The bronze serpent was looked upon for healing from sin. Jesus was made sin for transgressions and is looked upon also for our healing. (looked upon in this usage means to accept him and the sacrifice he made on the cross.) Our healing, and delivernace is in the blood that was shed on the cross.
There are no reliable sources to confirm that Jesus skin is bronze, nor does Matthew discuss what color Jesus is. However, realistically, Jesus was not white (Caucasian). As a middle-eastern male, he would have had skin that was common to the Semites-- it is closer to the color of people in India.---------------------------------------------------------There is however a reference in the book of Revelations that says His feet were like brass..."His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters" (Revelations 1:15, NKJV).
Hezekiah destroyed Moses' bronze serpent because it had become an object of idolatry among the Israelites, who were burning incense to it. Hezekiah wanted to purify the worship of God by removing any objects that had become a distraction or source of idolatry.
Satan was still noticed and recognised and revealed fully in New testament. Satan was the Old serpent meaning from the garden who is the great dragon. Rev 12:9 and 20:2 is clear there. rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that OLD SERPENT, which IS THE DEVIL, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years ..(emphasis added) rev 12:9 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. So the serpent which was an actual serpent was the Devil in the form of the serpent, which many believe that Satan entered into him like he did with Judas at the sop.
Peter was the disciple to deny Jesus three times.

The serpent on the cross is a symbol of healing and redemption in religious beliefs. It represents the story of Moses lifting a bronze serpent on a pole to heal the Israelites from snake bites, as well as the idea of Jesus being lifted on the cross to bring salvation and healing to humanity.
It actually was Adam and Eve in the garden, not Jesus. And the serpent is not named, except as a serpent. It is unanimously understood that the serpent was either an embodiment or manifestation of the devil himself.
The serpent on a pole in the Bible is a symbol of healing and salvation. In the Book of Numbers, God instructed Moses to make a bronze serpent and put it on a pole so that anyone who looked at it would be healed from snake bites. This story is seen as a foreshadowing of Jesus' crucifixion, where he would be lifted up on the cross to bring healing and salvation to all who believe in him.
The serpent on the cross is a symbol often associated with healing and transformation in religious contexts. It represents the idea of shedding old skin and being reborn, as well as the concept of spiritual healing and renewal. In Christianity, the serpent on the cross is often linked to the story of Moses lifting up a bronze serpent in the desert to heal the Israelites, as well as to the belief in Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross for the redemption of humanity.
The serpent on the pole in the Bible is a symbol of healing and salvation. In the Book of Numbers, when the Israelites were afflicted with snake bites as a punishment for their sins, God instructed Moses to make a bronze serpent and put it on a pole. Those who looked at the serpent were healed, showing that faith and obedience to God's commandments can bring about healing and redemption. This story is often seen as a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross for the salvation of humanity.
God saved the Israelites from snake bites by instructing Moses to create a bronze serpent and set it on a pole.

He tied it to a tall pole and let it hang from there.
Jesus referred to the incident of Moses lifting up the bronze serpent in the wilderness as an illustration of his crucifixion. In John 3:14-15, he compares himself to the serpent, stating that just as it was lifted up to provide healing to the Israelites, he must be lifted up (crucified) so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. This analogy highlights the necessity of his sacrifice for salvation.
Genesis 3:15 This is where God says that the serpent (aka Satan) would be crushed by the heel of him who would be the serpent's enemy (Jesus the Messiah).
Jesus crushed whatever he choosed to crush... ANSWER: Jesus crushed the head of the serpent (Satan) when he died on the cross and was resurrected the third day. Satan has no power over those who belong to Christ but Satan has a strangle hold on those who do not belong to Jesus.
The foretold "seed" would crush the serpent's head, eliminating the cause of rebellion, sickness, and death. As revealed progressively in the Scriptures, this "seed" is identified as Jesus Christ.
