I pray one day that i can defend God's Word as effectively as you can, Wes. Reaching lost souls has become harder and harder with so many lies abounding on a device everyone has in their pocket.
Your answering questions I didn't even know I had lol. Very interesting to see things like this and how to properly break down ancient manuscripts. I will never be an expert in them but your content breaks it down to a level that is very intriguing to me and easy to follow. Thanks brother and keep up the good work!
I just found Wes after "the debate" and i watched a 30 min clip on Bible reliability thereafter. Dude is GOAT level. Making me sharp for the cutting down of arguments. Solid dude
You may not know all that he knows without going to school for it like he did but I promise you can learn all this kind of stuff on your own because it's literally just a linguistic issue. Get yourself a good Hebrew Greek Lexicon take some Hebrew and Greek classes and get yourself a good Messianic Bible teacher that can explain language culture history and context to you. Plus we must never forget how good God truly is. Once you start diving into the stuff and learning some other things become blatantly apparent and start jumping off the page at you❤🎉
@sheriedwards362 we're all theologians to some extent, or at least we're called to be. King David wasn't a scholar, He was a man w a heart after God and a man made to be a King. Not everyone has the time to devote their hours to scholarship like Wes, and not everyone is called to. God uses everyone differently, some being pastors, scholars, evangelist etc.. "Study to show yourself approved", yes, but I have no desire to be Wes. Honor God where he's placed you. In the village of Africa or the City streets of the USA. Period.
Comming across bible language scholoars who believe has beena great blessing to me and the rest of The world I feel. You and the late Michael Hieser are sucha blessing that helps so many drawl colser to God.
The idea to search how the earlier readers or listeners understood those passages is very interesting. It can sometimes turn your own approach and understanding of a Bible passage upside down. "These were not writen to us but well for us." That makes it even more important nowadays to read and study the Word of God. I have been convinced of it for this last 35 years and the accuracy of it is more and more obvious. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, approach and understanding of such topics. Great value ! God bless you and carry on inspiring you.
That Serpent of old was originally called The Morning Star in scripture says he masquerades as an angel of Light. All of what you said makes perfect sense to me❤
Well done. Ancient manuscripts in our language, Thankyou as us mere ones who can’t understand the ins and outs of those ancient writings. Very interesting and Thankyou to Doreen Virtue for leading me to your site!! Keep up the great work brother👍💝💝
Thank u for sharing all your knowledge with us. Dr. Heiser started me on the path of reading scripture“ in context”.

Thank you for exposing Billy Carson, so many people were blinded by him.. that's the problem with this world so many people out there looking for an excuse to believe in another God it takes a genius to remind people of histories and proper facts and knowledge and Truth... Again I say to you thank you
I would mostly agree but there is one particular verse in Is. 65:25 I think you would find to be on interest. In the new earth it describes the serpents eating dust along with the lions eating straw.
If this is an account as old as Adam, the Serpent is not necessarily figuratively named after snakes but snakes later may very well have been figuratively named after the nature and account of mankind’s oldest and most famous enemy.

who or what made that serpent appear to talk? The people of ancient Israel knew of other factors that shed much light on the role of that snake. For example, they knew that although animals do not talk, a spirit person can make an animal appear to speak. Moses also wrote the account about Balaam; God sent an angel to make Balaam’s donkey talk like a man.-Numbers 22:26-31; 2 Peter 2:15, 16. Can other spirits, including those who are God’s enemies, perform miracles? Moses had seen the magic-practicing priests of Egypt duplicate some of God’s miracles, such as making a staff appear to turn into a snake. The power to perform feats like that could come only from God’s enemies in the spirit realm.-Exodus 7:8-12. Evidently Moses was also the inspired writer of the book of Job. That book taught much about God’s chief enemy, Satan, who lyingly challenged the integrity of all of Jehovah’s servants. (Job 1:6-11; 2:4, 5) Did the Israelites of old thus reason that Satan had manipulated the serpent in Eden, making it appear to talk and deceive Eve into breaking her integrity to God? It seems likely. Was Satan the force behind the serpent? Jesus later referred to Satan as “a liar and the father of the lie.” (John 8:44) “The father of the lie” would be the author of the first lie ever told, would he not? The first lie is found in the serpent’s words to Eve. Contradicting God’s warning that eating the forbidden fruit would end in death, the serpent said: “You positively will not die.” (Genesis 3:4) Clearly, Jesus knew that Satan had manipulated the serpent. The Revelation that Jesus gave to the apostle John settles the matter, calling Satan “the original serpent.”-Revelation 1:1; 12:9. Is it really far-fetched to believe that a powerful spirit person could manipulate a serpent, making it appear to talk? Even humans, though far less powerful than spirits, can perform baffling tricks of ventriloquism and create convincing special effects.
All the beasts could speak back then. The “serpent” was more like an Asian dragons. Floating tiny legs, same thing America is named after. Land of the feathered of plumber serpent is what America means. They used to call it quizictol or however you spell it. Same serpent that washed up on shores of India and has been worshipped ever since as Kundalini. Earth was very different back then, many creatures we call myths today.
@@codymadison9993 Sounds plausible . The Serpent was more like a Dragon , which Satan is referred to as both .? I think I read somewhere in a extra Biblical book that the animals could talk before the Fall or the Flood . Might have been Jasher , maybe Jubilees or the book of Noah ?
The snake is the character of this spiritual creature it can also be in us, most of the Word is trying to teach us our mindset and behavior and Praise God !!🙌🏾Jesus taught us how to live it❤🙏🏾💪🏾
You say the serpent was "The author of the first lie ever told"..... reading the Bible again, it appears that the Serpent did not lie. Adam and Eve did not die on the day they ate the fruit.
I think Adam and Eve could talk with the animals. People have been able to work out that certain sounds of cats have meaning and are able to use the sounds correctly. Also cats and dogs can use buttons to communicate with their owners.
