“And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.”
Numbers 21:9 KJV
The bronze serpent clearly points toward the crucified Saviour. When many were bitten by the fiery serpents, whoever looked at this bronze serpent was made alive. The power of poison was broken. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. The Israelites complaining was demon inspired. It was doubt and constant complaining that poisoned them. The demon spirit of Edom caused them to speak against God and His servants. In Christ, both the flesh and the territorial spirits were destroyed on the Cross. As long as we walk in Christ, we are demon-proof. A thousand may fall at our right or left but they cannot hurt us. As we repent, we look to the Cross, the resurrected Lord Jesus drives out all fiery serpents from our territory. Hallelujah!
