Let’s take one illustration of Jesus within the last 8 events. The Serpent on the pole in Numbers 21:4-10. 1. The people spoke against God, grumbling to him for bringing them out of Egypt. (As if Egypt was a great place to live !) 2. In judgement the Lord sent venomous snakes among the people. Many Israelites died. 3. They recognised that they had sinned and asked God for forgiveness. 4. Rather than removing the snakes, God provided a way to deal with the deadly venom that was killing them. 5. Moses built a model snake and placed it on a pole. Now if anyone had been bitten, they could trust in God ,“Look and you will live.”
