emmerich -15

I saw that while the serpent was still in the tree... 

Eve sinned, for her consent was with the temptation. 

I learned also at that moment, what I cannot clearly repeat, namely that the serpent was - as it were - the embodiment of Adam and Eve’s will, a being by which they could do all things, could attain all things. 

Here it was that Satan entered.

The blessing of a pure and holy multiplying...

out of God and by God... 

which Adam had received after the creation of Eve... 

was, in consequence of that indulgence, withdrawn from him. 

For I saw that the instant Adam left his hill to go to Eve, the Lord grasped him in the back and took something from him. From that I felt that the world’s salvation would come.

Once, on the Feast of the Holy and Immaculate Conception... 

God gave me a vision of that mystery. 

I saw enclosed in Adam and Eve the corporal and spiritual life of all mankind. 

I saw that by the Fall it became corrupted, mixed up with evil. 

And that the bad angels had acquired power over it. 

I saw the Second Person of the Godhead come down and, with something like a crooked blade, take the Blessing from Adam before he had sinned. At the same instant, I saw the Virgin issuing [uitgaan] from Adam’s side like a little luminous cloud, and soaring [omhoog vliegend] all resplendent up to God.
