Tracing the Symbolism of the Snake through Scripture SERIES: The Ancient Serpent

--The Ancient Serpent--

 

"We need help in our battle against the “ancient serpent.”

Fortunately, from the very beginning, God has promised us a Savior: speaking to the serpent in the Garden, God says, “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel” (Genesis 3:15).

God promised that the Seed of the woman would crush the serpent’s head—a prophecy that the virgin-born Son of God would win a decisive victory over the power of the devil.

--Jesus said that He had come to save us all from the serpent’s bite: “Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him” (John 3:14–15; cf. Numbers 21:6–9)."
