(My original blog-message contained numerous images and much unicode Hebrew and Greek, which was removed due to forum/member limitations. The original (which is the best version) is found here : [link to insightfromourheavenlyabbaslight.blogspot.com] )
Have you ever wondered why serpents and dragons are so common within the ancient Biblical-Scriptures, pagan mythologies, cultures, and religions all throughout the world, spanning back many millennia, even to the very beginning of humanity? If these are only imaginary creatures,...then why has this theme endured so long as having withstood the test of time without ever fading? It is because they aren't imaginary after all, and have a firm basis in reality which we should not overlook to our detriment, but take seriously for our benefit.
Within the divinely-inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible, the Hebrew word "saraph" (usually spelled as "seraph" in English) occurs 9 times in 7 verses (of the King James Version),...and most scholars agree that this noun literally means : "fiery serpent". It is #H8314 within the Strong's Exhaustive Hebrew-Greek Concordance. This noun word comes from the root verb "saraph" (which has similar English spelling, but is different in Hebrew), meaning "to burn". Numerous passages, including Numbers 21:6, Deuteronomy 8:15, Isaiah 14:29, and 30:6 refer to them contextually as physical(natural) serpents which "fly"(dart) through the air as they attack and inflict their deadly bites (which cause heat/burning sensations from the poison).
However,...there is something which most people fail to understand : There IS a heavenly order of supernatural seraph angels (plural as "seraphim") which ARE actually serpentine in appearance. Every time "saraph" is used in the original Semetic-Hebrew language of the Tanakh (Old Testament), it is translated into English as "fiery serpent",...except in Isaiah 6. Why did this happen? I firmly believe that the ONLY reason why the translators of the Holy Bible obscured this fact,...is because they did not want to believe (nor illustrate to us) that there are good serpent beings in Heaven who are holy, because it is erroneously interpreted as "taboo" and "contradictory" (even though nothing could be further from the truth).
In the fullest sense, what ARE "flying fiery serpents",...or more precisely, what are serpentine beings which have wings and the ability to fly, as well as to release fire??? Dragons! The very reason that Satan is called the ancient serpent and dragon (in Revelation 12:7, 9 and 20:2) is because he is an unholy Saraph (supernatural dragon/winged serpentine angel). Once we realize this, many of the ancient mysteries become unveiled and we begin to see things with a more enlightened perspective.
Briefly, I want to mention (for the sake of comparison) that many people thoroughly enjoy the benefits of having a "King Snake" around (also called "Milk Snakes"), and they are amongst the beautiful snakes in the world. They are non-poisonous and easy to handle and keep as pets. Likewise, they eat other snakes, especially poisonous ones (including rattlesnakes and cobras), and are completely immune to venom. It is no wonder that the extremely popular King Snake is claimed by some to be an interesting symbol of Yahushua (Jesus) our Messiah, who took on an earthly form and defeated sin on the execution stake (or Roman cross), ultimately nullifying the spiritual venom of Satan, the evil serpent-angel.
Did you know that our Creator repeatedly uses the holy serpent theme in representing/symbolizing Good triumphing over evil (which oftentimes manifests itself in serpentine form)? Here are two excellent examples from the sacred Scriptures :
Within Exodus 7:9-12, Yahweh commanded Moses and Aaron to go before the pagan Egyptian pharaoh and challenge the sorcerers of their pagan serpent-cult. Aaron's rod (which was cast upon the ground) miraculously transformed into a serpent which completely devoured the shape-shifted serpents-rods of Egypt's head sorcerer-magicians. This symbolized the "Good Serpent" in conquering the evil curse of Satan. We see another case in Numbers 21:6-9,
"Then Yahweh sent among the people fiery serpents [seraphim nahashim], and they bit the people, so that many of the people of Israel died. And the people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against and against you; pray to Yahweh, that He take away the serpent [nahash] from us. So Moses prayed for the people. And Yahweh said to Moses, “Make for yourself a fiery [serpent] [saraph], and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.” So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole; and if a serpent bit a man, he would look at the bronze serpent and live."
This bronze serpent on the pole was a symbolic representation of Yahushua (Jesus) the Messiah who would later become the atoning sacrifice for the sins of mankind, and bring healing to all who believe in His Name.
"Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life." (John 3:14-15)
Yahushua (Jesus) also commanded His disciples :
"...Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves." (Matthew 10:16)
There have been numerous archaeological discoveries over the years which confirm that the image of the brazen serpent on the pole most likely had wings, much like the Seraphim angels. One such example is a plate found with Sennacherib’s booty at Calah (Nimrud) which depicts a winged serpent on a pole, as well as a lmlk seal, universally thought to date from Hezekiah’s reign and found in many excavations of the cities of Judah, was found in the same area at the Assyrian palace as well as other bronzes with Hebrew inscriptions. The plate appears in all likelihood to be of Hebrew or Phoenician origin and represents a Seraph on a pole, also called a "Nehushtan" (which was sometimes worshipped as an idol, as indicated in 2 Kings 18:4).
The official symbol for medicine today is none other than the serpent(s) on a pole, with wings at the top, representing healing. Even though it has been called the "caduceus" ("herald's staff") which is allegedly carried by the false god "Hermes" (in Greek mythology), this is a satanically clever counterfeit. The fact is that it IS a direct reference to Messiah,...and the holy Seraph(serpent-angels) who are holy as they surround the throne and are filled with the fire of Yahweh.
Just as our Creator expressed His divine wisdom in establishing an incredible synergistic biological diversity within nature and the universe,...so likewise, He has created such unique diversity within the numerous classes of the heavenly order and hierarchy of holy beings, including the Seraphim, Cherubim, and Ophanim (living spirit-wheels with eyes), also called thrones in Greek New Testament (thronos), dominions(kuriotes), authorities (exousia), rulers/archangels (arche), powers (kosmokratōr), and angels/messengers (malakim in Hebrew/aggelos in Greek). A few of the references to these classes of beings are in Ezekiel 10:12-14 and Revelation 4:8 (which show both the 4-winged/4-faced Cherubim [also called "living beasts"], as well as those with 6 wings), Ophanim/wheels in Ezekiel 1:15-21 and Daniel 7:9, rulers/thrones/powers/authorities in Colossians 1:16 and Ephesians 6:12, etc. These usually seem masculine in nature, but there are also feminine ones, as confirmed in Zechariah 5:9.
Below, I will add in the proper translation in brackets for accurate understanding of the text. The prophet Isaiah records his experience of seeing the serpentine Seraphim beings in 6:1–3:
"...I saw Yahweh sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the sanctuary. Above Him stood the Seraphim[accurately translated as "fiery serpents"]; each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew."
In this powerful vision the seraphim ["fiery serpents"] continually cried aloud to each other, '"Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory"' (verse 3). The "foundations of the thresholds" of the Temple were moved by the sound of their voices.
The 4 and 6-winged Cherubim are somewhat similar to the 6-winged Seraphim, and are part animalistic in appearance, having 4 faces : of a bull, lion, eagle, and man. These faces are believed to represent specific expressions of the multi-fold nature of Yahweh our Creator who reveals His characteristics in both literal and symbolic ways. Thus, it is no surprise that the Seraphim (also with 6 wings) are likewise different from the rest of the angelic hierarchy, having unique features which give us further insight about our heavenly Father, and His eternal Blood Covenant through the sacrifice of His firstborn Son, Yahushua (Jesus) the Messiah . All of these beings are called "living beasts" for a reason,...but are perfectly righteous and holy, as compared to the (soon-to-rise from the underworld Abyss) "beast", fallen angel Abaddon/Apollyon who will empower (anti-messiah and false prophet, in Revelation 19:20, etc.).
The Israeli army calls their AH64 Attack Helicopter the "Seraph", because of its clear allusion to a sky-soaring, fire-breathing dragon, and a winged dragon Seraph has been painted on the fuselage. It is common to see "flying fiery serpents/dragons" used in symbols within their military forces. There is also an image of the Seraph-"The Flying Serpent" insignia which is used by the Israeli Paratroopers Brigade.
