When Humans Become Snakes



Genesis 3 is probably the most famous serpent-featuring story in the Bible—the moment we get to see humans and the nahash interact for the first time. Because the serpent lures the humans into choosing their own demise, it’s also the moment Yahweh announces that the seed (descendant) of the serpent will remain a rival to the seed of the woman. In this episode, Tim and Jon discuss Genesis 3-4 and talk about what happens when humans themselves start to act like the chaos monster.

  1. What if one way to read the creation story is from the perspective of each individuals journey from material birth to spiritual life and rest in the Devine? See the early writings of Emanuel Swedenborg (just his early stuff as he goes off piste in his later writings)… in this scenario all entities and the creatures of creation dwell within us… personally I find this imagery quite powerful and most importantly I find it rings true… I believe every aspect of the physical world we live in has spiritual parallels and it is the spiritual that is permanent and real and the physical that is ephemeral… I look into my spiritual self and to my horror I can still find untamed dragons… just as everything in the tabernacle is in some way an element of Jesus, so to is every item of creation an element of self.

  2. To add to what I just posted. This passage in Jeremiah describes Gods people who have lost their way… the imagery is not dissimilar to the earth before creation don’t you think?

    Jeremiah 4:22-23 NKJV
    [22] "For My people are foolish, They have not known Me. They are silly children, And they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, But to do good they have no knowledge." [23] I beheld the earth, and indeed it was without form, and void; And the heavens, they had no light.

    Genesis 1:1-2 KJVS
    [1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. [2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

    And this one too

    Zechariah 12:1 KJVS
    The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.

  3. I like the format. I can do my chores and listen to my smart friends figure something "really deep" out. I love your interaction because my brain is interrupting with the same questions you guys adress. 💕🇨🇦

  4. Relationships between groups. Africans (Humans) vs. European & Eurasians (Non Full Human Neanderthal Descendants). Following the brutal ice age, that had personality consequences for those surviving under it, these cave dwelling groups came down and invaded the garden (Africa and its inhabited area just outside) and nothing but death and destruction has followed since. The essence of these groups are still the same today: death, war, violence, lies, deception, propaganda, wicked, shrewd, evil, rebellion, theft, moral-less, beastly, creaturely intelligent. They are the seed of Cain and build violent deadly cities wherever they go. It’s inherent within them. These venomous and violent snake groups have destroyed gods once good world that was known before their invasion, yet, they delude themselves and the
    world to make themselves seem like gods greatest gift to earth. They've even usurped the image of god thinking they are god and godlike themselves. The way of these snake groups = death.

  7. Listening to this makes me think the “snake” is the part of our mind , that “inner voice “ , that plants negative thoughts/sinful thoughts. And how we have to control that voice to do good in our lives vs following it down the rabbit hole of sin.

  8. Man I wish you TIM could see
    Sin One, the Snakes (the Decievers) Goal is to get Adims/Man to Not Follow YAHs Torah ie YAHs instructions.

    Shalom and hope to see you on the Sabbiths ONE day.

  9. I love this! I like how you said “the agents of the snakes.” I often call them agents of the dark. I like to do that because of the term dark arts, which is really evil, lame and misappropriating the word art. For example the art of the kill. So stupid, it takes my breathe away. The dark side really prevents art. It’s unbelievable, like the different levels perversions… vampire diaries, teenage witch and wizard schools for kids, how to train your dragon, etc… The writing is on the wall and people are just blind by this so called “art”.
    Great show guys! 🙏✝️🥷

  10. Words, words words….
    Can backwards is nac, (so the opposite of can) which leads me the word able. As Nac also could sound like Cain backwards.
    Maybe even Cain-Hatched like breaking.

    And since there is probably CURSEives in our SPELLings of these words, We need to be “Able bodied” spiritually and we need to be good for God and live, as the opposite of that is evil, closely resembles the word devil.

  12. Where do you get the idea of humans supposed to subdue and rule the animals and land and such? The only things that happen with Adam and Eve before the fall are that they are told to name the animals to find a partner for Adam and then they are both told not to eat of the tree. I don’t get where you got that from
