volgadon Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I came across an interesting tidbit in chapter one of the Fathers According to Rabbi Nathan (Avot Derabi Natan). It is a theme not fully fleshed out in the Bible, but one which plays an important role in revealed doctrine on Satan.Rabbi Yehuda ben Bathyra says: Adam was reclining in the Garden of Eden and the ministering angels stood before him, roasting meat and cooling wine for him. Along came the serpent and saw him, beheld his glory, and grew jealous of him.
