The true teaching of the Bible is very rare these days. God has used technology and the internet and RUclips to bolster his preaching. Anyone can learn from the comfort of their own home or if they're old and rather disabled like me. It is quite a blessing to be able to learn like this even in old age. Thanks so much.
Something to keep in mind, Moses (the author of Genesis) was Egyptian. Raised as a prince of Egypt, he'd have been educated in all Egyptian beliefs and taught hieroglyphics, etc. The Hebrew people he was writing to, were also Egyptian and had incorporated many of their beliefs into their own and worshiped their gods. They likely would have understood references to Egyptian ideologies and symbolisms. It would make sense that the connection between Genesis iconography and Egyptian culture would be very strong and would have been a common frame of reference when Moses wrote to the Hebrews to explain complicated topics, theologies and beings.
It however has to be remembered that according to the Supplementative hypothesis (the most plausible one for Christians), some parts of the Pentateuch were probably added after Moses. There were also originally two Mosaic writings: the general writings written during his life, and the Book of Law, uncompleted by his death, which contained the core of Deuteronomy and some later writings from the time of Joshua.
There is no (extra-Biblical, archeological) evidence to support any of this. There is no evidence of Moses in Egypt, no evidence he was raised as a prince, etc.
This was great! I am a VFX/digital media artist and have Christian projects in the works. I have been researching everything put out by Dr. Heiser and other writers (Gilbert, Peck, Gallops, etc.).

As a child i use to pray a lot and give thanks every night and one night, as i was praying, i mentioned the idea of a divine council in my prayer. It was something profound because i wasnt even sure whay council meant exactly i even asked my brother about it and told him about this divine council
When you kept memtioning Egyptians...i understood....the devil appears as an angel of light, its obvious he appeared to them as seraphim hence, the shiny winged serpent on every pharaoh and every noble and men of renown. The Egyptians fell hard for it, sorcery, magic, they paid hard for it as well. May our lives matter before The GOD-HEAD, may our discerning minds and hearts be sharper with the help of The Holy Spirit, mayThey keep us in Their Shekinah now and forevermore, in The name that is above every name, JESUS The CHRIST, our LORD amen.
So the hebrews and the Egyptians history is not as we are told there is Egyptian records of a king who made all of egypt warship 1 god called yaw that king was Akhenaten aka moses

@@StargateStarling Noooo, Satan is actually a Cherub!!! Ezekiel 28:12-19 KJV Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 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. 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. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

The only thing I hate about your videos is that they end. Terrific quality, love your voice, keep up with the good work brother. Although I do not particularly agree with Heiser's theology it's always good to hear his points
I read (from a different source) that the Trees in Eden were a type symbology of the angels, which would reinforce the idea of Eve being comfortable speaking with a divine creature without fear, thus making it that much easier to deceive her. Good teaching!
Moses most likely didn’t write Genesis. It’s widely agreed that several authors wrote Genesis. You’ll even notice IP sometimes refer to “the authors(plural) of Genesis” throughout his videos. We know this because the syntax of Genesis changes back and forth a lot.
@disguisedcentennial835 For an excellent apologetic documentary providing evidence for Moses as the writer of Genesis view The Patterns of Evidence film "The Moses Controversy". I do think that Moses drew from a pre-existing oral tradition about Genesis. But given his education in the Egyptian court he would have (under the influence of the Holy Spirit) been able to put it into a written form for the Hebrews. The invention of writing is only around 5000 years old.
Well done with the background music. Remember watching some of your videos way back that felt like the background noise was competing to much with your voice. This one worked perfectly.
Nice way to dismiss people not everybody has the time to sit around and make a video but they do have the time to notice when things that they see are not exactly correct dr. John Walton has been criticized by many a scholar, [Dr. Noel Weeks, Dr. Richard Averbeck, etc.] to name just a few and yet inspiringphilosophy continues to quote him without quoting and referring to those that take to task Walton's interpretations of scripture. Dr. Noel Weeks, once Senior Lecturer of Ancient History at the University of Sydney, critiquing Dr. Walton’s take on Ancient Near Eastern texts: “In summary I am not impressed by the whole approach…. There is no recognition of the difficulty of discerning a uniform mind of the ANE. Individual extra-biblical texts are turned into representations of the whole huge chronological and cultural span. Even more striking are claims that are simply false.”[7] Dr. Richard Averbeck, professor of Old Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, “The point is that material creation was of great concern in the ANE as well as in ancient Israel.”[8]
Yes I can make my own video. I can also make my own comments in the comment section that disagree with this video.

Nicholas Perkins I understand the dichotomy of light and dark + the subsequent applications to good and evil. However, a shadow has been reified ...it is nothing in principle (only attribution). Gonna wanna go back to the books on EM ... which is the coaxial longitudinal pulse perturbation that is light ...the magnetodielectric governs all and all is light (ie. Illumination) A black hole is neither black nor is it a hole. It’s a sink into counterspace... ie. Inertial centripetal convergence (inertia in acceleration) Magnetism is the opposite via force in motion vector ...centrifugal divergence The two are necessitated and they form the hypertrochoid (inverse throw of a sphere/torus is the hyperboloid counterspatial vector...it’s necessitatively so and it’s all a geometrical as above so below illusion of polarity)

Notice how Quetzalcoatl represents a serpent with feathers. The Seraphs are also feathered cobra-esque divine beings that emits an energy similar to a sun with an exception of having plentiful eyes like a peacock. Now my headcanon is Quetzalcoatl was likely a fallen Seraph.
@@itstoughtobehumaninaworldv1872 weren't the Giants of Andine myths half-mortal children of Quetzalcoatl, who were wiped out in a flood due to their conduct? This would align with the North American accounts and the story of The Book of Enoch.
My friend that was a well done and edifying video. I have never understood the serpentine connection to Lucifer until now. It is starting to make a lot of sense now, which to me proves the validity. Thank you.
Problem is that during the time of Eve in the Garden, Lucifer had not fallen. Who was God talking to in the book of Job? If Lucifer had fallen, he could not stand before God, nor the other “Sons of God”!
@@lawrenceturner7695 did GOD call the sons of God & Lucifer to stand before Him? They certainly could not have just came before GOD on their own, they must have been summoned.
Does theology teach you the fruit in The Garden was no ordinary apple? That made our Mother, the Mother of All, Eve, feel naked? That maybe it were more like strawberries and whipped cream?

Jesus could not crush his own head. That's because the allegorical figure called 'Jesus' is actually the 'serpent'. The enemy is the character called 'Lord God' in the garden of eden myth/allegory/story.
@@mexican-americanmale3035 if the fruit actually gives us knowledge of good and evil and hence discernment, then the serpent is not bad but if the forbidden fruit refers to meat (animal flesh) then the serpent is an enemy. The reason I think its meat is because in Gen 1:29, the diet God gave humans did not include meat. If both creation stories are consistent, then the forbidden fruit is meat. When Eve (women) feed Adam (men) food that has meat, the resultant is the punishment that 'men' shall rule over 'women'. This dominion of men over women would totally come to an end when women stop feeding their husbands meat (forbidden fruit). That's one way I look at the Adam and Eve allegory.
I like that you mention that Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 are talking about earthly Kings but in such a way that harkens back to a rebellious divine being instead of asserting that the authors change topics in the mid monologue as I usually hear. This makes a lot more sense.
I just love your videos. They are so informative and well made. I get excited when I see a new one posted. You are right up there with my three favs- Heiser, Walton and Viola.
Great video!! Hopefully we get to learn more about the Divine council. It seems that so the world's mythologies are just telling us about the truths as taught by their gods (former council members) that divided the world while God took a little insignificant Nation and turn them into his chosen people that have survived over the millennia.
That council from Psalm 82 is actually the Watchers and God having a last word with them before binding them up in everlasting chains until the day of Judgment.

There is more Babylonian influence in Genesis than Egyptian, which suggests that maybe Moses didn't write the version of the book of Genesis we have in the bible, but that it was written during Israel's exile to Babylon. Either way, that doesn't remove the fact that it is the inspired word of God.
@@danxmontiel777 that's backwards. The Israelites are descendants of who? Abraham. Where was Abraham from? Mesopotamia, North or sumer. Abraham and Babylon were both inheritors of the same traditions. Babylon didn't invent much of their own culture, but they updated the culture they inherited from ancient Sumeria by way of the Akadians. So Israelites culture was monotheistically reinterpreted Mesopotamian culture, imported into cannan for a few generations, but then moved to Egypt for nearly 400 years. So the Torah should be expected to reflect aspects of ancient Mesopotamian culture, Egyptian culture, and novelties defined in terms of backslashes against both. To a less obvious extent there's a lot if cannanite culture there as well, as Michael Heiser points out, in reactions to the Ba'al cycle myths in Cannan. The later writings incorporate aspects of Persian culture as well, then later, in the intertestamental period and the first century: aspects of hellenisation on one hand, and rejection of hellenisatiom on the other hand.
Uh ... There was not a place called Egypt during this time frame. The entire middle east was called Alkebulan . Egypt came after the mass exodus and the land was divided by the invaders of evil. The leader of these killers out of Europe was Afrikanus and this is who gave the contenants it's name from Alkebulan. Wevall have been fooled enough to remove the black people that ruled the entire area by 18 dynastic Kings and Queens , they only tell you about one , King Tut.
@UCMoYVjFH7JIlphcgjzGritQ @actuary1776 ...other than the clear editorial parentheticals (often attributed to ezra or one of his scribes) there's no evidence he didn't write it. The advent of the documentary hypothesis got going because of the early 19th century ivory tower belief Moses couldn't have written the Torah since he was undoubtedly illiterate. They unanimously believed this because at the time it was popularly assumed the Egyptians didn't have an actual written language because no one had discovered the Rosetta Stone yet. And since there were no ancient examples of Hebrew, the cynics just declared Moses illiterate. Thus they had to rationalize how the stories came together from multiple sources much later, so they looked for clues to discover this and they fixated of the use of different names for God and assumed they come from different authors. With modern scholarship exploding all of the mental gymnastics that made the JEPD documentary hypothesis seem plausible, there's now no reason not to attribute the Torah to Moses, or a scribe in his service. In Jewish tradition they're called the books of Moses.
@@NOTTHASAME nothing you just said lines up with historical academic archaeology. Egypt goes back almost 5000 years. Sumer predates them by a narrow margin. The exodus would have been a mere 3400 years ago.
Isaiah 14:16 describes Satan as a man. So until we meet Jesus/The Angel of the Lord, we'll just have to take all of scripture to form our opinion of who or what Satan is. We know Satan is a fallen angle and angels can take on the form of a man.
@@yunusahmed2940 bible prophecy sometimes has a dual occurrence or meaning. The world is currently being run by those with the ancient Babylon beliefs. It wasn't long ago the Arch of Ba'al was in Washington D.C. And we know the heliocentric theory is anti-bible and pro sun worship, which Babylon practiced. And some say it all started with Nimrod.
@@kwakuandspinopython1346 Helel is the hebrew word for the planet Venus as it is Shukra in India and Lucifer in Latin. Lucifer is not an angel nor even a person. It was the early fathers who transformed Lucifer into a person when they created the doctrine of hell and the fall of man.

