You goys are really missing out on some deep awesome Scriptural truths and lessons. Even if you still want to believe in devils and demons, there is still more to learn.
I’m so glad Yahweh showed me more than where 2SL leaves us. If you care to flex your spiritual muscles and learn some new things, you know where to find me. We are finally in the Devil episodes, which here at EFR we didn’t even get past episode 4 of 6 on the SERPENT verses! And I’m on Youtube now!

In Episode 7, we began our deep dive into the term “devil” (G1228 – diabolos) by first examining its four Old Testament occurrences (translated from Hebrew words like shêdîm and sa‘îr), found in Leviticus 17:7, Deuteronomy 32:17, 2Chronicles 11:15, and Psalm 106:37. These verses reveal that “devils” in the OT refer not to a literal being, but to idols, demons, and false gods—objects of corrupt worship, often associated with blood sacrifices, goat idols, and foreign nations. There is no trace of a fallen angel or supernatural Satan here—only apostasy and idolatry.
We then addressed the King of Tyre in Ezekiel 28 and “Lucifer” in Isaiah 14, two passages often twisted into support for a devil doctrine. But both are clearly describing human rulers—the proud kings of Tyre and Babylon—who exalted themselves as gods but were judged and brought low. The fall “from heaven” is symbolic of political downfall and humiliation, not the biography of a fallen angel.
Finally, we began the New Testament portion with Matthew 4:1–11, where Jesus is tempted in the wilderness by “the devil.” This was shown not as an encounter with a red-horned spirit, but as a symbolic confrontation with the adversarial voices of the religious elite—Pharisees, Sadducees, and Herodians—who would later challenge Him with these same temptations: to prove Himself, to misuse Scripture, and to pursue power by compromising truth. Jesus resists each with Scripture, modeling obedience and discernment.
In episode 6, in Revelation, the serpent (G3789, ophis) is not a literal beast, but a powerful symbol for religious deception⛪, political corruption👑, and carnal opposition🧠 to God’s Kingdom. Revelation 9:19 reveals “tails like serpents” with heads—representing false leaders whose lies and doctrines harm the nations. Revelation 12 unveils the serpent/dragon/devil/satan as corrupt systems that persecute God’s people through propaganda📺 and institutional control🎓. Revelation 20 shows this adversarial influence🔯 being restrained🔒 for 1,000 years⛓️—fulfilled historically during the Christian dominance of the Holy Roman Empire. But that serpent has since been “loosed” through banking💰, modern media📰, political subversion🤝, religious compromise⛪, and false spiritual illumination💩.
The serpent in Revelation exposes the deeper battle—not just between armies, but between truth and lies, between God’s people and counterfeit systems dressed in light. Whether Pharisaic priestcraft, Papal power, Islam, or Jewdeo-Churchianity, the serpent works through deception. But God has always preserved a remnant—those with eyes to see.
🔁 Episodes 1–6 Recap: What Is the Serpent🐍, Really?
From Genesis to Revelation, we’ve uncovered that the serpent is never a literal supernatural being—but a symbol of:
• 🧠Carnal reasoning (Genesis 3 – Eve’s self-justification and rebellion)
• ⛪False doctrine (Matthew 7 – fish replaced with a serpent)
• 🔯Crafty religious leadership (Matthew 23 – Pharisees as a brood of vipers)
• 💡Luciferian “light” masquerading as truth (2Corinthians 11 – deception through corrupted doctrine)
• 🌎Oppressive systems and empires (Isaiah, Revelation – Egypt, Rome, Islam, modern globalism)
The serpent is:
• A spiritual mindset that opposes God’s command
• A false religious system that twists truth
• A political and economic power that bites, devours, and deceives
• A human adversary or corrupt teacher who leads others astray
• A judgment from God upon those who reject truth
Each serpent passage teaches us more—not less—about sin, rebellion, and personal responsibility. You don’t need a literal devil to see the danger. All you need is a heart that will listen.
