Serpent, Interesting Feller

The serpent is an interesting creature that was mentioned in the Garden within Eden.

He stood on two legs and talked with wisdom and slyness. He must have been an attractive mammal in stature. The word used to describe him as the most subtil of all the animals can also be interpretted as naked.

Naked? Yes, that is one of the meanings. The word in Genesis 3:1 is עָרוּם. 

 If you do a generic translation search you will see that it means cunning, crafty, prudent, subtle. But it also is very similar to naked, nude, unclothed. Interesting because rarely is a mammal naked except humans.  https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%9D

This is interesting because Paul says "2Co 11:3 - But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."  Beguilded means deceived, tricked, mislead.

So this mammal was definately second in rank to Adam. Adam had the breath of God given to him. The Bible is clear that he was not deceived but that his Wife was. No, this doesn't mean she was dumb, it means that she did not have the revelation to resist the Serpent's advances. She was like the Apostles and Jesus. Jesus had the revelation, the Apostles were totally dependent on God revealing it to them. That didn't make them inferior. It does clearly show that there is a head, and there is a body. Together they are meant to be one. 

So this brilliant fine looking creature, very similar to lucifer when he was in Heaven, was able to confuse Adam's Wife. Like many Hebrew Rabbis in history believe, I believe he sweet talked her, then raped her. Huh??

Yep, look what happened later. She told Adam. Adam then 'knew' his Wife. Immediately they both knew they were naked. Huh? Then what did they immediately do? They covered their loins. Yes, loins.  God later would correct even their understanding of naked and He put a tunic on them instead. The tunic covered their chests and loins. 
And what was the punishment for the woman, painful child bearing from .. the loins. 
Later, what was the mark of the covenant God  gave Moses? Circumcision.. the loins again. 
What came out of Adam's Wife? A Cain and an Abel. Abel was just like Adam. Cain was nothing like Adam. Two boys from two different pregnancies from the loins. 
God had told the creatures of His Creation to go forth and multiply. That's the business of the loins. The Serpent would have known this. There are some Rabbis that believe the Serpent literally lusted after 'Eve' in an instinctful way. Obviously God had made the Serpent close enough to human that the two mammals had multiple similarities except Adam had revelation from God, and the Serpent acted only by animal smarts.. what we call a braniac without God in today's world. 

When God immediately asked, "Who told you that you were naked?" to Adam, that was a loin question. 

God's response to the Serpent ended his career. God put him to the ground, changing him into a snake reptile from upright mammal. Remember, God can do whatever He wants. That one in Heaven called lucifer got the same treatment when he was kicked out. From beauty to beast. Fallen angels are now called demons. And they are miserable creatures.. NOT what they used to be as beautiful angels. They fell. They are pitiful creatures trying to find some place to dwell whether it be humans for animals. The same God changed the Serpent forever.

However, there was Cain, a hybrid human. God had accomplished his plan. In one way it was twins : One would hear from God, the other would be completely similar but would not hear from God. Cain couldn't stand it, so he killed Abel .. standard lucifer behavior. The Seth arrived in place of Abel. Seth was from Adam and his now named Wife, Eve : The mother of all living.  The Bible never says that Adam is the father of all living. Neither do the geneologies. 

It could be compared this way :
Michael and Lucifer
Adam and Eve
Abel and Cain
Christ and His Church

There are clearly similarities in the sense that one had the revelation, the other didn't. 
Lucifer needed what 'Michael' or 'Jesus' had.
Eve needed the revelation that Adam had.
Cain needed what Abel had.
The Church,  called out ones,  needed/needs what Christ has.
Revelation., is the answer.

In Heaven beauty and wisdom was lucifers fall.
Or.. the braniac thought he had a better way than God's way of revelation.

The Serpent got to be like Adam, he thought, by making his own baby via Eve. (satan inspired all this BUT God allowed it to happen).

Cain thought beautiful fruit and harvest was as good as Abel's revelation to kill a lamb. When God told Cain to follow in Abel's footsteps, Cain said nope. 

