I have a theory that both Lucifer and the Serpent aren't the same person. Because how was Lucifer able to change himself and become a devils. If Lucifer was know to be holy and cherubs. While the serpent who is know to be ancient dragons, a demon and a satan is able disguise himself as an angel. They are both different species or creation that were made by God.
Greetings. I am a new member here.
Reading your post I quote a portion to comment it, trying to bring some light on this biblical matter, if I am able to, for our meditation, and interpretation, and knowledge.
Well, be called Lucifer or Serpent, or yet Devil and Satan, all these names carry us to one, the Cherub that ruled the Garden of Eden.
- In Isaiah he is called "son of the morning or Lucifer" (Is.14:v.12);
- In Ezekiel 28:v.12 he is called king of Tyrus; In the verses 14-15 yet as king of Tyrus, he is called "the anointed cherub that covereth".
- In Ezekiel 31:v.2 he is called Pharaoh king of Egypt. In the verses 7-8 we can see his greatness among the trees of the garden of Eden.
1 - You wrote: "Lucifer and the Serpent aren't the same person".
Yes, they are the same.
2 - You wrote: "Because how was Lucifer able to change himself and become a devils".
For this question we have a ready answer: There was not any change by his ownself to become a devil, in fact, the Almighty God made him a demon, his heavenly nature since was created was changed automatically and was transformed into demonic or satanic nature when iniquity was found in him, and God brought him unto ashes upon the earth. Ez.28:v.18
God cursed the rebel cherub. God said to him: "thou are cursed". Gen.3:v.14
In the New Testament we see:
Luke 4:v.5-7
5 And the devil, taking JESUS up into an high mountain, shewed unto Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said unto Him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
2 Cor. 11:v.13-15
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
2 Thessalonians 2:7-12
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Revelation 2:v.9&24
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
Revelation 12:v.3-4&7
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
7 And there was WAR in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Revelation 16:v.13-15
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the Dragon, and out of the mouth of the Beast, and out of the mouth of the False Prophet. (a satanic trinity)
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Revelation 20:v.1-3
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
