Scaling the City of the Mighty - Paul M. Williams

Proverbs 21:22 There are many names given to us in the Holy Scriptures to describe the enemy of our souls. Before ever Satan was revealed as a dragon, he was first revealed as a serpent.  That's why in Revelation 12:9 we read, "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him".  Note the title given to him by John, "that old serpent".  How old?  As old as sin itself!!  I don't know how long the enemy planned and schemed the ruinous, murderous downfall of mankind, but within minutes, he had executed his plan to perfection!!  How did he do it?  As a dragon?  That would have been too obvious!!  So he came into the garden as a serpent.   Hear the Word of God your hearts and take note!!
