- Was the serpent in the Garden of Eden a literal snake? Figures of speech in the Bible answer this question. The Hebrew word for snake, “nachash”, or shining one, also reveals the devil’s appearance. Through understanding the use of language, we learn that the Biblical account of the serpent in the Garden of Eden is an actual event and not a fable. The devil’s tactics then are the same he uses today.
Verses:
Gen. 3:1-4
2 Cor. 11:3,13,14
Teacher: John Schoenheit
In this teaching, John Schoenheit talks about the account of the serpent appearing to Eve in the Garden of Eden.

Thank you so much Sir John, for bringing out the root meaning of the scripture. I want to know your view again on... "If the serpent was actually a simile then why did God curse the real serpent in Genesis 3: 14"it's my humble request to please help us in understanding it more. Thank you sir!
I think this fits really well. Thanks John!
Another great teaching - thank you!
Ironically this appeared as a suggestion for me, right after I opened my Facebook where someone thought it was a literal snake. I was like... I don’t have the words to explain what I read and how I interpreted it.
I actually even had a conversation with God about how I don’t have the right words.
This is incredibly similar to how I interpreted it!!!
So happy it popped up for me! 🙌🏼
Thanks for sharing the video. I wish that it would have continued on into the he following scripture as well.
This is a good teaching, clear, compelling and reasonable. I believe the Bible uses figurative language and we complicate things when we insist on reading something in a wooden literal way. Your explanation makes more sense and is simply more plausible and more in line with the language usages you explained. Thank you for taking on this often challenging teaching.
Thanks for bringing E W Bullinger's work to video. Since the serpent is figurative wouldn't the tree and fruit be also?
what dis the fruit represent?
The fruit was literally fruit of knowledge of good and evil. Disobeying Yahweh's command brings death.
we were just talking this morning, about who is the serpent and the figurative word used. this video makes it more clearer to us...I agree with this teaching.
Ok if the serpnet was an implication? THE curse of hım (to going on his belly and eat the dust) what is implicated in that verse?
Thank you for making this video. Now it all makes sense, thank you john, God bless you and the while spirit and truth fellowship team.
A very, very intelligent and accurate teaching, Brother. Thank you very much!! ☺️ 💙
How was he there when he hadn’t fallen yet? Wasn’t he cast out after the angels were laying with humans?
This is real good teaching and there is a great famine for this type of teaching in alot of these places of worship. This is what the prosperity preachers (crooks) wont preach. I wonder why ?
Very interesting topic !!! Thanks for sharing :-) God bless you :-)
Why did God curse the snake and make it crawl on its belly after Adam and eve ate of the fruit
Interesting points; thanks. How might this tie in with Gen 3:14?
Two seeds established in the earth ; Cain and Abel would be a prime example when it comes to these two seeds. The genealogy of Jesus did not go through Cain.
Yes i also wonder what his take is on that. On Gen 3:14 it seems like he makes the adversary to a snake, that he transforms him into a snake. I also wonder if snakes was made before or was it when God cursed the adversary in the garden that we got what we now call a snake? But how can there be millions of snakes now?
Excellent teaching ! Thank you.
Thank you for your teachings; I enjoy and benefit from them. However, I have a question concerning this teaching. At about 18:30 of the video you used the Hebrew reference "Nachash" and made reference that it translated shining one or something to that effect. I cannot find any reference in the Hebrew Lexicon to that effect, Strongs H5175 states "a snake (from its hiss):-serpent. When I research snake Stongs H8207 and H7779 "a kind of serpent..." Neither reference your reference to Nachash as to shine. Dr. Heiser claims that the Hebrew root of "nachash" is the basis for a nonn, verb or adjective. Noun = serpent; verb = deceiver, or diviner; adjective = bronze or brazen with a bright shine - hence "shining one". I have been able to confirm the noun and verb reference but have not been able to confirm the accuracy of Heiser or Bullinger's claim of the adjective use and "shining". Can you provide a reference supporting this use; such as a Hebrew dictionary or Lexicon? If not how can you teach this.
Let me clarify - that I do not disagree with the teaching that the serpent was not a physical snake as we think of snakes or serpents, as you stated, that makes no sense. But I need the supporting evidence that the adjective form of nachash may be the reference. Thank you for your teachings and keep the faith my friend.
Hello Pastor...I wonder why God said Balaam's donkey talked to give warning? Is that a metaphor or hypocathantus or simile?
Just wondering😊
Rebuking the puke. Destroying the wicked. In Jesus' Name.
Thanks for the teaching. Kindly spell the hypoca.... Thanks
Why was the snake cursed because he Devil chose his form?
Awesome teaching
Very Good
How can satan be the serpent when satan trapped in hell after the fall of satan
He isn’t in hell yet, he will get chained up and thrown into the lake of fire at the end of the age, that’s why there’s so much evil in the world, because the devil is really mad about his sentence of an eternity in hell. Blessings in Christ
At first i thought`i won`t believe`but the explanation is very convincing.