It is not far-fetched at all to interpret the Hebrew word "saraph" as always being properly translated as "fiery serpent", in both the natural and supernatural context, for we also see other examples within the Holy Bible's Scriptures which confirm this same exact theme :
The Hebrew words, "nachash" and "seraph" are used interchangeably by Moses (in Genesis, etc.), and both are specifically referring to serpents, natural and supernatural :
"Yahweh Elohim said to the serpent [nahash], “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild animals; upon your belly you shall go, and dust [haphar] you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall crush [alt. strike, trample; yeshuphenu] your head and you shall bruise [alt. strike, bite; teshuphenu] His heel." (Gen 3:14-15) (see also 2 Corinthians 11:3)
This is the head Satan (adversary) of satans, the devil of devils, and the highest prince and power of the air, who is the ancient serpent-angel being who tempted and deceived Adam/Eve, leading humanity into it's own downfall. (2 Corinthians 4:4 ; Ephesians 2:2) Just like with the word "saraph",..."nahash" is also used interchangeably to represent both the natural and supernatural serpents. The curse which Creator Yahweh placed upon Satan was not forcing him to crawl on his belly and literally eat dirt (for he is an angel which flies), but rather, to be trapped in this lower dimension, and not be able to escape his fate of being doomed to feed upon fallen humanity's carnal (fleshly) nature and sin-energy, until he is judged and cast into the underworld darkness forever, underneath the dust of the surface of planet Earth. Even though he was created as an instrument of evil, he became cursed because of sinning and going beyond the boundaries which Yahweh had established. There is no punishment unless a violation is committed. It is somewhat similar to the numerous other angels who transgressed and became bound in various locations of the underworld (2 Peter 2:4 ; Jude 1:6)
Why and how is Satan able to remain so powerful and command such allegiance from his fallen hordes? He is a serpentine saraph-angel, which is ranked in the highest level of the angelic hierarchy. The main difference is that he does not have the true Holy Spirit-Fire of Creator Yahweh, and no genuine heavenly glory to be a full-spectrum saraph (at peak divine potential), but rather, is an unglorified evil saraph who was created in the beginning as the destroyer. The being, Satan and the supernatural force of evil were created for a divine purpose. The Word gives witness to this truth :
"I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and create evil. I am Yahweh, who does all these things." (Isaiah 45:7)
"Behold, I have created the blacksmith that blows the coals in the fire, and that brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the destroyer to destroy." (Isaiah 54:16)
He is also referred to as the "beast" Abaddon/Apollyon in Revelation 9:11 (who will empower the anti-messiah and false prophet during the Great Tribulation), and this name specifically means : "Destroyer".
"You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies." (John 8:44)
Satan was a murderer from the very beginning of creation, and always hated the truth, because he was created as the father of lies, tempter and destroyer, the very instrument of evil to be the main tester of the collective race of mankind who must make a choice between Good (Messiah-righteousness) and evil (self-centeredness),...the Light (of Yahweh's Holy Spirit-Presence) and the darkness (of demonic energies),...and ultimately, the eternal, pleasurable Blessing of Heaven and the tormenting curse of Hell.
Here is an important Scripture which many do not pay close attention to, but rather tend to overlook :
"It's sneezings flash forth light, and its eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn. From its mouth go flaming torches; sparks of fire leap out. Out of its nostrils comes smoke, as from a boiling pot and burning rushes. Its breath kindles coals, and a flame comes out of its mouth." (Job 41:18-21)
This is a unique description of a fire-breathing dragon from the Holy Bible which does not contain fictional mythological tales, but only pure truth. There are supernatural good and evil Saraph-dragons (which are angels), and throughout history, natural (physical) flying reptile-dragons also existed.
Not only did ancient human civilization have contact with various last remnants of the dinosaurs (who were dying out), including flying reptile-dragons with fire-breathing abilities (as indicated within the Bible's book of Job 41:1-34, as well as numerous other historical records around the world),...but likewise, has been experiencing the combined supernatural/natural reptilian hybrid offspring of Satan and his fallen angels who have been creating Nephilim "aliens" via various genetic bloodlines for millennia.
The transliterared noun word, "Nephilim" (erroneously translated as "giants") is derived from the verb root, "naphal" ("to fall"), and specifically means : "fallen ones". The fallen bene'elohim (angels which disobeyed Creator Yahweh) sired their Nephilim offspring in an attempt to defile the bloodlines of the human race, and "prevent" the birth of Messiah via the lineage of Eve. Likewise, it is part of Satan's plan to resist the apocalyptic return of Messiah Yahushua (Jesus) and escape these lower dimensions, as well as the soon-coming wrath of the Almighty who will judge him for his sins. Of course, all of his efforts will ultimately be futile, for his fate has already been sealed and he will be removed from tempting/destroying humanity any further, whenever he is cast into the eternal lake of fire in Hell (as revealed in Revelation 20:10). This supernatural war via natural bloodlines is mentioned within the divine prophecy of Genesis 3:14-15.
