Why Did Moses Remove His Shoes in Front of the Burning Bush? What Is the Significance of Parting the Red Sea? How Old Was Moses When He Died According to the Bible? What Does the Bible Teach Us about Moses and the Snake? Taken from " Reborn - The Declaration ( John 3:1-15) " by Wisdom for the Heart Ministries (used by permission).ĭo We Really See Moses and Ramses in the Bible? He descended from heaven, so that he could be raised up on a cross. Look – on a wooden pole – a cross is the dying Savior. We have been bitten by sin, and it is a mortal wound. My friend, you can join a society, a church, sign a pledge card, go through Bible lessons and catechisms, give money, get baptized. Salvation, spiritual healing, re-birth comes from simply looking at Him, and, in that look, believing that hope comes only from trust in Him. That incident in Israel’s history became a prefiguring of Jesus Christ on a cross, lifted up, who became wicked sin for us. Nothing but death awaited them unless God provided the remedy. The fact that they were not told to make a human remedy is indicative of the greater fact that there is no human remedy for sin. Why not develop medicine? Why not require them to work for a cure? It would have given them all something to do and would have satisfied every natural instinct of the heart to work on behalf of its own cure. Those who looked up at the serpent were healed. The people cried out for mercy and God instructed Moses to make a brass serpent, put it on a pole, and hold it up in the midst of the camp. God sent a plague of deadly serpents, called fiery serpents, simply because fire, or a fever, that ultimately led to death, was the predominate result of their bite. In the book of Numbers, we find the Israelites in rebellion against God. These verses refer us back to one of the most unique stories in the Old Testament. Why Does Jesus Compare Himself to Moses' Snake?Īnd as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up that whoever believes may in Him have eternal life. He lived out in the desert of Midian for 40 years, became a husband to Tharbis and Zipporah, and a father to Gershom and Eliezer. Pharaoh found out what Moses had done and tried to kill him. We know we deal with fear, but so did Moses. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?” The man said, “Who made you ruler and judge over us? Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought, “What I did must have become known.” ( Exodus 2:13-14) 5. "The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. Not the greatest coverup because the next day, a Hebrew slave called him out on it. When Moses saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew slave the Bible says, “Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand” ( Exodus 2:12). He grew up in the palace but knew he was a Hebrew. After Moses was weaned, the Pharaoh’s daughter raised him in the palace surrounded by all the luxuries of Egypt.
