Daily Celestial Challenge: Tuesday - Animal Kingdom
Today in this daily challenge I want to talk about the serpents.. They live in this planet for a long time.. Sence the creation when the devil, from the forme of this criature, made that Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit...
In the Bible, the serpent is the "tempter" who introduces sin into the world, and is designated as the devil himself. Eve is, according to the Bible, the first woman that God created on Earth and the woman of Adam, the first man. It was created by God in the garden of Eden, from a rib of it. In the book of Genesis, it is reported that God commanded Adam and his wife to multiply, fill the earth and rule it (Genesis 1:28). It is related that he also commanded them to eat of all the trees of the garden, except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But, we read, that Eve was deceived by the serpent and saw "that the tree was good to eat, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and desirable tree to attain wisdom", so she ate the forbidden fruit and gave his partner, who ate too. As a consequence, according to the Bible, God as punishment told Eve: "I will increase your pains when you have children, and you will bring them to birth with pain, but your desire will take you to your husband, and he will have authority over you" ( Genesis 3:16), and that Adam should work to eat (Genesis 3:19). Then God said: "The human being has become like one of us, having knowledge of good and evil, lest he extend his hand and also take the fruit of the tree of life, eat it and live for it. always "(Genesis 3:22). For that reason, Adam and Eve were thrown out of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:24). Then God curses the serpent and tells him that the polka will be his food. According to Christianity, the Devil is a malignant and tempting supernatural being of men, identified with the serpent of Genesis (3: 1-5) and with the great dragon of the Apocalypse (12: 9). In ancient Greece, the Legend of the God Zeus and the Serpent tells us what was thought of the ophidian: When Zeus announced his wedding, the animals honored him with gifts, each according to his nature. When the serpent arrived, he went up to where the god Zeus was and offered him a rose that he had in his mouth. Zeus, when he saw her, told her that he received everyone present, but not those who came from her and her mouth ... The moral of this fable is that we should not trust the apparent kindnesses of the evil ones ...
The snake, according to ancestral cultural beliefs, is considered a sacred animal and also related to wisdom. In China, they create a protective entity. An example of this is found in the Great Wall of China, built by seeding a mountainous terrain. In India, it is symbolized by the god Shivá, and in some villages they have retained their beliefs where they are still venerated. In Meso-America, they were also revered by a large part of the indigenous cultures that flourished there. The sample of it, is the one of the God Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, Kukulcán, for the Mayans. In addition, in some Asian countries of the Far East, the snake, like the dragon, have inspired the different methods of self-defense of the martial arts in ancient China. The religions that are inspired by the Bible consider the Serpent as a symbol of the Devil ... Those who believe in a Presence or a Universal Consciousness, good and evil would be present in the same entity. Throughout the Universe the negative and positive poles would coexist. Good and evil, darkness and light, would coexist in the Cosmos, in God, in a single universal consciousness and in each being. It is the case of the snake, for some the evil, for others the good. For Universal God, it's both ...
God, apart from telling the snake that he will crawl and walk on his chest, there will also be an enmity between her and the woman who will bite her heel and the woman will break her head. This biblical story has inspired the Catholic Church to represent the Virgin Mary as the Immaculate Conception by stepping on a snake as the genesis recounts, but the reptile instead of biting the heel only carries an apple in its mouth. In some cases Jesus Christ has also been depicted stepping on a snake, but not inspired by the genesis of the Bible but as a representation of struggle between good and evil, which symbolism can also be applied to the case of the Virgin Mary.

In Christianity it also seems that there are certain contradictions, some theologians based on the story of Moses in the biblical account, to free the Hebrew people, God turned his staff into a snake in the middle of the burning bush when Moses came into contact. According to this story, it is interpreted that God through Moses demonstrated his fury against the Egyptian people against Pharaoh. In this some theologians consider that the staff of Moses, is a serpent of positive aspect or at the same time miraculous.
All animals that exist on the planet have some meaning in each of the cultures and were or are representative of many things, depending on how each person looks, as well as the snakes, the lion, the monkey, the eagle, they also have its meaning on this earth .. Just as each of us has his purpose and we should only follow the designs of God
