Hi Mike,

I’m a little confused. If seraphims are serpents, why are they not evil? You stated that they were once evil but are not any longer. Is this because they have forsaken ungodliness? I apologize if you need to go over anything we have covered already.

In Christ,

Hi M____,

I know this is a hard principle to accept, because it took a long time for me to accept it fully. Nevertheless, you will never “know God and Jesus Christ” (Joh 17:3), until you come to see that Christ, who is God’s Word (Joh 1:1) “creates evil” (Isa 45:7), “even the wicked men,” meaning you and me, “for the day of evil” within each of us, (Pro 16:4) and is thereby, dark on the side where we cannot see Him, and bright on the side on which He reveals Himself to us.

Exo 14:19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
Exo 14:20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.

That is all telling us that Christ’s words are “darkness to them” and “light to these.” What that tells us is this principle: Every single word of God has both a positive and a negative application. Every single word.
For example, the beast is the man of sin, and yet there are domesticated ‘beasts’ around the throne of God. Fowls of the air are evil spirits, and yet the holy spirit is a dove, etc.
The very same thing is true of the word ‘serpent.’ The fact there are seraphims around the very throne of God, tells us that even though we have all been “of our father the devil”, in the end even our father the devil will be destroyed as a the devil, and will become a seraphim around the throne of God crying “Holy, holy, holy.”
I hope this helps you to see that this is the positive application for the word ‘serpent.’ Far more important, I hope you now see that the cloud that is dark on one side and bright on the other is Christ’s spiritual words which make so much sense to those to whom the Father has given eyes to see and ears to hear, while at the same time being blinders to those who are not given “eyes to see or ears to hear the mysteries of the kingdom of God.”

Mat 13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
Mat 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Mat 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
Mat 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Mat 13:14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

So all the “mysteries of the kingdom of God” are literally hidden right out in the open, because it is not given to people to see that Christ and His Words are divinely revealed to the few chosen, while at the very same time being hidden from the many called but not chosen.

You ask:

If seraphims are serpents why are they not evil? You stated that they were once evil but are not any longer. Is this because they have forsaken ungodliness?

The answer is, yes, the “fire” of the lake of fire, purges all who are cast therein, and in due time “all will be saved and brought to a knowledge of God.”

1Ti 2:3 For this [ is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1Ti 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Php 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

These verses mean what they say, and “every knee will bow,” even the knees of Satan and His angels.
Your brother in Christ.
