All the symbols and emblems for modern medicine have one thing in common : a serpent .
Some , like the Caduceus , have two serpents around a staff , while others , like the rod of Asclepius , have only one serpent .
There are various interpretations as to the difference in meaning between the two , as well as the history of their origins , but the oldest reference to the serpent and its role in human suffering or healing , is contained in the earliest records of the Bible , in the writings of Moses , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first 5 books of the Old Testament portion of the Bible around 3500 years ago .
Since these writings pre-date anything written in Greek mythology by almost 1000 years , I am going to base this article on the Bible , the oldest and the most widely circulated and most frequently translated collection of ancient writings in the world , by far , with no serious competitors in ancient or modern literature .
If that bothers you , no need to read further .
We will see from the ancient wisdom of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the ultimate anti-Christ , that he is weaker than Jesus Christ who is portrayed in the Bible as both the Son of Man and the Son of God , and that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ broke the power of Satan over sickness and death .
Satan has yet to be judged and sent to his eternal punishment in a place called Hell , and there awaits a final battle between Jesus Christ , the ruler of the Kingdom of God , and Satan , the current ruler of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ originates in Heaven , but also extends to earth and exists in the lives of the true believers of Jesus Christ .
In addition to the physical world , there exists a spiritual world ( or universe ) , and every living human being currently inhabiting the planet either resides in the spiritual Kingdom of Darkness ruled by Satan , or in the spiritual Kingdom of Light ruled by Jesus Christ .
( For more on this topic , see : Re-Creation : The Rebirth . )
Revelations Chapter 13 talks about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where “ beast ” could also be translated into the English word “ serpent.
” I am not going to delve into the controversial topics of prophecy or theology in this article .
Instead , I am going to show just what the image of the “ serpent ” represents , its place in modern medicine , and how if one wants to resist being part of the Satanic system that may require everyone to accept some kind of “ mark , ” then you are probably going to need to prepare yourself @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I realize that we have been conditioned to believe that we can not survive without pharmaceutical drugs and the medical system , but I assure you it is possible .
I have not used the medical system in many years , and have not carried health insurance ( by choice ) for over 20 years , and I have survived !
It is my belief after many years of research and teaching on this subject , that for every patented pharmaceutical drug making billions of dollars for the medical system , that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ found in nature that are actually more effective , especially if we stop believing in the allopathic germ-theory of disease , and realize that health is much more than just the condition of our physical bodies .
From the earliest record in the Bible in the opening chapters of the book of Genesis , to the closing chapters in the last book of the Bible , the book of Revelations , the serpent is identified as Satan , or the Devil .
He first appears in the 3rd chapter of Genesis , where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ results in sin entering the human race .
One of the key passages of this chapter is verses 14 and 15 , which basically lays out a prophetic blueprint for human history , and the cosmic struggle between good and evil : The key event in human history that saw the culmination of this prophecy , was the death of Jesus Christ on the cross , and his triumphal rising from the dead and walking out of the grave , defeating the power of sin and death that the serpent caused in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ best summaries of this event is found in the letter that the apostle Peter wrote : But this was not yet the end of Satan .
To understand the events unfolding before us today , we need to review the history of the seed of the woman , and the seed of the serpent .
One of the next places we see the serpent appear is in the Bible is in the life of Moses .
The “ seed of the woman ” is traced through the Patriarch Abraham , the father of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ famine God had led Abraham ’ s descendants , the Hebrew people , to take up residence in Egypt .
There they became too numerous and were seen as a threat to the Egyptian culture , and we see one of the first recorded instances of infanticide , the destruction of children being born to the Hebrew women .
This will become a common theme throughout human history , as Satan works hard to reduce human population by killing children .
Moses was spared being killed and was actually raised in the royal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Egypt for trying to deliver the Hebrews .
He spends 40 years in the wilderness where he settled down , got married , and started raising his family .
But the time had come for God to deliver his people from the oppression of the Egyptians , and he chose Moses to lead them , by appearing to him in a burning bush that did not burn up .
Moses is reluctant and fearful .
Satan is thoroughly entrenched in Egyptian culture by this time , and a common shepherd like Moses figured @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to lead a revolution , so God gave him some help .
Here we have the rod of Moses that miraculously turns into a serpent at the command of God .
It was something the magicians of Pharaoh , King of Egypt , also had the power to do .
But God was clearly demonstrating his power over Satan , and changing the course of human history .
As the story unfolds in the Book of Exodus , Moses continues to perform miracles where plagues afflicted the Egyptians who were under the domain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the first-born of all the Egyptians died while none of the first-born among the Hebrews died during what was called “ The Passover , ” the Hebrews looted the wealth of the Egyptians and took off for the desert .
In the desert God gave them the Law , represented by the Ten Commandments , in order to start a new life as God ’ s chosen people , freed from the bondage of Satan .
