[@LeviKerrison]

This is what it meant by putting the snake on the staff and getting the Israelites to go and look at the snake. It’s facing their fears, so then no matter what snake bites them they have the bravery to deal with it without dying. A metaphorical snakebite is betrayal by friends or family, or one of many many many other tragedies in life. Facing fears, is unbelievably rewarding.

[@SS-gc6bp]

It's a test type of christ . As the serpent was raised, so was christ Jesus also raised. It's also linked to the serpent in Genesis, the serpent was judged in Genesis . Read it carefully the serpent was a beast , the snake is the symbol of sin judged, like Jesus who knew no sin became sin and we need to do is look unto Jesus Christ and accept his work on the cross as the atonement for our sin , look believe, receive and live.

[@reamartin6458]

Incorrect, the snake represents sin and the idolatry they (Israel) left behind in Egypt. It was a foreshadowing of the Messiah who became sin so that you might have life and live. Looking at the snake was an act of faith. Read the Bible and don’t take biblical advice from a man who hasn’t accepted Yeshua as his savior / JP is smart but isn’t lead by the Holy Spirit. Man’s logic leads to hell.

[@rickyalan1227]

​@@reamartin6458Okay, so following your last statement... Since I'm a man, would the logical inferences I derive from reading the Bible be "from hell" (or towards it, etc.)? Where should a man draw the line in the quest for spiritual truth and pure pragmatism?

[@SS-gc6bp]

@reamartin6458 amen I agree with you there a lot of people seek truth in this day and fall prey yo intellectual people like JP . They have itchy ears. It's the people of God who are full of the spirit that needs to stand up snd speak the absolute truth in the final moments of time . I'm not sure if you disagree with me or the video , that's irrelevant I'm not interested in winning arguments but rather winning souls at all cost .

[@SS-gc6bp]

@rickyalan1227 James 1:5-7 (KJV) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

[@hamdoolam]

LISTEN: You are never too old, to go do something new. Go in faith of Him,(and carry his commandments written on the tablet of your heart) and He WILL bless it. Amen

[@recnepsyarg]

what if a person doesn’t believe in your god? do you think it’s still important they believe in a higher power? if so, why?

[@chantelle7275]

I love this and just wanna add a little something I learned personally. God was hard on the Israelites because they weren't using their "manna season" to prepare themselves for the "milk and honey" season. All the complaining they did, despite the hardship, was a waste of precious time and kept them from learning and growing, which is what thwy needed after years of Tyranny. The complaining and resistance to learn kept them out of Canaan (the ultimate destination). In order to get to the promised land we need to go through a season of desert. It's the struggles in the desert that prepare you for the struggles in the promised land which are much greater but much more fruitful. The Israelites wouldn't have been able to handle the struggles in Canaan if they couldn't obtain the lessons in the desert, which is ultimately reliance on God. Hope this encourages somebody whose currently enduring their desert season. Remember. He didn't call you to Manna. He called you to Milk and Honey.

[@illbeyourmonster1959]

IF that's how it works. I want out. There is no reward I can see that will be great enough to justify the suffering and losses I have had to endure and will likely have to deal with in the future. There is a thing as taking a test too far.

[@paulsaulpaul]

Well said. After Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. It took 40 years to get the Egypt out of the Israelites.

[@chantelle7275]

@paulsaulpaul I love how you worded that! God had to get the Egypt out of them as much as He had to get them out of Egypt. Great insight!

If adventure is attributed to god then I think I’m back on my path. I’ve felt like I’ve been adventuring for the first time since I was a child. I’m 32. Lots of insights and awakenings. Even at this age.

[@AdmatHakodesh]

[@jeremiahnoar7504]

In one of those Veggietales movies from when I was a kid. I remembered one of the Israelite characters complaining about how "how they had it made" Back in Egypt. Food and security was promised and they got plenty of exercise. It was funny but it was a good point. Trading away certain security for freedom isn't a small trade off.

[@stevenbaase]

LIFE IS ART! That story shows how much we should want to help paint our own living stories. The way god paints tells us in a way that we perceive how we want to paint along side in whatever degree. God is always right much like the customer. Even if we are a little wrong. we still provide some right.

