[QUOTE="ravneet_sb, post: 207982, member: 13679"] Jesus has been explaining to Nicodemus that He has come from heaven and has seen it. He also says that He is in heaven. He is present everywhere. The story He uses about Moses comes from [B]Numbers 21:4-9[/B]. In this story, there was nothing a person who was bitten by the snakes could do to save themselves. God told Moses to put a snake on a pole. If they just looked, they would be saved. [SIZE=4][B][/B] [B]Arad Destroyed[/B][/SIZE] 21 When the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming along the road to Atharim, he attacked the Israelites and captured some of them. 2 Then Israel made this vow to the Lord: “If you will deliver these people into our hands, we will totally destroya]">[[URL='https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%2021&version=NIV#fen-NIV-4343a']a[/URL]] their cities.” 3 The Lord listened to Israel’s plea and gave the Canaanites over to them. They completely destroyed them and their towns; so the place was named Hormah.b]">[[URL='https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%2021&version=NIV#fen-NIV-4344b']b[/URL]] [SIZE=4][B]The Bronze Snake[/B][/SIZE] 4 They traveled from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea,c]">[[URL='https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%2021&version=NIV#fen-NIV-4345c']c[/URL]] to go around Edom. But the people grew impatient on the way; 5 they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread! There is no water! And we detest this miserable food!” 6 Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died. 7 The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. 8 The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived. [SIZE=4][B]The Journey to Moab[/B][/SIZE] 10 The Israelites moved on and camped at Oboth. 11 Then they set out from Oboth and camped in Iye Abarim, in the wilderness that faces Moab toward the sunrise. 12 From there they moved on and camped in the Zered Valley. 13 They set out from there and camped alongside the Arnon, which is in the wilderness extending into Amorite territory. The Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 14 That is why the Book of the Wars of the Lord says: “. . . Zahabd]">[[URL='https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%2021&version=NIV#fen-NIV-4355d']d[/URL]] in Suphah and the ravines, the Arnon 15 ande]">[[URL='https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%2021&version=NIV#fen-NIV-4356e']e[/URL]] the slopes of the ravines that lead to the settlement of Ar and lie along the border of Moab.” 16 From there they continued on to Beer, the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Gather the people together and I will give them water.” 17 Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well! Sing about it, 18 about the well that the princes dug, that the nobles of the people sank— the nobles with scepters and staffs.” Then they went from the wilderness to Mattanah, 19 from Mattanah to Nahaliel, from Nahaliel to Bamoth, 20 and from Bamoth to the valley in Moab where the top of Pisgah overlooks the wasteland. REVIEW Please forgive me if It appears to me as false notion to my mind. This is for review, comment or just reject thought how it comes to my mind. Number 21:4-9 appears to be metaphor, to make human mind understand. Evil is like a deadly snake, which kills humans. "God" or "NATURE" has give learning to make the snake appear to eyes before it kills, by making bronze icon. It is not the eye which actually see, it is just the instrument, actually its mind which makes the world visible through our eyes, but at first place, on shall have input to mind, before eyes can see. This is training the human mind For HUMANS to visualise EVIL through study or icon before it kills the human society, Focus is on creating an ICON of evil to make human mind understand, before it actually appears. Religion is about awareness of ones "OWN MIND" through "MIND AWARENESS" Before "one's MIND Learns" one must know how "MIND LEARNS" One must learn subject with "visual objective" otherwise subjective education is false education. Please correct my notion about the text. Waheguru Ji Da Khalsa Waheguru Ji KI Fateh [/QUOTE]
