Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 27, 2023

Every aspect of God’s perfect creation in Genesis 1 has been inverted by man to make monstrosities out of what God created and said, “It is good.” Satan is the one who will destroy and mangle all for evil. We look at these items Satan has mangled, twisted and inverted.
