"That part of the desert is greatly infested with venomous reptiles of different kinds, particularly lizards, which raise themselves in the air and swing themselves from branches, and scorpions, which, being in the habit of lying among long grass, are very dan. gerous to the bare-legged, sandaled peo- ple of the East."--), F. k B. "These serpents are called Tiery,' either from their color, their rage, or the effects of their bitings, inflaming the body, put- ting it immediately into a high fever, scorching it with unsatisfied thirst. They had unjustly complained for want of water, to chastise them far which God sends on them this thirst which no water would quench. They had concluded they must die in the wilderness, and God took them at their word, so that many did die." God had wonderfully preserv- ed His people from these serpents, until they murmured. This was a just punish- ment for their "nthankfulnests. Ill. Israel forgiven and saved (vs. 7-9). 7.

It is the highest peak in the sandstorm ridge of Mount Seir, which extends along the eastern side of the Arahah, from near the Dead Sea, to the Gulf of Akaha. Way of the Red Sea. The Israelites were now ready to enter the land of promise. But from Mount Hor the march into southern Canaan was im- practicable on account of the mountains. The Edomites would not permit them to cross their mountains, so they were obliged totakealong tour to the south and march around Mount Seir to Elntt; the northern point of the eastern gulf of the Red Sea, and born there journey through Edam to the Jordan. Much dis. couratted--Ther had expected to enter Canaan at once and their disappoint- ment vexed them. They were obliged to make a long journey right away from Canaan, through a desolate region. 5.

But in the promise to Abrshsm (Gen. 15; 16) we have an intimation ot the judgments that would fall upon the Amorites when their iniquity should be full. That time had now arrived; their wickedness was so great that they were to be utterly destroyed. "There is a certain pitch of iniquity to which no- tions may arrive before they are de- stroyed, and beyond which God will not permit them to pass." 3.

And Christ uid, As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wild. erness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up" (John 3. 14). 1. As Moses lift- ed up the serpent by divine appointment (v. 8), so Christ was appointed by God to die for the world. "For God so loved" (John 3. 14-16). "God sent his. . .. Son" " John 4. 9). 2 As every one that look- ed lived (v. fl), so whosoever believeth in Him shall have eternal life (John 3. 15). Joins declared, "This is the will of Him that sent me, that every one which (seeth the Son. and believeth on Him, (may have everlasting life" (John 6. 40). Christ tasted death for every one (Mark 7. l4). 3. As every one that looked (v. 8) lived. so he that believeth hath ever- lasting life (John 5. 24). To look is to be- lieve, and to believe is to live. We "live by faith" (Rom. I. 17; G. 20, 21). 4. As Moses, the servant of God, put the eer- pent of brass upon a pole (v. 9), so now his servants, by tho preaching of thei word. lift up Christ as the crucified One ( (Gal. 3. I). For them is this promise, “I. if I be lifted up hom the earth. will draw all men unto me" (John 12. 32). 5. As there was no apparent connection between the serpent and the healing. no the preaching of Christ crucified is a "I. . .have determined already----in the name of our Lord. . .. to deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesr, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus" " Cor. 5: 3-5. margin). Rekrring to those who suffered from weakness and sickness and death because they received the Lord's supper "unworthily," he writes.. "When We are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be eotpt demned with the world" (1 Cor. ll:32). Because God loves us he permits Satan to sting us. "Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth" (Heb. 12:6). To avoid the serpent's bite we must avoid sin. If we would not "tempt Christ as some of them also tempted, and were destroy- ed of serpents; neither murmur....as some of them also murmured and were destroyed of the destroyer" (2 Cor. l0: 9. 10). Let us (1) be contented with what God gives (Heb. 13:5). (2) Be re- signed concerning what God takes (Matt. 6:10). (3) By prayer and tsupplication with thanksgiving make our requests known unto God (Phil. 4:6, 7). (4) Re- joice in the Lord always (Phil. 4:4). (5) Follow Christ who is "the way" (John 14:6). (6) Care more for inward ex- perience than for outward conditions " Co:. 2:2). (7) Believe that all things work together for good (Rom. 8:28). evil speaking (Pisa. 140:3), deceit (Psalm 58:3, 4: Rom. 3:13), death (I Cor. I5: M). They all spring from Satan. None have escaped his bite. "For all have sinned" (Rom. 3:23). A: "the Lord sent fiery serpents" (v. 6), so the Lord?!- mits Satan's stings. Paul writes to im- othy of Hymenaeus and Alexander, "de livered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme" (1 Tim. 1:20). Writ. ing concerning a grievous sin, he say}: evif and we wiah we might "die," if we find fault beam of any scarcity in our lives, if we itomplain because the weath- er is hot, we are “speaking agaimt God," and we displease Him (Nam. ll. 1; 14. 27-34), and we are in danger of the ser- pent'n bite. _ ll. Israel's sunning. "The Lord sent fiery serpents among the people. and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died"(v. 6). As the people were bitten by fiery serpents, so the sinner is bitten by "that old serpent the devil" (Rev. 12:9). That camp-bitten, suffer- ing people is a picture of the world (1 John 5:19, It. \'.),’with its poisonous nurpent. Strong drink (Prov. 23:31,32), the 99mm mm (4) personally look at the brazen serpent. The sinner must take the same steps in coming to Christ. "A literal rendering of thineme justifies the conclusion that the serpents were not taken any, but that they con- ‘tinued to snnoy the people and to kill those who deqtised the randy. How long the brazen serpent continued to be lined up in the amp we know not, but probably during the remainder of their journey.
