“Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?” (Psalm 10:1 KJV).

With Lucifer (now known as “Satan,” Hebrew for “adversary”) working independently of his Creator, he moved to Earth to further his campaign that could be aptly styled “the policy of evil.” Read Genesis 3:1: “Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” Such shrewdness or trickery, questioning the simple Word of God, was enough to ensure the human species would not fulfill the Creator’s will….
