I'd never considered those things put together before, Lou. The serpent I knew was symbolic of Satan ... but the aspect of dust is a new revelation to me. And yet, I've definitely come to believe that he seeks to destroy through deception... particularly for those who are redeemed, all he can do to them is to deceive... and once we believe his lies, and that lie becomes our "truth", we will be controlled by that lie, until our minds are renewed by Truth.
I've come to believe that that mind-renewal process occurs one lie at a time, as each one is revealed, and then replaced with Truth.
I've also come to believe that Truth is not a concept, but a Person... the One who said He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Looking forward to more...
Shalom, Dena
