God had already had Lucifer thrown to earth. Satan was lurking in the Garden, studying Eve and Adam, looking for weak places; a way to tempt them.
Eve was tempted with food.
On his 40 day fast in the wilderness, Jesus was tempted with food by Satan.
It's probable that even now, Satan is tempting people with food, fame, power, delusions of grandeur, ponzie schemes etc.
Reading that passage shows the ways Satan tempts us. Also, how Jesus defeated him every single temptation! He used the Word of God.
"It is WRITTEN!! You shall not tempt the Lord your God."
"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word out of the mouth of God."
That's exactly how we are to fight Satan. Your bank of scripture, written in your heart, directly decides who is going to win the Battle (spiritual warfare). If you got nothing, you may get hurt.
Scripture is your arsenal. Personally, I want some long guns, missiles, etc. Look what Satan did to Job.
Jesus gave us Ephesians 6, and he means for us (men , women, kids, grandparents) to wear the Armor of Jesus Christ and use the weapons.... the Word of God.