But the slave mentality was thoroughly entrenched in these Hebrews who grew up in Egypt , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of God inflicting plagues against their enemies the Egyptians , they complained to God about their condition in the desert , which leads us to the next occurrence of Satan being represented in the image of the serpent , and the roots to that symbol in modern medicine .
This passage has been greatly misinterpreted throughout history , because most of the medical images you see today , such as the Caduceus or the rod of Asclepius , really have their origins from this historical event .
Modern medicine views the image of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ curative , or medical properties .
But a bronze snake hanging from what this English translation I chose says “ pole , ” which in the original language is some kind of “ standard ” or “ banner , ” is not what cured the people .
It was their “ looking ” to it , presumably in faith that God would do what he said he would do , which was to heal them .
God healed them , not an inanimate man-made metal object fashioned in the image of a snake @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the serpent in Genesis 3 : “ Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals !
You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.
” By lifting an image of the serpent high up into the air , God was signifying his power over the serpent , just as the staff of Moses and Aaron also did , when it became a serpent and consumed the serpents of Pharaoh ’ s magicians .
It was a symbol of defeat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where he himself could not go .
It took me a while to locate an artist ’ s interpretation of this that I believed was close to what really happened , like the one above that is at the beginning of this section .
Because most of the images of Moses and the bronze serpent lifted up in the desert had something more similar to a living snake slithering up a pole , as we see in the medical symbols , suggesting that the serpent had power to do this on his own @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reality had to display a dead snake , not a live one , so some kind of cross beam was necessary to drape the image of the dead snake over it , making the “ pole ” probably look more like a cross .
Also , we find out later that this remedy for the Hebrews in the desert was apparently specific to that time and place in history , before they entered the “ Promised land.
” The bronze serpent was kept for several generations after they left the desert , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what it was originally intended , representing some kind of demon that was named Nehushtan .
This is recorded during the days of King Hezekiah , who was a good king and led the people back to worshiping God instead of demonic images , which included the bronze serpent crafted during the days of Moses in the desert .
The name “ Nehushtan ” is only used here , and its history is not known .
The etymology of the Hebrew word means “ bronze ” or possibly a derivation of the Hebrew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was definitely a proper noun referring to some entity , probably demonic .
The bronze serpent that God had the Hebrews construct was a symbol of Satan ’ s defeat , not his curative powers .
Only God heals , and he clearly demonstrated that when he delivered the Hebrews from Egypt , by inflicting plagues on the people of Satan , while the people of God were not affected .
Jesus Replaced the Serpent in the Desert for Healing But if there was ever any doubt as to the meaning of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the words of Jesus erase all doubt : Therefore , the use of the image of a serpent to represent healing is in direct contradiction to the words of God and of Jesus .
The image in the desert was a sign of the defeat of Satan , but that sign was ultimately fulfilled in the death and resurrection of Jesus , and to trust in anyone else for healing today , is idolatry .
I have been writing on the idolatry of modern medicine for over 13 years now , with articles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pharmaceutical industry on the Created4Health.org website .
An article I wrote about 5 years and is a bit dated now , but is probably more relevant today than it ever has been , is : Medicine : Idolatry in the Twenty First Century Idols were looked to for guidance , power , and healing .
It seems strange to us today that people would create idols out of man-made objects created by their own hands .
But the reason it seems strange to us today is because the people trusted in the spirits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or in some cases they may have believed that the idol itself was inhabited by spirit beings .
Our materialistic culture , by contrast , believes primarily only in the physical world , either denying or ignoring the spiritual world .
The heart of idolatry is looking to sources outside of God for our basic needs and desires in life .
The idols that are erected flow out of our experiences in life , and the idol is an attempt to explain life apart from the Creator .
The typical things people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for them are : guidance , wealth , fertility , and health .
God , the Creator of heaven and earth , presents himself to his people as the sole source of these things we need and desire .
God does not act like a “ magician ” by providing these things for us out of thin air , but most of the time he works through his natural order of creation which is upheld by his power .
( See Hebrews 1:3 & Colossians 1:17 which explain that God holds together the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ creation , however , is not a closed system , and God himself is not bound to its laws .
He operates outside of it also , and in the person of Jesus , especially , we saw the power of the Creator in human form interact and overcome the limitations of the physical creation in many instances .
Jesus walked on water , turned water into wine , immediately healed people ’ s diseases , and even raised people from physical death back to life .
But the decision as to when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and not the created beings .
The prophets and other leaders at times were used by God to perform miracles , but the miracles were performed by God through them .
“ Magicians ” on the other hand , those who truly perform magic ( not just illusions ) , are interacting with the spiritual world being controlled by their own thoughts and desires , or those of the spirits who are also created beings .