The Church constantly thinks it has a better way to please God intellectually and ritualistically.. instead of God giving personal revelation to individuals. Same patter. God's way just looks too.. sloppy. And definitely God's Way is not profitable. 

Humans prefer profit over prophets. 

So we have lucifer used by God.
We have the serpent used by God. 
Both are then changed from wine to water, symbolically speaking. Or maybe more accurately they are changed from gold to firewood. 

This is the serpent that Jesus Christ was to become. 
This secret was first expressed in a clear fashion when Moses was told by God to put a serpent on a pole for the people to look upon and be healed. 
Numbers 21:8-9 KJV "And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived."

If bit by a serpent, then look at the brass serpent to live. That's an odd one.

This serpent on the pole made of either brass or copper depending on translation, was to represent the way to life. 

Revelation of Jesus Christ chapters 12 and 20 clearly identify the serpent :

Rev 12:7 - And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Rev 12:8 - And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Rev 12:9 - And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Rev 20:1 - And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
Rev 20:2 - And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 
Rev 20:3 - And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Heavy stuff.
So where does it say that Jesus became the serpent on the pole.. ie. Jesus on the Cross?

Jhn 3:14 - And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Jhn 3:15 - That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

This is what the world calls, some crazy stuff.

So here is Jesus/Yeshua saying he is the serpent, lucifer in heaven, serpent in garden, cain, and all related.  Jesus on the cross represents them all. 

So who exactly is Jesus hanging there for? What or Who are we looking at? What is the purpose of it all?  

Jesus said He came for the House of Israel. He was here as a Prophet and as a lamb to be sacrificed. All this was for Israel at this point. Gentiles had nothing to do with it. 

Remember, God allowed lucifer to fall. God allowed Adam to fall. God allowed the serpent to be able to cause the fall. God kept Cain alive and his prodigy. The Bible says God made good and evil. Now this gets hot..

God is Good. But God also allows evil and sets up the scenarios for it to be able to exist. Can you still love Him knowing this is His Plan?

So, God being Love and Light and Good.. takes the full responsibility of what He allowed to happen. He .. is .. going .. to .. take .. the .. punch.

God lowered Himself to become a serpent. The very opposite of what He Eternally Is.  If you are always perfect, how do you become non-perfect? 

This thing called time is basically God dividing Himself into two parts : One is fueled by revelation from God. The other is not given revelation from God. 
Since God cannot split perfection, He created something that had His best traits of impressiveness, humanly speaking, but then chose NOT to give it personal revelation from Himself. 
Simple simon says : He invented a car but gave it no gas. He invented another car but gave it the fuel it needed. 
That.. is the twins. Just like Abel and Cain. Isaac and Ishmael. Jacob and Esau. 

The 'battle' is between God version versus lucifer version. God did them both, God is responsible for both. And God takes the punishment.

It is important when discussing the serpent that God is OneGod. He DID NOT send His boy to die for us.
God WAS/IS His Boy.
An Eternal Spirit doesn't die for a human mammal of time.
God is Eternal, meaning, no beginning and no ending. We cannot grasp no beginning. We cannot grasp God.
So God created a human mammal to represent Him. He created an 'image' for humans that need images to see. Something our limited eye sight can see. And God stepped inside that human.  Or it could be said that he 'morphed' into a human. When He did that, God became a person, a human. "When you see me, you've seen the Father", Jesus said. 

So this human GodMan was to become the serpent he allowed to exist in Heaven and in the Garden within Eden. 

The paradox is that He was going to allow the people of the serpent to kill Him.  Those humans who hated Jesus actually hated God. Yeshua raised people from the dead, He healed, He delivered them from demons, He taught Love Light Goodness.. and they still hated Him. Yes, they were children of the serpent by their very character that manifested. Their 'father' was satan. They were his 'spiritual offspring'. He told them this plainly. 

So the serpent's 'children' would now kill the serpent themselves. Then any human who realized this was actually God's flesh man could be given Life.  What a flip flop.
