The Story

The scene depicted in the box, is that fateful day in the Garden of Eden, when the serpent tempts Eve with the apple from the Tree of Knowledge.

God does NOT direct the serpent! He is a “free agent”. Of all the primates in the Garden, he is attracted to the blond Barbie figure.  Since the serpent is a phallic figure/symbol, the attraction is not unexpected.

We would be living on the “Planet of the Apes” if the serpent was attracted to one of the other primates!

The translation of the Hebrew word (top, right) is sin/wickedness.