Thanks for this message. The Unseen Realm is a great read. Michael Heiser has brought many questions to a modern day understanding with his study of Hebrew. Great job on the animation and narrative.
This just goes to show how much knowledge is needed to interpret these ancient scriptural texts. I used to teach Eastern religions in university and it was the same way. I also taught Introduction to World Religions and interpreting the Bible was extremely difficult for me. I wish I had had access to interesting videos like this back then. Thanks a lot! Fascinating!
I've studied this for a long time, and yet I am torn as to whether or not the Nachash in Genesis 3 is the same as Lucifer (Satan, The Adversary, who rebelled, etc.) who tempted Eve. Is it that Lucifer, HIMSELF, is a Nachash class of being or was it he, HIMSELF, who did the tempting/smooth-talking of Eve in the Garden, or is it that the Adversary/Lucifer/whatever "possessed" or somehow "coaxed" this "Serpent" (nachash) into tempting Eve. So, in essence, is it literally Satan who's doing the tempting, or is it a conspirator of Satan's who did the tempting FOR Satan? And if it's the latter, why would Lucifer do it that way, and not just do it himself? Your thoughts?
@@DerrickthePinecone There is nothing to suggest that Satan/Lucifer "possessed" a serpent, although I know some Protestants seem to teach that today. In the Book of Revelation, Satan/Lucifer HIMSELF is referred to as the Old Serpent. Hence, I think this video is actually correct on THAT front.
The same time theory is definitely not new, but it seems like Lucifer was just cast back to Seol after Eden, and it wasn’t his first time. Also, snakes have been proven to have lost their legs, so it could be he truly was made to slither. Either way, I do think there being a massive war in Heaven hints that his fall came before Eden. I also think IP accidentally removed responsibility from Eve by saying she had every right to trust him. She knew what she was doing.
That he fell prior is assumes within the text, so he likely thought it unnecessary to cover that. Likewise, that both Heaven and Earth need to made new indicates that Heaven is slave to sin just like Earth. So that supports a fall before man fell as well. It's just not necessary to cover tbh.
Bill Maher should see this. He is fond of mocking the "talking snake." If he only knew the sophistication of what he mocks. But of course, he wouldn't find this the least bit compelling either. Such is the lot of mockers.
The Greek was Drakkon, but that's high end Greek of the Textus Receptus which Westcott did not like. My own thought on it is he didn't like the translation because it was Dutch Roman Catholic. I've always found the expression, "shot into the earth" interesting.
Connect the dots, the book of enoch speaks about God giving Enoch "his grace", and thus gives literal angelical wings to Enoch and takes him to heaven, in another books in the bible it's mentioned how satan "fell from grace" (could it mean he lost his wings?) and what does a dragon without wings look like? like a snake
There is a lot of confusion nowadays regarding Satan, and who he is, and what his name is in the Scriptures. Just as the Lord Himself has many names, from the Tree That Preserves Life in the Garden, to the Savior Riding the White Horse in Revelation, the Devil has many names, is called several different things, is characterized in numerous ways, and there are a lot of terms, names, and titles used to identify him. The many names, titles, and terms the Devil is called in the Scriptures: the Serpent/Snake; Satan; the Crooked Serpent/Snake; that Old Serpent/Snake Who Was in the Garden; the Hireling; the Bad Tree That Produces Bad Fruit; the Tree That Produces Knowledge That is both Good and Evil; the Punisher; the Seducer; the First Liar; the First Murderer; the Enemy; the Tempter; the God Who Rules Over This Age; the Accuser; The Angel Ruling Over the Bottomless Abyss; Apollyon (the Destroy er); the Devil; the Evil One; the Wicked One; Beelzebub (the God Who Rules Over the Flies); Lucifer (Light Bearing Son of the Morning); Belial (the Worthless One); the Fake One Who Presents Himself as a Messenger of Light; the Adversary; the Ruler Over Darkness; the Ruler Over the Atmosphere; the Ruler Over the Demons; the Anointed Guardian Kherubim; the Father of Lies; the Great Snake/Serpent (transliterated “Dragon” by the early translators: Huge Snake); the Lawless One; the Imposter; the Deceiver of all the Adamic Races; the Deceiver of the Entire Civilized World; the King of Tyre (as a type); the King of Babylon (as a type); a Fallen Star; the Thief, as the Sheep Stealer; the King Over the Lowest Level of the Pit-the Bottomless Part; the Tree filled with Thorns, the Second Beast in Revelation 13; a Roaring Lion; the False Prophet; the Deranged Serpent/Snake, Leviathan; the Son Who Brings Destruction; the Man Who Brings Sin; Murderer; the Devil who Moves about Like a Raging Lion; all synonymous names for the Serpent in the Garden and all terms and names the Devil is called in the Scriptures. Note: Some of the above were in the genitive construction, all of which require some work to bring into English so readers can appreciate their true meaning. I have fully translated them instead of using the English word, “of” (as the early translators did and that most every translator since has done), for which there is no equivalent in either Hebrew or Hellenistic Greek. The closest would be “ek,” which has the core meaning, “out of,” in Greek. Lilly Bloom
Well you gave all the Christian names of satan but do you know what is satan called in Hinduism or Sikhism, some might argue that there is no satan in Hinduism at all but he is there & so is GOD, in Hinduism satan is known as Bhram, now don't think I am talking about Bhrama cause Bhrama is the son of Bhram, Bhram also has two more son one is vishnu & the other is shiv, The GODs name in Hinduism is PramAksharBhram or also known as PramAksharPorush (it means the GOD who can create anything with just words) in Vedas GOD'S name is written as "KavirDev" the poetic GOD who with his poems try to reach the inner self of us all in Orthodox Jewish bible His name is EL is KABIR, in Quran ALLAH Akhbar is ALLAH KABIR but Muslims don't except that KABIR is the actual name of GOD rather they say it means the biggest, the knowledge giver of Quran was not GOD himself but he talks about GOD & says to reach ALLAH KABIR one must find the Bakhabar (who is knowledgeable one) who will guide you to the actual GOD.

This is so good! I saw you mention your Genesis playlist in a comment on your most recent video about hyper literal interpretation and I'm so happy I ran across it! I'm looking forward to going through these videos! Your work is great and very appreciated!
Minute 13:55 onward to say the fall of humaniy and Lucifer at the same time is an oxymoron, the serpent was clearly in a fallen stage already when tempted Eve (it lie, deceive and was rebelious when it said to be "like God",) the nice graphics in this video does not support the Bible hermeneutics.
Thanks you for such a well researched presentation. I find the OT fascinating and having this information that helps me understand how parts of it evolved . I do admire your method of putting the info out there but leaving it to the us any conclusions. Subscribed! PS...

The septuagint records the serpent was crafty above all but when YHWH pronounced judgement He calls the serpent a Brute, something lacking wisdom or intelligence and becoming lower than the beasts of the earth. Interesting...
@@timelesslordkotahi The Septuagint is FAR MORE accurate than the Masoretic text, however - just compare Genesis Chapter 4 in the 2 versions, where the Masoretic scribes seem to have fallen asleep and omitted Cain telling Abel "Let us go into the fields". What God says to Cain in the Septuagint version of Chapter 4 also makes much more sense than the Masoretic version, which does not even explain why Cain's sacrifice was not pleasing to God. People are just biased towards the Masoretic because the King James Version followed it so much, but the King James Version (IDOLATROUS in its associating the name of a SINFUL BRITISH MONARCH with the Word of God) is one of the most embarrassing translations in history.....actually translating the word for the Jewish Passover as EASTER in the Book of Acts (and yet some IGNORANT Protestants cling to it as their only "inspired" translation, some of whom actually go to great lengths pointing out the Pagan origins of 'Easter'. They can't have it both ways when their own "revered" translation uses that Pagan word. Hypocrites!!!!)
This is so helpful! Genesis 3:1 was really bothering me because to me it didn’t appear to reference satan at all! Now I know why 😄 the whole winged serpent thing totally lines up with descriptions people have given me when they seen demons too so this is all very interesting to me! I love that this was taught in a theological and informative way and not darkness glorifying in any manner! It’s rare to find something like that these days!

