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.
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.
Bless you older brother Gleason glad you are learning with us
As far as I can see all the other videos from InspiringPhilosophy are very good so it is a good idea to watch other ones from him, too.
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.
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.
Same! I also make videos on Genesis
Awesome! I’ve been teaching this very same thing for about 20 years. It is refreshing to know others have seen this!!! Praise God!😇🙏🏻

I hear a lot of people arguing over Satan being a Seraph or a Cherub.
Person 1: Is Satan a Seraph?
Person 2: Is Satan a Cherub?
IP: Yes.
To IP, I subscribed after watching that great apologetics calibration you and the other channels did.
No. Satan is something very terrible, always has been.
@@StargateStarling no he was originally a Seraphim , a member of the most high ranking angels until he rebelled and was cast down from Heaven.
@@fabianfollowerofchrist5299 Satan's a Dragon created by Lucifer. Mythology has Lucifer The Morning Star(A God) creating a Dragon called Satan. Satan was always pure evil even the bible plagiarized cuneiform texts made sure to add that in. Thats why he's always called the Dragon/Serpent.
@@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.

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.).
Your presentation and quality of work was spectacular. Keep it up. We need to be able to compete with these big, secular companies' quality of work!
Keep it up!
If you need a list of some great teachers of the WORD, I know of a few.
the ending gave me the biggest goosebumps in my life
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.
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.
Thank you for that revelation from our Protectors
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
Amen
How do we know bad serpent vs normal angel? :) as stated here, they look and talk the same. Do they feel the same?
I really didn't want this video to end.
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.

Negassi Tesfay Mekonenn Well, yeah. All depictions of Christ are just that, depictions. I’m Ethiopian, and in our icons, he looks Ethiopian. In Japanese icons, he looks Japanese. It’s not an issue.
the boi ruclips.net/video/rD5Qm-DfNGQ/видео.html
@@theboi553 The gospel of Jesus Christ is trans-cultural; Christ is Lord of all the earth and commissioned his disciples to make disciples of all nations. Thus, culturally appropriate depictions of Jesus are perfectly fine and healthy. Why some feel they need to make a big deal about it and think there must be some kind of magic ju-ju in how his name is pronounced, I have no idea. 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.
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!
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
Totally agree. Please stop ending your videos.
@@Chryogenetics lol
I've been in a Judaism class recently and we keep gravitating to the first few chapters of Genesis, this helps a lot with everything!

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.
Such a fantastic series! Really looking forward to the next one 🙂 God bless you mate.
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.
Woah! Just noticed you got 100K subscribers!!!!! Congratulations, IP!!! Thanks for making such great videos, you’ve helped me in so many ways. God bless!
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 enjoyed this immensely. Thank you so much for your research and attention to detail.
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?
This would align with the North American accounts and the story of The Book of Enoch.
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... I also find the comment sections on subject matter like this both amusing and frightening. Keep up the good work!
FINALLY!!
I’ve been looking for a video specifically covering this. Wow I’m so happy to have come upon this.
Thanks for making this.
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.
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.
Love your vids - thank you for biblical explanations for those who love to study philosophy and physics
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!!!
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!
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.
We will learn more today about the divine council. You will be the first to know.
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.
This being the first video you made solely focused on the devil I love the music choice

@@chike3485 repent
@@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.
@@chike3485 This interpretation is implausible:
1. Genesis 3B: The Fall
ruclips.net/video/e5rCktgBM64/видео.html
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”!
@@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?

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)

To the complainers in the comments : You can make your own video, with your own thoughts, and knowledge.
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]
@@inklingsofgod can you give an actual reason instead of using two scholars that happen to disagree with Walton. Also, cite your sources.

"Does the Bible teach a talking serpent actually existed?"
IP - "Yes, but actually no"
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.

Dharamveer Singh Gill the link is broken
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.
Great video. Excited for your thoughts on Genesis 3b.
I love when the bible is broken down like this, it make so much sense.
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.

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?
I read Genesis 3 for the first time today and this popped up.
Exelant video! Very informative, this truly brings so much to light... especially for us so called conspiracy theorists.
Unsure y u showed up on my home page, but I'm glad u did.
I couldn't help but become a subscriber to ur channel.
💕🕊💕
It would be nice to have Dr. Heiser on IP’s channel. We would probably hear some great topics between those two.
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.
@Brenton Rahm _"snakes did have legs..."_
Yes. And they still do... Thank you for the advise you left in this thread.
Great Video, good editing I really enjoy watching the content!~
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.
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
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.
Keep it up IP, great content!
Well done research 👍. Keep it up man.
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!
I’m glad this was helpful. Check out my channel for more if you have other questions.
When did he say it’s not satan didn’t he not reference Isaiah 6
Am i missing something
This doesn't explain what the Serpent said God admitted.They have become like US and God was terrified
@@brentedwards8798 There is nothing in Genesis 3 that implies that God was terrified about Adam and Eve:
1. Genesis 3B: The Fall
ruclips.net/video/e5rCktgBM64/видео.html
2. Blessing And Curse
ruclips.net/video/jQaeIJOA6J0/видео.html
@@animalcart4128 He was terrified because they might become like one of US.
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.
I have learned a lot from just reading some of the books that Michael quotes from. People like Heiser and Walton. And others. However I don't remember everything as Michael seems to do in some of his debates..he is blessed with an amazing knowledge and recall of the scriptures and important books. Good for us.
Interesting study.I'll have to watch your other videos too.
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.
A book for you dear if you have time please read it, I promise you one thing ones you understand what's written in the book, all the pieces to the puzzle of satan & GOD you will start to put together with ease.

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!!!!)
@@Rapture1987 They are born into it. I doubt they know better.
Excellent job my brother thank you so much!!!
This video is so informative and l have learned to think in a different way ! Thank you 🙏
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
What didn't Walton agree with?
Really informative video, thanks.
Excellent!! Really enjoyed the observations in Scripture. Really makes sense.
Thank you so much for sharing such high quality and deep investigations videos.
תודה רבה!
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
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
I always leave your videos with a new perspective.
Great interpretation. I learned a lot from it. Thank you for sharing.
A snake can only be a snake. A serpent can be many things.
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.
Awesome favorite new channel!!!
I love your channel👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