It's very important to understand first that there is not just one satan in reality. And satan is a hebrew word that simply means "[to] rebel/go against." And we've seen this context being displayed from both the old and new testament timelines.
From the book of jubilees And on that day was closed the mouth of all beasts, and of cattle, and of birds, and of whatsoever walks, and of whatsoever moves, so that they could no longer speak: for they had all spoken one with another with one lip and with one tongue. And he sent out of the Garden of Eden all flesh that was in the Garden of Eden, and all flesh was scattered according to its kinds, and according to its types unto the places which had been created for them. YOVHELIYM (JUBILEES) 3:29-30 את CEPHER
You can go the route of “shinning one” if u want, but then you have to use that consistently when God calls him a dragon, sea serpent, viper, flying serpent, along with all of his followers being vipers. Satan is likely “the snake” the same way Jesus is “the Lamb” seen in revelation.
Native American here & Christian, something scholars always leave out is the "Spirit World" and "Visions" because they cannot recreate such a thing or study it, the Feathered Serpent and Thunderbird is real and the same thing as the Lightning from the Heavens Jesus saw. But you will have to die temporarily to see it & the same thing goes for Jesus, if you die you got a 50/50 chance to see one or the other depending on your deeds and ways.
It was a method to talk about the yetzer hara. Adam is called “dust” and the serpent is made to eat the dust. The yetzer hara causes one to act like an animal in its instinct of survival and even lower than all animals in some cases. All sin can trace its roots to giving one’s self to this serpent also called “the flesh aka the sinful nature aka the devil. A serpent may have been crawling on the tree and cause Chava to question what she was told: “not to touch it” and thought it would lead to death. But if a snake can do these things, why not her? She desired to be an Elohim and know all things. The battle between seed could be understood as the inner turmoil battling the yetzer hara and the yetzer hatov. A lot of unknowns about this section of scripture.
Since there were no chapter breaks in the original manuscripts, chapter 13:1 of Isaiah gives us context of who is being referred to in 14:12; the king of Babylon
@@joshuascott3428Agreed, but one only needs to read Isaiah 1:1 to be able to take into account the time that Isaiah lived and prophesied. It’s the literal king of Babylon being prophesied about
Ezekiel 28:13-15 KJV Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. [14] Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. [15] Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
I have a special request for future videos. 1. I read some (most) of the book of Adam and Eve. Could you talk about this book like you have talked about with the others? Origins, author(s), parallels, etc. Thanks! 2) Also, the story of Sampson and the other Judges. Sampson always read to my heart as I struggled with similarities and it always fascinated me that these Judges seemed more than just a normal humans. If you can just expand on it the story and the origins and maybe any hidden parallels that I may have missed in my Bible studies would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, @Wes Huff!
I read a book once by Kurt Wise (the paleontologist and Harvard professor / Christian and study of literature). Who stated that the word used in the Bible with a belly, dragging stride. That we don’t know if we’re even talking about a snake, but could almost be any other reptile
It stands to reason that the serpent wasn't a snake in the sense that we know snakes. I don't think God cursed a snake to crawl on its belly if it already crawled on its belly. Therefore, the serpent must have been in a different form. Nor is it figurative language since the events of the Fall are literal. Satan could also have been possessing or influencing the serpent since we see Satan elsewhere in scripture, not in the form of a snake.
There is a belief that snakes had wings and could fly. In one ancient text it refers to flying fiery serpents. It sounds as if God punished the serpent for allowing itself to be used for evil and was cursed to crawl instead of fly.
Also Angel in the parts of the Bible have animal heads just like Egyptian gods. "Each of the cherubim had four faces: One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle."
Maby is out of topic, but I wander: If God is all powerful and all knowing, consequently he knew what was going to happen! Actually, he created it to be that way!?
He created us with Free Will, which involves a risk that the creation is going to choose to go the opposite way intended. Of course, God knew humans would fall into sin. And He had the plan of a way back to Him even before He created the world. It's all in the Hebrew language, the pure language. Pastor Mark Biltz explains.
Hiya Wes! You're the one who took down the old mocker. I learned of Billy Carson back in summer of '17. He spoke about aliens and crazy scientific finds. I'm a fan of the supernatural you know. When he kept talking about Jesus like a no good joker. I was offended. Nothing he said waiverd my faith in Christ, it's apart of me now and before I remembered.
Hi Wes.. could the interpretation be for both a literal snake and also a descriptive narrative of what would happen to the evil one? The reason why i ask is that the scripture described the serpent as being craftier than all the other animals. Angels are created beings and were never described as animals, so im curious. Also, i love your content. i pray you continue to do the work of the Lord. I am learning so much and have invited others to subscribe to your page to deepen their knowledge of the Lord
The snake has always been a symbol of human wisdom (as opposed, I presume, to wisdom that is divine). Also don't know if it was meant to convey anything but always thought it was curious that Eve was said to be composed from a rib of Adam, while a snake is almost exclusively rib.
As the Bible says in James 3:13-17: Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
Yo Wes, a debate with you and Bart Ehrman would be fire. James White was not really able to refute him and became angry at him hh. But maby you could continue to talk about the points they disagreed on. ;)
Most people need real bible studies to unlearn a lot of bible false narratives, humble yourself and be teachable, like the bible says study to show yourself approved onto God. There’s a saying let the bible interpret the bible. 🙏🏾 Wes keep teaching the truth bless you.
Satan USED the serpent just like he USED Judas...it was a literal snake with legs; just like a lizard or alligator: but God took the serpents legs for it's participation in the deception of Woman....Not Everything is symbolic in the bible only. Moses knew what he was saying...
Yes, but do WE know what Moses was saying? What if what we think it says, isn’t really what the author meant to say at all? Wes wasn’t arguing for a merely symbolic view. Based on what he said, the serpent was a real being, but described in a way that describes its title or nature, not just its physical appearance. I think Wes agrees more with you than you might realize.
