John 3:14 Moses and the Torah: Our Commission to Testify

Moses was forty years in Midian, where through the proto-Arabic speaking Midianites and his relatives he discovered God's evidence in this world, the Light of Life--the Torah--God's Love for mankind. Moses wrote about God's Love, the Torah--the Light of Life--in testimonies and stories about his relatives and ancestors in the Pentateuch. He "lifted the darkness" in man by these stories and testimonies. Jesus said that this is how we are to lift the Son of Man to dispel the darkness and lead people to eternal life in the Holy Spirit: testify, report, tell true stories of His wonderous works. NO ONE CAN COME TO JESUS EXCEPT THE FATHER DRAW THEM, AND THESE TESTIMONIES ARE HOW THE FATHER DRAWS THEM!

John 3:14 is mistranslated in every English translation except Victor N. Alexander's translation of John from the ancient Aramaic. It's got nothing to do with a brazen serpent on a pole lifted up for sinners to see; it's writing stories, testifying, reporting about experiencing Jesus in our real lives LIKE MOSES WROTE THE TORAH. "This Gospel shall be published in all the world . . . "

"And just as Moses lifted the darkness by the light of life, this is how you should glorify* the Son of Man. So that every human [being] who believes in him does not [go to] oblivion, except that they may have life everlasting*. For this is how [much] God loved humanity, that he gave forth his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him does not perish*, except that they may have life everlasting" (John 3:14-16 Alexander).

Give words about Jesus for God to confirm that people may believe and be saved. Hey, we get to play Moses!
