Jesus the Serpent

The Reconciliation: Part 12

John 12:31-33
"Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die."

Some translations insert the word men after “draw all.” However, this is talking about judgment. Jesus knew when he was lifted up, like the snake in the wilderness (Numbers 21:9) he would in that moment draw the world’s judgment upon himself; speaking of his death.

He did this for the purpose of casting the prince of the world out. This event was going to finally reconcile the Father to his children again. He was going to be resurrected a new Adam with life in his spirit, with ability to resurrect the spirits of dead men. After, Jesus traps sin in the body of the Jews they sacrifice him on the Day of Atonement.

They didn’t understand but they weren’t required to. The system was in place. They laid their hands on him and transferred the caged being of sin into the body of Jesus then shed his blood. It wasn’t the shedding of blood or the pain in Christ that pleased God it was the reconciliation.
