Numbers (Program #4)

Numbers (Program #4) – Being Formed into an Army (3 – 4) After the children of Israel escaped the tyranny of Egypt and built a tabernacle in the wilderness according to the plan God showed Moses, the Lord set about forming an army to protect His testimony and fight against His enemies. Members of each of the various tribes were called to serve in this army, saved one, the tribe of Levite. To them it was given not to fight directly but to serve God in the tabernacle in a holy service and ministry. Today God’s people are still called upon to war against His enemy and to fight to protect His testimony on the earth. Just as in ancient time, God needs His people to minister and serve Him in His dwelling place on earth. Another wonderful picture of a New Testament reality awaits us today from the Old Testament book of Numbers.
