What happened when Adam and Eve fell?

(1 Samuel 4:22) “Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it. 21And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband. 22And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.”

(Genesis 3: 22- 24) “22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: 23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”

They were all shaken:

• Satan was cast out of heaven with his fallen conditionAdam and Even were driven of Eden with their fallen condition.The beast is originally satan. He is the dragon, that old serpent.When Adam and Even partook of the fruit, there was a falling away from God’s perfect Image(character) into a sinful ImageThey made an Image of the beast (satan) by disobedience to God’s commandments.
