Levius The Book Of Numbers
Numbers might be called the wilderness wandering because it describes the journey of the Israelites. Numbers is like taking a census as we do today.
The book can also be called the book of murmuring because from the beginning to the end it is filled with the spirit of rebellion.

The book focuses on the land of promise and their journey to get there. The book of Numbers should read in connection with Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy.

A new generation was numbered. God was still caring for them. Moses was still their leader. God spoke and Moses listened.
In Leviticus it deals with the believer's worship. Numbers deals with the believer's walk. As they were walking toward the promise land they did not have faith in God. God's plan was for

    The title gives a clue about the book, but a better glimpse of what the book is really about is found in the book’s subtitle, “The Story of how God Developed His People in the Old Testament”. Unlike most Biblical survey books, that provide the theme, outline, information about the author, and a commentary of the Old Testament content, Dr. Towns’ book focuses on the people who influenced the events of the Old Testament. It does more than pin the events and people to a timeline, it interprets the Old Testament through the sequential influence of those that made and helped form Bible history.…

    The Biblical teachings on the millennium are vague and difficult to recognize without a clear understanding of the Old Testament and its covenant promises to Israel. This paper will address the way that the Old Testament sets the stage for the future fulfillment of promises and covenants. Throughout the New Testament there are still continuations of these unfulfilled promises that have future inclinations. This paper will outline the teachings of the Old Testament that are left unfulfilled throughout the New Testament, and how these in addition to the prophecies in books like Revelation teach of the Millennium. In conclusion, the three common views of the Millennium, Premillennialism, Amillennialism, and Postmillennialism, according to biblical scholars will be recognized and discussed to come to a final conclusion of the Bible’s teaching on the Millennium.…

    The book of Leviticus is principally written law material. Specific key themes and events include starting with God calling Moses to tell the Israelites to brings their burnt offerings (livestock) a male from the herd without blemish and bring them to the door of the Tent of meeting that he may be accepted before the Lord. This starts the instructions for the priest and people of Israel of the various offerings: burnt, cereal, peace, purification, reparation (or sin) offerings that were to be used, although the priests are essential for handling the blood, carrying out the sacrifice and dividing the "portions", needs to know how this is to be done. Sacrifices are to be divided between God, the priest, and the one who brought the sacrifice, although in some cases the entire sacrifice is a single portion consigned to God - i.e., burnt to ashes. As it describes the consecration of Aaron and his sons as the first priests, the first sacrifices, and God's destruction of two of Aaron's sons for ritual offenses it also describes the consequences of not following God’s instructions. As Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense; and they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, contrary to his command. Moses has to warn Aaron that although he had lost two sons (due to their failure to follow God’s order) the dedication worshipping of God had to continue. This also goes to show that the guidelines of priests to serve as intermediaries between God and his people and to communicate God’s word to his people was a very distinctive position which meant that even though their offense might have seemed trivial and the punishment to great God could not let that insult go unpunished.…

    From the time of his birth, Moses had many experiences that uniquely prepared him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses was adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter and brought up in the king’s household. He learned by observing his adopted grandfather the meaning of authority and leadership. Moses received the best available education in the ancient world. Later, after he was forced to leave Egypt, Moses learned about life in the desert while working as a shepherd. Moses would use everything that he learned from these life experiences to lead his people out of Egypt. All of these experiences that prepared Moses for leadership were a part of God’s unique plan and purpose for Moses’ life. Psalm 139:16 tells us, “All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” God has given you your life experiences to prepare you for the vision that He has given to you. God is not finished. He will continue to give you experiences that will mold you into the person that God wants you to become. God is making you into person who will resemble Jesus and who will give glory to…

    In the book of Numbers, we are told of the Israelites being led out of Egypt by Moses. They were led out because 400 years before that, they had been made slaves. Moses led the Israelites to Mount Sinai where God handed down to him the Ten Commandments. After this they made their way to the Promise Land. Once they found the Promise Land, God told them they could enter; however, no one trusted God enough to go in. As part of a punishment for not having faith in God, they were forced to wonder for forty years. Sukkot commemorates the end of the Jewish wandering by giving thanks for a plentiful harvest. It is now one of three pilgrimage festivals that those of Jewish faith…

    The story of Exodus really touched my heart; from the sacrifice of his mother, to the friendship of the brothers, and to the faith of Moses. If I were Moses, I would do the same thing. Growing up as an Egyptian and later finding out that I’m not.. it’s just heartbreaking and heart-warming at the same time; knowing that I’m really blessed to be alive. The moment God appeared before Moses, he questioned God. He told him that he couldn’t do what God is commanding him to do, but God has the power over…
