fiery Serpent] That is, a Serpent of the colour of fier, as burnisht brasse is, Revelation 1:15. Ezekiel 1:7. This was a figure of Christ, for as they that looked upon the brasen Serpent lifted up upon a pole, were cured of the hurt they received by the fiery Serpents, vers. 9. so they that fixed the eye of faith on Christ, lifted up also, John 3:14. upon the Crosse, were cured of the biting or sting of that old Serpent, who hath many stings, which he shooteth out like darts, and those darts are fiery, Ephesians 6:16.