The Scriptures state in Genesis 6:4,
"The Nephilim were on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God [bene'elohim] went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the mighty men, and legendary figures of ancient times." (see also Numbers 13:33)
This is specifically referring to the hybrid demi-gods who were the offspring of fallen angels and humans, and exhibited extraordinary powers and were worshipped by the world who built ziggurat-pyramid temples and idols by their influence, and memorialized them in pagan mythologies-religions. Many of these so-called "gods" appeared as serpents and other animal-form hybrids combined with human flesh. These Nephilim hybrids are also mentioned within the books of Enoch (who is quoted within Jude 1:14), Jasher, Jubilees and the Giants. As another confirmation, Enoch was translated during ancient times by Jews into the Greek language, and the word for Seraphim was "Drakones" (transliterated as "dragons"),...which are winged, flying fire-breathing serpents.
Since some of the angels have human appearances, some of their hybrid children are also human-like, whom many UFO-abductees and witnesses worldwide have seen and call the "humanoid aliens" or "Nordics". Likewise, many have seen hybrids who have serpentine or draconian forms, including the infamous drone-"Greys"(who are usually small, compared to the giants). They are known to have tremendous powers, including telepathy(communicating mind-to-mind), teleportation, levitation, and also for being "chameleons"(shape-shifting in order to confuse the perceptions of eyewitnesses). These (subterranean and extraterrestrial) beings not only walk upon this planet, but also fly in "UFO" crafts as literal "flying serpents" in fiery crafts. One of the popular UFO-abduction films (which is based on true story) is called : "Fire In The Sky".
The Mayans of Central and South America believed in and worshipped "Gucumatz", who is called the "serpent of wisdom". Just the same, the Aztecs in Mexico, Central, and South America worshipped and offered human and animal sacrifices to "Quetzalcoatl", who was their leader and king, being a feathered-winged serpent being who also shape-shifted into humanoid form, and allegedly was their lawgiver and sometimes depicted as traveling in a "flying rocket". Many of the Mayans and Aztecs believed that their serpent gods came from underwater caves (called cenotes), and thus, dropped sacrifices and treasures down into them. In ancient Indian mythology, there were the "Nagas" and the "Sarpa" (humanoid lizards/serpents), including "Mucalinda" who overshadowed/protected "Buddha". The Hopi Indians speak of a serpent race or "Sheti"(the snake-brothers) who supposedly came back and forth from the heavens to the earth and eventually retreated underground. Some of Cherokee, Choctaw, and Chickasaw Indians teach that there was a horned serpent-man (called "Sint Holo") who gave them wisdom and their language, and that he dwelt in an underwater cave.
In India's ancient Vedic literature, etc., there are some ancient manuscripts which speak of human-like, as well as serpent-like beings who flew around in "vimanas"(space rockets/crafts). The nation of Sumer[ia](which means: the land of the guardians) has clay tablets which have details about the "Anunnaki"(meaning: 'Those who from heaven to earth came') and stories about the "Dingir"(righteous ones of blazing rockets). One of their main symbols is that of a serpent encompassing a ray-emitting winged disk(craft). Likewise, the Egyptian records tell of the "Neteru"(which is translated as: 'the Watchers who came in heavenly boats'). Within their hieroglyphics, there are also symbols of winged flying disks. The Assyrians also believed in "Ashur", the "wing-disked god". In Babylon(which means: "Gate of the gods"), there are records of the "star-gates", in which it was believed that they were portals through which the "star-gods" could travel from space into our earthly dimension. At least one film and two science-fiction series have been made which are based on some of the mythology of these star-gates.
