Snow and the serpent, pt 1

 

A while ago I had a dream about “O” which depicted him on the deck of the aircraft carrier Lincoln.  A large bow wake rose above the deck surface so that he reached forward and stuck his hand in the water.  When he did his hands became white and flaky, which I came to believe represented leprosy.  Rapidly, his entire body became leprous while he became motionless.  I was instructed to speak to him.  As he was facing away from me, I touched him on his shoulder and he seemingly bounced off the deck and went headfirst into the water, apparently paralyzed or dead. 

 

Later, I found Exodus 4:6 And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.

 

This is the first occurrence of the word snow and directly links it to leprosy and Moses.

 

Following my post on 11/1/12;

and inspired by Nicole’s dream see “re: Gino and Nicole” I am looking once again at this passage.

 

Moses is H4872-Mosheh {mo-sheh'} from 04871; TWOT - 1254; n pr m AV - Moses 766; 766 Moses = "drawn" 1) the prophet and lawgiver, leader of the exodus

 

Bosom is H2436-cheyq {khake} or חק cheq {khake}; and חוק chowq {khoke} from an unused root, apparently meaning to inclose; TWOT - 629a; n m AV - bosom 32, bottom 3, lap 1, midst 1, within 1, variant 1; 39 1) bosom, hollow, bottom, midst

 

So, here, Moses reminds me of the 6 stone jars at the Cana wedding where water was drawn out and taken to the master of the wedding.  This time we expect the leader of exodus to be the raptured church!  Now look a few verses earlier. 

 

Exo 4:3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

 

What he cast on the ground was a rod, his staff, which became a serpent.  God will cast Satan to earth where he is represented as a serpent.  Taking directly from Hebrew we have; Moses, “drawn” out, fled (disappeared) from in front of the serpent’s face.  These things are mentioned directly in Rev 12.

 

 

Revelation 12

3  And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

4  And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

5  And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

6  And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

7  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8  And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

12  Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

13  And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

14  And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

 

Another mention of the word “rod” is Rev 11:1

Rev 11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein

 

This now represents the heavenly physical temple and the spiritual temple of Christ; not a man made replica, I believe.  “Rise” here, G1453, means to awaken or rise from death.

 

Moses actually represents the church and God drawing him out.  This indicates Rev chapters 11 and 12 link the casting down of Satan to the taking up of the church.  More on this in part II, Born of the ark.

 

Back to Snow.

The word for snow, H7950, has a positive connotation similar to rain from heaven.  Its numerical value in the original is 353, while in the standard is 333. 

 

The twofold nature of the references to snow is what we want to focus on in this context.  Leprosy white as snow is a curse.  Snow from heaven is a blessing.  In Exodus the Passover was a blessing to God’s chosen and a curse to Egypt.  The flood was a curse to the corrupted world and a blessing to those whom God found acceptable.  Moses’ hand became leprous, and then was restored.  This could be the remnant of Israel when restored

 

In my dream “O” put his hands into the midst (bosom) of the sea, meaning people, and incurred a curse on himself.

 

Likewise, Satan is cast down as a serpent while Moses is drawn out of sight.  In other words, what is a blessing (see  GM 234 from Nov.1) to the righteous is a curse to those against God. 

 

Snow Pt II will further explain how Moses can represent the church.
