The Satan Will Misuse the Torah in Order to Deceive

 

The Satan is very subtle and crafty, and will minutely change the Torah to slightly misdirect a person. The end result of the uncorrected misdirection will always be Gehenna.

Now the Nachash was more crafty than any of the wild animals YHWH 'Elohiym had made.

In the temptation of 'Adam and Chavvah, a servant of the Satan twisted the Word of YHWH 'Elohiym into a lie.

Now the Nachash was cunning, more than any animal of the field YHWH 'Elohiym had made. He said to the woman, "Did 'Elohiym really say, `You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"

The woman said to the Nachash, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but 'Elohiym did say, `You will not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you will not touch it, or you will die a death.' "

"You will not die a death," the Nachash said to the woman."For 'Elohiym knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like 'Elohiym, knowing good and evil."

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

In the temptation of Yeshuw`ah, the Satan used the Torah out of context in order to accomplish his purpose.

Then Yeshuw`ah was led by the Ruach haQodesh into the midbar to be tempted by the Satan. After fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry. The tempter came to Him and said, "If you are the Son of 'Elohiym, tell these stones to become bread." Yeshuw`ah answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every Word that comes from the mouth of YHWH.'" Then the Satan took Him to 'Iyr haQodesh and had Him stand on the highest point of the Bayith. "If you are the Son of 'Elohiym," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written: "'He will command His mal'akiym concerning you, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.'" Yeshuw`ah answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put YHWH, your 'Elohiym, to the test.'" Again, the Satan took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. "All this I will give You," he said, "if You will bow down and worship me." Yeshuw`ah said to him, "Away from Me, the Satan! For it is written: 'Worship YHWH, your 'Elohiym, and serve Him only.'" Then the Satan left Him, and mal'akiym came and attended Him.

The Satan, and his false prophets, will come as mal'akiym of light. They will appear to be ministers of Qadowsh, Tsaddiyq, and ha'Emeth, while they twist and distort the Torah in order to deceive and damn people to Gehenna:

And no wonder, for the Satan himself masquerades as a mal'ak of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of Tsaddiyq. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
