This has always been part of my belief.

John 3

13 No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man.

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,

15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life."

You have always been right to have those three verses as part of the structure to your faith.

Since I was a boy when I first learned the verse, I had known this. It was part of my Sunday School lesson when I was 8.



I must now go do yard work before it gets too hot. Supposed to hit 103 today.

I think it's worth noting that it was a staff with the snake on the staff that they were to look towards, not an empty staff to represent victory over the poison of the serpent.
