Reality 911
6 Wherefore the Lord sent among the people fiery serpents, which bit them and
killed many of them.
9 Moses therefore made a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: which when
they that were bitten looked upon, they were healed.
And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the
sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days:
in the day when the Lord shall bind up the wound of his people, and shall heal
the stroke of their wound.