The ancient world was full of competing religions that practiced real magic in the spiritual realm @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of idolatry that was condemned in the Old Testament writings of the Bible was child sacrifice to the god Molech : Any Israelite or any alien living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death .
The people of the community are to stone him .
I will set my face against that man and I will cut him off from his people ; for by giving his children to Molech , he has defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name .
If the people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that man gives one of his children to Molech and they fail to put him to death , I will set my face against that man and his family and will cut off from their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves to Molech .
I will set my face against the person who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute himself by following them , and I will cut him off from his people .
Consecrate yourselves and be holy , because I am the LORD your God @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I am the LORD , who makes you holy .
( Leviticus 20:2-8 ) Are things any different today in terms of idolatry ?
It has taken on a different form , but it is in essence the same thing it has always been – trust in idols rather than God to supply our needs and desires .
Modern-day culture has changed dramatically since the theory of Darwinian evolution came on the scene and dominated academics in western culture , so that today the physical world is exalted above all other realities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or ignored .
Hence , creation of physical idols out of basic elements such as wood or metals is very uncommon , because current culture ignores the unseen world that could be represented by such physical manifestations .
What has replaced those idols , however , are beliefs in new ones .
The most common idol in western culture today , by far , is medicine – the new “ magic.
” Modern day medicine has existed for a relatively short period of human history , and the creation of a body of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back to the start of the vaccine movement in Europe in the 1800s , when health officials wanted more control over the population and what they perceived as threatening diseases like smallpox .
Today , medicine is seen as the solution to almost all of life ’ s problems .
A pill or vaccine exists now for just about every ailment or problem in life , and for those problems that don ’ t have a medical solution yet , billions of dollars are spent on research to find one .
The belief @ @ @ @ @ @ @ science and medicine can solve all problems in life .
The people who control the medical system are trained and licensed and given great authority to control our lives .
Currently they have the authority to take children away from their parents , to declare someone “ insane ” or mentally disturbed and have them committed to an institution , force people ( especially children ) to use their products via vaccinations , and make sweeping laws and regulations that affect the lives of everyone .
It is believed that life itself is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system is used to justify the authority and power the medical system has in our culture .
One of the more interesting Greek words that is usually translated as “ witchcraft ” or “ sorcery ” in the English translations of the Bible is pharmakeia , from which we get such English words as “ pharmacy ” or “ pharmaceutical.
” Outside of the Biblical texts , this Greek word would probably most often be translated into English as “ medicine , ” or “ drugs.
” It is used in Galatians 5:20 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are obvious : sexual immorality , impurity and debauchery ; idolatry and witchcraft ; hatred , discord , jealousy , fits of rage , selfish ambition , dissensions , factions and envy ; drunkenness , orgies , and the like .
I warn you , as I did before , that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God .
( Galatians 5:19-21 ) Can you imagine using the English word “ medicines ” in place of “ witchcraft ” in the list of sins in the verses above @ @ @ @ @ @ @ English Bible could not , and yet that was the word the ancients would have used for our modern day word “ medicine.
” It is also used in the book of Revelations in a couple of places : The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands ; they did not stop worshiping demons , and idols of gold , silver , bronze , stone and wood—idols that can not see or hear or walk .
Nor did they repent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , their sexual immorality or their thefts .
( Revelation 9:20-21 ) In this verse the word pharmakeia is translated “ magic arts.
” It is used below in referring to Babylon : The light of a lamp will never shine in you again .
The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again .
Your merchants were the world ’ s great men .
By your magic spell all the nations were led astray .
( Revelation 18:23 ) Here the word pharmakeia is translated “ magic spell.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ not seem appropriate to the translators in these verses , because of the current acceptance and understanding we have in the word and concept of “ medicine.
” To learn more on this subject , see : Healing from Jesus is More Effective than Our Current Healthcare System Is Big Pharma Medicine the Primary Tool of the Globalists and the New World Order ?
Current events here in July of 2020 show that there is a massive effort in place to usher in a New World Order by the Globalists , where the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s population .
I have identified who is ultimately behind this agenda , which is no longer a “ conspiracy theory , ” but is actually being published now .
See : Unmasking Who is Behind the Plandemic and Rioting to Usher in the New World Order As I show in this article , which is a must-read if you truly want to understand what is happening today , the entity controlling events today is the Serpent , Satan , and he has two main goals in the time he has remaining before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world by controlling the world ’ s financial system , and he wants your children .
The pharmaceutical industry is the primary tool he is using today to accomplish this goal .
Most of the world ’ s wealth has already been transferred from the middle class to the pharmaceutical industry through the COVID Plandemic .

I have been one of the leading voices in the Alternative Media for the past decade or so warning people about the dangers of vaccines , as it has been the most censored topic in the corporate Pharma-funded “ mainstream ” media , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the the topic : VaccineImpact.com .
