Fiery Serpent

Num 21:6 Yahuah sent fiery serpents ( nachash) among the people and they bit the people, so that many people of Yasharal died. Num 21:7 So the people came to Masha (Moses) and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against Yahuah and you; pray to Yahuah, that He may remove the serpents from us. And Moshe(Moses) prayed about the people. Num 21:8 Then Yahuah said to Moshe, Make yourself a fiery serpent (saraph), and set it on a standard; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he shall live. Num 21:9 And Moshe made a bronze serpent (nachash nachasheth) and set it on the standard; and it came about, that if a serpent (nachash) bit any man, when he looked to the bronze serpent (nachash nachasheth), he lived. Saraph: fiery serpent Saraph: shan resh pey Shan resh put together is the word ‘prince’ and pey is the mouth. Put together ‘prince of the mouth’ That’s exactly what a ‘fiery serpent’is. It’s venom is powerful to kill. It’s interesting to see the word ‘sar’ in YashaYahu 9:6 ‘sar-shalum’ translated as prince of peace. John 3:14 “As Moshe (Moses) lifted up the alaph thu serpent (nachash) in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up”; While the fiery serpent figuratively shows how our depraved nature is full of poison the fiery serpent on the pole shows us that poison being taken by our Savior Yahusha Ha Mashiyach on the cross/stake.

Nach means ‘rest’ Nachash has the root word ‘nash’ in it which means deception

And çhash means ‘bind’

Nachash shows us the serpent pretending to rest but with the intention to bind it’s prey. Rev 1:15 And His (Yahusha’s) feet were like bronze (nachash), as if they burned in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters. Bronze/brass: Bronze speaks of judgment. In the blueprints for the Tabernacle of Moses, the altar on which sacrifices were burnt was made of bronze. Bronze is the place where sacrifice meets the heat of fire (judgment) and is consumed by it. If we look at it in the light of Yahusha, we then see something beautiful. Yahusha our sacrifice, bearing ALL our khat (measures), burnt by the wrath and fury of Alahym’s holiness, and yet, while all other sacrifices turned to ashes, Yahusha still remains. The poison of the serpent or the heat of the furnace will not eliminate him. He stands out taking our poison and wickedness on himself as he died on the stake. Ps 140:3 They sharpen their tongues as a serpent (nachash); poison of a viper is under their lips. Selah. Rom 3:13 Their throat is an open grave, with their tongues they keep deceiving, the poison of asps is under their lips; The fiery serpent ( sar pey: prince of the mouth) venom is taking by the live coal from the altar. When YashaYahu saw Yahuah in esteem he confessed that he is a man of unclean lips and dwells in the midst of a people of unclean lips Isa 6:5 Then I said, Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I live in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, Yahuah of hosts. Isa 6:6 Then one of the seraphim (saraphym) flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs. Isa 6:7 He touched it on my mouth (pey) with it and said, Behold, this has touched it on your lips ; and your iniquity is taken away and your sin is forgiven 2Ki 18:4 He (Hezekiah) removed the high places and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the groves. He broke in pieces the bronze serpent (nachasheth nachash) that Moshe had made, for until those days the sons of Yasharal burned incense to it; and he called it Nachasthan. Nachash than: Than:

Deut 23:18 You shall not bring the hire (athnan) of a harlot nor the wages of a dog into the house of Yahuah your Al for any votive offering, for even both of these are an abomination to Yahuah your Al. The word ‘than’ is rooted in ‘’athnan’’ which means ‘’hire/gift’’. This word athnan is spelled as ‘alaph thu nun nun’. It was an abomination for one to bring the hire of a whore into the house of Yahuah. We see the love of Yahuah in fulfilling Thurah in paying the price for us the whore with the price of his blood. He is the Álaph Thu’ who gave life (nun) for life (nun) and that’s what the word athnan shows. The children of Yasharal burnt incense to the brazen serpent which Masha (Moses) had made and this shows the harlotry picture. The serpent in them had bound them into a false rest (this is the spiritual meaning of nachash as seen above in this study) into harlotry. Hezekiah a son of Daud (David) zealous for the house of Yahuah breaks the nachasthan in pieces. Yasharal in flesh is occupied in carnal observances and do not see the ruach in the letter.
