Venomous Serpent in a dream

Biblical meaning from Hearing God's Voice in Dreams by Apostle Nicholas V. Mbanjwa

Also: Deadly snake

What it means

The spirit of death — the angel of death in 1 Corinthians 10:10 is called 'the destroyer', which is the Greek 'olothreutes' specifically meaning a venomous serpent.

⚠ When it is a warning

  • The spirit of death at work

How to tell the difference

Distinct from the general Snake/Serpent entry. The venomous serpent specifically represents the spirit of death (the destroyer), not just deception or the devil in general. This distinction is made in the life/death section of the book.

Scripture

Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.

1 Corinthians 10:10 (WEB)
