40 Now, notice. Satan tried to get in there to spy out, to see what—how he could get a hold of that human race, and he took one of the most famous tactics that… Well, it showed that he had to be a supernatural power to think of it.

Satan come to Eve and begin to reason against the Word of God, the great Armor that God had fortified His people with. He begin to use reasoning.

But if you get from out of It, the day you eat thereof that day you die." God has never changed His strategy. And Satan has never changed his; how he got into Adam and Eve, he gets into them today.
