SERPENT ON THE POLE

 

Joh 3:14 And even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 

Joh 3:15 that everyone believing into Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


So let's look at that story so we can see what Yeshua was talking about.


Num 21:5-9 And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul hates this light bread.

And Yehovah sent fiery serpents among the people; and they bit the people, and many people of Israel died.

And the people came in to Moses and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against Yehovah, and against you. Pray to Jehovah, and He shall turn the serpent away from us. And Moses prayed on behalf of the people.

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, Make yourself a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that when anyone is bitten, when he sees it, he shall live.

And Moses made a serpent of bronze and put it on a pole; and it happened, if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the bronze serpent, he lived

Joh 6:32 Then Yeshua said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses has not given you the bread out of Heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread out of Heaven.

Joh 6:35 Yeshua said to them, I am the Bread of life; the one coming to Me will not at all hunger, and the one believing into Me will not thirst, never!

Joh 6:36 But I said to you that you also have seen Me and did not believe.



1Pe 2:24 who "Himself carried up in His body our sins" onto the tree; that dying to sins, we might live to righteousness, of whom "by His wound you were healed."

Note what happened. The serpent was the punishment for Israel's sin's. Making an idol is sin. Moses, the one like Messiah, made the likeness and put it on a pole. All the people had to do is look at the Dead image of their sin's to live. They had already confessed their sin.

Num 21:7 And the people came in to Moses and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against Jehovah, and against you. Pray to Jehovah, and He shall turn the serpent away from us. And Moses prayed on behalf of the people.

Today Many claim the Cross with no repentance. And many more don't live to Righteousness. Righteousness is following the Covenant or Keeping the 10 Commandments.

أخبار جيدة، الإنجيل؟ مرقس 1: 1-9 بدء إنجيل يسوع المسيح ابن الله كما هو مكتوب في الأنبياء: ها أنا أرسل أمام وجهك ملاكي الذي يهيء طريقك قدامك. الصارخ في البرية أعدوا طريق الرب اصنعوا سبله مستقيمة." مال. 3:1؛ هو. 40:3 جاء يوحنا يعمد في البرية ويعلن معمودية التوبة لمغفرة الخطايا. وكان يخرج إليه جميع كورة اليهودية وأهل أورشليم، ويعتمدون جميعهم على يده في نهر الأردن، معترفين بخطاياهم. وكان يوحنا يلبس وبر الإبل وعلى حقويه منطقة من جلد ويأكل جرادا وعسلا بريا. ونادى قائلاً: إن الذي يأتي بعدي هو أقوى مني، الذي لست أهلاً لأن أنحني لأحل سيور حذائه. أنا عمدتكم بالماء، وأما هو فسيعمدكم بالروح القدس. مرقس 1: 14-15 وبعدما أسلم يوحنا جاء يسوع إلى الجليل يكرز ببشارة ملكوت الله ويقول: قد كمل الوقت واقترب ملكوت الله. توبوا وآمنوا بالإنجيل. لوقا 20: 1-2 وفي أحد تلك الأيام، بينما هو يعلم الشعب ويبشر في الهيكل، جاء رؤساء الكهنة والكتبة والشيوخ وكلموه قائلين: أخبرنا بأي سلطان تفعل هذه الأشياء، أو من هو الذي أعطاك هذا السلطان؟ (لاوي أو ملكيصادق) عب 3: 12-4: 7 انظر...

The New Covenant

  The New Covenant    Jer 31:31-36 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah , not like The Covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My Covenant that they broke , though I was their husband, declares the LORD.    For this is the Covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my Torah within them, and I will write it on their hearts . And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.    And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they shall all know Me , from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”     Note:  John 14: 7-15    Thus says the LORD, who gives t...

Sign of the our Marriage Covenant

  Sign of the our Marriage Covenant Ex 31:12-18 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death . Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever : for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he reste...
