[7]
