Mar 14th I am glad to be a child of The King.There are many questions to be asked today concerning the "serpent of brass" and how it was used by God to provide salvation for the children and to represent the future salvation for you and me in the person of Jesus.Please look again at verses 6-9. When we read of the story of Mary as the mother of Jesus we are faced with the option to believe this to be true or not. Each person either accepts it all to be Truth and True or none of the Bible to be true. Let those of us who believe start at verses 1-4 of Psalm 57 and be thankful and grateful that GOD has favored us with wisdom. Read to know Him and believe The Bible. pj