Within a few of the Celtic myths, there are writings about serpents and dragons visiting them, and shortly afterwards, there was widespread infertility and strife. In Athens, Greece, there is a belief that their first king was "Cecrops", being half-man and snake. Greek mythology makes mention of some of the titans/gigantes who were winged half-man and serpent beings. The Chinese and Japanese have a lengthy history of the "Long"(dragons) who appeared in physical and non-physical forms. The Japanese also believed that there existed the "Kappa", who were reptilian humanoids. In China, it is believed that their first emperor was "Huang-Ti", who is said to have been half-human and draconian, whose mother was impregnated by a beam of light emanating from the "Alpha Draconis" star. From the continent of Africa comes a story from the Zulu shamans of a reptilian race who controls the Earth, called the "Chitahuri". Australian Aborigines speak of a reptilian race living underground and governing men. They also claim that they are descended from a race of draco-humans. Last but not least, I will mention that Adolf Hitler (from Germany) was fond of drawing reptilian humanoids and claimed to be in contact with them. He also spoke about these "supermen" living in underground bases, and that they had "fierce eyes" and were fearsome. It has been reported by some sources that he had certain high levels of his "SS" group manufacture disk aircraft (which resemble the UFOs that are widely seen globally).
In current times, there are still many millions of sightings reported all around the world by eyewitnesses as well as those who have been abducted by these beings. There is an ongoing and progressively successful conditioning of millions of people (via the entertainment industry, news media, etc.) to accept the idea that there are "bad aliens" out there which we will need the help of "good aliens" to successfully fight against, survive and "evolve into a higher state of consciousness". Hollywood television series, such as "V", "The X-Files", and films like "Independence Day", and "War of the Worlds" are all part of an Illuminati psy-ops campaign, containing propaganda which oftentimes uses occult symbolism and what is called "Predictive Programming" in order to convince people that it is very likely within the near future that an alien invasion will come. Once these supernaturally-empowered "extraterrestrial" beings manifest themselves openly on a mass scale worldwide in the near future during a time of global crisis, many will not hesitate to surrender themselves to the influence of these dark forces,...for after all, this will be a part of the "strong delusion" which has been foretold in the Scriptures.
"The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs and lying wonders...and for this reason, Elohim will send them a strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they may all be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (2 Thessalonians 2:9,11,12)
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears to hear, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned to fables." (2 Timothy 4:3,4)
Will the world pervert the truth into a lie, calling evil alien-beings as "good benefactors", and erroneously claim that Messiah and the armies of Heaven are from "from the dark side of the Force" which should be opposed"???
What are the fables which this passage is speaking of? Could it be the satanic deception in the form of fictional (lie-filled) stories and myths about the supposed origin, nature and purpose of these "gods", the alleged claims that they came to this planet to "seed" humanity and create us in their "image and likeness", and have been monitoring, genetically-modifying, and guiding the human race towards the next step of "macro-evolution" and "unified, universal consciousness"? It's not a surprise at all to hear a rising chorus of sources erroneously claim that it was the "extraterrestrial aliens" (also called "ancient astronauts") who were the very "creators" of man. There is nothing new under the sun, and history merely repeats itself in loops (Ecclesiastes 1:9). May history not be forgotten, as we accept the truth and apply wisdom towards receiving our Salvation which is freely available from Messiah Yahushua (Jesus) who dwells in Heaven above, at the right hand of the Father of lights who loves us with an everlasting love.
All throughout the vast and beautiful expanse of outer space,...we can clearly see the stars and their constellations which were created by YaHuWaH specifically for "signs and for seasons, and for days and years" (Genesis 1:14). Encoded within the heavens is the original Story of Salvation-Redemption, as intended by our Creator who speaks His eternal message to us through His creation. It was a star (or perhaps a unique alignment of constellations or conjunction of planets) which led the Persian magi (wise men) to locate the child Yahushua (Jesus) after He was born during 3 B.C. in Bethlehem,...and it is the stars which continually point to Him as our Savior.
"The heavens are telling of the glory of El, and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day after day they pour out speech; night after night they communicate knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world." (Psalms 19:1-4)
The heavenly Mazzaroth (Zodiac) has 12 main constellations which accurately begins with Virgo (representing the virgin Mary, and Israel) and ends with Leo (which symbolizes the "Lion of the tribe of Judah", of Revelation 5:5), representing the victorious triumph of Messiah (as the ultimate Warrior from the bloodline of Judah) over evil. This original Story of Redemption has been diluted and corrupted/perverted throughout the millennia by occultic-pagans, and converted into astrology for the purpose of worshipping mythological gods, gaining knowledge via divination, etc. The Holy Bible mentions a few of the various heavenly Maazaroth-constellations within Job 38:31-32, Revelation 12:1, etc. Not only does the heavenly Redemption Story reveal the past, but also prophetically foretells the future in perfect unity with the Biblical Scriptures.
