"ABCD" in FB page who gave the vlog is emphasizing a strong spiritual warning and call to decision based on Romans 11:7–11, highlighting the contrast between trusting Jesus and falling into deception or spiritual complacency—what you’re calling the "trap of the Serpent."

Here’s a brief contextual summary for clarity:

Romans 11:7–11 (Context)
In this section, Paul discusses Israel’s spiritual state:

Verses 7–8 speak about how some of Israel were "hardened" and did not obtain what they sought, while a remnant (chosen by grace) did.

Verse 9, quoting David, says:
“Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them.”
This suggests that what they relied on (perhaps their religious practices or traditions) became a spiritual trap due to their unbelief.

Verses 10–11 emphasize that Israel’s stumbling isn’t final—it opens a way for Gentiles (the Church) to come in, and ultimately it points toward hope for Israel’s restoration.

Your Main Point
You're connecting this with today’s world, saying:

We may be caught in a “trap”—whether it's sin, comfort, or misplaced trust (even in good things, like food or tradition).

We must choose salvation, i.e., to trust Jesus, instead of staying deceived.

The "Serpent" represents sin and temptation—offering what we think we want, but leading away from life.

That’s a passionate and urgent reminder, especially for those unsure of their spiritual stance.
