In Part one we learned:
The Serpent in Genesis 3: A Symbol of the Carnal Mind
The serpent (H5175 nachash) is best understood not as a literal snake or supernatural being, but as a metaphor for the carnal mind—that part of human reasoning which subtly distorts truth and justifies disobedience (2Cor 11:3; Jer 17:9).
Described as “subtil” (H6175 aruwm), a word that can mean both wise and crafty, the serpent represents how human intellect can be used for self-justification and rebellion (Prov 14:8, 14:15).
Eve’s dialogue with the serpent symbolizes an internal debate—the mind’s reasoning process that ultimately rationalizes sin through exaggeration, distortion, and self-deception (Rom 7:18–23; James 1:14–15).
The curse on the serpent—crawling on its belly and eating dust—symbolizes the enslavement of the carnal mind to fleshly, earthly desires (Gen 3:14; Rom 8:6–8).
The enmity between the serpent’s seed and the woman’s seed (Gen 3:15) illustrates the spiritual battle between the self-centered, worldly mind and the Christ-centered, God-conscious heart (Rom 8:6–7; Gal 5:17).
