When Noah took to
planting, Satan came and stood before him and said to him: "What are you
planting?" Said he: "A vineyard." Said Satan to him: "What
is its nature?" Said he: "Its fruits are sweet, whether moist or dry,
and one makes from them wine which brings joy to the heart." Said Satan to
Noah: "Do you desire that we should plant it together, you and I?"
Said Noah: "Yes." What did
Satan do? He brought a lamb and slaughtered it over the vine; then he brought a
lion, and slaughtered it over it; then he brought a monkey, and slaughtered it
over it; then he brought a swine, and slaughtered it over it; and he watered
the vine with their blood. Thus he alluded to Noah: When a person drinks one
cup, he is like a lamb, modest and meek. When drinks two cups, he becomes
mighty as a lion and begins to speak with pride, saying, "Who compares
with me!" As soon as he drinks three or four cups he becomes a monkey,
dancing and frolicking and profaning his mouth, and knowing not what he does.
When he becomes drunk, he becomes a pig, dirtied by mud and wallowing in filth.
(Midrash
Tanchuma, Noach 13:4)
A very interesting story, not
only did Satan help Noah plant a vineyard he also gave it his own touch. Satan added
the blood of four creatures which would make a person act just like that animal
when he drinks wine. Now the Talmud states a curse should be upon those who
drink wine
Rabbi Meir says:
The tree from which Adam ate
was a vine, for there is nothing that bring woe upon a person as wine. (Talmud,
Sanhedrin 70a-b)

Here’s the interesting part, according
to the New Testament Jesus turned water into wine.
Jesus said to the
servants, “Fill the
jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.Then he told
them, “Now draw some
out and take it to the master of the banquet.”They did so, and
the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He
did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the
water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, “Everyone brings
out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had
too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.” (John 2:7-10)
Jesus
of the Bible turned water into wine. Which means he gave the guests the drink
of Satan for them to act like animals. Remember Satan intentionally added
animal blood to humiliate people. John tells us “the guests have had
too much to drink;” so we can conclude they must if been very
drunk acting like pigs. It would be foolish for Christians to say the Bible doesn’t
say they were drunk. The Bible doesn’t have to say they were dunk, the reader
should already know too much drinking would lead to drunkenness.
So from the above we
can conclude that the very first miracle which Jesus of the Bible performed, was
to use the drink of Satan and make a mockery of his people.