@isaiahpohle848 well Woman had a talk with the serpent...she was punished for Listening to it and it was punished for decieving her. The Text is Acurate. And Satan is a Cherub But he used the Serpent and He himself is called THAT OLD SERPENT THE DEVIL..
God conceals the truth from the scholars and the intellectuals but reveals it to little children. Because our brains are flesh and the word of God is Spirit.
@philisii Yes! The Holy Spirit fills the empty vessels. Those who deny themselves, and empty themselves of their own spirits. Stay humble, obedient and simple like a little child. 2 Corinthians 11:3 KJV - 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.
Had only seen a small amount of your content before watching you destroy Billy Carson , now I'm binge watching you like crazy ! Amen , brother ! Spread His Holy name ! Jesus Christ is KING of King's!
No, no he was not and is not a talking snake, a half goat man with horns, or any other conjuring of foolish man. Satan if referring to Lucifer, not simply referring to accuser or liar, is BEAUTIFUL. He’s one of the most beautiful creations in all of creation seen or unseen. Mortal men would most likely bow down to worship him if he had his illustrious being unveiled to us. This is why only God the creator and his faithful can deal with Satan/Lucifer. Isaiah 14:12
It's interesting Mr.Hoff says to look how these early first Believers took the information to mean when none of them thought the trinity was even a thing at the time , only starting to coalesce 200 years or more later , after christ , for example.
False, there are several instances of the triune being explained in the old testament. Gotta actually read to learn that though, I suppose you havent had a youtube video to watch and explain that to you before.
@@legends_of_the_voidSo you're assuming that i'm ignorant and I haven't already looked, show me where it is that you are referring to and we can discuss it.
@@legends_of_the_void If that's the case, name one instance in the Old Testament and we can discuss it. I don't believe that these so-called examples actually do in either the new or the old. So what do you have in mind?Let's have a chat.
@@leecooper3852 Let US make man in OUR likeness. You don't even have to go far to find a plural. Angels didn't help God make man which is confirmed in later scripture. Probably also say that the Son is never mentioned in the Old testament, try Proverbs 30 verses 3-4. There are many many instances of the singular God being referred as a plural noun and in Hebrew to have a plural you need at least 3. Please stop telling lies.
I'm 3 years late... but just wondering what the Greek word ὄφις adds to this conversation when referring to Satan as that ancient serpent in Rev. 20:2. Does that change the perspective at all?
I still don’t understand what the snake has to with the devil , did snakes at one point walk and talk , and the curse was they shall Now crawl ? Why a snake , why not a cow ? Why was the snake in the garden of Eden , why was satan in the garden of Eden . And why have a forbidden tree growing there . I ask as a believer ,
Great stuff. So many well meaning believers fail to properly exegete passages like this. That often leads to lots of wacky views that really dull the theology the bible is trying to present. A friend at our little bible study asked "why did God say have no other gods before me if there aren't any?" I responded "that would make as much sense to curse a snake to the ground where it already lived."
The serpent in the garden said to Eve if you eat it you would not surely die. But the Lord God said to Adam if you eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you will die. So who lied the serpent or Lord God? And what kind of God curses?
Hey everyone,just listen to Wes since he beat Billy Carson in a debate. God spoke in a way that only Wes can understand it,from Wes perspective,and what makes the most sense to him.
Spiritual beings can make themselves seen in our physical world, similar to angels in the Bible or even the Holy Spirit which looked like a dove descending upon Jesus when baptized. Thus, there is good reason to believe Satan (also a spiritual being, though fallen) did the same in Genesis
Serpent worship is all over and throughout the ancient world it's quite compelling and unsettling , I always thought the snake could fly before the Lord cursed it because God usually does the opposite , for example "the Lord takes no pleasure in punishing the wicked " so the opposite indicates God 🙏 would prefer to bless those who turn away from wickedness by turning to him . Also even the word America means land of the "plumed serpent " .....The ancient world had predilection for Cows and Snakes it seems
The Bible is so multifaceted multi layered We can’t even comprehend all of it because we’re not smart enough. I do pray that God allows those fall upon his name and do his well to be able to discern whether or not someone will align with God‘s will.
Is satan and lucifer the same? Lucifer is said to be a cherubim in Ezek.28:14, i.e. a human-lion-eagle-ox angel. Satan is said to be a 7-headed-serpent-angel in Revelation 12:3 ... which I'm not sure are given a label explicitly in the Bible, though I am of the theory that, courtesy of the word "seraph" relation to serpents, and of the menorah design, that "seraphim" could have been 7-headed-angels instead of the Orthodox/Muslim version of perpetually-burning-angels. In most religions/mythologies across the planet we have 7-headed-figures (Satan, Hydra, Ananta-Shesha, Mucalinda, Chicomocoatl) and we have human-lion-eagle-ox figures (Cherubim, Apkallu, Sphinx, Kamedhenu) ... but it's only the sphinx in Egypt where we see the two forms merged together in a human-lion that has a cobra hood.
Satan a fallen angel Which have the ability to transform themselves in to an angel of light , walked in the garden upright Played pipes . Arrayed in precious stones
“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” Genesis 3:1 KJV The Serpent (Seraphim aka angelic being) was more wiser, cunning, crafty, than any beast of the field….. So he wasn’t referred to as being a beast; but basically the statement is Satan’s or craftiness or wisdom was being compared to the beast of the field and how they function… does that explain your question? Or it could be said like this Satan was more crafty than any wild beast of the field…. Hope that helped I know it can be confusing and frustrating
Wes, it's inescapable the entity that deceived Eve was **not** a snake because the literal snake-ness, if any, was imparted to that being AFTER God cursed it, not before. So even if satan became like a literal snake, he wasn't a literal snake when he was speaking to Eve. Since the Lord walked in the garden, most likely other beings did also, at least this one, in mostly human form.
