Jehovah has expressed his sovereignty in different ways at different times. He instituted a new expression of his sovereignty in response to a new development.
فَٱلشَّيْطَانُ ،‏ ٱلَّذِي عَصَى ٱللهَ بَعْدَ أَنْ كَانَ أَحَدَ أَبْنَائِهِ ٱلرُّوحَانِيِّينَ ،‏ نَجَحَ فِي إِقْنَاعِ آدَمَ وَحَوَّاءَ بِٱلتَّمَرُّدِ عَلَى حُكْمِ يَهْوَه .‏
