Serpentine Rebellion

Earlier name for the faction's defiance of Yahweh — now treated under Theomachy as part of the same cosmic conflict.

The Serpentine Rebellion is the earlier framing for the faction of exiled creator-scientists, led by Lucifer, who defied Yahweh and the Elohim government on Earth. The rebellion's armed culmination — the war declared by the Elohim government against the Serpent — is now treated under Theomachy, and the full sequence of events (from Lucifer's defiance through the Tower of Babel to Sodom and Gomorrah) lives there.

The two terms remain useful in different registers: "Serpentine Rebellion" emphasizes the faction and its acts of defiance, while "Theomachy" emphasizes the cosmic war that those acts provoked.
