"Look at the Snake and Be Healed" the Medical Symbol

WHO Banner

I've always had this impression that the WHO symbol was evil, or at best, unpleasant to see because of the snake wrapping what looked like a needle and encompassing the world. I guess that also put me in the hypocritical perspective of blindly judging their motives. Possibly thats one of the reasons they are mistrusted by Christians today with this Covid wave.

In Numbers 21:8‭-‬9 it reads, "Then the LORD told Moses to make a metal snake and put it on a pole, so that anyone who was bitten could look at it and be healed. So Moses made a bronze snake and put it on a pole. Anyone who had been bitten would look at the bronze snake and be healed." 

I've seen other interpretations of this symbol that I'll discuss shortly, but today it's very clear that the WHO symbol; being a snake wrapped around a pole/stick and placed conveniently to cover the world, biblically aligns with the same situation that Moses had been instructed by God, that anyone who was unwell would only need to look upon the pole and be healed. Ultimately, the objective for WHO is to heal all those who are unwell. Whether the players in the WHO organization itself are appreciating and serve to that expectation may be debatable, but the intent on its flag, seems very clear and biblically supported. Considering how many other times they have served, I for one shall give the benefit of doubt to be our safeguard for humanities health and longevity of life.  

Symbol of Hermes

This symbolism should not however be confused with another double-snake & stick combo: the caduceus, featuring two snakes, a stick and wings, that’s often used as a symbol of medicine including even by the U.S. Health Service and many other medical institutions. 

That staff is said to have been that of Hermes. Hermes, in Greek mythology is considered the herald of the gods, as well as the protector of human heralds, travelers, thieves, merchants, and orators. He is able to move quickly and freely between the worlds of the mortal and the divine, aided by his winged sandals. Hermes plays the role of the psycho-pomp or "soul guide" — a conductor of souls into the afterlife.

"A conductor of souls into the afterlife!" That does not align with health care but conniving means to steal, kill and destroy - the works of the devil. How in carnations did this symbol therefore become synonymous with some Healthcare institutions? Was it a simple copy/paste error? Or it is a group of sinister representatives seeking a darker agenda and speaking in plain sight? Some theories were thrown in by this article  

Lets all be wise and keep our eyes to the symbolisms that we are presented around us. Not everything is as innocent and plain at sight as we expect. And to those medical practitioners that are using that double snake thing as a mistake, "do your own research" and represent yourselves correctly.
