The Gematria values (358) of the words Mashiach and Nachash imply a connection between the two. When the fiery serpents were biting and bringing death to the Israelites in the desert, God commanded Moses to make a symbol of a Bronze Serpent, and lift it up. And everyone who looked to it would be saved (Numbers 21:5-8). Numbers 21:5-8 alludes to the crucifixion of the Holy Snake, The KING Messiah, as CHRIST Himself confirmed (John 3:14-15, 11:25-26).

It seems UNBELIEVABLE to liken the sinless CHRIST to the archetypal symbol of EVIL. Yet, in Mystical Judaism the MESSIAH is called the “Holy Snake.” This is derived from the fact that the Hebrew word, MASHIACH for MESSIAH, has the Gematria of 358, which is equivalent to the Gematria of the Hebrew word NACHASH (Snake), which is 358 also.
Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburg states: “Just as Amalek represents the epitome of evil, so does the positive snake represent the epitome of good. Mashiach himself is referred to as “the holy snake,” as alluded to by the phenomenon that the numerical value of Mashiach (358) is the same as that of the word for “snake” (nachash). In the Zohar it is told that when the holy snake, Mashiach, will kill the evil snake (overcome the fear of insanity), he will thereby merit to marry the Divine princess, to unite with the origin of the souls of Israel and so to bring redemption to the world.” -- Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburg, Kabbalah and the Healing of the Soul – Part 35 – The Snake
The Ramchal writes:“And from then onwards this characteristic of appearing in the mystical capacity of a snake is given to the Messiah, especially to MBY, who is the mystical embodiment of the left…Since then the tikun has been prepared in the mystical mission of the two Messiahs…for the Messiah ben Joseph mystically represents the left, and he bears the character of the exterior which needs all these tikunim, and the Messiah ben David mystically represents the right which needs to be joined to it [the left], and the Redemption will be complete.” -- R’ Moshe Hayyim Luzzato, Kinat HaShem Tzevaot 20, cited in Messianic Mystics, Moshe Idel, Littman Library of Jewish Civilization, pg 238

- The people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned… pray unto The LORD, that He take away the SERPENTS from us. And The LORD said unto Moses, MAKE thee a FIERY SERPENT, and set it upon a pole… that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall LIVE. (Num 21:7-8 KJV)
