So the analogy stops at the lifting up and does not include the believing unto salvation? Isn't the following true?
Joh 3:14-15 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That [as with the lifted serpent] whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life..... 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life......20:30-31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
