Chnoubis is the Gnostic Agathodaemon (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.
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.
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).
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 the 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.
Even the Commandments:
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.
