THE SERPENT


WHILE LISTENING TO A RECENT INTERVIEW ON A RADIO BROADCAST. THE TWO PERSONS AGREEDED THAT NEITHER KNEW WHY GOD WOULD USE A SERPENT AS A SIMILITUDE FOR JESUS. THE SERPENT THEY WERE REFERING TO WAS THE BRASS SERPENT THAT MOSES PLACED UPON A POLE.

JESUS ALSO CLEARLY REFERS TO THIS AS A SIMILITUDE BETWEEN THE HIMSELF AND THE BRASS SERPENT.

JOHN 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

I HOLD THAT THE WORD OF GOD IS AN ABSOLUTE TRUTH. IT IS SOMETHING THAT EXISTS. WITH PURPOSE. TOTALY DEFINABLE, WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF THE ABILITY OF HUMAN UNDERSTANDING. TRUTH IS ALSO DOUBLED WHEN ESTABLISHED BY GOD.

ONE TRUTH STATED IN JOHN 3:14 IS WHEN JESUS IS LIFTED UP. HE IS AS A SERPENT.

MOSES' ROD WHEN IT WAS CAST DOWN, ALSO BECAME A SERPENT. THE DAY JESUS WAS LIFTED UP, UPON A CROSS. HE WAS ALSO CAST DOWN. AS JESUS IS LIKENED UNTO THE ROD, SO THIS ALSO BECOMES A SERPENT.

MATTHEW 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

HERE IN MATTHEW 25:41 JESUS IS TALKING TO THE ANGELS.

REVELATION 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

HERE IS THE FIRE AND THE BRIMSTONE, THE ANGELS ARE HOLY, AND THE DEVIL IS CALLED THE LAMB.

JEREMIAH 23:29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord;

ISAIAH 30:33 For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.

REVELATION 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

JESUS ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BE TAKEN AND AFFLICTED. JESUS HAD THE SINS OF THE WORLD UPON HIMSELF, GREAT WRATH WAS PART OF THOSE SINS. AND JESUS KNEW HE HAD BUT A SHORT TIME. FOR DEATH LAY BEFORE HIM.


REVELATION 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

12:15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.


I THINK IT IS ACCEPTED THAT THE WOMAN IS ISRAEL OR THE JEWISH NATION. JESUS CAST LIVING WATER OUT UNTO THE JEWISH NATION. BUT HIS FACE THEY CAN'T SEE. NOT YET. THEY HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. WHICH THEY BEAR WITNESS OF. THEY KEPT THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD BY FULFILLING THEIR PART OF SCRIPTURE.

JOB 39:6 Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.

THE WILDERNESS, WHERE JESUS WAS CARRIED IN THE SRIRIT TO. FOR THE TEMPTATION WAS THE DAY OF THE CROSS. THE WILDERNESS IS THE HOUSE OF GOD. JESUS CHRIST BY NAME. WHEN JESUS TOLD THE JEWISH NATION. BEHOLD YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATE. HE IS THEIR HOUSE. HE STILL IS DESOLATE TO THE JEWISH NATION.

MATTHEW 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

TO PARAPHRASE THIS CONVERSATION.

GOD SPEAKING TO JESUS: "IF YOUR THE SON OF GOD. FULFILL THE SCRIPTURES. THAT YOU AS THE WORD OF GOD BECOME THE BREAD OF LIFE.

JESUS ANSWERS: I ALONE AS BREAD CANNOT FULFILL SCRIPTURE. EVERY WORD MUST BE FULFILLED. OTHERS MUST ALSO FULFILL THEIR PART. JUDAS HAS A PART, THE RULERS, ETC.

GOD SPEAKING, THE HIGH PINNICLE IS THE POSITION OF POWER JESUS HAS OVER THE WORLD. ALSO IT IS LIKENED TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES: YOU MUST CAST YOURSELF DOWN FROM BEING THE SON OF GOD IN RESPECT TO ALLOWING THE ANGELS. OR THE BAND OF MEN COMING TO TAKE YOU. AND THE RULERS AND PRIESTS TO AFFLICT YOU AS A MAN. AND TO BEAR YOU UP IN THEIR HANDS. UPON A CROSS.

JESUS SPEAKING: I WILL DO IT. I WILL NOT TEMPT YOU BY NOT GOING THRU WITH IT.

GOD SPEAKING: EVERYTHING WILL BE YOURS IF YOU FALL DOWN, WORSHIPING ME BY TRUSTING. ALLOWING YOURSELF TO DIE ON THE CROSS. IF YOU ARE WILLING TO GO THRU WITH ALL THIS. I MUST THIS DAY DEPART FROM YOU. AS THE SINS OF THE WORLD WILL COME UPON YOU. AS SCRIPTURE SAYS I CANNOT LOOK UPON INIQUITY. YOU WILL BE GOD THIS DAY. AS A THOUSAND YEAR REIGN. ALSO AS A THOUSAND YEARS BEING BOUND BY A CHAIN. A CHAIN OF EVENTS WHICH MUST BE FULFILLED TO THE LETTER. WHEN YOU CALL UPON ME I WILL ANSWER YOU. WITH SILENCE. YOU WILL REIGN THIS DAY, AS THOSE ALSO WILL REIGN AS YOU ARE IN THEIR HANDS.

