According to the Midrash Satan helped Noah plant a vineyard?





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.
