Description

A venomous serpent fills the frame, its scaled head thrust forward with a sharp fang exposed and a fixed, predatory eye. The close composition turns the snake into a direct symbol of spiritual danger: the tempter who deceives, accuses, and opposes the purposes of God. In biblical imagery, the serpent recalls Genesis, where temptation enters Eden through cunning speech, and Revelation, where “that ancient serpent” is identified as the devil and Satan and is finally restrained by divine authority. The artwork is suited for teaching on temptation, deception, spiritual warfare, the fall of humanity, and Christ’s ultimate victory over evil.

Scriptures	Genesis 3:1-6 Genesis 3:14-15 Revelation 12:9 Revelation 20:1-3 Genesis 3 1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Genesis 3 14 The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” Revelation 12 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. Revelation 20 1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. 2 And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3 and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.
