Yaldabaoth and the Serpent Race

"The great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him"

The Gnostic Gospels give a more detailed description of this creature whom they call Yaldabaoth. This chief reptilian archon is supposedly a shapeshifting dragon with the face of a lion. He has a race of angels under his control which are presumably also serpentine. Depictions of Yaldabaoth are very rare in the Judeo-Christian areas, but here is a coin depicting him:



This coin has little to no familiarity in popular culture, but Yaldabaoth exposed himself to various civilizations throughout history. These cultures that he showed himself to unanimously would deify him and worship him as god. Across the globe they witnessed the same lion-faced shapeshifting dragon




This is a picture of quetzalcoatl, the shapeshifting feathered dragon with a noticeable lions mane that the Aztecs worshipped




This is a picture of the classical chinese dragon. Almost always depicted with a lion's face and mane.



This chief archon and its angels are mentioned by Jesus many times. It is also important to notice that "archon" is the Greek word for "ruler" in the New Testament. This is what John and Jesus had to say about these archons:

...when John saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his place of baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?" (Matthew 3:7

"Serpents! brood of vipers! how may ye escape from the judgment of the hell?" Matthew 23:33

Pistis Sophia is a gnostic text in which Jesus goes into great depth about the lion-faced dragon that attempts to steal the light-power of the children of God. This is identical to the serpent in revelation that attempts to devour the developing child. From a Jungian perspective, this can be seen as the rudimentary serpentine survival mechanisms devouring the potential of humans to realize the birthright of their higher cognitive faculties.

"neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them did tempt, and by the serpents did perish" (1 Corinthians 10:9)

It is likely that there are entire bodies dedicated to the possession of these serpentine forces. From my experience, these serpentine archons perpetuate the matrix, and we will die with it if we don't rise above it (John 3:14). Again, they are the princes, in other words, second in command in this world behind Jesus the King.

Krishna, one of Jesus's many brothers, is depicted as a soul that overcame and even charmed the serpent's illusory world

The image on the coin is actually Chnoubis.

Chnoubis is the the Gnostic Agathodaimon (good demon) who is often portrayed in medical amulets and coins as a lion-headed and or man-headed serpent, with two legs, a crown of seven or twelve rays and the tail of a serpent. This demon had always been considered as good and is known to be the driver away of bad demons, and the destroyer of demons.

The ancient Phoenicians, Greeks and Greco-Egyptians did not consider demons to be all evil and or bad. They had led the belief that there were both good and bad demons who were considered wise and all knowing. Demons who had the power to do good or bad dependent on their free will.

You will also find this demon's name spelled in various different ways throughout history such as Ξνούβις Khnoubis, Khnoumis Kanobis, Knoubis, Ammon-Chnubis and Ammon-Chnoumis to name a few.

Let me also add that Chnoubis is not really a serpent, but a worm.

In the early Christian era, the Latin writers for the Catholic Church who had control of history and the secret mysteries had purposely changed all literary references that said worm to the word serpent in order to obfuscate the truth. This is when the King of the earth known as a worm to the ancients becomes that Old Serpent, the Great Dragon who is the Prince of the Earth and who is sometimes called the Devil.

S&F though...

Edited to add, in a little more light reading on Yaldabaoth, Chnoubis appears to be an aspect of it. Meaning that they were both major archons of two different systems, so the common symbol/amulets would often be conflated. So it appears to further bolster your OP on the commonality of the symbol.

The 'Nag Hamadi' is an interesting read.
Is it possible that Yaldabaoth and JHVH-1 are the same being?
Maybe.

A weird world in which to dip a toe. I am not a religious fellow, but certain aspects of this particular Christian heresy resonates.

Strangely, I was seriously exposed to it due to sci-fi author PKD, and then followed the breadcrumbs into matrix-ville.

I've been warned by more traditional xtians that even considering such things will get you deep fried by the wrathful diety ... but it does seem that any head of the hierarchy wouldn't be so smitey and small... god is love always seemed like a nice approach.

Either way, my only faith is that this world is far stranger than we can know ... at present.

I want to buy that coin!

I usually lean more towards Mithra being the archetype for Jesus.

I have a Hopi friend that is a lot more learned on the subject than I.

He says that, as far as religion goes, all roads eventually lead to Persia.

The Cycle of Mankind is known through history: the Greeks called it the "Great Year". Plato talked about it a lot, particularly in Timaeus. It is also depicted on the Hoover Dam. It is important for understanding Gnosticism.

The "Knowledge" spoken about in the Bible as the "Tree of Knowledge" is simply that the radiation coming from the planets and constellations directly affect the mentality and behaviour of human beings: "As Above; So Below".

Humans develop intelligence in the age of Leo, domesticity in Cancer, language in Gemini, they settle and start farming in Taurus and then start fighting over territory in Aries and repent in Pisces.

We are now entering the Age of Aquarius in which electricity changes our lives completely and the technology created will enslave us during the Age of Capricorn (Saturn/Satan) but this will end in Sagittarius leading to an almighty war in Scorpio which causes another Ice Age during Libra and Virgo.

There is a group of people who have kept this knowledge of the precession of the equinoxes and who use it for their own advantage. When the technology exists, they can leave the Earth when it becomes uninhabitable and return during the Age of Leo when the vegetation starts growing again (the Garden of Eden). They store animal and human DNA from Capricorn ready to recreate them again later during Leo. They create "Adam" from the DNA.

