Let’s read a little farther. Don’t bow down to them. Don’t serve them. Destroy their images. You shall serve the Lord your God. And He shall bless thy bread and thy water; and I will take sickness out of the midst of thee. (Hallelujah.) God said that. If God said that in the type of the journey, how much more He—is He in the actual journey? If a brass serpent would take the sickness out of the midst, what will Jesus Christ do? And Jesus said, “As (the same reason, a compound reason.) Moses lifted up the brass serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man.” They were sinned against God and against Moses and they were sick because they did it. And the ant—or the type taking away sickness, what will the antitype do? If a brass serpent did it, what will Jesus Christ do? He said, “As the Son of man…As Moses lifted up the brass serpent, so must the Son of man be lifted up.”
