You failed. And I showed you whyI tried, but you refuse to acknowledge my proofs.
Never really thought of this. Only think I can quickly think of is the snakes were what was killing the people. so the bronze serpent healed.Why did God use the symbol of a Snake, to represent Christ on the Cross?
When you respond, you may have to be wise as a serpent, harmless as a doveWhy did God use the symbol of a Snake, to represent Christ on the Cross?
It has to do with the Conversation about Penal Substitutionary Atonement on the other Thread. The Fiery Serpents are symbolic of Sin, the Serpent on the Cross is Christ becoming Sin on our behalf...Never really thought of this.

Its interesting that the medical symbol for the military and other services is a snake on a pole, (actually two serpents)

I accept that! makes total sense..It has to do with the Conversation about Penal Substitutionary Atonement on the other Thread. The Fiery Serpents are symbolic of Sin, the Serpent on the Cross is Christ becoming Sin on our behalf...
PSA was Prophesied. Salvation from Sin, requires God's Punishment of it...
Amen...I accept that! makes total sense..
He who knew no sin became sin
Moses could not enter the promised land not because he had done anything wrong, but because God did not need another king to lead his people. God needed to lead them himself.Amen...
And Moses not being able to bear the Serpent Cross, symbolizes that we can't be Saved by the Law. Moses was only allowed to peer into the Promised Land; not enter it. The Law leads us to Christ. Joshua, Yeshua (Jesus), leads God's people into the Promised Land...

Sorry to disagree, Moses did not enter the promise land because of his disobedience. Pay attention to verses 51 and 52Moses could not enter the promised land not because he had done anything wrong, but because God did not need another king to lead his people. God needed to lead them himself.
But then there was a king, because Jesus Christ was coming, because Jesus Christ is the king.
You're referring to Numbers 21:7-9Why did God use the symbol of a Snake, to represent Christ on the Cross?
