Numbers 21:8-9 And the LORD said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.” So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.
When God sent a horde of serpents among the people to judge them for their sin of unbelief, Moses was told to make a bronze replica of those snakes, place it on a pole and then raise it up for all to see. Any who would look to the serpent on the pole he would be healed. Now was there something magical about this bronze snake? Not at all. But it took faith to believe by merely looking at such a thing would bring healing.
Jesus makes reference to this bronze serpent in John 3:14-15, as he says, "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life."
My friend, have YOU believed in Jesus? Do you have the faith that will save you from the wrath of God that is clearly coming? It's never too soon nor too late to do so!
