Who would have thought that a book called Numbers would contain interesting stories that are applicable to our lives today? Actually, the Jews call the book In the Desert, which is not only a more engaging title but also more descriptive of the history the book records about the wanderings of the people of God in the desert between Egypt and the Promised Land. The New Testament refers several times Numbers in order to point us to Christ and to call us to persevere in faith until we reach our Promised Land. If you need some encouragement for the journey, it’s Numbers to the rescue!
While the people cynically questioned God’s justice and longed for his intervention, in Malachi 2:17-3:5, God told them he would be coming in judgment...
In the encounter with Moses at the burning bush, God revealed himself and promised to show us more of who he is.
Jesus' power over the forces of evil demonstrated that the kingdom of God had come.