We are made from the dust and to dust we will return. The serpent was cursed to eat dust. It would explain why the adversary is described as seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5). It would also explain why the dragon waits in front of the woman who is about to give birth in order to eat her child (Revelation 12). Just something thats been on my mind. Im sure the serpent eating dust has much more meaning than simply falling.
God is good. I've been waiting for the release of this video. The detail is amazing and seems to fit perfect with the bible especially the hebrew text. Thank you.
I love this channel! And I think this interpretation is spot on. But I also think you might be too narrowly defining some of the story's key elements. For instance, while I think you've made a great case for the serpent being more than a beast of the field, it's clearly connected to the beasts of the field in Genesis 3, as you pointed out. So I don’t think we should dismiss that, especially when there appears to be a good narrative reason for it. In Genesis 1, God creates man in his own image to have dominion over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky and the creatures that move on the ground. Man, as the image of God, is intended to rule over all other creatures and yet in the fall, he fails to have dominion over a representative of the beasts, the serpent, and finds himself cursed to endless cycle of subjugation. The serpent is cursed to eat the dust and war with woman. The woman to war with serpent (via her offspring) and to war with man. And man to war with the ground until he returns to the dust in death, to be eaten by the dust-eating serpent. Round and round it goes. Instead of creation being rightly ordered by the dominion of God's image, everyone is eating and being eaten by each other. The beasts also appear to represent more than just animals. The dominion over the animals in Genesis 1, as you’ve rightly pointed out, has the connotation of enslavement of other human beings. In Daniel 2 and 7, we find Daniel playing with the themes of images of Genesis 1-3. In Daniel 2, Nebuchadnezzar dreams of an idol (image of God) made of four different metals which represent four different Gentile kingdoms which are in turn destroyed by a rock cut from a mountain and growing into a mountain, representing the kingdom of God. And in Daniel 7, Daniel has a vision of four beasts representing the same Gentile kingdoms which are in turn destroyed by "one like the son of man" (the image of Man/God contrasted with these four beasts) who represents the kingdom of God. It seems to me that Genesis 1-3 also has this same idea within it. The beasts aren't simply beasts but are representative of the Gentile nations over which God had called Israel to have dominion. Genesis 1-3 isn't a history lesson about human origins; It’s a metaphorical/mythological summary depicting for us the Bibles main themes. In the Beginning God creates Man (male and female) as the image (idol) of his temple, gives them a law and a land but Man disobeys the law and is ejected from the land. That's the story of Israel. Eden is the rightly ordered davidic kingdom. The fall isn’t just history; it’s a warning to Israel about the dangers of religious and cultural assimilation.
Two year later.... I think your understanding of the word "beast" in English is imposing over the hebrew "hayyah" a meaning that is not natural in it's own context. The most adecuate english equivalent is "creature", because "hayyah" literally means living being, and implies created living existence. Conceptually, anything that is alive is a hayyah, including humans and angels, because it is a broader term even than nephesh. But, in practice, it is by a very large margin used to name zoological beings (animals). It doesn't directly imply savage or wild animals, though.
For the longest time I've found it confusing that the Bible never specifies when Lucifer fell. I always assumed he was already fallen when tempting Eve, since he is doing a bad thing. But the notion that this event was the final straw that lead to is casting out makes way more sense. He's interfering with God's prized creation, which understandably warrants casting down.
Excellent video as usual. I'm always interested to hear your insight on topics like these. The word "entendre" ( 1:49 ) is pronounced "ahn-tahn-druh", by the way.
Awesome! Been getting some downloads about this as well... And do believe that these dragons/seraphs/jinn are a race of beings created before us humans as the 'keepers of earth' with free will and the ability the replicate, but are made of 'fire'/spirit/qi and hence non-physical. Dust, sheol etc. Also refer to 'the desert' which is a metaphysical place in the underworld which is characterized as a place without the presence of God... Death, dryness (no water of life) etc. You will see this place referenced many times as the 'desert' or 'wilderness' and where demons go and where Jesus was tempted after his fast...
Why do artists often portray the Forbidden Fruit as an apple? Even as a kid, I noticed that nowhere in the Bible did it say it was an apple--it just described it as a fruit from a tree and apples aren't the only fruit that grow on trees and don't have a rind to peel off. I like to imagine it as a unique combination of some fruits, like a guava that tasted like a peach mixed with pomegranate, or something like that.
In northern Europe, apples were the most common fruit, therefore fruit=apple. It's just natural for old Nordic iconography. Let's put it this way: the same folks who gave you a white, blue-eyed Jesus gave you the forbidden apple.
That was awesome! keep it up and up and up and thank you once again for the insights. I am truly appreciative of all the wisdom attained from many different sources! Thank you for being on my journey!!!
Now this, is a very good study. Congrats on putting this video together. So we have a triple entendre, since the audio is very nice! Shining one-Radiant, Supernatural, Snake. Eve was entranced, she was beguiled!
No disrespect man but not a lot of folks here know about or even heard of the divine council. I think you should make a video. Officially explaining what that is.
"Now the serpent was more (crafty, subtle, devious) than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made." Did the Lord God foreknow this? Did the Lord God predestinate this? Everything God made was good or very good. What is good or very good about this being, created with an edge on or advantage over the rest of the created animals and that subtlity is not challenged but appears to be commended?
@@franciscoandreatta5803 Try the spirit. God created me to make inquiry into whatever He/They put in my heart. God is not mad me with me for questioning the madness people wrote about Him/Them. Expose the lies.
I guess the universe is supposed to be as some kind of organism. Some beings have specific duties. But when an eye cell believes it's a... neuron, that's call cancer... If everyone keeps his assigned duty everything will be perfect, but you know, things are not as easy as they may seem. Just as in Tolkien's Ainulindalë: Let's say some "discord" must be played out so some deep songs with spiritual meaning can be played. This way we all will be able to defeat our biggest enemy: Ourselves. As Tolkien said about his unfinished new book called "The new shadow": "It is inevitable that we should be concerned about the most regrettable feature of Men's nature: Their quick saciety with good"
Satan is THE Dragon. He is shown as a red Dragon in revelation. In the Bible, Dragon is basically synonymous with Serpent, they are the same. Also, most eastern depictions of dragons are basically big snakes with small limbs if any.
A thing to add to things related to snakes and the Genesis account is that snakes, according to their DNA, are supposed to have legs, but the DNA of snakes is "broken" to a strange degree where the snake functions without facing issues of the "broken" DNA, and this "broken" DNA is passed down to the offspring without issue or change. In my opinion, the curse given to the serpent in the Bible might be more than spiritual.
Why not read the originals from where the authors of Genesis copied from? The stories with serpents are not originally from Christianity. Christianity "baptized" many stories and made them look Christian. Like for example the story of Saint George and the Dragon, Michael and the Dragon. In fact I came to the conclusion that the book of Revelation is not even a Christian book but was "Christianized" by some folk. In India history there are already mentions to a lizard race too and it has nothing to do with an "angel". The Bible is a mess today it was mistranslated by some folks to create theism and create a whole belief system on a book that has nothing of supernatural.
This is pure gold, this is so crucial to understand and decipher "The Great War" between Enlil & Enki, the war between eagle and the serpent. The war between; Enlil ve Enki Zeus vs Poseidon Yahweh vs Nehilim Huitzilopochtli vs Quetzalcoatl Baal vs Yam God vs Shining one Olympians vs Titans It was all the same war, same characters, but just different names in different cultures.
Absolutely love this video! The best from IP imo so far. This gives me hope for the future of christianity: more sounds contextual Bible reading instead of YEC erroneous interpretations.
It's a small thing to put at the end of the video, but I loved the rapid changing Christ pictures right after you referred to someone crusging its head. Very nice touch.
This is very interesting. I wish you would do a video on Hebrews 2:14 about how Jesus overcame this devil for those who are Christians. That is the rest of the story I think.
wonderful video! seriously. some things that I might disagree with you on: you often reason that, since Genesis 3 is following tropes from Egyptian myth about serpent gods, the Genesis 3 author likely meant "seraphim" instead of "serpent" or used "serpent" as a metaphor for "seraphim"/rebel angel. I wonder though if a simpler and more convincing explanation would be that, like most oral traditions put to writing, Genesis 3 is a version of an older Egyptian myth in which the author "misunderstands" or interprets the serpent god to be a literal serpent, who happens to rebel against god's order also I'm not sure I buy your argument that "beast of the field" doesnt apply to the serpent, since it is implicitly given the title again when it is being punished
@@Meson10 but if you lose your arms only, why not use your legs, and walking signifies the use of legs and feet not arms and hands, he had the highest intelligence among beasts of the field, and he was able to talk like a man, He was the most subtle and beautiful of all the beasts of the field, it is clear, his pride made him to think that he should be seen displayed on the most beautiful tree in the Garden, befitting his splender, and that some how, he would be exempted from any punishment coming from being in it, because , it was obvious to him that, there were no creatures in Eden that were as fatefully and wonderfully made except him, even man was despised in his eyes; it was foolish pride that betrayed him and led him there.
@@Meson10 Smash or grab Meson, or in a dash or in a hurry, what do you say, think it is less word play as it is the meaning as such, won't you agree !?
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! (Isaiah 14:12, KJV) It also depends on your translation. But here is a good article on it: answersingenesis.org/angels-and-demons/satan/who-is-satan-and-was-he-always-called-satan/
@@Robert_Santana there is no Lucifer in original text : Isiah 14:12 ’êḵ nā-p̄al-tā miš-šā-ma-yim *hê-lêl* ben-šā-ḥar; niḡ-da‘-tā ā-’ā-reṣ, ‘al-gō-w-yim The words Heylel (הֵילֵל) simply means "Morning Star". There is no Lucifer in Hebrew. It was St. Jerome who translated "Heylel" as "Lucifer" in his Latin Vulgata's Bible.
@Raymond Palmer Heylel in Hebrew means : morning star/day star. The Latin for Lucifer means "light-bearer". The word Lucifer never be the name of Devil in Hebrew, since there is no devil or satan who named "Heylel" in Jewish religious tradition. There is many people who have a name Lucifer in early Christian church, for example St. Lucifer of Cagliari, the defender of the deity of Christ with St. Athanasius. During the Easter Vigil liturgy, the Catholic Church use the word Lucifer as a reference to Jesus : "May this flame be found still burning by the *Morning Star: (Latin:Lucifer)* the one *Morning Star (Latin:Lucifer)* who never sets, Christ your Son, who, coming back from death's domain, has shed his peaceful light on humanity, and lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen." Scripture itself calls Jesus the morning star: Revelation 22:16 "I, Jesus, have sent Mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star *(Latin:Lucifer)"* If you red the verses in context, the passage never referring "Heylel" as the for the Devil, but explicitly refers to the king of Babylon as a man (Heb., ’ish) who conquered kingdom : Is. 14:12, 16-17 How you are fallen from heaven, *O Day Star,* son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! “Is this *the man* who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms, who made the world like a desert and overthrew its cities, who did not let his prisoners go home?” It also refers multiple times to his decay after death and how he will not lie in his own tomb : Is. 14:11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, the sound of your harps; *maggots are the bed beneath you, and worms are your covering”* Is. 14:18-19 All the kings of the nations lie in glory, each in his own tomb; but *you are cast out,* away *from your sepulcher,* like a loathed untimely birth.
@Raymond Palmer both Catholic and early Protestant Fathers never interpret "Heylel" as the name of the Devil. Both Luther and Calvin refer Heylel as the King of Babylon : Luther wrote: 12. How you are fallen from heaven, Lucifer! *This is not said of the angel who once was thrown out of heaven but of the king of Babylon,* and it is figurative language. Isaiah becomes a disciple of Calliope and in like manner laughs at the king. Heylel [the Hebrew word used in the text] denotes the morning star, called Lucifer and the son of Dawn. “Heaven” is where we are with our heads, and that is obviously above the ground, just as that most powerful and extremely magnificent king was once above, but now his lamp is extinguished (Luther’s Works 16:140; Preface to the Prophet Isaiah, ch. 14). Calvin was quite hostile to the application of this passage to the devil, writing: 12. How art thou fallen from heaven! Isaiah proceeds with the discourse which he had formerly begun as personating the dead, and concludes that the tyrant differs in no respect from other men, though his object was to lead men to believe that he was some god. He employs an elegant metaphor, by comparing him to Lucifer, and calls him the Son of the Dawn; and that on account of his splendor and brightness with which he shone above others. *The exposition of this passage, which some have given, as if it referred to Satan, has arisen from ignorance; for the context plainly shows that these statements must be understood in reference to the king of the Babylonians.* But when passages of Scripture are taken up at random, and no attention is paid to the context, we need not wonder that mistakes of this kind frequently arise. Yet it was an instance of very gross ignorance, to imagine that Lucifer was the king of devils, and that the Prophet gave him this name. But as these inventions have no probability whatever, let us pass by them as useless fables (Commentary on Isaiah at 14:12).
Can one of you guys please help me understand why God is referred to as the morning star on chariots or somethin I forgot the exact read, but I do know satan was also referred to as the morning star? Thanks just tryin to understand as much as I can, n this seemed odd to me
I was thinking about the same thing makes me think of dragons or Draco's the next question are they the same ones that are part of the shadow government the hindu snake serpent are called NAGAS said that some of them had wings..
There is a series of videos of a seminar that an unseen realm researcher named Michael Heiser hosted at a place called Celebration church. In the 3rd session he speaks on the nature of this serpent entity and others like it and the nature of their descendants with relevant historical texts to support his deductions. If you hear enough eyewitness accounts about the spirit realm, you will know that demons are the disembodied spirits of the offspring of these angels and humans. They are often described as having serpent-like features. There are also flesh and blood descendants that trace their roots back to the rephaim kings. They are alive and well today and are constantly working their hand at oppressing, dominating, and controlling humanity at large. You read about the monarchy system of government and realize why God didn’t want Israel to have a king but only allowed it out of concession. Because the monarchy system of government came from these twisted beings who sought to raise themselves as gods over the true imagebearers of God since the dawn of time. That is one reason why a constitutional republic is such a big deal. It’s because it’s a total departure from that system, spitting in the face of anything and everything it represents. But you read in myths about royalty being possessing of the “dragon blood”.
Nikki Preston which makes sense that they would be among the builders of such a thing as the “deep state” or the “shadow government”. A globalist conspiracy of governmental subversion would definitely be the work I would portend to come from such an insidious force.
If the serpent was to go on his belly "all the days of his life" it seems to imply that it was mortal and could die which I'm not sure would be the case of an Angel or shining one from heaven come down to earth. Anything that goes "all the days of his life" is by definition mortal and capable of dying.
As interesting as this video first appears, the understanding I have come to concerning Devil/Satan/Serpent is that they are one of the same. Please give the following some careful thought instead of instantly dismissing thoughts you might not have considered. Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: I suggest reading the following verses:- Jeremiah 17:9; Mark 7:21-23; James 1:13-16; Rom 8:7. Then apply the principle to see how the (deceitful) human heart is behind the Bible's literary use of Devil/Satan/Serpent. Whenever these titles are used; look first of all for a human connection. The "Devil" represents evil thoughts leading to evil actions. It is easy for humans not to obey the commandments of God, whereby all people should do good and live in peace. "Satan" means adversary, or opposer. It is easy to see how easily humans to rebel against God and his instruction. The "Serpent" is the liar or deceiver. The heart can be so deceptive, we can deceive ourselves as well as others. This subject is (in my mind) one of the most misunderstood and leads to promulgation of lies. Why did Jesus speak in parables? Once you find the answer (Matt 13:13), that should answer the question; Why is the Bible written using the literary style of personification? Understanding that, is the key to unlocking the spiritual message of the Bible. Personification is used to represent something as a character. The character does not exist in real life, but for the sake of getting a message across and understanding the interaction of characters represented, so the portrayal of the human heart/mind and human nature is portrayed as Devil/Satan/Serpent. Devil/Satan/serpent has nothing to do with fallen Angels (Holy Angels). God's Angels are ministering spirits, who do his will. Angels are immortal, therefore a fallen (Holy) Angel is an oxymoron, because "fallen Angels" would be immortal sinners. Eve is deceived by her own reasoning. She did not reason with God and ask; Why? and seek his answer. The story is confusing because I have come to understand there are two serpents in the story. The first Serpent, represents the human mind and Eve's internal conversation leading to her false reasoning. The second Serpent could be a snake. Eve did not lie to God when she said; "the serpent (snake) deceived me". She deceived herself by thinking; why had not the snake died for being on the tree and touching it. That snake was not the serpent with whom Eve was having the conversation. The Apostle Paul describes the evil side of the human heart/mind as; the "carnal mind". This is the mind that God curses, when he curses the Serpent. We should know, the carnal mind will no longer exist in God's Kingdom on Earth when the Kingdom is fully restored by Christ after his return. The Kingdom of God will only contain righteous people, who will live for ever. The human mind, is the pinnacle of all God's creation, yet with the freedom given to man to exercise choice, so man fell from grace, and so the carnal mind that developed was cursed by God. In all of God's creation there is only one thing that is enmity with God. That is; the carnal mind. Part of that curse was to debase the carnal mind to the basest of minds in the animal kingdom. The human mind and its deception (represented by the Serpent) is perversely more cunning than the "beast of the field". Jesus told his disciples; "to be harmless as doves, but wise as serpents". The human mind was created to reason and to have communication with God. As God said to Israel; (Isa_1:18) " Come now, and let us reason together", saith the LORD Except for Jesus, all humans have fallen prey to their Satan/Devil/Serpent. Hence, we all need saving. Rom_3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom_5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Jesus defeated the Devil through his death on the cross, and resurrection. Jesus did not earn the wages of sin and could not be beholden to the grave. The Righteous Judge (God) had to raise him from the dead. Jesus gained the victory and has gained the victory for us. 1Co_15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.1Co_15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?1Co_15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen
A lot of writing and your half right. The serpent was a man. Ecclesiastes 3:18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
@@yosefyahu4778as you will have read in my comments, I have quoted a lot of scriptures from which I have drawn my conclusions. You may dismiss them; that is your prerogative, but if you are going to tell me I am wrong, then please explain how and quote the scriptures that support your conclusions. I have studied all the scriptures. All scripture has to agree, therefore, when 9 out of 10 say one thing and 1 out of 10 say something different, then that one apparent contradiction has to be reasoned out for a correct understanding, so that it agrees. I can guarantee that any verses you quote in support of your argument, which are in opposition to my reasoning, those verses can be understood another way. This is why I make the appeal to you to carefully examine what you believe. The Bible tells us not to believe lying spirits. Also take note of the following; Jer_16:19 the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. We have inherited lies and the lies are now being exposed. Can you be sure you have not inherited lies?
Another thing is that beasts of the field have heavy connotations to the chaos kapft. The leviathan’s minions are called beasts of the field in the old and New Testament and usually refer to demons or demonic presence. It is also saying this serpent was the most crafty of the demons

