The image of the serpent as the embodiment of the wisdom transmitted by Sophia was an
emblem used by gnosticism, especially those sects that the more orthodox characterized as
"Ophites" ("Serpent People").
The presence of the Serpent in the Garden of Eden who led Adam and Eve into rebellion
against God and the later association of Satan as “that great Serpent” and “Dragon” leads to
the idea that Satan was initialy a Seraph. The punishment to the serpent to crawl on its belly
indicates that the serpent could have been flying or walking.
Rev 12:7 Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon; and
the dragon and his angels fought,
In the final war in heaven, Satan is thus described as the dragon.
“Above him stood the seraphim; each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with
two he covered his feet, and with two he flew “(Isaiah 6:2).
"For our God is a consuming fire." (Heb. 12:29);
"His throne was a flame of fire" (Dan 7:9);
"the appearance of the Lord was like a blazing fire" (Ex. 24:17).
"Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire" (Ps. 103:4).
Some Known Seraphims are Barakiel, Jehoel, Jelial, Kemuel, Metatron, Michael, Nathanael,
Saraphiel, Uriel, and Licifer (Before his fall) who became Satan
