Introduction
Numbers is our English title emphasizes the census that is taken in the book.
However the Hebrew title means
In the Wilderness
The book of Numbers is essentially the story of two generations.2
Each generation undergoes a census in the book: the first generation at the beginning of the book, and the second generation in Numbers 26.
Numbers 1–25 is the story of the first generation—a story of unbelief, rebellion, despair, and death.
It shows us what happens to the generation that refuses to place their trust in the Lord in spite of his manifest trustworthiness: they are unable to enter his rest, and their bodies are scattered over the wilderness.
This book shows the progress of God’s redemptive story by showing a people making very little progress.
Part one takes us to a generation counted for war but unwilling to go to battle.
Part Two begins in Chapter 26 and moves through 36 and there you meet a general of faith.
This is a story of the people living between the times.
The time of redemption from Egypt.
The Time of consumption in the promised land.
It is a time that is trying and difficult - and often marked by failure.
But God is there every step of this journey.
Where we grumble constantly, he never grumbled.
Where we doubt God’s goodness and question his provision, he never doubted or questioned
That generation shows us the what happens when we are unbelieving.
When we are rebelling, when we decide not to trust the God who is worthy of our trust.
Numbers 1–25 is the story of the first generation—a story of unbelief, rebellion, despair, and death.
It shows us what happens to the generation that refuses to place their trust in the Lord in spite of his manifest trustworthiness: they are unable to enter his rest, and their bodies are scattered over the wilderness.
Being a part of a people would count!
Sand up and be counted!
We have an allergy to commitment.
Don’t forget that God had been faithful
More than 600,000 men not including women and children - God’s promise to Abraham quantified for all to remember.