Where is laws of Moses banned since ancient times in the bible. Bible thumper.
@@debbiecooper3661 Apostle Saint Paul wrote about this. The Torah was "our teacher until Christ". How? This is what you can hear in these videos.
Weren't you paying attention? The Book of Genesis was plagiarized.
Something to keep in mind, Moses (the author of Genesis) was Egyptian. Raised as a prince of Egypt, he'd have been educated in all Egyptian beliefs and taught hieroglyphics, etc. The Hebrew people he was writing to, were also Egyptian and had incorporated many of their beliefs into their own and worshiped their gods. They likely would have understood references to Egyptian ideologies and symbolisms. It would make sense that the connection between Genesis iconography and Egyptian culture would be very strong and would have been a common frame of reference when Moses wrote to the Hebrews to explain complicated topics, theologies and beings.
It however has to be remembered that according to the Supplementative hypothesis (the most plausible one for Christians), some parts of the Pentateuch were probably added after Moses. There were also originally two Mosaic writings: the general writings written during his life, and the Book of Law, uncompleted by his death, which contained the core of Deuteronomy and some later writings from the time of Joshua.
There is no (extra-Biblical, archeological) evidence to support any of this. There is no evidence of Moses in Egypt, no evidence he was raised as a prince, etc.
Boy was I so confused when I first started the series now I starting to understand and it’s fascinating!!! I’m so excited to finish the Bible.