One of the constellations is erroneously called "Hercules", which is more accurately called Yahushua (Jesus), and depicts Him holding a rod in His hand and standing with his foot upon the constellation of Draco. He appears to be beating a Dragon with his club (rod) of judgment/wrath. The snake is shown in the branches of a tree — most likely representing the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil" (in Genesis 2:17). This is a prophetic sign which points to Genesis 3:14-15, where Yahweh told Satan the dragon-serpent-seraph angel that the seed of Eve (Messiah) would crush his head, after he bruised His heel (during the crucifixion). Serpents and scorpions are predators known for striking the heel of a human (to inflict their deadly poison) whenever attacking. Non-coincidentally, the constellation of "Scorpio" refers to Satan, as well as his ultimate Nephilim-hybrid seed-"son" who will become the chosen vessel of anti-messiah "Beast").
The Son of Virgo is none other than Yahushua (Jesus) the Son of Creator Yahweh Elohim (via the virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit), while Scorpio directly points to the soon-to-rise Anti-messiah. The Son of Virgo is the 12th sign, Leo, the Conquering Lion who shall one day come to destroy Hydra, the many-headed Dragon.
Messiah said to His disciples :
"Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you." (Luke 10:19)
What else does the Holy Bible say in relation to this specific topic?
"You shall tread on the lion and cobra: the young lion and the dragon shall you trample under feet." (Psalm 91:13)
"The God [Elohim] of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet." (Romans 16:20)
"By His Spirit the skies became clear; His hand pierced the crooked serpent." (Job 26:13 ; see also Isaiah 27:1 )
The “serpent” mentioned in Job 26:13 is one of the leading characters mentioned within the Mazzaroth (Zodiac). The Hebrew term used for “crooked” more accurately refers to a “fleeing” serpent. Among the various serpent constellations within the Mazzaroth, Hydra is the only one seen trying to get away from the lion, who pounces on his head (representing Messiah, the "lion of Judah"); the bird, who eats his flesh; and the bowl of wrath being poured out upon him (all of which are mentioned within the book of Revelation). Therefore, Hydra appears to be the “fleeing serpent” which is referred to within the book of Job.
There are various constellations which directly refer to Satan, the Seraph-serpenting angel :
1) Draco : a dragon curled around the northern polar star and whose tail covers a third of the circle of the heavens.
2) Cetus : the Leviathan or sea dragon.
3) Scorpio : the seed of the serpent.
4) Hydra : the many-headed dragon, whose tail also covers a third of the ecliptic path of the sun.
Satan is called the "god of this age" (in 2 Cor. 4:4) for a reason, and we should not be surprised by his clever chameleon (shape-shifting) nature, which makes evil appear as "good", and the lie as the "truth".
"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." (2 Corinthians 11:14)
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12)
Be encouraged to know that there is a glorious hope in the midst of satanic hopelessness, for our Creator has promised to deliver us from bondage into His eternal liberty. Even though this world is growing darker by the day as Satan increases his global deception of the masses, there is an escape from this present darkness via the glorious light of our heavenly Father which is shown towards us through Yahushua (Jesus) the Messiah, who is not willing that any should perish, but that all should receive eternal life.
After the soon-to-come Great Tribulation and reign of Satan (via the anti-messiah and false prophet),...he will receive divine judgment (being thrown into "the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels", as written in Matthew 25:41)...and righteousness shall reign forevermore, ages without end. HalleluYAH!!!
"In that day, Yahweh will punish with His sword-- His fierce, great and powerful sword-- Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; He will slay the monster of the sea." (Isaiah 27:1)
"He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years." (Revelation 20:2)
"And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever." (Revelation 20:10)
"And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home--these He has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day." (Jude 1:6)
When Messiah returns and sets up His Kingdom of light, filling the planet with the pure glory of Yahweh's Holy Spirit,...there will be perfect peace in every place. The supernatural (spiritual) serpents (Satan and his fallen angels) will be bound and cast into the underworld,...and likewise, the natural (physical) serpents will no longer bite and inflict poison, for evil shall be subdued in totality and holy love rightfully restored.
"The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. Also the cow and the bear will graze. Their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper's den. They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Yahweh as the waters cover the sea." (Isaiah 11:6-9)
