I can go with either one, as the Dragon is also called the serpent in the NT book of Revelation

Blue Letter Bible - Lexicon
"serpent dragon"

http://www.olivetree.com/cgi-bin/EnglishBible.htm

KJV) 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. {piercing: or, crossing like a bar}

KJV) Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world:
he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

KJV) Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

one other thought I had on this serpent,
as I look at it first thought was Jesus feet on his head , but now I also see how the serpent or enemy weezles or worms his way into our lives and it could also show how the enemy just never seems to give up , BUT!!! because of the cross and the shed blood of Christ, we too can put our feet on his head

Hey where da pic be at ? I don't see it anywhere ...

... and although I didn't read every post of this thread, I was curious if anyone mentioned that Jesus is compared to a serpent as well ... the serpent that heals those who were bitten by the venomous serpents.

Out of all the "names" and symbols of Jesus, comparing him to the bronze serpent of Moses is one of the most interesting I think.

The serpent's head is "bruised" as promised in Genesis by God, by the only One Who could give that serpent a "death blow". The laws that condemned man were nailed to the cross right along with Jesus, putting an end to the condemnation, for by Him, we are free of it, and death, and sin, and that old accuser, Satan. Jesus clobbered all of them on the cross, praise God.

Grace reigns.

Good post brin!

Lazarus and the Rich Man - Here a little, there a little - Commentary

John 5:45 "No be ye supposing that I shall be accusing ye toward the Father, is the one accusing of ye, Moses into whom ye have hoped"
[Reve 12:10]

Reve 12:10 And I hear great voice in the Heaven saying "now became the salvation and the power and the Kingdom of the God of us, and the authority of the Christ of Him,
that was cast the Accuser of the brothers of us, the one accusing them in sight of the God of us day and night. "
[John 5:45/Acts 25:11]

the picture I see is beautiful. leviathan is a serpent. Christ is the serpent. I see a marriage.

it reminds me of when God steps on a thorn and it stabs into his foot and it saves leviathan. burn away me O Lord to save me consuming fire! and step on me the thorn so I can become inside you God! so that my nature is transmuted even though it looks like it injures God. i'm the wood, i'm the curse. Christ became the curse, i'm free i'm not a curse. curse and blessing is a lie, there is only blessing with God. i was a lie, Christ sets me free.

i'm leviathan because Christ was first leviathan. and christ is behemoth and I will become behemoth too, they are the same creature because they are married. they are one creature and they bring about the end of this world of darkness. the saints are behemoth, behemoth is a 1000 cattle on the hills on the east side of the garden of eden. i'm of the worse sinners, I came from tarturus. God made me pure, i will have my eyes of fire back, I will have my scales which are all shields of YHVH. mankind does not deceive his elect, i will be called "his elect". i will teach you the true meaning of what pride is and who is the king of pride but Christ himself? he is King of kings and Lord of lords and God of gods.

the behemoth is manifest as a good creature of God because it drinks the river of jordan, the river of jordan is Christ. so behemoth and leviathan are to me the closest "angelic" beings and they feed off of Christ and God. they become like cherubim seraphim and thrones. like the lake of fire are they. but human beings are blind but I utter mysteries and humans think they can grasp/ they turn my words into idols. or worse!

this is one of the most amazing things that i know of in the bible. standing side by side with song of songs in my heart. this proves the love that God has for all. but the hard hearts of men love to drink the nile river.

Isa 27:1-13 (YLT)
In that day lay a charge doth Jehovah, With his sword--the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan--a fleeing serpent, And on leviathan--a crooked serpent, And He hath slain the dragon that is in the sea. In that day, `A desirable vineyard,' respond ye to her, I, Jehovah, am its keeper, every moment I water it, Lest any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep it! Fury is not in Me; Who giveth Me a brier--a thorn in battle? I step into it, I burn it at once. Or--he doth take hold on My strength, He doth make peace with Me, Peace he doth make with Me. Those coming in He causeth to take root, Jacob doth blossom, and flourished hath Israel, And they have filled the face of the world with increase. As the smiting of his smiter hath He smitten him? As the slaying of his slain doth He slay? In measure, in sending it forth, thou strivest with it, He hath taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an east wind, Therefore by this is the iniquity of Jacob covered, And this is all the fruit--To take away his sin, in His setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They rise not--shrines and images. For the fenced city is alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There doth the calf delight, And there it lieth down, And hath consumed its branches. In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in setting it on fire, For it is not a people of understanding, Therefore pity it not doth its Maker, And its Former doth not favour it. And it hath come to pass, in that day, Beat out doth Jehovah from the branch of the river, Unto the stream of Egypt, And ye are gathered one by one, O sons of Israel. And it hath come to pass, in that day, It is blown with a great trumpet, And come in have those perishing in the land of Asshur, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to Jehovah, In the holy mount--in Jerusalem!


forsake this world and its understanding. this world is fading away. only God is good and God is love.

Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up
(John 3:14)

If the serpent represents satan its pretty messed up for the 4th Evangelist to use the words "lifted up" if it is referring to satan, no?

Another way to interpret lifted up is, "placed on high".

I agree. And it IS significant that His feet are above the serpents head...it fits right in with scripture.

Thks for all the above posts.
That picture still fascinates me to this day.........

Isa 42:9
The former things, lo, have come, And new things I am declaring, Before they spring up I cause you to hear.
sa 65:17
For, lo, I am creating new heavens, and a new earth, And the former things are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the heart.

Colossians 2:14
Rubbing-out/exaleiyaV <1813> the against us handwriting to the decrees/dogmasin <1378>which was hostile to us, and has taken away out of the midst,
nailing it to the stauros/Cross/stake
.

Revelation 21:4
And He shall be wiping-away/exaleiyei <1813> every tear out of the eyes of them,
and the death not shall be still, neither mourning neither clamor neither misery, not it shall be still,
that the former things pass away/aphlqon <565> (5627).
