The original sin was that of Satan, who began to think that He could usurp the authority of God and take over heaven. He has since planted that seed of sin in all those who belong to him.
We know that his sin was the original sin, as a result of him showing up in the garden of Eden to tempt Adam and Eve.
Now, there are several places in the scripture that shed light on the character of Satan via men. There is no doubt that these examples of the character of these men and their outcomes clearly show us the fall/continual fall of Satan in very descriptive terms.
Here are the verses that most refer to as the scriptures that discuss what happened the day of the fall of Satan. These verses are in my study, the example of the character of satan through man. This was his (satan’s) mindset and the mindset of all those who belong to him.
I will ascend; Isaiah 14:13-14
13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
This particular passage discussed the attitude of the King of Babylon towards God, who suffers defeat and humiliation as He attempts to come against God. (read the entire passage)
I saw Satan fall..; Luke 10:18-20
I (Yeshua) beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

Ezekiel 28:12b-19
Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

Revelation 12:3-4
3And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. (read this passage)
All of these verses clearly describe the attitude behind sin.
Here’s what God was describing to me a few days ago as I was waking up from my sleep.
Everytime God is dishonored through sin the actions follow the originator of sin ,saying to God, I will exalt myself, I will ascend, I will be like the most High God. Satan attempted to put himself in the seat of God. He dishonored the authority of God in thinking himself to be greater than God. This is the history of man, but God sent Yeshua to redeem those whom belong to Him.
As in the relationship between parent and child there are times when the child feels as if they know better than the parent. There are those times when the parent gives specific instruction and the child says to his/herself, I don’t have to do it that way, I can do it this way and still be effective.” (Adam and Eve in the garden: Genesis 3)
It is in those times that the child for some reason feels that somehow they have a greater knowledge of things than the parent. And it is in those times when their failure in that area is inevitable. As they rejected knowledge and felt that attempting to do it their way, the way they thought up in their head, but had absolutely zero experience, and no fact to back their decision caused them to fall/fail.
The failure then causes serious repercussions. (Adam and Eve kicked out of the garden) What were your repercussions as a child who defied the rules of your parents?
That’s when the parent makes the statement, “if you think you’re grown you can be out on your own” LOL
What is sin? Many people are confused about its definition.
SIN:
Comes from the Greek word harmatia which means offence.
G266
hamartia
ham-ar-tee-ah
From G264 ; sin (properly abstract):offence, sin (-ful).
The Greek word haramtia comes from the greek word harmatano which means to miss the mark,
to err
G264
hamartan
ham-ar-tan’-o
Perhaps from G1 (as a negative particle) and the base of G3313 ; properly to miss the mark (and so not share in the prize), that is, (figuratively) to err, especially (morally) to sin, for your faults, offend, sin, trespass.
It is always good to know the meaning of words. There is no guesswork as to what is considered sin by those who desire to follow the truth of the Word of God. All others will use the grey areas to make excuse for their sin. They will only fall short (not partake in the reward) of the Father’s Kingdom.
What God considers sin is completely laid out in His Word.
My awesome husband taught a message many weeks ago in our Friday Night ministry session. In that message he expounded upon the Genesis fall. I am sure that many of you have never gone and looked in depth at that passage, we’ve all been guilty of not taking a closer look, because you’ve heard it so many times you think you know it. We’ve learned better so we do what we’ve learned.
Anyway, in this Genesis 3 scenario we found the real thing that God was trying to keep His creation (man) from. Go to verse 17 God explicitly instructs the man to not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Genesis 2:16-18)
The word knowledge in this particular passage is translated from the hebrew word:
H1847
da’ath
dah-ath
From H3045 ; knowledge: cunning, [ig-] norantly, know(-ledge), [un-] awares (wittingly).
It means crafty, cunning knowledge. DARK KNOWLEDGE. GOD WAS PROTECTING US FROM THE INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF BEING SNEAKY, CRAFTY, CUNNING. THE SPIRIT OF THE ENEMY, WHICH UN-REGENERATED MAN PERSONIFIES IN THE EARTH TODAY.
you do a search on what Da’ath is on your own. Put it into a google search if you really want to know all that it is tied to..(Occult)
BOTTOM LINE:
If we as believers would only follow the example of Yeshua in all that we say and do, our lives would be more productive: limiting the failures and maximizing the victories.
Yeshua was our example and he did nothing of himself and said nothing of himself, but only that which the Father spoke to him. (John 8:28,42, John 5:19, John 12:49, John 14:10)
if we followed the example He (Yeshua) set
Our decisions would be different, thus yielding different results.
Following his example affects every area of our lives.
home, work, recreation, relationships
Sin is not the problem, man is that problem. Sin has no power over a true believer..
Yeshua’s death, burial and resurrection was the prescriptive cure for sin.
The first principle He gave us to maintain our personal cure for sin is LOVE.
1 John 2:9-10 LOVE FOR OUR BROTHERS
He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, AND THERE IS NONE OCCASION OF STUMBLING in him.
Galations 5:13-14
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
1 John 2:14-16 LOVE FOR GOD
I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the WORD OF GOD ABIDETH in you, and ye HAVE OVERCOME THE WICKED ONE.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Your LOVE determines your walk:
Galations 5:16,24-25
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Understand this!
EVERY TIME WE DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO (SIN), WE ARE AS SATAN: ATTEMPTING TO EXALT OURSELVES ABOVE THE THRONE (AUTHORITY) OF GOD. YOUR WALK PROVES WHO YOU BELONG TO.
