Pastor Matt Hagee – “Mercy in the Midst of Judgement, Part 2: The Symbolism of the Serpent”

Moses writes about the serpent in Genesis, based on the time he spent with God on Mt. Sinai. The children of Israel previously practiced passing down their history orally. When they left the polytheistic lifestyle celebrated in Egypt, they decided to start recording events. One of the Egyptian religions worshipped a cobra. When Moses’ serpent (symbolizing power) destroyed the others, God was demonstrating to Israel that He was the only God. Why did the serpent approach Eve in the Garden? She received the information from Adam, second hand. Do you understand the symbolism of the serpent in the Garden?
