The Book of Numbers

How much money do you have?

How many children/grandchildren?

How long have you worked here?

What time do the Lions play?

 

The answers to all these questions (and many more!) are given using numbers.

To the ancient descendants of Abraham, numbers had an additional layer of meaning.

YHWH had promised their patriarchs a land and a large number of descendants.

He had sworn to build them into a nation and to bless and protect them.

Their responsibility was to trust Him and take up their role as being a distinct people and a

blessing to the nations around them.

We will journey with them thru the book of Numbers and learn-

“how not to walk by faith”.