Ezekiel 28:12-19 KJV
Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 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. 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. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
This video is genuinely amazing. The Judean iconography is incredibly interesting, I love the way it looks. Also, that bit at the end with flashing images of Christ was such a great addition.
El Shaddai means God Almighty in Hebrew
It comes from the Akkadian word shaddu which means mountain
The Arabic word for mountain is sana
Sana means thread of summer in Japanese
Sana means eternity in Sanskrit
The Ancient Jews believed that the earth(cosmos in Greek) was flat
Albert Einstein modeled the cosmos with an infinite flat sheet of space/time
A black hole is an infinite pit in space/time
An infinite mountain in space/time would be an infinite white hole.
Dark Energy and Dark Matter can be explained by finite quantum spinning white holes(tachyons) that exist for a few planck instances.
Some scientists believe that the big bang was a white hole
If God is an infinite white hole than the Father would be the infinite omnilarity of the white hole, the Son would be the infinite tachyon, and the Holy Spirit would be the infinite tachyonic wave(space)
Space does not expand: The cosmos is shrinking while space is constant. This means that the speed of light is shrinking each planck instant in a way that makes it appear constant
If the cosmos is shrinking then the density of energy is increasing.
This means that all energy will become a black hole because of Schwarzschild radius
The beginning of the big bang had 0 entropy which means 100% of the universe was light
The universe now has less than 5% light
Conclusion the 3 dimensional cosmos is inbetween an infinite infinitely dimensional white hole and an infinite 0 dimensional black hole.
Good does not need evil to exist
Black Holes are not eternal because of Hawking radiation
If you don't abide in Jesus Christ and the Trinity you will be deleted
You have the choice to be loved everlastingly or to suffer infinite entropy as your last memory that seems forever because 0 time is eternal to a tachyon
Please choose the Perfect Agape of God.

Sure, his name was pronounced _Yeshua_ by his contemporaries while walked the earth, but the God-breathed scriptures written in Greek have his name as Ιησους, so it just doesn't matter.

El Shaddai means God Almighty in Hebrew

The Arabic word for mountain is sana
Sana means thread of summer in Japanese
Sana means eternity in Sanskrit
The Ancient Jews believed that the earth(cosmos in Greek) was flat
Albert Einstein modeled the cosmos with an infinite flat sheet of space/time
A black hole is an infinite pit in space/time
An infinite mountain in space/time would be an infinite white hole.
Dark Energy and Dark Matter can be explained by finite quantum spinning white holes(tachyons) that exist for a few planck instances.
Some scientists believe that the big bang was a white hole
If God is an infinite white hole than the Father would be the infinite omnilarity of the white hole, the Son would be the infinite tachyon, and the Holy Spirit would be the infinite tachyonic wave(space)
Space does not expand: The cosmos is shrinking while space is constant. This means that the speed of light is shrinking each planck instant in a way that makes it appear constant
If the cosmos is shrinking then the density of energy is increasing.
This means that all energy will become a black hole because of Schwarzschild radius
The beginning of the big bang had 0 entropy which means 100% of the universe was light
The universe now has less than 5% light

the ending gave me the biggest goosebumps in my life
I read (from a different source) that the Trees in Eden were a type symbology of the angels, which would reinforce the idea of Eve being comfortable speaking with a divine creature without fear, thus making it that much easier to deceive her. Good teaching!
Really good content.. The more research that we do on the original language, the more fascinating the scriptures become.
This video makes a lot of sense knowing that moses grew up in Egyptian culture, he would use his knowledge to describe the events perfectly.
Moses most likely didn’t write Genesis. It’s widely agreed that several authors wrote Genesis. You’ll even notice IP sometimes refer to “the authors(plural) of Genesis” throughout his videos. We know this because the syntax of Genesis changes back and forth a lot.
@@disguisedcentennial835Jewish tradition says Moses wrote the Torah, we aren’t going to believe the people who compiled the scriptures of the Torah?
@disguisedcentennial835 For an excellent apologetic documentary providing evidence for Moses as the writer of Genesis view The Patterns of Evidence film "The Moses Controversy".
I do think that Moses drew from a pre-existing oral tradition about Genesis. But given his education in the Egyptian court he would have (under the influence of the Holy Spirit) been able to put it into a written form for the Hebrews.
The invention of writing is only around 5000 years old.

Yes, easy to be a critic
Nice way to dismiss people not everybody has the time to sit around and make a video but they do have the time to notice when things that they see are not exactly correct dr. John Walton has been criticized by many a scholar, [Dr. Noel Weeks, Dr. Richard Averbeck, etc.] to name just a few and yet inspiringphilosophy continues to quote him without quoting and referring to those that take to task Walton's interpretations of scripture.
Dr. Noel Weeks, once Senior Lecturer of Ancient History at the University of Sydney, critiquing Dr. Walton’s take on Ancient Near Eastern texts: “In summary I am not impressed by the whole approach…. There is no recognition of the difficulty of discerning a uniform mind of the ANE. Individual extra-biblical texts are turned into representations of the whole huge chronological and cultural span. Even more striking are claims that are simply false.”[7]
Dr. Richard Averbeck, professor of Old Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, “The point is that material creation was of great concern in the ANE as well as in ancient Israel.”[8]

I understand the dichotomy of light and dark + the subsequent applications to good and evil. However, a shadow has been reified ...it is nothing in principle (only attribution).
Gonna wanna go back to the books on EM ... which is the coaxial longitudinal pulse perturbation that is light ...the magnetodielectric governs all and all is light (ie. Illumination)
A black hole is neither black nor is it a hole. It’s a sink into counterspace... ie. Inertial centripetal convergence (inertia in acceleration)
Magnetism is the opposite via force in motion vector ...centrifugal divergence
The two are necessitated and they form the hypertrochoid (inverse throw of a sphere/torus is the hyperboloid counterspatial vector...it’s necessitatively so and it’s all a geometrical as above so below illusion of polarity)

You'll find the same theme in Mesoamerica with the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl; 'The winged serpent' =)
yup i was thinking about Quetzalcoatl-Kukulkan
So aztec god could be the fallen angel?
Exiled beyond the setting sun to the Americas.
Notice how Quetzalcoatl represents a serpent with feathers. The Seraphs are also feathered cobra-esque divine beings that emits an energy similar to a sun with an exception of having plentiful eyes like a peacock. Now my headcanon is Quetzalcoatl was likely a fallen Seraph.
@@itstoughtobehumaninaworldv1872 weren't the Giants of Andine myths half-mortal children of Quetzalcoatl, who were wiped out in a flood due to their conduct?

My friend that was a well done and edifying video. I have never understood the serpentine connection to Lucifer until now. It is starting to make a lot of sense now, which to me proves the validity. Thank you.
All it should really prove is that the Bible is an amalgamation of works inspired from previous civilizations.
I teach theology and admit this was interesting.
Problem is that during the time of Eve in the Garden, Lucifer had not fallen. Who was God talking to in the book of Job? If Lucifer had fallen, he could not stand before God, nor the other “Sons of God”!

@@mexican-americanmale3035 if the fruit actually gives us knowledge of good and evil and hence discernment, then the serpent is not bad but if the forbidden fruit refers to meat (animal flesh) then the serpent is an enemy. The reason I think its meat is because in Gen 1:29, the diet God gave humans did not include meat. If both creation stories are consistent, then the forbidden fruit is meat. When Eve (women) feed Adam (men) food that has meat, the resultant is the punishment that 'men' shall rule over 'women'. This dominion of men over women would totally come to an end when women stop feeding their husbands meat (forbidden fruit). That's one way I look at the Adam and Eve allegory.

I like that you mention that Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 are talking about earthly Kings but in such a way that harkens back to a rebellious divine being instead of asserting that the authors change topics in the mid monologue as I usually hear. This makes a lot more sense.
It says that the serpent was more subtle than any of the beasts of the field. NOT THAT he WAS one of the beasts of the fields.

Keep in mind Moses wrote the book of Genesis. He was taught from Egyptian teacher. That’s why it has a lot of Egyptian culture.
There is more Babylonian influence in Genesis than Egyptian, which suggests that maybe Moses didn't write the version of the book of Genesis we have in the bible, but that it was written during Israel's exile to Babylon. Either way, that doesn't remove the fact that it is the inspired word of God.
@@danxmontiel777 that's backwards.
The Israelites are descendants of who?
Abraham.
Where was Abraham from?
Mesopotamia, North or sumer.
Abraham and Babylon were both inheritors of the same traditions. Babylon didn't invent much of their own culture, but they updated the culture they inherited from ancient Sumeria by way of the Akadians.
So Israelites culture was monotheistically reinterpreted Mesopotamian culture, imported into cannan for a few generations, but then moved to Egypt for nearly 400 years.
So the Torah should be expected to reflect aspects of ancient Mesopotamian culture, Egyptian culture, and novelties defined in terms of backslashes against both. To a less obvious extent there's a lot if cannanite culture there as well, as Michael Heiser points out, in reactions to the Ba'al cycle myths in Cannan.
The later writings incorporate aspects of Persian culture as well, then later, in the intertestamental period and the first century: aspects of hellenisation on one hand, and rejection of hellenisatiom on the other hand.
Uh ... There was not a place called Egypt during this time frame.
The entire middle east was called Alkebulan .
Egypt came after the mass exodus and the land was divided by the invaders of evil. The leader of these killers out of Europe was Afrikanus and this is who gave the contenants it's name from Alkebulan.
Wevall have been fooled enough to remove the black people that ruled the entire area by 18 dynastic Kings and Queens , they only tell you about one , King Tut.

...other than the clear editorial parentheticals (often attributed to ezra or one of his scribes) there's no evidence he didn't write it.
The advent of the documentary hypothesis got going because of the early 19th century ivory tower belief Moses couldn't have written the Torah since he was undoubtedly illiterate.
They unanimously believed this because at the time it was popularly assumed the Egyptians didn't have an actual written language because no one had discovered the Rosetta Stone yet. And since there were no ancient examples of Hebrew, the cynics just declared Moses illiterate.
Thus they had to rationalize how the stories came together from multiple sources much later, so they looked for clues to discover this and they fixated of the use of different names for God and assumed they come from different authors.
With modern scholarship exploding all of the mental gymnastics that made the JEPD documentary hypothesis seem plausible, there's now no reason not to attribute the Torah to Moses, or a scribe in his service.
In Jewish tradition they're called the books of Moses.
@@NOTTHASAME nothing you just said lines up with historical academic archaeology. Egypt goes back almost 5000 years. Sumer predates them by a narrow margin. The exodus would have been a mere 3400 years ago.
"Does the Bible teach a talking serpent actually existed?"

