"The LORD said to Moses, 'Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live'". This action was the remedy for a plague of venomous snakes sent to punish the Israelites, acting as a test of faith and a precursor to the cross.
Key Details of Numbers 21:8
The Command: God ordered Moses to create a "fiery serpent" (bronze snake) and mount it on a pole, often interpreted as a standard or banner.
The Promise: Anyone who had been bitten by a snake, upon looking at the bronze serpent on the pole, would survive.
Symbolism: The act was designed to teach faith, as looking at a metal image to heal from a real snakebite was counterintuitive. It represented God’s judgment (the serpent) and His mercy (healing) simultaneously.
Connection to John 3:14: Jesus refers to this event in the New Testament, drawing a parallel to his own crucifixion, where looking to Him for salvation brings life.
This event happened after the Israelites complained about their food and journey, prompting the "fiery serpents" as punishment. Moses built the serpent, and those who looked upon it did indeed live.
NO MORE SNAKES!~

Green is used in vestments to indicate “Ordinary Time” outside lent, the Easter/Resurrection/Ascension/Pentecost and Advent seasons.
The snake on the pole (used by “medicos”) references Numbers 21:8.
Did you know that very verse foretells Christ being made sin and dying on the cross to save us?
Yes. The New Testament is revealed in the OT. That’s why the “OT is no longer relevant” is such a wrong belief.

Did/do you listen to Chuck Missler?
Well done Boonies! 👏
Bravo fren! ✨👏
