Numbers

Numbers gets it name from counting the men of war in Israel. The old generation was numbered at Mount Sinai and the new generation was numbered in the Plains of Moab.

Israel in Egypt pictures our lost condition of bondage to the world. Israel in Canaan pictures our claiming our inheritance by faith and enjoying the fullness of God’s provisions.

Unless by faith you enter into your spiritual inheritance in Christ (Ephesians 1:3) you will “wander” in unbelief and rob yourself of the blessings God has planned for you.

Because the old generation feared the giants and didn’t trust in God’s provisions, judgment came in the verdict that the entire generation with the exception of Joshua and Caleb were denied entrance into the promised land.

Numbers is more than Moses’ journey, it is a promise that must be grasped and acted on before they can be realized.

Many people are at a crossroads in their life. Our attitude, our outlook, our faith, our words, and our courage could actually lift their lives, sending them in a positive direction.

Our negative, discouraging, cynical talk, might easily send the confused or disheartened down a longer road into doubt or despair.

Use your words carefully. Matthew 12:36. “I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account for in the day of judgment.”

Please read the Book listed so that you can understand the word of God to its fullness. This study comes from The Jeremiah Study Bible, The Bible for Hope, The King James Bible and the Nelson’s Quick Reference Bible Commentary.