Two of the leading doctors and scientists in the world who understand the devastating effects that vaccines can have , are now warning the public that this COVID vaccine being developed is a new kind of DNA vaccine never before brought to market , and in the U.S. alone they are predicting up to 50 million people will be killed by the vaccines .

Most of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to COVID have happened among our elderly population , and yet mostly only those of us in the Alternative Media are exposing this massive holocaust that has already happened !
See : Dr. Vernon Coleman : Your Government Wants You Dead – BANNED from YouTube Most Americans are opposed to mandatory vaccines , especially for adults , but even if laws or emergency orders are not put in place to mandate that everyone must get the COVID vaccine , you can expect that , like the current measures being put in place in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worn in order to enter a store to buy something , or visit a hospital , etc.
, that there will probably be some kind of COVID-ID or “ mark ” also required to prove you have received the COVID vaccine .
See : Virginia Has Provided the Nation with the Template for Mandatory Vaccines : Democracy Sacrificed for Medical Tyranny Hence , we are already very close to seeing the principle of Revelations 13 fulfilled , as I quoted above : As I stated in the beginning of this article , I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the literal details of how this all might unfold regarding Biblical prophecy , in terms of dates , times , and other specifics , but instead I am taking the words of Jesus himself seriously , as recorded in Matthew 16 : As I also stated in the beginning of this article , the day may soon be here where the only way to resist Satan and the Globalists under his control , is to completely stop participating in the Government-run medical system .
Many of us have been warning the public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are a few of us who have not depended upon the pharmaceutical industry for our health for quite some time now , because we recognized that it was an evil system responsible for untold , countless deaths and destruction of lives .
It is also the largest criminal organization in the world , by far .

All the symbols and emblems for modern medicine have one thing in common: a serpent.
Some, like the Caduceus, have two serpents around a staff, while others, like the rod of Asclepius, have only one serpent.
There are various interpretations as to the difference in meaning between the two, as well as the history of their origins, but the oldest reference to the serpent and its role in human suffering or healing, is contained in the earliest records of the Bible, in the writings of Moses, who is credited with writing most of the first 5 books of the Old Testament portion of the Bible around 3500 years ago.
Since these writings pre-date anything written in Greek mythology by almost 1000 years, I am going to base this article on the Bible, the oldest and the most widely circulated and most frequently translated collection of ancient writings in the world, by far, with no serious competitors in ancient or modern literature.
If that bothers you, no need to read further.
We will see from the ancient wisdom of the Bible, that the serpent representing Satan is the ultimate anti-Christ, that he is weaker than Jesus Christ who is portrayed in the Bible as both the Son of Man and the Son of God, and that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ broke the power of Satan over sickness and death.
Satan has yet to be judged and sent to his eternal punishment in a place called Hell, and there awaits a final battle between Jesus Christ, the ruler of the Kingdom of God, and Satan, the current ruler of the World System.
The Kingdom of God originates in Heaven, but also extends to earth and exists in the lives of the true believers of Jesus Christ.
In addition to the physical world, there exists a spiritual world (or universe), and every living human being currently inhabiting the planet either resides in the spiritual Kingdom of Darkness ruled by Satan, or in the spiritual Kingdom of Light ruled by Jesus Christ. (For more on this topic, see: Re-Creation: The Rebirth.)
Revelation Chapter 13 talks about the “mark of the beast,” where “beast” could also be translated into the English word “serpent.”
He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
(Revelation 13:16-17)
I am not going to delve into the controversial topics of prophecy or theology in this article. Instead, I am going to show just what the image of the “serpent” represents, its place in modern medicine, and how if one wants to resist being part of the Satanic system that may require everyone to accept some kind of “mark,” then you are probably going to need to prepare yourself to stop using the medical system completely.
I realize that we have been conditioned to believe that we cannot survive without pharmaceutical drugs and the medical system, but I assure you it is possible. I have not used the medical system in many years, and have not carried health insurance (by choice) for over 20 years, and I have survived!
It is my belief after many years of research and teaching on this subject, that for every patented pharmaceutical drug making billions of dollars for the medical system, that there are natural remedies created by God found in nature that are actually more effective, especially if we stop believing in the allopathic germ-theory of disease, and realize that health is much more than just the condition of our physical bodies.
The Serpent Represents Satan
From the earliest record in the Bible in the opening chapters of the book of Genesis, to the closing chapters in the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation, the serpent is identified as Satan, or the Devil.
The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
(Revelation 12:9)
He first appears in the 3rd chapter of Genesis, where he deceives Adam and Eve, which results in sin entering the human race. One of the key passages of this chapter is verses 14 and 15, which basically lays out a prophetic blueprint for human history, and the cosmic struggle between good and evil:
So the LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel. (Genesis 3:14-15)
The key event in human history that saw the culmination of this prophecy, was the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, and his triumphal rising from the dead and walking out of the grave, defeating the power of sin and death that the serpent caused in the Garden of Eden.
