Notice that the people were not merely "looking upon the serpent" for healing.
Their hands are clasped in prayer.
Could this be more Shamanism? Was Moses an old tyme Benny Hinn?
Notice that the pole looks very much like "the torture stake" per WT depictions.

Why are modern day churches using a serpentine drape on the cross?
What does this signify?

"The dragon of the Greeks," says Pausanias, "was only a large snake"; and the context shows that this is the very case here; for what in the third verse is called a "dragon," in the fourteenth is simply described as a "serpent." Then the word rendered "Red" properly means "Fiery"; so that the "Red Dragon" signifies the "Fiery Serpent" or "Serpent of Fire."

Get ready for subtle new doctrine. The Rosicrucian doctrines will probably come to fruition in organized religion after "the armageddon event". At least, that's what I believe they have planned.
The Ophites are said to have maintained that the serpent of Genesis was the Λογος, and the 'Saviour'.
The Logos was Divine Wisdom, and was the Bhudda, or Buddha, of India.
The Brazen Serpent was called Λογος, or the 'Word', by the Chaldee Paraphrast (Basnage, lib. iv. ch. xxv).
It is very certain that, in ancient times, the serpent was an object of adoration in almost all nations.
The serpent-worshippers seem to have placed at the head, or nearly at the head, of all things (Maia), and most intimately connected with the serpent, a certain principle which they called 'Sophia'.
This is clearly a translation of the word 'Bhudda' into Greek.
It also reminds us that the old Bhuddas are always under the care of the Cobra-Capella.
This is evidenced in all the Memnonian or Egyptian heads; and in the asp (or fleur-de-lis), more or less veiled or altered, displayed as the chief symbol upon the universal Sphynxes.
The serpent, in one view, was the emblem of the evil principle, or destroyer.
But, as we have seen before, the 'destroyer' was the 'creator'.
Hence he had the name, among his numerous appellations, of ΟΦΙΣ; in Hebrew, ???, Ob; and as he was the 'logus', or 'linga', he was also ΟΨ, and in Hebrew ???·?.
Query, hence, Συφαρ, a seraph or serpent?--see Jones's Lexicon (in voce), and Σοφος, wise. The Συφ and Σοφ are both the same root.
The famous 'Brazen Serpent', called Nehustan, set up by Moses in the Wilderness, is termed in the Targum a 'Saviour'.
It was probably a 'serpentine crucifix', as it is called a cross by Justin Martyr.
All the foregoing is allegorical, and hides deep Gnostic myths, which explain serpent-worship, united with the adoration paid to a perpendicular.

Artist: Giovanni Fantoni
The serpentine cross sculpture is "symbolic of the bronze serpent created by Moses in the wilderness and the cross upon which Jesus was crucified".
Now...what does the brazen serpent have to do with Jesus, you ask?.....
If you look closely, it appears to be a shed snake skin rather than the solid body of a snake.
...................hmmmmm, guess what new twisted story is coming now. (And not made up by me, but from the abyss of religionists.)

Times, they are a-changing.
And visual hints are given that the doctrine and stories are about to change as well.
Remember when the cross displayed a tortured figure?
Not anymore. Church icons are undergoing a subtle revision. A new story will be revealed soon.
This is inside a baptist church:
Most Methodist churches have usually displayed a bare cross (no tortured image). Their image has only slightly chaged. Here, the snake symbol is climbing the side of the cross.
(notice the triskelion pattern in the window. For for information on the significance of this symbol, see: http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/177157/2/Rabbits-in-the-Church)
Here is the new type of crucifix display in a Lutheran church:
I am using these examples to show that this is all orchestrated. It is a new movement in changes to get this snake image fixed in your mind before the new teachings begin. It's another psych-ops.

do you remember Cicero's speech when he says, rather offhanded (but eerie) "who know's maybe the snake will get a new face! Maybe a new mouth or something? haha."
Chilling disclosure when you realize what's coming.
Have you guessed the meaning of all this yet?

The snake who was once vilified as
"That old serpent, Satan, the Devil"
has now transformed itself to an angel of light and is now the symbol for resurrection.
Yes, you read it right.
The snake sheds it's skin and emerges with a new body.
All of the old wounds are gone as the body has now shed itself of these scars.
The snake is the symbol of the resurrection transformation.
Right now it is just at the subliminal stage of implanting the subtle imagery in their minds.
