Bronze snake(old testament)

[fex]

HI,

Does the bronze serpent in old testament that Yahweh order to made is the prophesy for cross in new testament?

 

[love4mary]

Yes!

Just look at the similarities of the two to gain a better understanding. The snake on the staff forshadows Jesus on the Cross. The result of both was Healing.

Hi fex, welcome to the forums.

According to Our Lord, yes, the bronze serpent and his crucifixion are related (John 3:14-16):

“And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.
God Bless,
VC

it means healing,that is why the logo for the medical profession has the post with the serpent draped on it,because a snake sheds its skin and grows another.

When the Israelites gazed on the serpent, they were protected from the effects of the snakes.

Just as when we keep our gaze focused on Christ (on the Cross), we are protected from the effects of “The real serpent”, Satan.