It truly bothers me when people say the Bible wasn't written to us. Think about what you're really saying. If it wasn't written to us why was Holy Spirit given to us so we could understand the mystery? All of Scripture was written to US for US . 1 Corinthians 2. I believe the scriptures are the very mind of Christ.
Sometimes you can’t see the forest because of the tree Why people complicate things? It is very simple. Read revelation 20: 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
I noticed in the wording of Genesis 3, God calls Adam [Man] 'dust'. "For DUST you are, and to DUST you shall return." When He address the serpent, God says, "You will crawl on your belly, and you will EAT DUST all the days of your life." Is there a parallel or metaphor here between 'dust' and 'man'?
Seemed like there was an obvious connection, so I asked ChatGPT since I am no Bible scholar. Take it for what it is, not the gospel truth. But I do like its answer, part of which was this: "If dust symbolizes human mortality, then the serpent "eating dust" might signify its targeting of humans, exploiting their vulnerabilities and mortality. In a broader sense, the serpent’s punishment of consuming dust may metaphorically reflect its ultimate failure and futility-no matter its attempts to corrupt mankind, it is tied to a life of defeat." BTW, my prompt was your exact comment, word for word.
Thanks for your comment! I was just being rhetorical.. 😅 It was something that hit me one night when I was pondering the language in Genesis. It's a simple but sophisticated language, kinda poetic. @@MasqueradeCrew
There is some interesting information here and possibly a viable theory. It could certainly be a more robust study. Isaiah describes seraphim as having hands and feet (which snakes do not), however Revelation refers to Satan as the dragon and as a serpent, so it seems there is some association with him and snake-like qualities, perhaps beyond metaphor. There is also the fact that other angels are described with animal features. Touching on the subject of serpent and animal worship in other ancient religions, I've rethought the genesis (no pun intended) of many religions being almost completely ficticious and baseless. A few years ago I began to believe that there could be more to it, that demons presented themselves as gods and this served as the basis for many pagan religions (basically the ancient astronaut theory but replacing "aliens" with demons ). An interesting subject for sure.

It was a serpent. They WALKED. They then were cursed. They allowed satan to use them.
Hey I believe In Genesis 3:14-15 The Serpent is Satan but not as an actual serpentine creature but as his character and the part of the animal kingdom he represent. You see in the Garden their is not one talking animal, Adam named all the animals. So when the snake would have spoken when no other animal spoke would not have been advantageous to Satan. God addressed the serpent as singular so its not all serpents just one. He is directly talking to Satan. In Gen 3:5 Satan says your eyes will be, as gods, not like gods he was referencing the angelic host. And since Satan is not an angel but cherubim and each cherub represents a part of Gods creation which is calf= cattle or grass eaters, lion= the beast, eagle=the fowl of the air, Man= mankind, OX= which would represent the aquatic and insects and reptiles it’s the reason we get God calling him belezbub and leviathan, but in the Garden Satan was in his true form because their was no need to change it at that time. He was an OX with six wings and eyes all over is wings and he had man hands and hoofed feet. Basically the picture of the baphomet is pretty close depiction of Satan just missing the pipes and precious stones. Also since he was the anointed cherub that coverth it’s the reason why God said you will be below all the other animals or in this case below the other cherubs since he was above them reflect the glory of god on to the angelic host. So from the text I believe Satan the anointed cherub was in front of eve in is real form which god calls Satan the most beautiful out of all of creation. What better way than to temp eve into trusting him and to eat from the tree. So in the end my conclusion is Eve didn’t not speak to a snake but to the cherub who represents the aquatic animal kingdom and which is also is his characteristic.
@ChristianRebel Thank you the Bible as so much to teach us especially the deep doctrine. This not just from reading but being taught and it being revealed by God I thank the Holy Sprite for the knowledge again I should add more verse to back my claim I just hate typing on my phone but thank you for the for the kind words and be sure to check the scripture to make sure I’m telling the truth.
The Bible never says that the serpent is Satan. Moreover, the serpent never lied to Adam and Eve - it was Yahweh who lied about the fruit killing them to keep them from gaining self-awareness, and he then cursed them and all humanity. Yahweh is not God the Father, and the serpent is not Satan.
An interesting observation - Yahweh told Adam and Eve if they ate of the fruit from the tree of knowledge they would surely die. The serpent told them they would not die. Which one told the truth, and which one lied? They didn’t “surely die” when they ate of the fruit. In fact, Adam lived a long time afterwards. It wasn’t the fruit from the tree of knowledge that killed them, it was the fact that they were separated from access to the tree of life - and Yahweh removed the access. Read the Old Testament with the knowledge that Yahweh is satan and it will make a whole lot more sense. The scales will drop from your eyes.

Dr Heiser is the GOAT
I stumbled across your channel and now I'm hooked!! VERY INSIGHTFUL!!! This channel WILL EXPLODE with subs! ...I called it! LOL
U actually called it
You sure did 😊
@@ATMrantsyes, yes he did...
Thank you for exposing Billy Carson, so many people were blinded by him.. that's the problem with this world so many people out there looking for an excuse to believe in another God it takes a genius to remind people of histories and proper facts and knowledge and Truth... Again I say to you thank you
Just discovered this guy a few minutes ago and he says almost word for word things Michael Heiser would say. Very pleased with this.
I was gonna say, he should poke around the DCW folks it'd be cool to see him in the community :)
Ditto! Praise God!
love your stuff. you got to debate the atheist Alex Oconner. I would love to see that.
I would mostly agree but there is one particular verse in Is. 65:25 I think you would find to be on interest. In the new earth it describes the serpents eating dust along with the lions eating straw.
If this is an account as old as Adam, the Serpent is not necessarily figuratively named after snakes but snakes later may very well have been figuratively named after the nature and account of mankind’s oldest and most famous enemy.
Just subscribed! GOD Bless you! 🙏 Will share this video with my church family, Christian brethren & family.
