> I'd never considered those things put together before, Lou. The serpent I knew was symbolic of Satan ... but the aspect of dust is a new revelation to me. And yet, I've definitely come to believe that he seeks to destroy through deception... particularly for those who are redeemed, all he can do to them is to deceive... and once we believe his lies, and that lie becomes our "truth", we will be controlled by that lie, until our minds are renewed by Truth.

Dena,
You wrote,[...through deception...controlled by...renewed by...each one is revealed...replaced with...the life...].
The book called The Revelation brings in the symbols of the devil as a serpent. A Jew versed in their scriptures could be led to the book called Genesis and in the 3erd chapter, and I like the King James here, we read starting in verse 1, [...Now the serpent was more subtle than any {beast} of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?...]
And in verse 2,[...And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden...]
And in verse 3,[...But the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die...]
And in verse 4,[...And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die...]
It has been revealed to me that the serpent, the devil, Satan, uses deceit to cause death. For Adam and Eve died. It has been revealed to me that the serpent is a murderer, even from the beginning, by planting lies into the minds of men. It has been revealed to me that in the garden, we see the first lie when the serpent said to Eve,{..You shall not surely die...]. And in the garden the serpent said to Eve, [...Yea hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?...]. It has been revealed to me that the serpent also uses doubt about what God says in the minds of men. "Yea hath God said?"
In the book called The Revelation we read that those that overcome could eat of the tree of life that is in the midst of the Paradise of God. It has been revealed that in the beginning was the word of God. And that the word was with God. And the Word was God. It has been revealed to me that the tree of life that Adam and Eve were not allowed to partake of was The Word of God, with God in the beginning and those that eat of that tree could have the {Life} of God..
Yea hath God said? It has been revealed to me that Adam and Eve left the garden being with an illness that would lead to death, for they did not eat of the tree of life and could die. And as I stood on the sand seeing, the beast come out of the sea, I saw death. Then the Rider said to me, "Fear not, for to you that fear My name, The Sun of Rightiousness shall arise with healing in His wings."
Lou
