God Told Moses to Make It. Why Did Hezekiah Destroy It?

God told Moses to make a bronze serpent in the wilderness. Centuries later, King Hezekiah ordered it destroyed. How did something created by divine command become something Israel had to remove? In this episode of Scripture Unknown, we trace the bronze serpent from Numbers 21 to the reforms of Hezekiah in 2 Kings 18. We examine why people began burning incense to it, why it became known as Nehushtan, and what its destruction reveals about the difference between honoring a sacred symbol and turning it into an object of worship. We also explore why Jesus later referred to the bronze serpent in the Gospel of John—and why that connection gives this strange story even deeper meaning. Scripture Unknown explores the mysteries, history, archaeology, and overlooked details of the Bible, separating what Scripture actually says from assumptions built around it. Watch to the end and decide: when did a symbol of deliverance become an idol? #BibleHistory #Moses #Hezekiah #Nehushtan
