Paragraph 3.
No, we could not know with absolute certainty. But Satan could. Satan saw that an oppressive Tyranny was forthcoming. Everything everyone did would be what Jehovah told them to do. No one would ever be able to have new experiences or try something new. No new value would ever be created on this boring dictatorship. And, anyone who is thinking there has to be a better way to do something would be destroyed on the spot.
Satan could tell that God's rulership was headed in that direction. Mankind could not, since Jehovah was slowly feeding them their tyranny. Start with a stupid piece of fruit, and progress to everything else. And there was no reason for this ban--can anyone prove that Jehovah actually lost anything as a result of this "stolen" fruit? What would have happened had they not ate it? It would simply have fallen to the ground to rot or be eaten by other animals--and that would have been just as destructive to that fruit as the eating of it was. This was not a simple matter of Satan trying to grab power--he was trying to protect mankind from Jehovah's power.
The problem is Jehovah is an Almighty Sore Loser. He cannot accept that mankind has exercised his ability to think and then just sit and watch them grow. Oh no, He had to stick His Almighty Foot into the matter. Nimrod, who was trying to grow a productive city and advance civilization, was thwarted when that Almighty Lowlife Scumbag scrambled the language. Greece was once a country where independent thinking thrived--until Plato was raised by Jehovah to create the "we need someone to direct everything we do" thinking that prevented Socrates and Aristotle from successfully liberating us from Jehovah. And, Jesus died trying to free us--and Paul was confused (again, I believe that Almighty Lowlife Scumbag Jehovah had everything to do with that), twisting up Jesus' message so it couldn't free us from God. Rather, the ruined version furthered our dependence on that Scumbag.
Result: Satan's rulership was never given a fair chance. Nimrod tried, only to have the language scrambled. Socrates and Aristotle tried, only to have Plato and the ruling class squash them. Jesus died trying. Even early America, the closest to truly Satanic rule (meaning free from having everything you do being what you are told to), suffered when God (and then the DUMP-o-CRAPs, which I feel is yet another tool that Jehovah is using to prevent true freedom from coming) entered the picture. Every time we get close to pure freedom, Jehovah ends up barging in and throwing in something that is going to ruin it.
