This week’s meditation: Psalms 69: 1-36

Scripture: Numbers 31: 4-9

Title: Do you judge your sins daily?

         God gave a very important doctrine and lessons for all of us through the events that happened to the Israelites in the wilderness long time ago.

        The Israelites rebelled against Moses as well as the LORD God repeatedly whenever their soul was discouraged  in the wilderness. They even tried to stone Moses, servant of God unto death.. They rebelled against Moses and God because they did not believe in the power of God. Because they did not believe in a God, they limited the power of God.

         The Holy Ghost testified of the things they did not believe in God: ” Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness… Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel “(Psalm 78: 19,41)

           This time, God chastened them sending  fiery serpents in the midst of  the people of Israel to bite them. May of them died bitten by the fiery serpents. Then, they repented of their rebellion against the Lord and his servant Moses, and asked Moses to pray the LORD. God heard the prayer of Moses, God forgave them giving them that were bitten by the serpents not to die but to live. God of mercy always forgives us whenever we repent opening the way not only for the people of Israel as well as the children of God to flee.

          God opened the way to live for those who are dying, but the power of healing was manifested only to those who believe in His Word, and did according to the word of God..  God spoke to Moses : ” Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.” (Numbers 21:08)

        Man of faith, Moses made a serpent of brass immediately, and put it on a pole. Dying people bitten by the serpent lived whosoever beheld the fiery serpent of brass on the pole.   That’s right! They lived again because they believed in the word of God. Even though the word of God didn’t make any sense through the thought of man, they were blessed to be healed from death for they obeyed His word.     

            As Abraham believed God saying his seed shall be as many as the number of stars in heaven even though he had no hope at all not having any child, and God counted it to him as righteousness, only those that beheld the serpent on the pole without judging their thought upon hearing the word of God. But those that delayed to figure out with their own thoughts lost the opportunity to live letting the poison of the serpent to spread like fire into their body.

          God said unto Moses to make a fiery serpent  to put it upon a pole. Moses made a serpent of brass. Moses, the man of God might  remember the words of God asking him to build a tabernacle of God using many kinds of material. He might exercise the wisdom of God to make the serpent. Knowing the serpent is the one that is judged for the sake of the sins of the People of Israel, he made the serpent of brass. We can understand his wisdom through the scriptures.

          All the vessels in the tabernacle of God were made to give the way for the people of Israel for the remission of sins through the sacrificing animals without sin making them be judged for the sake of Israelites. Receiving the sacrificing animals, God allowed them to have fellowship with him. 

         One of the very important materials of the tabernacle was “Brass”. All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service thereof, and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the court, shall be of brass(Ex. 27:19). God also said to Moses, thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein(Ex. 30:18). The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot were also made of brass(Ex. 35:16). And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass(Ex. 38:3).

           God said unto the Israelites, “And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass(Lev. 26:19)” 

 Goliath the general of Philistine  was wearing a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed wwith a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass. And he had grieves of brass uponhid legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders. And staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam ; and his spear’s head weight six hundred shekels of iron (1Sam. 17: 4-7). When  he blasphemed the God of Israel, he was judged right away as brass by a young man, David. Brass is related to the judgment of God  in the words of God.

            God became a man in the name of Jesus, and spoke of the  serpent that was put on the pole in the wilderness:  :” And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:  That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”(John 3: 14-19)

                Jesus spoke of himself to be put on a pole  as a serpent as  the serpent of brass that was put on the pole by Moses in the wilderness. In other word, he shall receive the judgment for the sin of the world in the darkness, and die on the pole that is cross. Jesus is the one that spoke unto the people of Israel that were bitten by the serpents, they shall live upon behold the serpent on the pole. Those that beheld the serpent on the pole lived, but died again, but those that behold him on the cross by faith shall not die forever..  

             Spiritually, the place where Jesus died if the alter in the tabernacle.  As God took away the sins of the people of Israel through the sacrificed animals that died shedding the blood in the alter of brass, Jesus took away the sin of the world through his death on the cross as a alter shedding his blood (John 1:29). As those that were bitten by the serpents couldn’t behold the serpent on the pole without the faith in God, no one couldn’t believe the word of Jesus saying, God so love the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  

            People living in the world see the medical sign that shows a serpent on a pole, and go to hospital expecting their diseases to be healed. But unfortunately no one can give the eternal life to be healed eternally. People are willing to spend their time as well as money only for the healing of the diseases of their body not coming to Jesus for everlasting life at all. This is the reason why they are already condemned  by themselves, because they love the darkness more that the Lord Jesus Christ that is the light of life.

           Everyone is born in this world bearing out those thirteen fiery poison as evil thoughts bitten by the evil, the prince of the world. Those that were bitten by the fiery serpents fiery serpents in the wilderness lived beholding the serpent on the pole, fir they knew that the poison shall be spread out in their body. But unfortunately many people not understand that they were born bitten by the devil ignoring the poison of the devil spread out slowly for 70 to eighty years so unto death. They fail to behold the Lord Jesus Christ by faith ended up with eternal judgment together with the devil.

          After passing the brass altar in the tabernacle , there is a water basin made of brass. Basin containing water will also be made of brass. Before the priests enter the holy place, they had to wash their hands and feet to wash the dirt. Spiritually water basin is for the children of God to wash away the sins after they receive the remission of sins through believing the Lord Jesus Christ that died on the Alter. Therefore, we have to look ourselves reflected into the water that is the word of God, and wash the dirty sins to enter into the Holy Place under the anointment of the Holy Ghost, and understand 66 books of the words of God. And thereafter we enter the Most Holy Place  through prayer.

               All the vessels in the Holy Place as well as the Most Holy Place are no more made of brass but gold, because all our sins for judgment are already taken away by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

              Now we should remember a very important message engraving in our heart; our Lord Jesus Christ shall not be judged for our sin anymore. From now on, we have to judge the sins that we commit everyday  to be purged through words of God as washing the dirt in the water basin. Amen! Hallelujah!
