Again the Holy Spirit has led us to the right study for a now time. One of the purposes of numbering was to mobilize an orderly host for war. Each tribe was given its assigned place and task. In order to fulfill God’s Kingdom purpose for their nation, it would require FAITH and TRUST in God. It took 40 years of God’s providential miraculous care to bring forth an entire nation with the FAITH to obey God’s purpose.
What do we say to the Church of the 21st Century of your FAITH for such a time as this?
Numbers covers a little less than 40 years (38), from Mount Sinai to Jordan.
The purpose of Numbers is to give an account of the 40 years that Israel wandered in the wilderness. To the natural eye the book of Numbers is one of wandering, but to the eye of faith, this book is one of Divine direction.
Num. 9:20-23: …at he commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters.(Rev. 7:17)
God numbers and aligns the tribes and the priests to record the two generations at the beginning and the ending of the 40 years.
After receiving the Law, as seen in Exodus and Leviticus, and being numbered at Mount Sinai, the Old generation (1-14) came to Kadeshbarnea, gateway to the Promised Land. There they rejected through unbelief the land promised to them in the Abrahamic Covenant.
