But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! – 1 Cor. 15:57.

Typified:

The Israelites left Mount Hor by the road that leads to the Gulf of Aqaba, in order to go round the territory of Edom. But on the way the people lost their patience and spoke against God and Moses.

They complained, “Why did you bring us out of Egypt to die in this desert, where there is no food or water? We can’t stand any more of this miserable food!” Then the LORD sent poisonous snakes among the people, and manty Israelites were bitten and died. The people cam e to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the LORD and against you. Now pray to the LORD to take these snakes away.

So Moses prayed for the people. Then the LORD told Moses to make a metal snake and put it on a pole, so that anyone who was bitten could look at it and be healed. So Moses made a bronze snake and put it on a pole. Anyone who had been bitten would look at the bronze snake and be healed. – Num. 21:4-9.

As Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the desert, in the same way the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. – John 3:14,15.
