16:5-7<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


[5] For when the horrible fierceness of beasts came upon these, and they perished with the stings of crooked serpents, your wrath endured not for ever:<\/em>
[6] But they were troubled for a small season, that they might be admonished, having a sign of salvation, to put them in remembrance of the commandment of your Torah.<\/em>
[7] For he that turned himself toward it was not saved by the thing that he saw, but by you, that are the Savior of all.<\/em>
(Wisdom of Solomon 16:5-7)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This refers back to an event recorded in the Torah:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 And YHWH sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, and much people of Yisra\u2019el died.
7 And the people came to Moshe, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against YHWH, and against you. Pray unto YHWH, that He take away the serpents from us. And Moshe prayed for the people.
8 And YHWH said unto Moshe: Make you a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole. And it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten \u2026 when he sees it, shall live.
9 And Moshe made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the pole. And it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto the serpent of brass, he lived.
(Numbers 21:6-9)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Wisdom of Solomon we are told that this \u201cfiery serpent\u201d represented a \u201csign of salvation (Yeshua)\u201d the \u201cSavior of all\u201d: (\u201cYeshua is Hebrew for \u201csalvation\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Good News according to Yochanan , Messiah boldly identified himself as this \u201cSavior\u201d saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13 And no man has ascended into heaven, but He who descended from heaven\u2013 the Son of Man, who is in heaven.<\/em>
14 And as Moshe raised up the serpent in the wilderness, thus the Son of Man will be raised,<\/em>
15 So that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.<\/em>
(John 3:13-15 NHRV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

28 Yeshua said to them again: When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He. And I did not do a thing of My own, but as My Father taught Me, so I speak.<\/em>
(John 8:28 NHRV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

32 And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to Me.<\/em>
(John 12:32 NHRV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why was this serpent a type of Messiah? Because the gematria (numerical value) of the Hebrew word for \u201cserpent\u201d (\u05e0\u05d7\u05e9) is 358 which is also the gematria of the word \u201cMessiah\u201d (\u05de\u05e9\u05d9\u05d7) 358 is also the gematria for the phrase \u201cShiloh comes\u201d (\u05d9\u05d1\u05d0 \u05e9\u05d9\u05dc\u05d4) (Gen. 49:10). This is why the Talmud says that \u201cShiloh\u201d is one of the names of Messiah (b.San. 98b) and why the Targums paraphrase the word \u201cShiloh\u201d as \u201cMessiah\u201d in in Gen. 49:10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
