The anointed cherub in Ezekiel 28:14 is the created angelic being once in heaven, near the throne of God, who played instruments in the heavenly praise of God. Until, one day, he sought that same sort of praise to himself, being full of pride and beauty. And became Satan, the adversary against God and man, who God created also. The name Satan means "adversary".

The serpent in the garden that tricked Eve and Adam into sin by eating from the forbidden tree, was of the beasts of the field, i.e. beasts that God created. The serpent got his name as the serpent from Adam.

Genesis 3:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

So the most human-like beast of the field - Adam named as the serpent. Satan, the adversary to God and man, spoke through the serpent to get Eve and Adam to sin.

Revelation 12:9 documents the connection between Satan and the serpent beast. Both of which are deceivers.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Satan:
The anointed cherub > sought to be worshiped himself and became Satan, the adversary > entered the serpent beast to deceive Eve and Adam to sin> became the power, the prince of the air > became the red dragon who sought to have baby Jesus killed > now goes about like a roaring lion seeking who he can destroy > will enter the man of sin to commit the transgression of desolation > will be cast down to earth from the second heaven > will then indwell the statue image of the beast-king > will be exposed on the temple mount that everyone will see him when Jesus returns > and will bound in chains and cast into the bottomless pit prison for a thousand years to be a terror no more.

the serpent:
The serpent beast, used by Satan in the garden of Eden, died and his spirit sent to the bottomless pit. Someday, as a disembodied spirit will be allowed to come out of the bottomless pit and possess the revealed man of sin, at the time the slain man of sin is brought back to life. The possessed returned to life man of sin is called the beast in Revelation 13.

the Antichrist:
The common name for the end times person of evil. He begins as the little horn person > then becomes the prince who shall come > then becomes the Antichrist > then becomes the revealed man of sin > then becomes the beast-king.

You:
a child of God, anyone who has been saved by believing upon Jesus, His death on the cross for atonement of your sins, and His resurrection, for eternal life, looking forward to the redemption of your body.