JESUS SPEAKING: GET THEE HENCE. GO AWAY FROM ME SO THAT YOU DON'T LOOK UPON INIQUITY. THY WILL BE DONE.

HABAKKUK 1:13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?


ZECHARIAH 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.


THE MOUNT CLEAVES. THE HOLY MOUNT= GOD AND JESUS. GOD TURNS HIS BACK AND LEAVES JESUS WITH THE WORLD. JESUS PUTS HIMSELF IN THE ANGELS' ( JEWS ) HANDS. GOD AND JESUS CLEAVE TO THE EAST AND WEST. GOD TO THE NORTH (HEAVEN). JESUS TO THE SOUTH (HELL).


1 PETER 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

I DON'T THINK I NEED TO EXPLAIN THE LION SIMILITUDE OF JESUS. BUT THE ROARING AND DEVOURING.

ISAIAH 42:13 The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.

42:14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.


JOHN 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.


JESUS CLEARLY STATED ONE FATHER EXISTS. JESUS DIDN'T MAKE TWO FATHERS BY STATING THEIR FATHER WAS THE DEVIL. THE WORDS ARE AN ABSOLUTE. BOTH NAMES APPLY TO GOD.

MATTHEW 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

PSALM 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

THE BEGINNING STARTED AT JESUS'S DEATH.

ISAIAH 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

JESUS DECLARED THE END.

JOHN 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

GOD HAS JUST OFFERED HIS SON FOR A SACRAFICE. BY LAW A MURDERER (FROM THE BEGINING). NO TRUTH IN HIM. BECAUSE ALL MUST BE FULFILLED BEFORE THE WORD BECOMES TRUTH. NO JOT OR TITLE MAY PASS FROM THE LAW UNTIL ALL IS FULFILLED.

FATHER OF LIES. IF GOD WERE CALLED THE FATHER OF PROMISES, THERE WOULD BE LITTLE ARGUMENT. A PROMISE, PROPHECY, COVENANT, ETC. IS A LIE UNTIL IT IS FULFILLED.

JESUS SAID ANYTHING MORE THEN YEA YEA, NAY NAY COMETH OF EVIL. THIS IS WHY. IT NOT YET BEING FULFILLED CAN'T BE CLASSIFIED AS THE TRUTH. BUT GOD CLASSIFIES IT AS A LIE..

AT THIS POINT IN TIME, HE IS NOT ABIDING IN TRUTH.

ISAIAH 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

ISAIAH 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. ISAIAH 28:17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

UNDER FALSEHOOD HAVE WE HID OURSELVES. YES, UNDER THE BIGGEST PROMISE OR LIE (BEFORE BEING FULFILLED) A SAVIOUR, CHRIST JESUS. BECAUSE HE WAS BELIEVED UPON. GOD SET THAT FOUNDATION IN ZION. NOW THE HAIL SWEEPS AWAY THE REFUGE OF LIES. YES, BECAUSE THE HAIL FULFILLS GOD'S TRUTH. CHANGING A REFUGE OF LIES, INTO A REFUGE OF TRUTH.

PSALMS 18:12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

PSALMS 18:13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

MATTHEW 28:9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

HAIL, TO THE STONES (THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW HIM) AND THOSE THAT DO. (COALS OF FIRE)

THE KORAN OR QURAN SAYS THOSE THAT PREACH THAT ALLAH WOULD BEGET A SON, PREACH A MONSTROUS FALSEHOOD. FALSEHOOD YES, MONSTROUS YES. A LIE OF GIGANTIC PREPORTION. IN THE KORAN, THEY ALSO SEE A MONSTER COMING OUT OF THE EARTH. MARY THOUGHT HE WAS THE GARDNER.

JESUS SAIS IF THE DISCIPLES HELD THEIR PEACH, THE STONES WOULD CRY OUT. THE DAY OF THE CROSS, THE DISCIPLES DID HOLD THEIR PEACE. AND THE STONES CRIED OUT "CRUCIFY HIM".

2SAMUEL 22:7 In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

2SAMUEL 22:8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.

2SAMUEL 22:9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

2SAMUEL 22:13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.

NOTICE THE SIMULARITY IN PSALM 18:12 BRIGHTNESS BEFORE HIM.

JOHN 20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

NOW JESUS IGNITES THE HOLY SPIRIT IN PEOPLE, AND THEY BECOME AS COALS OF FIRE.

JOB 41:19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

JOB 41:20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

JOB 41:21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.


THESE VERSES IN JOB, ALSO REFER TO THE SAME THING. JESUS GIVING THE HOLY SPIRIT. HERE HE IS REFERED TO AS LEVIATHAN. OR ALSO KNOWN AS THE CROOKED SERPENT.

ISAIAH 27:1 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

YES JESUS WAS PUNISHED THAT DAY, BY GOD'S WORD. THE GATHERING OF WATER (PEOPLE) WAS CALLED SEAS.

THIS CAN GO ON AND ON. GOD ISN'T SO FAR AWAY THAT WE CAN'T ASK HIM TO SHOW US THE TRUTH.

THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS WERE SEPERATED THE DAY OF THE CROSS. BUT THE GATHERING TOGETHER WAS AFTER THAT. ALL ARE GATHERED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, SO HE DIES FOR ALL. ALL NOW SAVED BY GRACE, NONE BY WORKS OR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

MARK 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