Thanks for this message. The Unseen Realm is a great read. Michael Heiser has brought many questions to a modern day understanding with his study of Hebrew. Great job on the animation and narrative.
This just goes to show how much knowledge is needed to interpret these ancient scriptural texts. I used to teach Eastern religions in university and it was the same way. I also taught Introduction to World Religions and interpreting the Bible was extremely difficult for me. I wish I had had access to interesting videos like this back then. Thanks a lot! Fascinating!
I've studied this for a long time, and yet I am torn as to whether or not the Nachash in Genesis 3 is the same as Lucifer (Satan, The Adversary, who rebelled, etc.) who tempted Eve. Is it that Lucifer, HIMSELF, is a Nachash class of being or was it he, HIMSELF, who did the tempting/smooth-talking of Eve in the Garden, or is it that the Adversary/Lucifer/whatever "possessed" or somehow "coaxed" this "Serpent" (nachash) into tempting Eve. So, in essence, is it literally Satan who's doing the tempting, or is it a conspirator of Satan's who did the tempting FOR Satan? And if it's the latter, why would Lucifer do it that way, and not just do it himself? Your thoughts?
@@DerrickthePinecone There is nothing to suggest that Satan/Lucifer "possessed" a serpent, although I know some Protestants seem to teach that today. In the Book of Revelation, Satan/Lucifer HIMSELF is referred to as the Old Serpent. Hence, I think this video is actually correct on THAT front.
@@Rapture1987 In this land dragons be.
The only thing I would ask you to look into more is Lucifer falling before humans, and not at the same time.
The same time theory is definitely not new, but it seems like Lucifer was just cast back to Seol after Eden, and it wasn’t his first time. Also, snakes have been proven to have lost their legs, so it could be he truly was made to slither.
Either way, I do think there being a massive war in Heaven hints that his fall came before Eden.
I also think IP accidentally removed responsibility from Eve by saying she had every right to trust him. She knew what she was doing.
That he fell prior is assumes within the text, so he likely thought it unnecessary to cover that. Likewise, that both Heaven and Earth need to made new indicates that Heaven is slave to sin just like Earth. So that supports a fall before man fell as well. It's just not necessary to cover tbh.
Bill Maher should see this. He is fond of mocking the "talking snake." If he only knew the sophistication of what he mocks. But of course, he wouldn't find this the least bit compelling either. Such is the lot of mockers.
BRILLIANT!! Please, please, please more!! Biblical teaching in context to the ANE is so needed.
Ive seen other interpretations where nachash it interpreted to be a dragon and not a snake. Winged divine serpent sure sounds like a dragon
A snake is a serpent, so is a dragon.
The Greek was Drakkon, but that's high end Greek of the Textus Receptus which Westcott did not like. My own thought on it is he didn't like the translation because it was Dutch Roman Catholic. I've always found the expression, "shot into the earth" interesting.
Connect the dots, the book of enoch speaks about God giving Enoch "his grace", and thus gives literal angelical wings to Enoch and takes him to heaven, in another books in the bible it's mentioned how satan "fell from grace" (could it mean he lost his wings?) and what does a dragon without wings look like? like a snake
So, Chinese Dragons?
There is a lot of confusion nowadays regarding Satan, and who he is, and what his name is in the Scriptures. Just as the Lord Himself has many names, from the Tree That Preserves Life in the Garden, to the Savior Riding the White Horse in Revelation, the Devil has many names, is called several different things, is characterized in numerous ways, and there are a lot of terms, names, and titles used to identify him.
The many names, titles, and terms the Devil is called in the Scriptures: the Serpent/Snake; Satan; the Crooked Serpent/Snake; that Old Serpent/Snake Who Was in the Garden; the Hireling; the Bad Tree That Produces Bad Fruit; the Tree That Produces Knowledge That is both Good and Evil; the Punisher; the Seducer; the First Liar; the First Murderer; the Enemy; the Tempter; the God Who Rules Over This Age; the Accuser; The Angel Ruling Over the Bottomless Abyss; Apollyon (the Destroy er); the Devil; the Evil One; the Wicked One; Beelzebub (the God Who Rules Over the Flies); Lucifer (Light Bearing Son of the Morning); Belial (the Worthless One); the Fake One Who Presents Himself as a Messenger of Light; the Adversary; the Ruler Over Darkness; the Ruler Over the Atmosphere; the Ruler Over the Demons; the Anointed Guardian Kherubim; the Father of Lies; the Great Snake/Serpent (transliterated “Dragon” by the early translators: Huge Snake); the Lawless One; the Imposter; the Deceiver of all the Adamic Races; the Deceiver of the Entire Civilized World; the King of Tyre (as a type); the King of Babylon (as a type); a Fallen Star; the Thief, as the Sheep Stealer; the King Over the Lowest Level of the Pit-the Bottomless Part; the Tree filled with Thorns, the Second Beast in Revelation 13; a Roaring Lion; the False Prophet; the Deranged Serpent/Snake, Leviathan; the Son Who Brings Destruction; the Man Who Brings Sin; Murderer; the Devil who Moves about Like a Raging Lion; all synonymous names for the Serpent in the Garden and all terms and names the Devil is called in the Scriptures.
Note: Some of the above were in the genitive construction, all of which require some work to bring into English so readers can appreciate their true meaning. I have fully translated them instead of using the English word, “of” (as the early translators did and that most every translator since has done), for which there is no equivalent in either Hebrew or Hellenistic Greek. The closest would be “ek,” which has the core meaning, “out of,” in Greek.

Well you gave all the Christian names of satan but do you know what is satan called in Hinduism or Sikhism, some might argue that there is no satan in Hinduism at all but he is there & so is GOD, in Hinduism satan is known as Bhram, now don't think I am talking about Bhrama cause Bhrama is the son of Bhram, Bhram also has two more son one is vishnu & the other is shiv,
The GODs name in Hinduism is PramAksharBhram or also known as PramAksharPorush (it means the GOD who can create anything with just words) in Vedas GOD'S name is written as "KavirDev" the poetic GOD who with his poems try to reach the inner self of us all in Orthodox Jewish bible His name is EL is KABIR, in Quran ALLAH Akhbar is ALLAH KABIR but Muslims don't except that KABIR is the actual name of GOD rather they say it means the biggest, the knowledge giver of Quran was not GOD himself but he talks about GOD & says to reach ALLAH KABIR one must find the Bakhabar (who is knowledgeable one) who will guide you to the actual GOD.

Minute 13:55 onward to say the fall of humaniy and Lucifer at the same time is an oxymoron, the serpent was clearly in a fallen stage already when tempted Eve (it lie, deceive and was rebelious when it said to be "like God",) the nice graphics in this video does not support the Bible hermeneutics.

It would be nice to have Dr. Heiser on IP’s channel. We would probably hear some great topics between those two.
The septuagint records the serpent was crafty above all but when YHWH pronounced judgement He calls the serpent a Brute, something lacking wisdom or intelligence and becoming lower than the beasts of the earth. Interesting...
Yes, because true wisdom is fearing and loving God as He is the source of all wisdom.
Interesting, Koine Greek or Judeo/Greek. Not a great fan of the Septuagint but interesting all the same.
@@timelesslordkotahi The Septuagint is FAR MORE accurate than the Masoretic text, however - just compare Genesis Chapter 4 in the 2 versions, where the Masoretic scribes seem to have fallen asleep and omitted Cain telling Abel "Let us go into the fields". What God says to Cain in the Septuagint version of Chapter 4 also makes much more sense than the Masoretic version, which does not even explain why Cain's sacrifice was not pleasing to God.
People are just biased towards the Masoretic because the King James Version followed it so much, but the King James Version (IDOLATROUS in its associating the name of a SINFUL BRITISH MONARCH with the Word of God) is one of the most embarrassing translations in history.....actually translating the word for the Jewish Passover as EASTER in the Book of Acts (and yet some IGNORANT Protestants cling to it as their only "inspired" translation, some of whom actually go to great lengths pointing out the Pagan origins of 'Easter'. They can't have it both ways when their own "revered" translation uses that Pagan word. Hypocrites!!!!)

Love your vids - thank you for biblical explanations for those who love to study philosophy and physics
We are made from the dust and to dust we will return. The serpent was cursed to eat dust. It would explain why the adversary is described as seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5). It would also explain why the dragon waits in front of the woman who is about to give birth in order to eat her child (Revelation 12). Just something thats been on my mind. Im sure the serpent eating dust has much more meaning than simply falling.
These teachings are incredible! Great work.

