some rather interesting facts!

Exodus 4: 3-4 and 7: 9-12

Ex 4: 3-4 ''And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, a rod. And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it. And the Lord said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand.''

Ex 7: 9-12 ''When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. Then Pharaoh also called his wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. For they cast down ever man his rod, and they became serpents but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.''

 I was astonished to read that Berbers near the Moroccan city of Marrakesch still show this trick to amuse tourists and rich people.

There is a book by Zimniok (Van der Voort, 1992).
That describes how snake-charmers manipulate cobras that still have their fangs. Some helpers are essential for his trick.
These men distract the snake's attention, while one of them approaches it from behind, grabs it, caresses/strokes it a few times and finally presses its neck on a certain spot.
The snake will then stiffen immediately and change into a staff in the hand of the snake-charmer.
This catalepsis will continue a while, after which the man will throw away the snake.
Then the snake will revive and show its characteristic threat behavior (Zimniok, 1984, page 95).

further info...states

A doctor in service of the Venetian consul in Cairo, describes the cobra trick:
After they tempered their rage, they quickly push their finger on the tip of the snake's nose, after which the animal drops as if it were dead to earth. Then the snake can be picked up by hand.
The snake stays in this sleepy condition, sometimes even a whole day long.
To wake her one has to squeeze her firmly in its tail and rub the tail until the snake awakes.
At that moment the snake will show its old rage again.
(Egli, 1982, page 51; Keimer, 1947, page 41).
 

so

 now we are ''armed'' with this new but very old information we know the Jannes and Jambres trickers were NEVER MIRACLE WORKERS at all... it only appeared to be so. BUT THE MINISTRY OF MOSES WAS.

That's what all false religions/gospels and creeds do and God is giving His saint the gift of Holy Discernment, to understand and know the truth from the trickers. amen
note well...
IT WAS THIS SAME SO CALLED MINISTRY of Jannes and Jambres [the tricky snake charmers] that CREPT INTO these silly women's houses...
 

The Ambush:

1]  The snake will choose a spot where prey are likely to be!
2]  To remain unnoticed until the prey comes within reach snakes rely on camouflage!
3]  It is also profitable when prey is less active and more easily trapped or asleep!

Then for the Eagle saints, who ARISE...
exod. 19 v 4.
Eagles are symbolic of a certain class of Christians. "But they that wait upon the Lord... shall mount up with wings as eagles" (Isaiah 40:31).
The "mounting up" process is important and necessary to the saints who are to be caught up to the throne of God, conformed to the image of the Son of God and rule and reign with Him forever.
 
the overcomers or deliverers  who come out of Zion.
perhaps the photo was a description of a true and a false church, captured in the cloud.
who are ''the clouds''?
 
you friend in Christ
