Zen Garcia then reinterprets the text of Genesis 3:
So Eve eating fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and then sharing with her husband Adam the same fruit, essentially means that her having desired the angel and then repeating the act of sexual intercourse with her husband would result in the birth of both Cain and Abel. Also it adds that Eve has gotten a (man from the angel of the Lord) which we know that Satan was in fact an angel of the Lord and was counted among the sons of God in Job. This makes complete sense when one considers it in that light.
Well, it “essentially means” no such thing as the text is clear; the fruit event differs from the “knew Eve his wife” event. Do you begin to discern just how many things one just rework, retell, reinterpret, etc. in order to make the text say that which it does not?
Zen notes that “it” (apparently the Targum) “adds that Eve has gotten a (man from the angel of the Lord).” This is interesting because traditional theology identifies “the angel of the Lord” as a Theophany or Christophany; a pre-incarnate appearance of YHVH or, specifically, Jesus. Zen interprets the angel of the Lord to be Satan because “Satan was in fact an angel of the Lord.” Note also that the Targum seems to imply that Cain was “the Angel of the Lord” as it stated “I have acquired a man, the Angel of the Lord” not “I have acquired a man” from “the Angel of the Lord” but more like “I have acquired a man” and that man, Cain, is “the Angel of the Lord.”
Indeed, Job 1:6 states, “…the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them” and Job 2:1, “the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.” Note that the text does not state that Satan is one of the, specific, “sons of God” but that Satan came with the “sons of God.”
In fact, Job 38:6-7 notes that when YHVH “laid the corner stone” of the Earth, “the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?” Thus, there are different categories of being within YHVH’s administration, as it were. In fact, Satan is not an “Angel” at all but, as per Ezekiel 28, he is a Cherub; Cherubs and Angels are different just like humans and bovines are different even though both are Earth dwellers.
