Serpent:
the characteristics of the "serpent" as alluded to in Scripture are mostly evil (though Mat 10:16 refers to its caution in avoiding danger); its treachery, Gen 49:17; 2Cr 11:3; its venom, Psa 58:4; 1Cr 10:9; Rev 9:19; its skulking, Job 26:13; its murderous proclivities, e.g., Psa 58:4; Pro 23:32; Ecc 10:8, 11; Amo 5:19; Mar 16:18; Luk 10:19; the Lord used the word metaphorically of the scribes and Pharisees, Mat 23:33 (cp. echidna, "viper," in Mat 3:7; 12:34). The general aspects of its evil character are intimated in the Lord's rhetorical question in Mat 7:10; Luk 11:11. Its characteristics are concentrated in the arch-adversary of God and man, the Devil, metaphorically described as the serpent, 2Cr 11:3; Rev 12:9, 14, 15; 20:2. The brazen "serpent" lifted up by Moses was symbolical of the means of salvation provided by God, in Christ and His vicarious death under the Divine judgment upon sin, Jhn 3:14. While the living "serpent" symbolizes sin in its origin, hatefulness, and deadly effect, the brazen "serpent" symbolized the bearing away of the curse and the judgement of sin; the metal was itself figurative of the righteousness of God's judgment.
