There were several drawings in the oracle shown as “serpent”.
The last two pictures were used many times in the Ancient Chinese Oracle drawings.
The following oracle painted the settlements outside the Temple is smiliar to the tabernacle of Moses,“Set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation” (Exodus 40:6) and “set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar” (Exodus 40:7). This oracle is shown as “peace, quiet”.
Sacrifice was burned on the altar of the burnt offering for the people’s sin.
This oracle is shown where the offering burned.
The Chinese oracle characters were also shown that there was a serpent climbed on the rod of iron and tried to reach the place where the sacrifice was burned.
Before he could reach the place, his plan to offer himself as a burn offering was turned down. The oracle showed that the altar of burnt offering fell.
This oracle shown as "mourn", of course, in most of oriental countries, the time for mourning is the time for weeping.
Then the serpent was fallen, this oracle shown as "danger".
"1 And I, the Lord God, spake unto Moses, saying: That Satan, whom thou hast commanded in the name of mine Only Begotten, is the same which was from the beginning, and he came before me, saying—Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost, and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor.
2 But, behold, my Beloved Son, which was my Beloved and Chosen from the beginning, said unto me—Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever.
3 Wherefore, because that Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be cast down;"(Moses 4:1-3)
" 25 And this we saw also, and bear record, that an angel of God who was in authority in the presence of God, who rebelled against the Only Begotten Son whom the Father loved and who was in the bosom of the Father, was thrust down from the presence of God and the Son,
26 And was called Perdition, for the heavens wept over him—he was Lucifer, a son of the morning.
27 And we beheld, and lo, he is fallen! is fallen, even a son of the morning!"(D&C 76:25-26)
"12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time."(Revelation 12:12)
