[1] {serpent}
See
» See Note "Ge 3:14"
The serpent is a symbol of sin \\judged\\; brass speaks of the divine
judgment, as in the brazen altar
# Ex 27:2
» See Note "Ex 27:2"
and self-judgment, as in the laver of brass. The brazen serpent is
a type of Christ "made sin for us"
# Joh 3:14,15 2Co 5:21
in bearing our judgment. Historically, the moment is indicated in the
cry: "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?"
# Mt 27:46

[2] {Then Israel}
The spiritual order here is beautiful: (1) atonement
# Nu 21:8,9 Joh 3:14,15
(2) water, symbol of the Spirit bestowed
# Nu 21:16 Joh 7:37-39
(3) joy
# Nu 21:17,18 Ro 14:17
(4) power
# Nu 21:21-24

[1] {Balaam}
Balaam is the typical hireling prophet, seeking only to make a market
of his gift. This is "the way of Balaam"
# 2Pe 2:15
and characterizes false teachers. The "error" of Balaam"
# Jude 1:11
was that he could see only the natural morality--a holy God, he
reasoned, \\must\\ curse such a people as Israel. Like all false
teachers he was ignorant of the higher morality of vicarious
atonement, by which God could be just and yet the justifier of
\\believing\\ sinners
# Ro 3:26
The "\\doctrine\\ of Balaam"
# Re 2:14
refers to his teaching Balak to corrupt the people whom he could not
curse
# Nu 31:16 25:1-3 Jas 4:4
Spiritually, Balaamism in teaching never rises above natural
reasonings; in practice, it is easy world-conformity. See
# Re 2:14
