God provided an ark for the saving of the household of Noah and his family. God prepared twelve stones by Elijah one time, for the preserving of the children of Israel. God’s always made a provided way. When they was in the wilderness, and the first thing you know, sin set in. Now, watch! Here’s one for the unbeliever. When they begin to chide against Moses, and they sinned, God told Moses to lift up a brass serpent. We had time to go in details to see what that serpent meant, what the brass Divine judgment, what the serpent sin already judged, so forth. All the symbols, and when this serpent was lifted up, it was for a compound reason: A reason that man had sinned, and were sick. And they looked, and asked forgiveness and looked on the brass serpent. And whoever looked and believed was made whole.