One of the best summaries of this event is found in the letter that the apostle Peter wrote:
To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.” When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. (1 Peter 2:21-25)
But this was not yet the end of Satan. To understand the events unfolding before us today, we need to review the history of the seed of the woman, and the seed of the serpent.
Moses’ Bronze Serpent Hung from a Pole
One of the next places we see the serpent appear is in the Bible is in the life of Moses.
The “seed of the woman” is traced through the Patriarch Abraham, the father of the Hebrews. To escape years of famine God had led Abraham’s descendants, the Hebrew people, to take up residence in Egypt. There they became too numerous and were seen as a threat to the Egyptian culture, and we see one of the first recorded instances of infanticide, the destruction of children being born to the Hebrew women.
This will become a common theme throughout human history, as Satan works hard to reduce human population by killing children.
Moses was spared being killed and was actually raised in the royal palace, but soon is banished from Egypt for trying to deliver the Hebrews.
He spends 40 years in the wilderness where he settled down, got married, and started raising his family.
But the time had come for God to deliver his people from the oppression of the Egyptians, and he chose Moses to lead them, by appearing to him in a burning bush that did not burn up.
Moses is reluctant and fearful. Satan is thoroughly entrenched in Egyptian culture by this time, and a common shepherd like Moses figured he didn’t have a chance to lead a revolution, so God gave him some help.
Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The LORD did not appear to you’?” Then the LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” “A staff,” he replied. The LORD said, “Throw it on the ground.” Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it. Then the LORD said to him, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.” So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. “This,” said the LORD, “is so that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.”
(Exodus 4:1-5)
Here we have the rod of Moses that miraculously turns into a serpent at the command of God.
It was something the magicians of Pharaoh, King of Egypt, also had the power to do. But God was clearly demonstrating his power over Satan, and changing the course of human history.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet. You are to say everything I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his country. But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I multiply my miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt, he will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and with mighty acts of judgment I will bring out my divisions, my people the Israelites. And the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out of it.” Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD commanded them. Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh. The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “When Pharaoh says to you, ‘Perform a miracle,’ then say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a snake.” So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD commanded. Aaron threw his staff down in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a snake. Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the Egyptian magicians also did the same things by their secret arts: Each one threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs. (Exodus 7:1-13)
As the story unfolds in the Book of Exodus, Moses continues to perform miracles where plagues afflicted the Egyptians who were under the domain of Satan, until finally, after the first-born of all the Egyptians died while none of the first-born among the Hebrews died during what was called “The Passover,” the Hebrews looted the wealth of the Egyptians and took off for the desert.
In the desert God gave them the Law, represented by the Ten Commandments, in order to start a new life as God’s chosen people, freed from the bondage of Satan.
But the slave mentality was thoroughly entrenched in these Hebrews who grew up in Egypt, and even though they had seen the miracles of God inflicting plagues against their enemies the Egyptians, they complained to God about their condition in the desert, which leads us to the next occurrence of Satan being represented in the image of the serpent, and the roots to that symbol in modern medicine.
They traveled from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea, to go around Edom. But the people grew impatient on the way; they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the desert? There is no bread! There is no water! And we detest this miserable food!” Then the LORD sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died. The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the LORD and against you. Pray that the LORD will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. The LORD said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived. (Numbers 21:4-9)
This passage has been greatly misinterpreted throughout history, because most of the medical images you see today, such as the Caduceus or the rod of Asclepius, really have their origins from this historical event.
Modern medicine views the image of the snake in this passage as having curative, or medical properties.
But a bronze snake hanging from what this English translation I chose says “pole,” which in the original language is some kind of “standard” or “banner,” is not what cured the people.
It was their “looking” to it, presumably in faith that God would do what he said he would do, which was to heal them.
God healed them, not an inanimate man-made metal object fashioned in the image of a snake.
And remember the prophecy God proclaimed on the serpent in Genesis 3: “Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.”
By lifting an image of the serpent high up into the air, God was signifying his power over the serpent, just as the staff of Moses and Aaron also did, when it became a serpent and consumed the serpents of Pharaoh’s magicians.
It was a symbol of defeat for Satan, by being lifted up where he himself could not go.
It took me a while to locate an artist’s interpretation of this that I believed was close to what really happened, like the one above that is at the beginning of this section. Because most of the images of Moses and the bronze serpent lifted up in the desert had something more similar to a living snake slithering up a pole, as we see in the medical symbols, suggesting that the serpent had power to do this on his own.
But this “pole” in reality had to display a dead snake, not a live one, so some kind of cross beam was necessary to drape the image of the dead snake over it, making the “pole” probably look more like a cross.
