Moses's rod lifted from the ground []

When Moses met God on the Mountain, he was told to throw his rod to the ground; it turned to a serpent; and then he was told to pick it up. In the voice of the judge, God confronted Moses. Moses had the power of God (rod) but used it in the flesh (throw to the ground) by killing an Egyptian. God forgave him (he lifted the rod), and then used him to deliver Israel.

In the voice of the prophet; speaking of Jesus, Jesus was the power of God. He was cast to the ground in his incarnation, where he became flesh (serpent) and condemned all men to death by his perfect obedience by removing all excuses. By his law which said that he who judged will be judged, he faced the judgement of the law. In his dual nature, his human instinct did not want to die. He put that to death and then operated in the power of God to be obedient to the father (he became the rod). Then he delivered mankind.

The lifting of the serpent/rod signified the end of judgement.
