“And The Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and every one who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.” So Moses made a bronze serpent, and set it on a pole; and if a serpent bit any man, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.” (Numbers 21:4-9 RSV
Centuries later, the bronze serpent was destroyed because the Israelites had turned it into an idol, in violation of The Second Commandment:
“And he did what was right in the eyes of The Lord, according to all that David [see King David] his father had done. He removed the high places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah. And he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the people of Israel had burned incense to it; it was called Nehushtan.
2 Kings 18:1-6 RSV
The serpents were an idol. Medicine is an idol especially in our wicked nation.
Now it makes sense. I hear it used in context.
Maybe you’ll like this better, then.

Ironically, most of the people on FR who are using many life saving medications owe it to snakes, from whom their treatments are derived.
Stop hating on an innocent animal.
Thanks.
The snakes are ok its the animals(humans) we gotta watch.
Superb!! I’ll have to steal that one!
True that.

That Twitter tag is *full* of them and so many pop up on my FB feed everyday, it’s insane.
People are not forgetting, no matter how much deflection the Dem-ons try.
Every other president in my lifetime (I’m 63) three years in showed it. Worn sometimes, haggard, gray haired. Not Trump. Not a mark on him.
Actually, it goes back to a Greek god of medicine.
Saw a 3’ prairie rattler the other day on the ranch. It was a chilly day and he was moving so slow he almost creaked.
That was the second link I think.

Cronchy sneks.