@Brenton Rahm _"snakes did have legs..."_
Yes. And they still do... Thank you for the advise you left in this thread.
I love this channel! And I think this interpretation is spot on. But I also think you might be too narrowly defining some of the story's key elements. For instance, while I think you've made a great case for the serpent being more than a beast of the field, it's clearly connected to the beasts of the field in Genesis 3, as you pointed out. So I don’t think we should dismiss that, especially when there appears to be a good narrative reason for it. In Genesis 1, God creates man in his own image to have dominion over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky and the creatures that move on the ground. Man, as the image of God, is intended to rule over all other creatures and yet in the fall, he fails to have dominion over a representative of the beasts, the serpent, and finds himself cursed to endless cycle of subjugation. The serpent is cursed to eat the dust and war with woman. The woman to war with serpent (via her offspring) and to war with man. And man to war with the ground until he returns to the dust in death, to be eaten by the dust-eating serpent. Round and round it goes. Instead of creation being rightly ordered by the dominion of God's image, everyone is eating and being eaten by each other. The beasts also appear to represent more than just animals. The dominion over the animals in Genesis 1, as you’ve rightly pointed out, has the connotation of enslavement of other human beings. In Daniel 2 and 7, we find Daniel playing with the themes of images of Genesis 1-3. In Daniel 2, Nebuchadnezzar dreams of an idol (image of God) made of four different metals which represent four different Gentile kingdoms which are in turn destroyed by a rock cut from a mountain and growing into a mountain, representing the kingdom of God. And in Daniel 7, Daniel has a vision of four beasts representing the same Gentile kingdoms which are in turn destroyed by "one like the son of man" (the image of Man/God contrasted with these four beasts) who represents the kingdom of God. It seems to me that Genesis 1-3 also has this same idea within it. The beasts aren't simply beasts but are representative of the Gentile nations over which God had called Israel to have dominion. Genesis 1-3 isn't a history lesson about human origins; It’s a metaphorical/mythological summary depicting for us the Bibles main themes. In the Beginning God creates Man (male and female) as the image (idol) of his temple, gives them a law and a land but Man disobeys the law and is ejected from the land. That's the story of Israel. Eden is the rightly ordered davidic kingdom. The fall isn’t just history; it’s a warning to Israel about the dangers of religious and cultural assimilation.
Two year later....
I think your understanding of the word "beast" in English is imposing over the hebrew "hayyah" a meaning that is not natural in it's own context. The most adecuate english equivalent is "creature", because "hayyah" literally means living being, and implies created living existence. Conceptually, anything that is alive is a hayyah, including humans and angels, because it is a broader term even than nephesh. But, in practice, it is by a very large margin used to name zoological beings (animals). It doesn't directly imply savage or wild animals, though.
For the longest time I've found it confusing that the Bible never specifies when Lucifer fell. I always assumed he was already fallen when tempting Eve, since he is doing a bad thing. But the notion that this event was the final straw that lead to is casting out makes way more sense. He's interfering with God's prized creation, which understandably warrants casting down.
Excellent video as usual. I'm always interested to hear your insight on topics like these.
The word "entendre" ( 1:49 ) is pronounced "ahn-tahn-druh", by the way.
I am french and it is a french verb
I've heard a few times that the "wings" of a nachash was the hood of the cobra. Is there anything to that?
Maybe...there were also the "fiery serpents" in Numbers who were described as "seraph serpents"
No
Awesome! Been getting some downloads about this as well... And do believe that these dragons/seraphs/jinn are a race of beings created before us humans as the 'keepers of earth' with free will and the ability the replicate, but are made of 'fire'/spirit/qi and hence non-physical.
Dust, sheol etc. Also refer to 'the desert' which is a metaphysical place in the underworld which is characterized as a place without the presence of God... Death, dryness (no water of life) etc. You will see this place referenced many times as the 'desert' or 'wilderness' and where demons go and where Jesus was tempted after his fast...
in the movie constatine it shows keenu reeves going to the underworld in a black dessert with sand blowing with demons
Why do artists often portray the Forbidden Fruit as an apple? Even as a kid, I noticed that nowhere in the Bible did it say it was an apple--it just described it as a fruit from a tree and apples aren't the only fruit that grow on trees and don't have a rind to peel off. I like to imagine it as a unique combination of some fruits, like a guava that tasted like a peach mixed with pomegranate, or something like that.
In northern Europe, apples were the most common fruit, therefore fruit=apple. It's just natural for old Nordic iconography.
Let's put it this way: the same folks who gave you a white, blue-eyed Jesus gave you the forbidden apple.
That was awesome! keep it up and up and up and thank you once again for the insights. I am truly appreciative of all the wisdom attained from many different sources! Thank you for being on my journey!!!
Nachash (the rebel of Eden), the shining one. The mighty cherub. The precious stones were his covering. No wonder Eve was beguiled.
What biblical hebrew dictionary did you use to come up with that definition?
What happened between eve and the serpent.. Thats the result of the serpent seed now. We can see them mostly in mainstream media, entertainment etc.
Cherub? I thought he was a Seraphim
What didn't Walton agree with?
Really informative video, thanks.
"Seraph were considered a type of cherub". Thankz this clarifies a lot.
Not true.
These are 2 different classes of the Heavenly host.
Kerubim are winged bulls and seraphim are winged snakes. Not the same beings
Now this, is a very good study. Congrats on putting this video together. So we have a triple entendre, since the audio is very nice! Shining one-Radiant, Supernatural, Snake. Eve was entranced, she was beguiled!
I love all the long format videos/series! Why don't you make them anymore?
No disrespect man but not a lot of folks here know about or even heard of the divine council. I think you should make a video. Officially explaining what that is.
DR Michael Heiser has lectures on Sentinel Apologetics video channel
Yeah, I will in January.
"Now the serpent was more (crafty, subtle, devious) than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made."
Did the Lord God foreknow this?
Did the Lord God predestinate this? Everything God made was good or very good.
What is good or very good about this being, created with an edge on or advantage over the rest of the created animals and that subtlity is not challenged but appears to be commended?

Seraphim: Winged serpentine creature, firey, gem covered.... So you're telling me the angels are dragons?? Awesome :,) :D
I guess the universe is supposed to be as some kind of organism. Some beings have specific duties. But when an eye cell believes it's a... neuron, that's call cancer... If everyone keeps his assigned duty everything will be perfect, but you know, things are not as easy as they may seem. Just as in Tolkien's Ainulindalë: Let's say some "discord" must be played out so some deep songs with spiritual meaning can be played. This way we all will be able to defeat our biggest enemy: Ourselves. As Tolkien said about his unfinished new book called "The new shadow": "It is inevitable that we should be concerned about the most regrettable feature of Men's nature: Their quick saciety with good"
Satan is THE Dragon. He is shown as a red Dragon in revelation. In the Bible, Dragon is basically synonymous with Serpent, they are the same.
Also, most eastern depictions of dragons are basically big snakes with small limbs if any.
Eneois and Eastern religions praise and worship dragons confirming the occult that they are satanic
More like dragons are inspired by angels, specifically fallen angels. This is why St.. George killing a dragon was such a big deal.
Just the Seraphim.
A thing to add to things related to snakes and the Genesis account is that snakes, according to their DNA, are supposed to have legs, but the DNA of snakes is "broken" to a strange degree where the snake functions without facing issues of the "broken" DNA, and this "broken" DNA is passed down to the offspring without issue or change.
In my opinion, the curse given to the serpent in the Bible might be more than spiritual.
Why not read the originals from where the authors of Genesis copied from? The stories with serpents are not originally from Christianity. Christianity "baptized" many stories and made them look Christian. Like for example the story of Saint George and the Dragon, Michael and the Dragon. In fact I came to the conclusion that the book of Revelation is not even a Christian book but was "Christianized" by some folk. In India history there are already mentions to a lizard race too and it has nothing to do with an "angel". The Bible is a mess today it was mistranslated by some folks to create theism and create a whole belief system on a book that has nothing of supernatural.
This is pure gold, this is so crucial to understand and decipher "The Great War" between Enlil & Enki, the war between eagle and the serpent.
The war between;
Enlil ve Enki
Zeus vs Poseidon
Yahweh vs Nehilim
Huitzilopochtli vs Quetzalcoatl
Baal vs Yam
God vs Shining one
Olympians vs Titans
It was all the same war, same characters, but just different names in different cultures.
There is no war between Yahweh and Lucifer. It's one foolishly thinking he has any chance of winning while the other is an omnipotent perfect being
@@rayzas4885 true
Lol, did you just call god Baal
Thank You Jesus Christ for crushing the snake 2000 years ago! Blessings to you and your family ✝️🌹✝️
Absolutely love this video! The best from IP imo so far. This gives me hope for the future of christianity: more sounds contextual Bible reading instead of YEC erroneous interpretations.
A snake can only be a snake. A serpent can be many things.
It's a small thing to put at the end of the video, but I loved the rapid changing Christ pictures right after you referred to someone crusging its head. Very nice touch.
9:19 it’s not dust , it’s clay , eating dirt (putting their seed through earthling woman) becoming underhills
8:05....eat dust...werent humans created from dust in the bible? sooo, could that mean eat humans?
This is very interesting. I wish you would do a video on Hebrews 2:14 about how Jesus overcame this devil for those who are Christians. That is the rest of the story I think.
Rest of the story you will be surprised.

Bill Bag interesting
wonderful video! seriously. some things that I might disagree with you on: you often reason that, since Genesis 3 is following tropes from Egyptian myth about serpent gods, the Genesis 3 author likely meant "seraphim" instead of "serpent" or used "serpent" as a metaphor for "seraphim"/rebel angel.
I wonder though if a simpler and more convincing explanation would be that, like most oral traditions put to writing, Genesis 3 is a version of an older Egyptian myth in which the author "misunderstands" or interprets the serpent god to be a literal serpent, who happens to rebel against god's order
also I'm not sure I buy your argument that "beast of the field" doesnt apply to the serpent, since it is implicitly given the title again when it is being punished
This is a wonderful briefing. Excellent work!
That old serpent the dragon 🐉
Cast out of heaven for his rebellion against God almighty.
Not that one, he was an animal, a flesh and blood creation, that walked upright like an Ape, so when he was cursed, he lost his limbs.
Dragons have hands. And when Yahuah the almighty father cursed him to walk on his belly, now that serpant is a snake that walks on his belly.
@@Meson10 but if you lose your arms only, why not use your legs, and walking signifies the use of legs and feet not arms and hands, he had the highest intelligence among beasts of the field, and he was able to talk like a man, He was the most subtle and beautiful of all the beasts of the field, it is clear, his pride made him to think that he should be seen displayed on the most beautiful tree in the Garden, befitting his splender, and that some how, he would be exempted from any punishment coming from being in it, because , it was obvious to him that, there were no creatures in Eden that were as fatefully and wonderfully made except him, even man was despised in his eyes; it was foolish pride that betrayed him and led him there.
@@Meson10 Smash or grab Meson, or in a dash or in a hurry, what do you say, think it is less word play as it is the meaning as such, won't you agree !?

