The first account of spiritual warfare takes place in the Garden of Eden. Within the opening pages of the Bible, in a good creation, Adam and Eve face temptation and succumb to it. The serpent lures them with lies; they take the bait and disobey God. Job offers another glimpse at this ancient enemy of God’s people: Satan. The narrative describes his access to heaven, appeal to God, and oppression of Job. These two accounts lay a foundation for understanding spiritual warfare.
