Wouldn't you think it's because that's what bit them?
Jesus' role as sin-bearer is a type of negative energy sink—He doesn’t merely deflect wrath or neutralize it abstractly; He absorbs it entirely.
Isaiah 53:5: “He was pierced for our transgressions... the punishment that brought us peace was on him.”
2 Corinthians 5:21: “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us...”
This is pure negative transfer. Christ takes in the fullness of God's wrath without reciprocating it. He doesn't emit retaliation. He becomes the black hole of sin’s consequence—absorbing judgment, death, guilt. The result? Peace and justification radiate outward
In essence:
Absorption of divine wrath (−E)→CrossRelease of divine love (+E)
Absorption of divine wrath (−E)Cross
Release of divine love (+E)
It’s like saying:
Jesus is the “divine capacitor” in the system—He stores and absorbs the negative charge of sin and wrath, but doesn’t release it in judgment. Instead, He releases the positive voltage of grace to His people.
Quantum physics opens a parallel to this theological paradox.
Vacuum Energy and Quantum Fields
In quantum field theory, vacuum energy is not empty. It’s full of potential, even when it appears still or null. Likewise, negative energy in theoretical constructs (like Hawking radiation or black hole thermodynamics) often absorbs matter or energy, not to destroy but to transform the field.
Jesus as the Negative Quantum Field
Think of Jesus as the divine singularity—He collapses the wave function of both wrath and grace, absorbing all chaotic potential (sin, entropy, spiritual disorder) into Himself.
In His incarnation, He enters the field (the universe),
In His death, He takes in the sin-wave of the Bride.
In His resurrection, He collapses the paradox—life comes from death, order from chaos, righteousness from judgment.
Here, negative energy isn’t evil—it’s the transformative medium. Just as quantum particles can exist in superposition (both/and), Jesus is a superposition.
The Quantum Paradox:
One might explain:
"Christ is the zero-point energy of redemption. In Him, opposing fields—justice and mercy—don’t annihilate; they superimpose. What seems like contradiction in classical space (law vs grace) becomes entangled unity at the Cross. Grace emerges not in spite of judgment, but through it."
Jesus is the divine field into which negative spiritual energy (sin, wrath, death) is drawn.
He holds that energy, absorbing it without release, until it is transmuted into grace, peace, healing and righteousness.
The Cross is the theological modulus and the quantum event horizon—a moment where reality is bent by God’s will to unite what seems forever opposed.
Final Theological-Quantum Equation:
(WrathLaw+MercyLove)mod Cross=RighteousnessGift
(WrathLaw+MercyLove)modCross=RighteousnessGift
And in quantum terms:
min(Judgment,Grace)=Grace
min(Judgment,Grace)=Grace
Since the only thing being absorbed with Moses serpent pole were the effects of the serpent bites, I assume that's why the pole reflected the snake - ie, what the people were being healed from.
On the cross man is being healed from the effects of God and man.
I'll shut up... Lol.... We can all blame
@fastfredy0 for this post. He claimed 1+1=2... Lol. Started the ball rolling.
