	Nehushtan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nehushtan was a staff of copper and brass.
		Generations later, Hezekiah destroyed it because the children of Israel had forgotten its symbolism and began to regard the object itself as an idol, "burning incense to it".
		The lapse of nearly one thousand years had invested the "brazen serpent" with a mysterious sanctity; and in order to deliver the people from their infatuation, and impress them with the idea of its worthlessness, Hezekiah called it, in contempt, "Nehushtan", a brazen thing, a mere piece of brass (2 Kings 18:4).

		Nehushtan said unlike the public nature of their complaint, the pilots would be dealt with in a direct, private and individual manner by the Air Force.

	Re: A Bowl of Milk Out for Snakes
		Nehushtan, "Brazen Serpentess," was a Serpent-goddess established by Moses.
		Although initially the adoration of Nehushtan was to obtain protection from deadly serpents sent by Yahweh, in later times it was said that serpents were sent to slay those who worshipped serpents [Wisdom of Solomon 11:15; 15:18; 16:3-5; Sirach 12:13].
		As the Mother of Serpents, Nehushtan's children who plagued the Hebrews were called muppim, "poisonous serpents" or "children of Mup"; only by propitiating the Mother were the muppim rendered harmless.

	Caduceus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The symbol's origins are thought to date to as early as 2600 BC in Mesopotamia, and there are several references to a caduceus-like symbol in the Bible, namely in Numbers 21:4–9, and 2 Kings 18:4.
		During the Exodus, Moses was instructed by God to fashion a pole upon which he was to position a serpent made of bronze; when looked upon, this Nehushtan, as it was called in Hebrew, would spare the lives of the Israelites stricken by venomous snake bites.
		The intent was that people would look upward and be reminded to pray to God, but eventually the meaning was forgotten and this symbol was apparently worshiped by the Hebrew people until the reign of Hezekiah as described in 2 Kings 18:4.

		In the first place, the word Nehushtan is not a common noun, and cannot mean simply "a piece of brass." The point of the Biblical statement is entirely lost by such a construction.
		As such it would be sacred to all worshippers of the brazen serpent, and familiar to all who frequented the Temple.
		These readings agree in their indication that Nehushtan was the name by which the serpent-image was generally known during the years it was worshipped, rather than an expression used for the first time by Hezekiah on the occasion of its destruction.

		While most of the references to serpents in the Bible are negative, Jesus is reported to have compared his own person and the crucifixtion to Nehushtan.
		Referring to his forthcoming crucifixtion, Jesus said "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:14-15).

		Nehushtan warned that pay cuts for the troops have to be done carefully, since a reduction in salaries would affect the motivation of a force built primarily around professional volunteers.

	NEHUSHTAN
		It is not to the church building and organizations which have become a bastion of separation and a stumbling block for the people in their search for God and His true worship.
		We need to take a good look at this Nehushtan idol and ask: "Am I being pointed toward Christ, or am I being pointed toward man's system?" The building we meet in should serve one purpose; a place to which we can come to be taught to worship God.
		It is time to deal with this fleshly Nehushtan idol and begin to let the Sun of Righteousness arise in our hearts, that we may see Him as He is and worship Him where He is; at the right hand of the Father.

		With a little help from various study aides I came to the conclusion that this brazen serpent that God had commanded Moses to construct, that had become an object of their worship over the years, was about 900 years old, personified with a name, 'Nehushtan'.
		He is calling each of us to break into pieces our personal and corporate Nehushtans, the idols we've made to the method of His past movements in our lives and history, in order that we might better know the one for whom we were delivered.
		Rather than smugly attacking one another, we should simply allow the Holy Spirit to search our own hearts for any wicked way, any personal Nehushtans, which might be offensive to our Lord, and the grace to deal with them as instructed by the Lord.
