| | The Truth About "The God Makers," 14 |
 | | The serpent is sometimes representative of Satan and evil, as in the Garden of Eden occurrences, but sometimes the serpent also represents Christ, as when Moses put a serpent on a pole to show the children of Israel the symbol of Christ's coming atonement. |
 | | The fact that the feathers are part of the Quetzalcoatl image, some have speculated, is because Christ, when he visited the Western Hemisphere, descended from the heavens; hence the bird-like portion of the serpent. |
 | | Latter-day Saints believe that since the feathered serpent figure represents a white god, the origin of this concept could be a belief in Christ's appearance in ancient America. |