I am a new subscriber since your debate with Carson….
The late Michael heiser talked a lot about this subject (the Nacash)
New subscriber since the debate with Billy Carson. Thank you for these great videos.
Yes indeed!!! I am about to subscribe now. Thank you for allowing God to use you for his glory and to EXPOSE THE FALSE PROPHET &!LIAR🙏🏽♥️🔥 HE WAS LEADING MANY TO HELL, but NOT ANYMORE.
who or what made that serpent appear to talk? The people of ancient Israel knew of other factors that shed much light on the role of that snake. For example, they knew that although animals do not talk, a spirit person can make an animal appear to speak. Moses also wrote the account about Balaam; God sent an angel to make Balaam’s donkey talk like a man.-Numbers 22:26-31; 2 Peter 2:15, 16. Can other spirits, including those who are God’s enemies, perform miracles? Moses had seen the magic-practicing priests of Egypt duplicate some of God’s miracles, such as making a staff appear to turn into a snake. The power to perform feats like that could come only from God’s enemies in the spirit realm.-Exodus 7:8-12. Evidently Moses was also the inspired writer of the book of Job. That book taught much about God’s chief enemy, Satan, who lyingly challenged the integrity of all of Jehovah’s servants. (Job 1:6-11; 2:4, 5) Did the Israelites of old thus reason that Satan had manipulated the serpent in Eden, making it appear to talk and deceive Eve into breaking her integrity to God? It seems likely. Was Satan the force behind the serpent? Jesus later referred to Satan as “a liar and the father of the lie.” (John 8:44) “The father of the lie” would be the author of the first lie ever told, would he not? The first lie is found in the serpent’s words to Eve. Contradicting God’s warning that eating the forbidden fruit would end in death, the serpent said: “You positively will not die.” (Genesis 3:4) Clearly, Jesus knew that Satan had manipulated the serpent. The Revelation that Jesus gave to the apostle John settles the matter, calling Satan “the original serpent.”-Revelation 1:1; 12:9. Is it really far-fetched to believe that a powerful spirit person could manipulate a serpent, making it appear to talk? Even humans, though far less powerful than spirits, can perform baffling tricks of ventriloquism and create convincing special effects.
I'm not sure why you're so adamant about this but check Genesis 3:1
All the beasts could speak back then. The “serpent” was more like an Asian dragons. Floating tiny legs, same thing America is named after. Land of the feathered of plumber serpent is what America means. They used to call it quizictol or however you spell it. Same serpent that washed up on shores of India and has been worshipped ever since as Kundalini.
Earth was very different back then, many creatures we call myths today.
@@codymadison9993 Sounds plausible . The Serpent was more like a Dragon , which Satan is referred to as both .? I think I read somewhere in a extra Biblical book that the animals could talk before the Fall or the Flood . Might have been Jasher , maybe Jubilees or the book of Noah ?
The snake is the character of this spiritual creature it can also be in us, most of the Word is trying to teach us our mindset and behavior and Praise God !!🙌🏾Jesus taught us how to live it❤🙏🏾💪🏾
You say the serpent was "The author of the first lie ever told"..... reading the Bible again, it appears that the Serpent did not lie. Adam and Eve did not die on the day they ate the fruit.
I recently got Dr. Heisler book, and only about 1/3 of the way through. Its incredible and its making rethink some stuff
I think Adam and Eve could talk with the animals. People have been able to work out that certain sounds of cats have meaning and are able to use the sounds correctly. Also cats and dogs can use buttons to communicate with their owners.
3 John 2 KJV
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
It's very important to understand first that there is not just one satan in reality. And satan is a hebrew word that simply means "[to] rebel/go against." And we've seen this context being displayed from both the old and new testament timelines.
Thank you and God bless you
Thank you so much, Wes!! Btw, on a very superficial level, I like the red lights! Many RUclipsrs have blue, but the red is great!
From the book of jubilees
And on that day was closed the mouth of all beasts, and of cattle, and of birds, and of whatsoever walks, and of whatsoever moves, so that they could no longer speak: for they had all spoken one with another with one lip and with one tongue. And he sent out of the Garden of Eden all flesh that was in the Garden of Eden, and all flesh was scattered according to its kinds, and according to its types unto the places which had been created for them. YOVHELIYM (JUBILEES) 3:29-30 את CEPHER
Glad Ruslan highlighted you. Interesting answer.
You can go the route of “shinning one” if u want, but then you have to use that consistently when God calls him a dragon, sea serpent, viper, flying serpent, along with all of his followers being vipers.
Satan is likely “the snake” the same way Jesus is “the Lamb” seen in revelation.
So grateful that I found you, even if it was BillyCarson.😮
Ancient forbidden wisdom and craftiness. Great description.
Native American here & Christian, something scholars always leave out is the "Spirit World" and "Visions" because they cannot recreate such a thing or study it, the Feathered Serpent and Thunderbird is real and the same thing as the Lightning from the Heavens Jesus saw. But you will have to die temporarily to see it & the same thing goes for Jesus, if you die you got a 50/50 chance to see one or the other depending on your deeds and ways.
Love your videos my brother in CHRIST
New subscriber, Praise Jesus! and a special thanks to billy carson for confirming a lot.
God used Billy to bring us to this wonderful channel to gain more knowledge
That's a pretty cool way to look at it I suppose.
It was a method to talk about the yetzer hara. Adam is called “dust” and the serpent is made to eat the dust. The yetzer hara causes one to act like an animal in its instinct of survival and even lower than all animals in some cases. All sin can trace its roots to giving one’s self to this serpent also called “the flesh aka the sinful nature aka the devil.
A serpent may have been crawling on the tree and cause Chava to question what she was told: “not to touch it” and thought it would lead to death. But if a snake can do these things, why not her? She desired to be an Elohim and know all things.
The battle between seed could be understood as the inner turmoil battling the yetzer hara and the yetzer hatov.
