0:00.0	I'm Pastor Mike Winger and this is Bible Thinker the program dedicated to thinking
0:05.8	biblically about everything. In our continued study of Jesus in the Old Testament
0:11.0	tonight we're going to be looking at one of the strangest types
0:14.9	or representations I think of Jesus Christ is a bronze serpent, a serpent on a pole that was
0:21.5	identified by Jesus himself as being related to Jesus and his work on the

1:13.0	Jesus in John 3 verses 14 and 15. He's speaking to Nicodemus here and he says
1:17.4	as Moses lifted up the serpents in the That's where Jesus relates this. So everything I'm about to share with you is based on the fact
1:34.3	that our Lord himself said that this was related to him somehow.
1:38.2	And this is built, of course, on the foundation
1:41.8	that Jesus also said that this was what was meant
1:45.1	by the Old Testament, right? This isn't just him grabbing an example saying, hey here's an analogy
