Please consult Geerhardus Vos, Biblical Theology, pp. 33, 34. He states it well when he says, "It therefore becomes necessary to adopt the old, traditional view according to wich there were present both a real serpent and a demonic power, who made use of the former to carry out his plan. So far from there being anything impossible in this, it finds a close analogy in the demoniacs of the Gospels, through whose mouths demons speak."
