The Seraphim: Fiery Serpents

PASSAGES:Isaiah 6:1–7; Numbers 21:4–9
◆

The Hebrew word seraph means can relate to fire, and the same word is used for the venomous, or "fiery" serpents that bit Israel in the wilderness. This entry looks at the case that the seraphim above the throne in Isaiah's vision are winged, serpentine beings, and at what their appearance points to concerning judgement and Christ.

THE METHODOLOGY

The Search for Truth

Scripture

Every entry starts with God's Word. By studying the Scriptural context and original language, we'll examine exactly what the Biblical authors wrote and why.

Investigation

Next, we'll untangle the Biblical account from the folklore, cultural misconceptions, and mythology that has clouded understanding of these entries over the centuries.

Illustration

Lastly, join me in creating original hand-drawn creature designs as a means of visualizing what the text says. My artwork will never be perfect, but serves to guide us all back into the Word.

"Every beast, being, and creature in Scripture ultimately bears witness to the holiness, majesty, and redemptive work of Jesus Christ."