A lot of unknowns about this section of scripture.
Since there were no chapter breaks in the original manuscripts, chapter 13:1 of Isaiah gives us context of who is being referred to in 14:12; the king of Babylon
Yes but the king of Babylon was also a principality
@@joshuascott3428Agreed, but one only needs to read Isaiah 1:1 to be able to take into account the time that Isaiah lived and prophesied. It’s the literal king of Babylon being prophesied about

Ezekiel 28:13-15 KJV
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. [14] Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. [15] Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
God bless in the name of the Lord Jesus
I have a special request for future videos.
1. I read some (most) of the book of Adam and Eve. Could you talk about this book like you have talked about with the others? Origins, author(s), parallels, etc. Thanks!
2) Also, the story of Sampson and the other Judges. Sampson always read to my heart as I struggled with similarities and it always fascinated me that these Judges seemed more than just a normal humans. If you can just expand on it the story and the origins and maybe any hidden parallels that I may have missed in my Bible studies would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, @Wes Huff!
Literally and figuratively, I like it! Thanks for taking the time to unpack this.
I'm going to start calling bro Chef Wesley bc he's cooking Billy Carson all over the internet lmao
Not really
Great work Wes God bless you.
I read a book once by Kurt Wise (the paleontologist and Harvard professor / Christian and study of literature). Who stated that the word used in the Bible with a belly, dragging stride. That we don’t know if we’re even talking about a snake, but could almost be any other reptile
Ruskin brought me to your videos and am happy for it
It stands to reason that the serpent wasn't a snake in the sense that we know snakes. I don't think God cursed a snake to crawl on its belly if it already crawled on its belly. Therefore, the serpent must have been in a different form. Nor is it figurative language since the events of the Fall are literal. Satan could also have been possessing or influencing the serpent since we see Satan elsewhere in scripture, not in the form of a snake.
the thing is that scientists have found that there are little stubs on the snake that could've once been legs which checks out
There is a belief that snakes had wings and could fly. In one ancient text it refers to flying fiery serpents. It sounds as if God punished the serpent for allowing itself to be used for evil and was cursed to crawl instead of fly.
It was a reptilian, that's why. Anunaki reptilian.
@yourtube540 i believe you're referring to seraphim. So, you could be right.
@@anixu8249just say fallen angel. That's what the annunaki were.
Also Angel in the parts of the Bible have animal heads just like Egyptian gods.
"Each of the cherubim had four faces: One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle."
Thank you for that lair who introduced me to such an amazing brother.
Maby is out of topic, but I wander: If God is all powerful and all knowing, consequently he knew what was going to happen! Actually, he created it to be that way!?
He created us with Free Will, which involves a risk that the creation is going to choose to go the opposite way intended. Of course, God knew humans would fall into sin. And He had the plan of a way back to Him even before He created the world. It's all in the Hebrew language, the pure language. Pastor Mark Biltz explains.
@@sigalsmadar4547so you create something Knowing what they were going to do and you call that giving them Free Will ❓

Hiya Wes! You're the one who took down the old mocker. I learned of Billy Carson back in summer of '17. He spoke about aliens and crazy scientific finds. I'm a fan of the supernatural you know.
When he kept talking about Jesus like a no good joker. I was offended. Nothing he said waiverd my faith in Christ, it's apart of me now and before I remembered.
Hi Wes.. could the interpretation be for both a literal snake and also a descriptive narrative of what would happen to the evil one? The reason why i ask is that the scripture described the serpent as being craftier than all the other animals. Angels are created beings and were never described as animals, so im curious. Also, i love your content. i pray you continue to do the work of the Lord. I am learning so much and have invited others to subscribe to your page to deepen their knowledge of the Lord
Good stuff Wes. Keep it up.
The snake has always been a symbol of human wisdom (as opposed, I presume, to wisdom that is divine). Also don't know if it was meant to convey anything but always thought it was curious that Eve was said to be composed from a rib of Adam, while a snake is almost exclusively rib.
As the Bible says in James 3:13-17: Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
Yo Wes, a debate with you and Bart Ehrman would be fire. James White was not really able to refute him and became angry at him hh. But maby you could continue to talk about the points they disagreed on. ;)
Most people need real bible studies to unlearn a lot of bible false narratives, humble yourself and be teachable, like the bible says study to show yourself approved onto God. There’s a saying let the bible interpret the bible. 🙏🏾 Wes keep teaching the truth bless you.
Satan USED the serpent just like he USED Judas...it was a literal snake with legs; just like a lizard or alligator: but God took the serpents legs for it's participation in the deception of Woman....Not Everything is symbolic in the bible only. Moses knew what he was saying...
Yes, but do WE know what Moses was saying? What if what we think it says, isn’t really what the author meant to say at all?
Wes wasn’t arguing for a merely symbolic view. Based on what he said, the serpent was a real being, but described in a way that describes its title or nature, not just its physical appearance. I think Wes agrees more with you than you might realize.
@isaiahpohle848 well Woman had a talk with the serpent...she was punished for Listening to it and it was punished for decieving her. The Text is Acurate. And Satan is a Cherub But he used the Serpent and He himself is called THAT OLD SERPENT THE DEVIL..
God conceals the truth from the scholars and the intellectuals but reveals it to little children. Because our brains are flesh and the word of God is Spirit.
@TheFightingSheep those who have the Holy Spirit and keep searching get revealed his mysteries
@philisii Yes! The Holy Spirit fills the empty vessels. Those who deny themselves, and empty themselves of their own spirits. Stay humble, obedient and simple like a little child.
2 Corinthians 11:3 KJV - 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.
Had only seen a small amount of your content before watching you destroy Billy Carson , now I'm binge watching you like crazy ! Amen , brother ! Spread His Holy name ! Jesus Christ is KING of King's!
