The Brass Serpent Numbers 21:1-9
The Brass Serpent Numbers 21:1-9
This past week, a dear friend and family member died unexpectedly. It was important that we take the time to minister to our family in this time of need. Therefore, we were not able to do our studies in Ephesians and Genesis. However, next week, Lord willing we will be sending out new studies in these great books.What I do want to send out is a replay of a message that we posted on Sunday, December 18th. It is a message from the Old Testament that gives a great presentation of the gospel. God graciously allowed me to share this message with my dear friend and family member before the Lord took him. The Lord provided a prepared heart and an open door. How I pray that God brought the increase. It is my prayer that we will have a great re-union in the not-so-distant future.I wanted to share this message with you in hopes that God would put it on your heart to share it with someone who needs God's great salvation through His Son Jesus. May God prepare a heart and open a door to share the glorious gospel of His great salvation.

Chapter 21
1
And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
2
And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
3
And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
4
And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
5
And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
7
Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
8
And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
9
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.
