I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life,
from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish.”

Genesis 7:21-23
And all flesh that moved on the earth perished, birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming
thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind; of all that was on the dry land, all in whose
nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died. Thus He blotted out every living thing that was
upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky, and they
were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him
in the ark.

These verses are quite clear. No possibility is allowed for any living creature on the earth to have
survived other than Noah, and those with him on the ark. This, of course, is a difficult Scriptural
obstacle to get around, so some suggest that the bloodline of Satan was carried in the wives of Noah’s
daughter-in laws. This too does not stand up to scrutiny, for Yahweh made a covenant with Noah and
his descendants. He pronounced a blessing and fruitfulness on the children brought forth by those who
found safety in the ark. Yahweh would not speak a blessing upon the descendants of Satan.

Genesis 9:1-9
And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth...
And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it.” Then God
spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying, “Now behold, I Myself do establish My covenant
with you, and with your descendants after you...”

It hardly seems coincidental that Noah was instructed to take seven of every clean kind of animal with
him on the ark, and that Noah carried seven people with him (his wife, his three sons, and their three
wives). Of the unclean animals he was commanded to take them by twos (Genesis 7:2). This fact does
not support the contention that Noah took the unclean descendants of Satan with him on the ark. It
is unreasonable to suggest that God would begin over with mankind by populating the earth with the
descendants of the Nephilim, or of the serpent’s seed.

Wrapping Up

Some who hold to the serpent’s seed doctrine have used it to justify racial prejudice. Arnold Murray
claims that the Jews, or those masquerading as Jews, are the descendants of the serpent and Eve, a
people he calls “the Kenites.” Murray has a television and radio broadcast and is heard on 225
stations, an audience that some have numbered in the millions. Murray has links to the Christian
Identity movement, a loose affiliation of churches and organizations with a white supremacy agenda.
His 1958 minister’s license was signed by two white supremacists (Murray is in his 80s). Among
adherents of the Christian Identity movement, Cain is viewed as the first Jew, which according to
their doctrine means he, and the Jews, are descended from Satan.

I am not suggesting that Arnold Murray is a white supremacist (he does have a small number of black
members in his church). He disavows racism, other than demonizing Kenites. Murray will not come
right out and say Kenites are Jews, though he has made many statements that demonstrate this to be
