The Liar in the Garden

Deceptive Serpent is a Common Dragon Being from the Alpha Age, costing 3 faith, with 3 strength and 1 hope. Upon Creation, its Prophecy triggers, creating a 1/1 Woman, replaying the moment of temptation from the beginning of humanity’s story.

The Whisper of the Serpent, Twisting the Word

In the garden, the serpent subtlety spoke deceitfully. “Yea, hath God said…?” With those four words, he cast doubt on the very words of the Creator. He questioned truth, distorted intention, and began a chain reaction of deception that would echo through all of history. And Eve, when answering, added to God’s word: “God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it…” But God never said they couldn’t touch it. The seed of deception always grows in the soil of misunderstanding.

Ever since that day, Satan’s strategy hasn’t changed. He attacks the Word. He twists it, adds to it, takes from it, anything to make it unclear. Because if God’s Word is blurred, grace becomes hidden. If Scripture is muddled, salvation is obscured. And if people stop believing what God actually said, they’ll start believing what they want to hear. “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.” – Proverbs 30:5

This card's verse is Genesis 3:1:

"Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"

God never stutters, and His Word never fails. He preserved His truth for all generations. “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.” – Psalm 12:6. That’s why the King James Bible still stands strong, it doesn’t dilute grace, it expresses the truth of grace. The serpent hates it because it clearly shows the only way of salvation: faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.

Christ the Word, The Truth that Saves

Jesus is the son of man, the son of God, and He is the Living Word. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” – John 1:1. When He came, He fulfilled every promise, every law, every shadow that pointed forward. He is the revelation of grace, wrapped in flesh. Just as the rain waters the earth and returns to the sky, the Word of God came down from heaven, brought life, and returned in victory.

He died for our sins according to the Scriptures, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. The same Word that was spoken in the beginning is the Word that now saves us by grace. “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” – Romans 10:17. That’s why believers cling to every word God has preserved. In this world full of questions, we stand on the unshakable answer: Christ crucified, risen, and reigning.

Believer, never be ashamed of the Word of God, the King James Bible. Trust it. Read it. Declare it. The devil may whisper, but God has spoken. And when you trust what He said, especially His promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ, you’ll live with boldness and rest in grace. The serpent will twist God's words, but grace straightens everything out.
