Jeremiah 8:17 ESV
For behold, I am sending among you serpents,
adders that cannot be charmed,
and they shall bite you,”
declares the Lord.
God did this same thing to the Israelites in their wilderness journey after leaving Egypt. The Lord sent fiery serpents into their midst for their rebellion until a bronze image of a snake was lifted up among them. Many died. This would foreshadow Christ on a cross to atone for the sin of the world.
They will face a final tribulation at the hands of the serpent of the Garden who is revealed as the great dragon Satan. He shall open his mouth for the last time against the people of God before he is destroyed. Then they will rest in the rest of God.
