The serpent to truly understand you must trace back to the Sumerian texts (the origin of the Old Testament)
The serpent IS NOT a snake, but an Archon/Demurge (specifically the Sumerian word is SATAM, later to become SATAN)
The “serpent” in those original texts was Enki, an elite who is described as having “a serpent complexion”
Interestingly the serpent was the only one who was in line with Christs later teachings, in that the serpent befriended Adam (Sumerian for animal, A-Dam) and encouraged him to stand up to the oppressive creator using a tool (Ganeesh)
“You can use this tool to destroy or to build”
This later became the “forbidden fruit” (discernment of good and evil, an understanding of morals and self)
The serpent then encouraged A-dam to eat the tree of life and become eternal with them, but the oppressive “God” Enlil (the creator of humanity) kicked humans out of Eden (E-din, animal den)
I shan’t go on… you can look for yourself
But the Egyptians used the serpent to depict health, miracles, eternal life, wisdom and infinity
(Infact our infinity symbol comes from the Egyptian symbols using the serpent)
Later Moses crafts a serpent to adorn his staff, so that all that gaze upon it may attain eternal life/salvation
Later a snake is “crucified” in the exact manner Christ is crucified later, so there’s a reflection of Christ being similar to the serpent

The snake is sometimes in scripture aligned with God, such as Moses lifting the serpent , and in fact the tree of life..

There are exceptions, of course. However, when Moses lifts the serpent that is different because he places it on a pole. The serpent is not rising in that example.
I disagree that the tree of life is a serpent, but, I applaud the creative approach to the story.

It may sound rather esoteric, but the tree of life is DNA. the medical life symbol is always two serpent's on a pole with a winged creature on the top.

If you're right, and I put that into the story: those who eat "DNA" will never die?
Yes the caduceus. What is significant about that in this context?
