Why Was Moses' Bronze Serpent Destroyed?

Description

Why did King Hezekiah destroy a sacred relic given by God? 🐍✨For centuries after ~1440 BC, the Bronze Serpent stood as a symbol of God’s healing power.

But by ~715 BC, it became known as "Nehushtan" and was turned into an object of worship inside the Temple of Solomon. When the people began worshiping the bronze statue instead of God, King Hezekiah made the bold choice to smash the sacred artifact to end idolatry.
