Bible Question: Refer to John 3:14-15 and Numbers 21:9 -- Moses simply mounted a bronze serpent on a pole. In John's verse, Jesus implied His glorification at His cruci-fixion and resurrection for the healing af all.

For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me," |
