Numbers 1 -We are Warriors.
The
book of Numbers emphasizes God’s people as warrior’s, overcoming the enemy and
claiming the promised inheritance. They
counted the men, twenty years and older, who were able to go to war. They did not ask for volunteers. When we enter the family of God by faith in
Jesus Christ, we automatically become one of His soldiers. Every believer is a
soldier, either a bad one or a good one.
The
army was organized, each tribe with its leaders and its standard. There was unity in diversity. Perhaps the camp of Israel pictures the
church. There are different tribes and
standards, with different church leaders. But it is one army, following one
Commander and fighting one enemy. “And this is the victory that has overcome
the world- our faith. 1 John 5:4
“Finally,
my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may
be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of
the world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:10-12.