Also, we find out later that this remedy for the Hebrews in the desert was apparently specific to that time and place in history, before they entered the “Promised land.”
The bronze serpent was kept for several generations after they left the desert, and eventually took on the opposite meaning of what it was originally intended, representing some kind of demon that was named Nehushtan.
This is recorded during the days of King Hezekiah, who was a good king and led the people back to worshiping God instead of demonic images, which included the bronze serpent crafted during the days of Moses in the desert.
He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it. (It was called Nehushtan.)
(2 Kings 18:4)
The name “Nehushtan” is only used here, and its history is not known. The etymology of the Hebrew word means “bronze” or possibly a derivation of the Hebrew word for “serpent,” but it was definitely a proper noun referring to some entity, probably demonic.
The bronze serpent that God had the Hebrews construct was a symbol of Satan’s defeat, not his curative powers.
Only God heals, and he clearly demonstrated that when he delivered the Hebrews from Egypt, by inflicting plagues on the people of Satan, while the people of God were not affected.
Jesus Replaced the Serpent in the Desert for Healing
But if there was ever any doubt as to the meaning of serpent and its place in healing, the words of Jesus erase all doubt:
I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God. (John 3:11-21)
Therefore, the use of the image of a serpent to represent healing is in direct contradiction to the words of God and of Jesus.
The image in the desert was a sign of the defeat of Satan, but that sign was ultimately fulfilled in the death and resurrection of Jesus, and to trust in anyone else for healing today, is idolatry.
What is “Idolatry?”
I have been writing on the idolatry of modern medicine for over 13 years now, with articles that expose the evil and corruption in pharmaceutical industry on the Created4Health.org website.
An article I wrote about 5 years ago and is a bit dated now, but is probably more relevant today than it ever has been, is:
Excerpts from that article:
Idols were looked to for guidance, power, and healing. It seems strange to us today that people would create idols out of man-made objects created by their own hands. But the reason it seems strange to us today is because the people trusted in the spirits or spirit world represented by the idols, or in some cases they may have believed that the idol itself was inhabited by spirit beings. Our materialistic culture, by contrast, believes primarily only in the physical world, either denying or ignoring the spiritual world. The heart of idolatry is looking to sources outside of God for our basic needs and desires in life. The idols that are erected flow out of our experiences in life, and the idol is an attempt to explain life apart from the Creator. The typical things people have historically looked to idols to provide for them are: guidance, wealth, fertility, and health. God, the Creator of heaven and earth, presents himself to his people as the sole source of these things we need and desire. God does not act like a “magician” by providing these things for us out of thin air, but most of the time he works through his natural order of creation which is upheld by his power. (See Hebrews 1:3 & Colossians 1:17 which explain that God holds together the universe through his energy.) The creation, however, is not a closed system, and God himself is not bound to its laws. He operates outside of it also, and in the person of Jesus, especially, we saw the power of the Creator in human form interact and overcome the limitations of the physical creation in many instances. Jesus walked on water, turned water into wine, immediately healed people’s diseases, and even raised people from physical death back to life. But the decision as to when supernatural events happen always originates with God, and not the created beings. The prophets and other leaders at times were used by God to perform miracles, but the miracles were performed by God through them. “Magicians” on the other hand, those who truly perform magic (not just illusions), are interacting with the spiritual world being controlled by their own thoughts and desires, or those of the spirits who are also created beings. The ancient world was full of competing religions that practiced real magic in the spiritual realm through idolatrous practice. One specific form of idolatry that was condemned in the Old Testament writings of the Bible was child sacrifice to the god Molech: Any Israelite or any alien living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death. The people of the community are to stone him. I will set my face against that man and I will cut him off from his people; for by giving his children to Molech, he has defiled my sanctuary and profaned my holy name. If the people of the community close their eyes when that man gives one of his children to Molech and they fail to put him to death, I will set my face against that man and his family and will cut off from their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves to Molech. I will set my face against the person who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute himself by following them, and I will cut him off from his people. Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the LORD your God. Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the LORD, who makes you holy. (Leviticus 20:2-8) Are things any different today in terms of idolatry? It has taken on a different form, but it is in essence the same thing it has always been – trust in idols rather than God to supply our needs and desires. Modern-day culture has changed dramatically since the theory of Darwinian evolution came on the scene and dominated academics in western culture, so that today the physical world is exalted above all other realities. The spiritual world is either denied or ignored. Hence, creation of physical idols out of basic elements such as wood or metals is very uncommon, because current culture ignores the unseen world that could be represented by such physical manifestations. What has replaced those idols, however, are beliefs in new ones. The most common idol in western culture today, by far, is medicine – the new “magic.” Modern day medicine has existed for a relatively short period of human history, and the creation of a body of licensed “physicians” can be traced back to the start of the vaccine movement in Europe in the 1800s, when health officials wanted more control over the population and what they perceived as threatening diseases like smallpox. Today, medicine is seen as the solution to almost all of life’s problems. A pill or vaccine exists now for just about every ailment or problem in life, and for those problems that don’t have a medical solution yet, billions of dollars are spent on research to find one. The belief system currently in place is that physical science and medicine can solve all problems in life. The people who control the medical system are trained and licensed and given great authority to control our lives. Currently they have the authority to take children away from their parents, to declare someone “insane” or mentally disturbed and have them committed to an institution, force people (especially children) to use their products via vaccinations, and make sweeping laws and regulations that affect the lives of everyone. It is believed that life itself is dependent on medicine, and this belief system is used to justify the authority and power the medical system has in our culture.

