The Secret of the Bronze Snake Incident(world mission society church of God)

On the way to Canaan, the Israelites were bitten by venomous snakes. When they were dying in the desert, God told them to make a bronze snake and put it up on a pole, and to look at it. When they looked at the bronze snake, they came to live. Then the Israelites thought that the bronze snake had mysterious power. Forgetting that they were able to live according to the words of God, they put up the bronze snake on a pole and revered it for hundreds of years.

This was not merely history, but a prophecy that churches would set up the cross and be destroyed.

Just as the Israelites revered the bronze snake, today's churches set up the cross and revere it. To set up the cross and revere it is idolatry which is detestable before God and ends in destruction.