No, no he was not and is not a talking snake, a half goat man with horns, or any other conjuring of foolish man. Satan if referring to Lucifer, not simply referring to accuser or liar, is BEAUTIFUL. He’s one of the most beautiful creations in all of creation seen or unseen. Mortal men would most likely bow down to worship him if he had his illustrious being unveiled to us. This is why only God the creator and his faithful can deal with Satan/Lucifer. Isaiah 14:12
Good stuff bro!
Dang Wes got 100k subs in a few weeks! Glory to the true and living God!
It's interesting Mr.Hoff says to look how these early first Believers took the information to mean when none of them thought the trinity was even a thing at the time , only starting to coalesce 200 years or more later , after christ , for example.
False, there are several instances of the triune being explained in the old testament. Gotta actually read to learn that though, I suppose you havent had a youtube video to watch and explain that to you before.
@@legends_of_the_voidSo you're assuming that i'm ignorant and I haven't already looked, show me where it is that you are referring to and we can discuss it.
@@legends_of_the_void If that's the case, name one instance in the Old Testament and we can discuss it. I don't believe that these so-called examples actually do in either the new or the old. So what do you have in mind?Let's have a chat.
@@leecooper3852 Let US make man in OUR likeness. You don't even have to go far to find a plural. Angels didn't help God make man which is confirmed in later scripture. Probably also say that the Son is never mentioned in the Old testament, try Proverbs 30 verses 3-4. There are many many instances of the singular God being referred as a plural noun and in Hebrew to have a plural you need at least 3. Please stop telling lies.
Satan was in the garden of eden “You were in Eden, the garden of God” (Ezek. 28:13)
I'm 3 years late... but just wondering what the Greek word ὄφις adds to this conversation when referring to Satan as that ancient serpent in Rev. 20:2. Does that change the perspective at all?
I think it was even triple entendre as not only it means shining or brightness and serpent but also wise.
I still don’t understand what the snake has to with the devil , did snakes at one point walk and talk , and the curse was they shall
Now crawl ? Why a snake , why not a cow ? Why was the snake in the garden of Eden , why was satan in the garden of Eden . And why have a forbidden tree growing there . I ask as a believer ,
The tree could of been a metaphor. We see this all over scripture.
How does this relate to the serpents in Exodus and the bronze serpent on the pole?
Mark 14:51-52
Great stuff. So many well meaning believers fail to properly exegete passages like this. That often leads to lots of wacky views that really dull the theology the bible is trying to present. A friend at our little bible study asked "why did God say have no other gods before me if there aren't any?" I responded "that would make as much sense to curse a snake to the ground where it already lived."
The serpent in the garden said to Eve if you eat it you would not surely die. But the Lord God said to Adam if you eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you will die. So who lied the serpent or Lord God? And what kind of God curses?
Well done!!!! For us, not to us!!
Hey everyone,just listen to Wes since he beat Billy Carson in a debate. God spoke in a way that only Wes can understand it,from Wes perspective,and what makes the most sense to him.
Wes reminds me of a young Michael Heiser 💪
Spiritual beings can make themselves seen in our physical world, similar to angels in the Bible or even the Holy Spirit which looked like a dove descending upon Jesus when baptized. Thus, there is good reason to believe Satan (also a spiritual being, though fallen) did the same in Genesis
Serpent worship is all over and throughout the ancient world it's quite compelling and unsettling , I always thought the snake could fly before the Lord cursed it because God usually does the opposite , for example "the Lord takes no pleasure in punishing the wicked " so the opposite indicates God 🙏 would prefer to bless those who turn away from wickedness by turning to him . Also even the word America means land of the "plumed serpent " .....The ancient world had predilection for Cows and Snakes it seems
The Bible is so multifaceted multi layered We can’t even comprehend all of it because we’re not smart enough. I do pray that God allows those fall upon his name and do his well to be able to discern whether or not someone will align with God‘s will.
@ oh thank you for educating me
Wes can you tell us about the additional books the Catholic Bible uses?
Is satan and lucifer the same? Lucifer is said to be a cherubim in Ezek.28:14, i.e. a human-lion-eagle-ox angel. Satan is said to be a 7-headed-serpent-angel in Revelation 12:3 ... which I'm not sure are given a label explicitly in the Bible, though I am of the theory that, courtesy of the word "seraph" relation to serpents, and of the menorah design, that "seraphim" could have been 7-headed-angels instead of the Orthodox/Muslim version of perpetually-burning-angels.
In most religions/mythologies across the planet we have 7-headed-figures (Satan, Hydra, Ananta-Shesha, Mucalinda, Chicomocoatl) and we have human-lion-eagle-ox figures (Cherubim, Apkallu, Sphinx, Kamedhenu) ... but it's only the sphinx in Egypt where we see the two forms merged together in a human-lion that has a cobra hood.
Satan a fallen angel
Which have the ability to transform themselves in to an angel of light , walked in the garden upright
Played pipes . Arrayed in precious stones
Can you explain why the “snake” was referred to as a beast then?
Was it?.. 🤔
“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”
Genesis 3:1 KJV
The Serpent (Seraphim aka angelic being) was more wiser, cunning, crafty, than any beast of the field…..
So he wasn’t referred to as being a beast; but basically the statement is Satan’s or craftiness or wisdom was being compared to the beast of the field and how they function… does that explain your question?
Or it could be said like this Satan was more crafty than any wild beast of the field…. Hope that helped I know it can be confusing and frustrating
The bible was wriien for us but not to us. Finally some common sense.
Hi Wes, i would love to hear what you think of dragons or dinosaurs in the bible.
Hey wait a minute. Why is Jesus also referred to as the Morning Star in Revelation 22:16? Are Jesus and Lucifer the same person? Hmmm.......
Because the NIV is a terrible translation from ancient Aramiac and Hebrew to modern English.
I believe the talking snakes, parting the sea, and the burning bush.
I believe the Bible 100%.
