The ‘Serpent Ancient’ in Rev 12:9 and 20:2 was a Union of Adam and Satan in Gen 3:1 – 5 Part Two

In the article Satan was not a Slanderer Until Rev 12:12 – 13 Part One, we saw how 30 of 38 occurrences of the Greek diabolos (Strong’s G1228) that means ‘false accuser, slanderer, Devil’ are the Hebrew שטן that means ‘Satan, adversary’, causing many to believe the Satan is the Devil.

Only 7 of the 38 occurrences of diabolos are the Hebrew מלשין, used to describe people who are ‘slanderers, false accusers’ in 1 Tim 3:11, 2 Tim 3:3, Titus 2:3, and Rev 2:10, and Adam as a ‘slanderer, false accuser’ in Rev 12:9 and 20:2.

This seems to be a harmless mistranslation, except it has caused many to believe the Giver (aka Dragon) was the ‘serpent ancient’, named the Devil and Satan in Rev 12:9 & 20:2, when Adam was the serpent possessed by Satan in Gen 3:1 – 5.

Looking at the Hebrew text of Rev 12:9 and 20:2 below, we see two distinct parts.

• Rev 12:9 “Cast out יוטל the Giver the great, the serpent הנחש the beginning of הקדמוני leader אשר we call name them Slanderer מלשין and Satan ושטן that deceive המדיח world תבל all, himself that cast out toward earth and his angels his community that cast out them.”

• Rev 20:2 “Laid hold union with the Giver, union with את the serpent הנחש the start of הקדמוני, self הוא the Slanderer המלשין and self והוא the Satan השטן, and bound him for many years.”

One part describes action taken against the Giver (aka the Dragon) to remove him and his angels from heaven in Rev 12:9, and laying hold of him and binding him for many years in Rev 20:2.

The other part (underlined in the verses above) describe the serpent, as ‘the beginning of’ in both Rev 12:9 & 20:2, and as “leader אשר we call name them Slanderer מלשין and Satan ושטן that deceive המדיח world תבל all” in Rev 12:9, the “union with את the serpent הנחש the start of הקדמוני, self הוא the Slanderer המלשין and self והוא the Satan השטן” in Rev 20:2.

The Serpent was the beginning of Satan’s Control Network of which leaders, who are Slanderers, are an integral component.

In Rev 12:9 & 20:2, the serpent is ‘the beginning of’ הקדמוני. [The suffix ונ indicates diminutive, and yod means ‘of’ or ‘my’.]  The Hebrew קדם (Strong’s H6924 87 occurrences) means ‘front, east’, not in the sense of ‘east’ as direction, but ‘first, beginning’ in Gen 2:8 & 3:24. The Hebrew קדמה (Strong’s H6926 4 occurrences), in the form קדמת in Gen 2:14 means ‘beginning of’, and קדמה (Strong’s H6927 6 occurrences) means ‘beginning/former state’.

The “beginning of Assyria” in Gen 2:14 is the corruption of Adam from drinking the waters of the deep in Ezekiel 31:2 – 9. Assyria אשור is the personification of ashur אשר (Strong’s H833) that means ‘leader, guide’.

The Hebrew אשר is often translated ‘who, which, what, that’ (Strong’s H834), covering up the important role leaders play in Satan’s control network. It is translated ‘who’ in Rev 12:9, disguising that the serpent was a leader named Slanderer, and translated ‘that’ in Ezekiel 31:10, disguising the fact that a leader was exalted in stature.

In Ezek 31: 10 – 11 “Because יען leader אשר was exalted גבהת in stature בקומה, and had set ויתן his top צמרתו god אל space between בין clouds עבותים, and haughty ורם his heart לבבו in his exaltedness בגבהו. And I put in the hand of mighty איל nations גוים, make him עשו will towards make יעשה to them לו as wicked him כרשעו drove him out גרשתהו.

In Gen 3:22 – 24 “Yahweh gods said ‘Behold the Adam has become as one apart כאחד Mamon him ממנו, to know of good and bad, and now lest he stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life and consume and live forever’. And sent him, Yahweh gods, from garden Eden to serve union with את the ground leader אשר taken from named משם. And drove out גרש union with את the Adam, and will dwell from beginning to garden of Eden union with את the cherubim and union with את flaming the sword the whirling to guard union with את the way counsel the life of them.”

From the beginning of time there were two choices, to form a union with Satan, consuming his Mamon, and knowing/experiencing good and bad, or form a union with the angel of Yahweh, who was sent in the flesh to show us Yahweh’s glory John 1:1 – 3 & 14, who rose to Yahweh’s right hand to rule with those he had saved from out of the world from the beginning of time.

Next, we will look at How Satan Became a Slanderer in Rev 12:12 – 13 in Part Three.
