The Bronze Serpent and Jesus

- What is it about the bronze serpent account (Number 21:4-9) that made it the ideal example of the “lifting up” of Jesus? How is Nicodemus the representative Israelite? What is the dual meaning of the Greek verb “lift up”? How does the Greek translation of Isaiah 52:13 provide the background for John 3? And, in the famous John 3:16 passage, did God love the world “so much” or “in this way”? @chadbird1517 explores all these questions in this week’s episode of “Reading the Gospels through Hebrew Eyes” as he focuses on John 3:14-16.
I am a follower of the Man who Defeated Death! Hallelujah!
May He Be Lifted Up! 🙌
Awesome Teaching!! I love it and thank you
Chad, thanks for reminding us that when we teach, we need to take time to familiarize our hearers with passages of Scripture that they may not be familiar with. It's easy (and dicey) to assume that everyone knows where we are when we step off into a passage. Wonderful stuff today. Hoping to meet you in Michigan next weekend.
Thank you, Craig! I look forward to seeing you then.
Jesus was crucified Wed. April 12 then rose three days and three nights later. Read the bible. Study Jewish culture. Stop celebrating the pagan festival of "Ishtar" (Easter), an invention of the demonic Roman Catholic cult.
Brilliant
Love hearing the Hebrew roots. Just subscribed 😊
Beautiful insights!
I am trying to figure out the term ‘fiery serpents’. It seems to be the same Hebrew word that is used in Isaiah 6. Is it a fiery serpent that declares “Holy, Holy, Holy.........”?
The Hebrew word commonly translated in Numbers 21 as "fiery" (and sometimes just transliterated as "seraph") is שָׂרַף (saraph). The verb means "to burn" and thus the translation "fiery." This root word is the basis of the seraphim of Isaiah 6. Many scholars believe the seraphim to be winged serpents, linked to the Egyptian griffin or Uraeus serpent. This view has not gone unchallenged, however. In the entry of the Theological Dictionary of the OT on this Hebrew word, the author states that "At least according to the book of Isaiah, the seraphim need not have had the form of a serpent." Indeed, the only physical description we have of them speaks of their hands, feet, wings, and face, which is suggestive of a human-type form, such as some of the humanoid beings in Ezekiel who bear the throne of YHWH. Back in Numbers 21, the seraph is certainly linked with the serpents, but how is uncertain.

Radical Corruption found in Genesis 3:16 with supportive cross references
Psalm 7:14
Behold, the wicked man conceives evil
and is pregnant with mischief
and gives birth to lies.
Genesis 3:16
To the woman He said,
I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he [Adamic Nature] shall rule over you.
James 1:14-15
But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.
Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.
Romans 7:5
For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.
The way I see it nico was being a smarty pants. He was pharisees, a ruler, obviously he knows he cant be born again through the womb. I met a man like that recently, instead of just asking because he is proudful and im.a female He likes to pick at my brain by suggesting, throwing it our there, seeing what i will say.
Yea, same guy uninvites me on sunday because he claims i wouldn't like his topic. 😂
