Question: What was the significance of Moses making a snake of brass and holding it up in front of the people?
Google: The image is described in the Book of Numbers, where Yahweh instructed Moses to erect it so that the Israelites who saw it would be cured and be protected from dying from the bites of the "fiery serpents", which Yahweh had sent to punish them for speaking against him and Moses (Numbers 21:4–9).
The whole incident is a precursor to the Crucifixion of Christ Jesus on the cross of Calvary!
The rebellion of the Israelites against Moses and God Almighty, was alleviated for those who chose to “look upon the serpent”, and their sin was forgiven them, and they lived!
Those who choose to look upon The crucified Jesus are forgiven their sin, and are raised eventually to eternal life!