[@JFox4587]

As a rock climber who has climbed over 1000 feet, you learn that you never stop being afraid. The fear gets quieter as you get braver. And you do realize that as you get braver, when facing the rock, you get braver in general. I’ve been able to do incredible things in my life that I never would’ve done had I not started rock climbing. Social anxiety, fear of being alone, fear of death itself, fear of never having a family, fear of not making something meaningful with my life…. all of these become easier because of rock climbing. But you’re never not afraid on that rock. It’s terrifying, and I’ve been doing it for 14 years and the crazy thing is, you can always push the throttle down harder and make it more terrifying. Always. You learn to be best friends with that fear. you get to willingly choose just how hard you wanna push yourself knowing that it will suck, but in the long run, you’ll be better off for it.

[@yama4ever]

Thank you J. Peterson for everything you've done for me over the last couple of years! You've been by my side on my journey, from losing faith due to deathly sickness, to being an atheist, and to being a Christian again. Although I havent accepted god 100% yet, you have been the one that has led me on the straight path again and one day i will fully give god control again. Much love

[@daniellevy2272]

I would recommend getting into Judaism :) But kudos to you! Sounds like an inspiring story for sure, I applaud you!

We are comfortable with the routine and fear the unknown. The inevitable chaos finds us, if not directly then eventually to the next generation of our loved ones. We have seen examples multiple times and know that every story has an eventual end. We are now called to be aware that as we live in final days, faith in the Lord is what matters most of all.

He didn’t connect Christ on the cross clearly (to me) but facing Him in His innocence and righteousness is also to face our own deaths. IT AINT FAIR we say. We are facing our greatest fear. Death.

[@setionos]

The concept of "God as the Call to Adventure" uses examples from Abrahamic stories. - Abraham's call to adventure by God leads him out of his comfort zone and into a series of challenges and hardships. - The narrative compares this individual call to adventure with Moses' call to lead his people out of Egyptian tyranny. - The story highlights that escaping tyranny might not immediately lead to better circumstances, as the Israelites face challenges and lose faith in the desert. - The discussion delves into the idea of worship, the symbolism of the snake, and the significance of facing fears and challenges voluntarily.

Here is a serious question: Why should we want "adventure"? You know in modern day society, an actual adventure might lead to homelessness or imprisonment, or even a "real big" adventure (death).

But what options do you have that doesnt affect you negatively other than adventure? Adventure will bring the most potential out of you, no other than that will

[@officialthomasjames]

@@butterfox7442 yup, and if no one ever took a leap of faith and embraced their “adventure” human civilization would never move forward. Every person in history who made a difference became an outlier and embraced their adventure in some sense.

[@PeopleHaveNoGender]

Dear Jordan, the answer to your question about what God tells Moses to do about the snakes is this: the snake is made of copper. Copper represents repentance in the Bible. That's why the horns of the altar in the courtyard of the tabernacle were made of copper. The snake was to be put on a pole, not just so everyone could see it, but because of this: The Bible states that 'cursed is he whom is hung on a tree'. The word for 'tree' can also be translated to 'pole'. Later, Jesus would be hung on a cross (which is essentially a wooden pole), to die for all the transgressions, stiff-headedness and sickness of all humans who believe in Him.

[@petervanrun4626]

That is very informative an soo pregnant with questions about our own ongoin journey into God's kingdom. Jordan is kinda walkin out publically his own understanding n questions with us n we are priviledged to see a man, possibly with some similarities with Paul of Tarsus, early n later, I think, his summary of those stories is such a great type of his own(google) search into the parralells n meanings in our own journeyings thru many wildernesses. Thank God, Jordan n Tammy have the guts to traverse these landscapes. As the bible says, "we see thru a glass darkly n not many wise men now are called" but hey, with people like Jordan nTammy we can "wise the hell up, Buco! Macro n Micro, To hear these stories from this perspective makes us ask questions n often it seems miraculous just to have the questions, imo This may or may not be his greatest lecture, but I think its one of his greatest overall questionin of our journeyin. Believe or understand the questionin, I think its a blessed framework to put our own lives on, we are all in this together n no easy way out, we have to go thru these things. Thanks to all etc etc God Rules, with love!

Jesus death means salvation from death... The snake atop Moses' staff also represented "salvation" from the snake venom, and death.

[@erinkey2686]

Just like the snake statue in the desert, Jesus takes out the poison. He took it on for us. If you believe in Him, your sins are forgiven. Sin still causes pain, but since our souls are eternal, once you believe, Jesus’ payment for our sin is applied and we have eternal life - we will only die a physical death - but will live forever in heaven with Him, instead of in hell. Jesus makes us new - alive spiritually - born again.