They are not gods they are just humans/scientists who recreate humans because they want to be worshipped. In Gnosticism this creator is called the Demiurge and is seen as malevolent because they don't want to share the knowledge they have and they want to be worshipped as gods when they are nothing of the sort. Notice in the Bible, when man gets too intelligent, eating from the tree of knowledge and developing language, etc., the "god" gets worried and says, "the man has now become like one of us" (Genesis 3:22).

From the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Book of Watchers is a curious story. Basically 200 "security men" were placed on the earth by the scientists to watch over the men who had been created from the saved DNA. These 200 are called "Watchers" and "Angels" in the Bible and they are depicted as the serpent which corrupts Eve.

The serpent is actually a constellation called "Hydra" the water serpent. It starts in Libra, by- passes Leo and comes up under Cancer (Eve) and connects to Cancer from below. Therefore, this is a major, unstoppable event that happens every cycle.

In Genesis 6, it says that these men had sex with the women on earth but it was disasterous because their DNA was different so the women gave birth to giants. This explains why women today have such a painful time giving birth, even dying in the process. These Watchers told the women all the knowledge known to the scientists who were furious with them and came to earth to kill them and their children, the "giants", that could not be sustained on the young vegetation newly growing on earth. The scientists were lucky because in the Great Cycle, there is always a great flood that occurs at the end of the Age of Cancer (Eve) that kills most people on earth. Therefore, all the Knowledge is lost to mankind in general and the Demiurge can continue to stay one step ahead of the rest of us because they know what is going to happen and we don't.

Wow, this guy is worshiped all over the world. A pretty good plan.

The serpent race were the ones tempting Jesus during his 40 day fast in the wilderness. This story illustrates exactly how these Serpent overlords work.

Upon refusing to subjugate yourself to the supposed base necessities of life, they begin to offer you more power. Esau was a perfect example of failing to emerge from the matrix - he compromised his birthright from God for a meal. Jesus on the other hand refuses, so the Reptilians up the ante and offer him supernatural abilities. Many also fail here, such as Samson, because they forget God and start abusing their powers for self-glorification.

The final temptation is the foundation of the illuminati, Rothschild, etc. Upon refusing to bow to prior temptations, the Serpents give their last offer to keep you in their matrix - a position of worldly power or governance. These are all world rulers that are all very enlightened, but compromise their soul's ascent for a position of worldly dominance. This is why so much satanic symbolism is associated with these groups, along with peculiar rituals and beliefs. The US government and its sinister PSYOPS patches are no exception:



"All your base are belong to us" or "all your bases are a servant of ours"




"never before, never again"











"keep your distance, you who are unitiated"



Many are stuck worshipping (giving primary concern for) the basic bodily requirements like Esau. Others get caught up in self-glorification. Others compromise their self for rulership positions.

But it is those who see the vanity in all the temptations that could potentially receive the crown of Life and emerge from the Serpentine matrix:

"For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for my sake will save it." Luke 9:24

These are the same explicit directions given to the young man who is seeking eternal life: Matthew 19:16-24

"Whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?" John 11:26


Those who die are like a fetal miscarriage. Matrix, which means "womb", is not our eternal dwelling, but a place that we emerge from. The rulers/archons/Serpents are the arbitrators of this world and are a necessary force for our development:

"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God." Romans 13:1 (Also see Jude 1:9)

It is likely that all souls are eventually liberated, but many are currently stuck in the Serpentine feedback loop (ouroboros):





So why not today? What are you waiting for?

"The time promised by God has come at last!" he announced. "The Kingdom of God is at hand! Repent of your sins and believe the Good News!"

"All your base are belong to us" (not a typo)

More accurate would be 'are a servant of ours' or 'serve us'. It's in reference to the mission being a spy satellite one which renders another country's secret bases not so secret via imagery.

The only thing that would be close to a serpent race in the Bible is the Seraphim, while described as angels with a face and a certain set of wings, they are somehow synonymous with other names, that mean Dragon, Hydras or Snakes.

And last time I checked, they'd bend over pretty fast for Jesus, just so you know.

'Mary dismounted from her beast, and sat down with the child Jesus in her bosom. And there were with Joseph three boys, and with Mary a girl, going on the journey along with them. And, lo, suddenly there came forth from the cave many dragons; and when the children saw them, they cried out in great terror. Then Jesus went down from the bosom of His mother, and stood on His feet before the dragons; and they adored Jesus, and thereafter retired.' 
Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew 18

It was somewhat implied, though not explicitly, by early Gnostic sects.

Big fan, as far as original originators of fake, yet all to real ironic religions. Praise Ivan, lucky ape you are. Sub Genius, Devo, R.A.W., M's the younger and older ... it all fits together in God's deplaning.

But no doubt we are cogs in the cosmic machinery of consciousness, which HAS to have a decent sense of humor... even IF a bit vaudeville at times.

Yeah there are a couple excerpts in the Old Testament that the gnostic gospels attribute to Yaldabaoth rather than the Most High. Such as:

As he (Yaldabaoth) said through his prophet:
'I will make their minds dull so that they do not see or understand.' (apocryphon of John)

This is a reference to Isaiah 6:10 , which Jesus confirms the gnostic notion that this is the doing of chief Archon, rather than God, because he uses this Isaiah 6:10 reference to describe the blindness of the pharisees in Matthew 13. I've also read in the gnostic texts that the hardening of the heart of pharaoh was Yaldabaoth rather than LORD as said in Exodus 9:12.

It is difficult because the writers of the Old Testament use the blanket statement "LORD" rather than particularly attributing the action to the Most High. Therefore it doesn't seem outlandish that some of the actions in the Old Testament that were attributed to "LORD" were actually Yaldabaoth, or Uriel, etc, executing justified punishment upon people.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
