Why did Moshe have to make a Copper snake. Wouldn't it be simpler if the snakes went away? (or acted as they were before the plague)
Answer
In Likutie Torah, Parshas Chukas(61d-62b), this question is asked. The answer provided is Hashem creates nothing inherently evil,for example lets say Atheism what could possibly be good with that? the answer when someone comes for help and or charity you dont say G-d will help you, no you take it into your own hands.This point is illustrated with the copper snake there is a good Spritual source to ALL things.Moshe was telling them look upwards at the Snake look for its positive spiritual source from Hashem and recognize that the punishment was for the overall good of Klal Yisroel and when Hashem sees that you recognize this then you will be healed. (this is very much my adaption of the idea,feel free to argue if this is the intended meaning of the answer!!)