Bible never mention Lucifer as a name for Satan.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! (Isaiah 14:12, KJV)
It also depends on your translation. But here is a good article on it: answersingenesis.org/angels-and-demons/satan/who-is-satan-and-was-he-always-called-satan/
@@Robert_Santana there is no Lucifer in original text :
Isiah 14:12
’êḵ nā-p̄al-tā miš-šā-ma-yim *hê-lêl* ben-šā-ḥar; niḡ-da‘-tā ā-’ā-reṣ, ‘al-gō-w-yim
The words Heylel (הֵילֵל) simply means "Morning Star". There is no Lucifer in Hebrew. It was St. Jerome who translated "Heylel" as "Lucifer" in his Latin Vulgata's Bible.
@Raymond Palmer Heylel in Hebrew means : morning star/day star. The Latin for Lucifer means "light-bearer". The word Lucifer never be the name of Devil in Hebrew, since there is no devil or satan who named "Heylel" in Jewish religious tradition. There is many people who have a name Lucifer in early Christian church, for example St. Lucifer of Cagliari, the defender of the deity of Christ with St. Athanasius.
During the Easter Vigil liturgy, the Catholic Church use the word Lucifer as a reference to Jesus :
"May this flame be found still burning by the *Morning Star: (Latin:Lucifer)* the one *Morning Star (Latin:Lucifer)* who never sets, Christ your Son, who, coming back from death's domain, has shed his peaceful light on humanity, and lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen."
Scripture itself calls Jesus the morning star:
Revelation 22:16
"I, Jesus, have sent Mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star *(Latin:Lucifer)"*
If you red the verses in context, the passage never referring "Heylel" as the for the Devil, but explicitly refers to the king of Babylon as a man (Heb., ’ish) who conquered kingdom :
Is. 14:12, 16-17
How you are fallen from heaven, *O Day Star,* son of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
you who laid the nations low!
“Is this *the man* who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms, who made the world like a desert and overthrew its cities, who did not let his prisoners go home?”
It also refers multiple times to his decay after death and how he will not lie in his own tomb :
Is. 14:11
Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, the sound of your harps; *maggots are the bed beneath you, and worms are your covering”*
Is. 14:18-19
All the kings of the nations lie in glory, each in his own tomb; but *you are cast out,* away *from your sepulcher,* like a loathed untimely birth.
@Raymond Palmer both Catholic and early Protestant Fathers never interpret "Heylel" as the name of the Devil. Both Luther and Calvin refer Heylel as the King of Babylon :
Luther wrote:
12. How you are fallen from heaven, Lucifer! *This is not said of the angel who once was thrown out of heaven but of the king of Babylon,* and it is figurative language. Isaiah becomes a disciple of Calliope and in like manner laughs at the king. Heylel [the Hebrew word used in the text] denotes the morning star, called Lucifer and the son of Dawn. “Heaven” is where we are with our heads, and that is obviously above the ground, just as that most powerful and extremely magnificent king was once above, but now his lamp is extinguished (Luther’s Works 16:140; Preface to the Prophet Isaiah, ch. 14).
Calvin was quite hostile to the application of this passage to the devil, writing:
12. How art thou fallen from heaven! Isaiah proceeds with the discourse which he had formerly begun as personating the dead, and concludes that the tyrant differs in no respect from other men, though his object was to lead men to believe that he was some god. He employs an elegant metaphor, by comparing him to Lucifer, and calls him the Son of the Dawn; and that on account of his splendor and brightness with which he shone above others. *The exposition of this passage, which some have given, as if it referred to Satan, has arisen from ignorance; for the context plainly shows that these statements must be understood in reference to the king of the Babylonians.* But when passages of Scripture are taken up at random, and no attention is paid to the context, we need not wonder that mistakes of this kind frequently arise. Yet it was an instance of very gross ignorance, to imagine that Lucifer was the king of devils, and that the Prophet gave him this name. But as these inventions have no probability whatever, let us pass by them as useless fables (Commentary on Isaiah at 14:12).
Can one of you guys please help me understand why God is referred to as the morning star on chariots or somethin I forgot the exact read, but I do know satan was also referred to as the morning star? Thanks just tryin to understand as much as I can, n this seemed odd to me
Could the shining ones be what ancient myths of dragons came from.
I was thinking about the same thing makes me think of dragons or Draco's the next question are they the same ones that are part of the shadow government the hindu snake serpent are called NAGAS said that some of them had wings..
There is a series of videos of a seminar that an unseen realm researcher named Michael Heiser hosted at a place called Celebration church. In the 3rd session he speaks on the nature of this serpent entity and others like it and the nature of their descendants with relevant historical texts to support his deductions. If you hear enough eyewitness accounts about the spirit realm, you will know that demons are the disembodied spirits of the offspring of these angels and humans. They are often described as having serpent-like features. There are also flesh and blood descendants that trace their roots back to the rephaim kings. They are alive and well today and are constantly working their hand at oppressing, dominating, and controlling humanity at large. You read about the monarchy system of government and realize why God didn’t want Israel to have a king but only allowed it out of concession. Because the monarchy system of government came from these twisted beings who sought to raise themselves as gods over the true imagebearers of God since the dawn of time. That is one reason why a constitutional republic is such a big deal. It’s because it’s a total departure from that system, spitting in the face of anything and everything it represents. But you read in myths about royalty being possessing of the “dragon blood”.
Nikki Preston they never went away. They just slipped into the shadows.
do you think that there all ready above ground walking around with us?
Nikki Preston which makes sense that they would be among the builders of such a thing as the “deep state” or the “shadow government”. A globalist conspiracy of governmental subversion would definitely be the work I would portend to come from such an insidious force.
If the serpent was to go on his belly "all the days of his life" it seems to imply that it was mortal and could die which I'm not sure would be the case of an Angel or shining one from heaven come down to earth. Anything that goes "all the days of his life" is by definition mortal and capable of dying.
Jesus crushes the head of the serpent. He would've lived forever otherwise.
EW Bullinger pointed this out about a century ago. What a brilliant mind.
Is that the Ben Stanhope of the channel 'Ben S'?
Yes
Ben needs to release more videos. His channel is awesome!
As interesting as this video first appears, the understanding I have come to concerning Devil/Satan/Serpent is that they are one of the same. Please give the following some careful thought instead of instantly dismissing thoughts you might not have considered.
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world:
I suggest reading the following verses:- Jeremiah 17:9; Mark 7:21-23; James 1:13-16; Rom 8:7. Then apply the principle to see how the (deceitful) human heart is behind the Bible's literary use of Devil/Satan/Serpent. Whenever these titles are used; look first of all for a human connection.
The "Devil" represents evil thoughts leading to evil actions. It is easy for humans not to obey the commandments of God, whereby all people should do good and live in peace. "Satan" means adversary, or opposer. It is easy to see how easily humans to rebel against God and his instruction. The "Serpent" is the liar or deceiver. The heart can be so deceptive, we can deceive ourselves as well as others.
This subject is (in my mind) one of the most misunderstood and leads to promulgation of lies. Why did Jesus speak in parables? Once you find the answer (Matt 13:13), that should answer the question; Why is the Bible written using the literary style of personification? Understanding that, is the key to unlocking the spiritual message of the Bible. Personification is used to represent something as a character. The character does not exist in real life, but for the sake of getting a message across and understanding the interaction of characters represented, so the portrayal of the human heart/mind and human nature is portrayed as Devil/Satan/Serpent.
Devil/Satan/serpent has nothing to do with fallen Angels (Holy Angels). God's Angels are ministering spirits, who do his will. Angels are immortal, therefore a fallen (Holy) Angel is an oxymoron, because "fallen Angels" would be immortal sinners.
Eve is deceived by her own reasoning. She did not reason with God and ask; Why? and seek his answer. The story is confusing because I have come to understand there are two serpents in the story. The first Serpent, represents the human mind and Eve's internal conversation leading to her false reasoning. The second Serpent could be a snake. Eve did not lie to God when she said; "the serpent (snake) deceived me". She deceived herself by thinking; why had not the snake died for being on the tree and touching it. That snake was not the serpent with whom Eve was having the conversation.
The Apostle Paul describes the evil side of the human heart/mind as; the "carnal mind". This is the mind that God curses, when he curses the Serpent. We should know, the carnal mind will no longer exist in God's Kingdom on Earth when the Kingdom is fully restored by Christ after his return. The Kingdom of God will only contain righteous people, who will live for ever.
The human mind, is the pinnacle of all God's creation, yet with the freedom given to man to exercise choice, so man fell from grace, and so the carnal mind that developed was cursed by God. In all of God's creation there is only one thing that is enmity with God. That is; the carnal mind. Part of that curse was to debase the carnal mind to the basest of minds in the animal kingdom. The human mind and its deception (represented by the Serpent) is perversely more cunning than the "beast of the field". Jesus told his disciples; "to be harmless as doves, but wise as serpents". The human mind was created to reason and to have communication with God. As God said to Israel; (Isa_1:18) " Come now, and let us reason together", saith the LORD
Except for Jesus, all humans have fallen prey to their Satan/Devil/Serpent. Hence, we all need saving. Rom_3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom_5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Jesus defeated the Devil through his death on the cross, and resurrection. Jesus did not earn the wages of sin and could not be beholden to the grave. The Righteous Judge (God) had to raise him from the dead. Jesus gained the victory and has gained the victory for us.
1Co_15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.1Co_15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?1Co_15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen
Good stuff man👍

Sorry bud! You are dead wrong and know not the scriptures! The adversary is a person and not the human inclination!
@@yosefyahu4778as you will have read in my comments, I have quoted a lot of scriptures from which I have drawn my conclusions. You may dismiss them; that is your prerogative, but if you are going to tell me I am wrong, then please explain how and quote the scriptures that support your conclusions. I have studied all the scriptures. All scripture has to agree, therefore, when 9 out of 10 say one thing and 1 out of 10 say something different, then that one apparent contradiction has to be reasoned out for a correct understanding, so that it agrees. I can guarantee that any verses you quote in support of your argument, which are in opposition to my reasoning, those verses can be understood another way. This is why I make the appeal to you to carefully examine what you believe. The Bible tells us not to believe lying spirits. Also take note of the following; Jer_16:19 the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
We have inherited lies and the lies are now being exposed. Can you be sure you have not inherited lies?
Why do john Walton disagree with this video?
could be that the way water is observed to behave proves the Earth must be flat.
@@JesusIsaFlatEarther observed to behave? You mean when we can directly see that it isn't flat?
Another thing is that beasts of the field have heavy connotations to the chaos kapft. The leviathan’s minions are called beasts of the field in the old and New Testament and usually refer to demons or demonic presence. It is also saying this serpent was the most crafty of the demons
I appreciate these videos and the visuals. U did a great job.