Pharmaceutical Drugs as Witchcraft or Sorcery
One of the more interesting Greek words that is usually translated as “witchcraft” or “sorcery” in the English translations of the Bible is pharmakeia, from which we get such English words as “pharmacy” or “pharmaceutical.”
Outside of the Biblical texts, this Greek word would probably most often be translated into English as “medicine,” or “drugs.”
It is used in Galatians 5:20:
The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)
Can you imagine using the English word “medicines” in place of “witchcraft” in the list of sins in the verses above? Obviously the modern translators of the English Bible could not, and yet that was the word the ancients would have used for our modern day word “medicine.”
It is also used in the book of Revelation in a couple of places:
The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts. (Revelation 9:20-21)
In this verse the word pharmakeia is translated “magic arts.” It is used below in referring to Babylon:
The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world’s great men. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray. (Revelation 18:23)
Here the word pharmakeia is translated “magic spell.” Again, “medicine” did not seem appropriate to the translators in these verses, because of the current acceptance and understanding we have in the word and concept of “medicine.”
To learn more on this subject, see:
Is Big Pharma Medicine the Primary Tool of the Globalists and the New World Order?
Current events here in July of 2020 show that there is a massive effort in place to usher in a New World Order by the Globalists, where the agenda is to reduce the world’s population.
I have identified who is ultimately behind this agenda, which is no longer a “conspiracy theory,” but is actually being published now. See:
As I show in this article, which is a must-read if you truly want to understand what is happening today, the entity controlling events today is the Serpent, Satan, and he has two main goals in the time he has remaining before Christ returns. He wants to control the world by controlling the world’s financial system, and he wants your children.
The pharmaceutical industry is the primary tool he is using today to accomplish this goal.
Most of the world’s wealth has already been transferred from the middle class to the pharmaceutical industry through the COVID Plandemic. See:
And as I am writing this, BILLIONS have been spent on developing a COVID vaccine with the goal of inoculating every single person on the planet.
I have been one of the leading voices in the Alternative Media for the past decade or so warning people about the dangers of vaccines, as it has been the most censored topic in the corporate Pharma-funded “mainstream” media, and we have an entire website devoted to the the topic: VaccineImpact.com.
Two of the leading doctors and scientists in the world who understand the devastating effects that vaccines can have, are now warning the public that this COVID vaccine being developed is a new kind of DNA vaccine never before brought to market, and in the U.S. alone they are predicting up to 50 million people will be killed by the vaccines.
Most of the deaths that are currently being attributed to COVID have happened among our elderly population, and yet mostly only those of us in the Alternative Media are exposing this massive holocaust that has already happened! See:
So what’s next?
Most Americans are opposed to mandatory vaccines, especially for adults, but even if laws or emergency orders are not put in place to mandate that everyone must get the COVID vaccine, you can expect that, like the current measures being put in place in some states that require masks to be worn in order to enter a store to buy something, or visit a hospital, etc., that there will probably be some kind of COVID-ID or “mark” also required to prove you have received the COVID vaccine. See:
Hence, we are already very close to seeing the principle of Revelation 13 fulfilled, as I quoted above:
He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
(Revelation 13:16-17)
As I stated in the beginning of this article, I am not going to get bogged down in the literal details of how this all might unfold regarding Biblical prophecy, in terms of dates, times, and other specifics, but instead I am taking the words of Jesus himself seriously, as recorded in Matthew 16:
When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. (Matthew 16:2-3)
As I also stated in the beginning of this article, the day may soon be here where the only way to resist Satan and the Globalists under his control, is to completely stop participating in the Government-run medical system.
Many of us have been warning the public about this for years, and there are a few of us who have not depended upon the pharmaceutical industry for our health for quite some time now, because we recognized that it was an evil system responsible for untold, countless deaths and destruction of lives. It is also the largest criminal organization in the world, by far. See:
So if you plan on resisting the Serpent, and his marks, the time has come to start detoxing yourself of pharmaceutical products, and learning as much as you can about natural health, and even supernatural health as taught in the Bible.

