In the pre-game show, our pastor starts talking about our interest in what is going on in the Middle East. And our political landscape is changing so drastically. No longer are we seeing people support politicians that have good character.
We start off letting you know about the earthquake we had early this morning. It had the same feel as the one that rocked us back in '64. But this one stopped in under a minute. We're Okay. Just a few things falling off shelves and walls. No one is hurt.
Today we are talking about the raising up of the bronze serpent lifted up in the wilderness. And pastor tells us his favorite verse. It's Deuteronomy 18:15. And he’ll explain.
We’re starting at Numbers 21:4 if you want to read along with us. Then, as we study verses 4 thru 9 we have to make a list:
A. Going Edom / Esau / Lot
B. Soul People
C. Very Discouraged
D. People Spoke Against God
E. And Moses
F. Why Wilderness Die
G. No Food No Water
H. Our Soul Hates / Loathes
I. Worthless Bread / Manna
Just getting thru the first item is taking us quite some time. Welcome to Bible study. This is the advanced class.
From here I'll be quiet so you can listen without interruption.
But wait. There’s more to the list:
J. Fiery Serpents / Bit -Many Die
K. "We have sinned" (Confession)
L. Moses Intercessor prays / Mediator
M. Make a Fiery Serpent
N. Pole / Ark
O. It Shall Be
P Everyone Bitten
Q. When He Looks
R. Shall Live
S. Bronze Serpent on a Pole
T. IF a Serpent
U. When He Looked He Lived
There you go. Now you're on your own.
