I just learned what the "serpent" in Eden actually was (and it makes so much sense now) 😳

I always wondered why Eve wasn't completely freaked out by a talking garden snake. It never made sense to me. But I was looking into the original Hebrew word used in Genesis 3—Nachash. It doesn't just mean a literal snake. It can be translated as a "shining one." Ancient scholars understood this to be a rebellious, serpentine divine being—a stunningly beautiful, glowing angelic creature. The enemy didn't show up slithering in the dirt; he showed up in dazzling, deceptive glory. No wonder she listened to him. We’ve turned the spiritual war into a children's fairy tale. Recognizing how beautiful and intelligent deception can be makes me realize how desperately I need God's discernment every single day. #Genesis3 #SpiritualWarfare #BibleTruth #Nachash #Discernment