As “qualified immunity” for police and other public employees comes to the forefront nationally, the practice as it applies to state social workers has been dealt another blow in the U.S. District Court in Covington by Senior Judge William Bertlesman. The judge has ruled in the case of Maureen ‘Nikkie’ Holliday versus the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services social workers who imposed a restrictive “Prevention Plan” the single mom was coerced into signing. It required her to have strictly supervised contact with her four-year-old daughter. The threatened penalty was foster care for her child. Bertleman has ruled that Holliday’s due process claims and her emotional distress claims are legitimate and that the social workers are not entitled to qualified immunity. Holliday is a single mother and an army combat veteran. She worked two jobs and was going to school at the time of her unfortunate experience with CHFS, so her daughter was enrolled in a Florence daycare center. She has since graduated from the University of Cincinnati (in social work) and is working with a homeless veterans’ group. Her daughter had a bruise on her buttocks that she said she got when another child at the daycare bit her. When the daycare was alerted to the bite, they involved the Cabinet and social worker Alecia Leigh took charge and threatened to take the daughter into custody on the spot if Holliday did not sign the Prevention Plan agreement. She signed under duress. As required, Holliday took her daughter to Children’s Hospital to be examined and the discharge instructions read: “AH (the child) was seen and evaluated by the emergency department. She explained that she was ‘bitten on the butt’ by her friend Lola. My exam was consistent with bite marks on both butt cheeks. The marks were simply minor bruises and no puncture marks. There were no other injuries noted. AH otherwise appears to be a healthy and happy child.

Ms. Holliday then sued CHFS and the social workers.
Holliday’s attorney Paul Hill filed suit against Alecia Leigh, Danielle Sneed and ‘Jane Does(s),’ supervisors and others in the CHFS. Bertlesman writes in his opinion that “there was no compelling purpose to impose restrictions on Holliday,” that Leigh misrepresented her legal authority, and that Sneed acquiesced to the alleged deprivation of Holliday’s constitutional rights. “Qualified official immunity applies to the negligent performance by a public officer or employee of (1) discretionary acts or functions, i.e., those involving the exercise of discretion and judgment, or personal deliberation, decision, and judgment; (2) in good faith; and (3) within the scope of the employee’s authority. . . “Given that. . the defendant’s actions violated a clearly established constitutional right, defendants are not entitled to state-law qualified immunity. . .” Bertlesman denied the social workers’ claims related to Holliday’s “substantive and procedural due process claims,” as well as her IIED (intentional infliction of emotional distress) claim. The decision means that the lawsuit can proceed to a jury trial. (Source.)

A Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruling was cause for celebration at the Fort Thomas home of Holly and David Schulkers and five of their children, as the court ruled in their favor in a lawsuit against individual social workers for the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. The lawsuit involves the social workers’ mishandling of the drug test of a new mom’s urine sample – a “false positive” for opiates – that extended into threats of sending their children into foster care and onerous rules saying Holly could not be with her children alone in her own home. Federal District Judge William Bertlesman in February 2019 denied “qualified immunity” for the social workers at a hearing in Covington on one count in the couple’s lawsuit and upheld it on another count. The Cabinet and the social workers, Elizabeth Kammer and Alison Campbell, appealed. But the Sixth Circuit judges – Martha Craig Daughtrey, Eric Clay, and Richard Griffin – unanimously said the social workers should not have qualified immunity on either count which can send the Schulkers’ case to a jury trial for damages. In a nutshell, with a lot of twists and turns: Holly Schulkers is a busy mom and stepmom to six young children, including the baby born in February 2017 and five others, aged 9-14. At St. Elizabeth Hospital for the birth of the baby, she unknowingly had a urine test that was “presumptive positive” for opiates (perhaps her doctor noted on her chart because she consumed a snack with poppy seeds on it and “poppy seeds are among the products that can cause a false positive on a drug screen”).

Meantime, in full knowledge of the new test results, Kammer and another CHFS employee went to the children’s schools and had the Schulkers’ children – without the parents’ permission – brought into a private room one by one – with no school personnel present – and asked them about “mommy’s drug use.” The children were understandably upset. Despite repeated requests, the conditions of the “Prevention Plan” were not lifted until two months after the Schulkers left the hospital, at which time the case was marked “unsubstantiated.” (Full story here.)
This may represent a trend in the federal courts of “piercing through the veil” of “qualified immunity” for social workers who behave badly and take advantage of their government positions to kidnap children and participate in child trafficking with no legal consequences.
We reported on a case back in 2018 in the U.S. 9th Circuit with a family in Arizona who had their children removed without a warrant, simply because they had taken photos of their 3 children after a bath when they were laying on a towel naked. They went to develop the photos at a Walmart, and an employee reported them to the police. See:
