The document discusses the identity and appearance of the serpent in the Garden of Eden based on biblical sources. It states that according to E.G. White, the serpent was a beautiful creature with wings that flew through the air and ate fruit like man. Satan entered into the serpent and used it to tempt Eve. The Bible identifies the serpent as being more crafty than other beasts and uses deception to get Eve to doubt God's word. After eating the fruit, Adam followed Eve in sinning despite not being deceived like her. The judgment pronounced consequences on Satan, mankind, and the earth. The gospel message in Revelation echoes God's judgment in Eden by first presenting the gospel and then the coming judgment.