Hey Wes, would you say then that "The beasts of the field" would represent all sentient beings? Physical and non-physical?
Please, please check the ads that you allow on your channel!
Wes, it's inescapable the entity that deceived Eve was **not** a snake because the literal snake-ness, if any, was imparted to that being AFTER God cursed it, not before.
So even if satan became like a literal snake, he wasn't a literal snake when he was speaking to Eve.
Since the Lord walked in the garden, most likely other beings did also, at least this one, in mostly human form.
It truly bothers me when people say the Bible wasn't written to us. Think about what you're really saying. If it wasn't written to us why was Holy Spirit given to us so we could understand the mystery? All of Scripture was written to US for US . 1 Corinthians 2.
I believe the scriptures are the very mind of Christ.
There is some evidence of some snakes previously having appendages.
What?!
You mean dragons
Mr.Wesley will huff and he'll puff and he'll blowwwww away the billy carsons of our day!!
Sometimes you can’t see the forest because of the tree
Why people complicate things?
It is very simple. Read revelation 20: 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
My guess is that the serpent originally did have wings, but the punishment of God made the serpent crawl instead of fly.
thanks lot for billy for introducing wes
I noticed in the wording of Genesis 3, God calls Adam [Man] 'dust'. "For DUST you are, and to DUST you shall return."
When He address the serpent, God says, "You will crawl on your belly, and you will EAT DUST all the days of your life."
Is there a parallel or metaphor here between 'dust' and 'man'?
Seemed like there was an obvious connection, so I asked ChatGPT since I am no Bible scholar. Take it for what it is, not the gospel truth. But I do like its answer, part of which was this:
"If dust symbolizes human mortality, then the serpent "eating dust" might signify its targeting of humans, exploiting their vulnerabilities and mortality. In a broader sense, the serpent’s punishment of consuming dust may metaphorically reflect its ultimate failure and futility-no matter its attempts to corrupt mankind, it is tied to a life of defeat."
BTW, my prompt was your exact comment, word for word.
Thanks for your comment! I was just being rhetorical.. 😅
It was something that hit me one night when I was pondering the language in Genesis. It's a simple but sophisticated language, kinda poetic. @@MasqueradeCrew
Sorry, Did I missed the answer?
Yes, at 5:18
This guy never gets to the point. Lol
So pretty much it’s symbolic but take it literally lol what a crack up
The passage in Isaiah is referring to Nebuchadnezzar, so it’s possible the snake is Satan or just something different entirely
There is some interesting information here and possibly a viable theory. It could certainly be a more robust study. Isaiah describes seraphim as having hands and feet (which snakes do not), however Revelation refers to Satan as the dragon and as a serpent, so it seems there is some association with him and snake-like qualities, perhaps beyond metaphor. There is also the fact that other angels are described with animal features.
Touching on the subject of serpent and animal worship in other ancient religions, I've rethought the genesis (no pun intended) of many religions being almost completely ficticious and baseless. A few years ago I began to believe that there could be more to it, that demons presented themselves as gods and this served as the basis for many pagan religions (basically the ancient astronaut theory but replacing "aliens" with demons ). An interesting subject for sure.
It was a serpent. They WALKED. They then were cursed. They allowed satan to use them.
Hey I believe In Genesis 3:14-15 The Serpent is Satan but not as an actual serpentine creature but as his character and the part of the animal kingdom he represent. You see in the Garden their is not one talking animal, Adam named all the animals. So when the snake would have spoken when no other animal spoke would not have been advantageous to Satan. God addressed the serpent as singular so its not all serpents just one. He is directly talking to Satan. In Gen 3:5 Satan says your eyes will be, as gods, not like gods he was referencing the angelic host. And since Satan is not an angel but cherubim and each cherub represents a part of Gods creation which is calf= cattle or grass eaters, lion= the beast, eagle=the fowl of the air, Man= mankind, OX= which would represent the aquatic and insects and reptiles it’s the reason we get God calling him belezbub and leviathan, but in the Garden Satan was in his true form because their was no need to change it at that time. He was an OX with six wings and eyes all over is wings and he had man hands and hoofed feet. Basically the picture of the baphomet is pretty close depiction of Satan just missing the pipes and precious stones. Also since he was the anointed cherub that coverth it’s the reason why God said you will be below all the other animals or in this case below the other cherubs since he was above them reflect the glory of god on to the angelic host. So from the text I believe Satan the anointed cherub was in front of eve in is real form which god calls Satan the most beautiful out of all of creation. What better way than to temp eve into trusting him and to eat from the tree. So in the end my conclusion is Eve didn’t not speak to a snake but to the cherub who represents the aquatic animal kingdom and which is also is his characteristic.
Brilliant breakdown.
@ChristianRebel Thank you the Bible as so much to teach us especially the deep doctrine. This not just from reading but being taught and it being revealed by God I thank the Holy Sprite for the knowledge again I should add more verse to back my claim I just hate typing on my phone but thank you for the for the kind words and be sure to check the scripture to make sure I’m telling the truth.
@@jeremiahh.3383 Thank you so much.
Not super related but I think my snake just squeaked and it was adorable
The Bible never says that the serpent is Satan. Moreover, the serpent never lied to Adam and Eve - it was Yahweh who lied about the fruit killing them to keep them from gaining self-awareness, and he then cursed them and all humanity. Yahweh is not God the Father, and the serpent is not Satan.
An interesting observation - Yahweh told Adam and Eve if they ate of the fruit from the tree of knowledge they would surely die. The serpent told them they would not die. Which one told the truth, and which one lied? They didn’t “surely die” when they ate of the fruit. In fact, Adam lived a long time afterwards. It wasn’t the fruit from the tree of knowledge that killed them, it was the fact that they were separated from access to the tree of life - and Yahweh removed the access. Read the Old Testament with the knowledge that Yahweh is satan and it will make a whole lot more sense. The scales will drop from your eyes.
