Numbers 11 - Joshua 24: The fifth unit of the Bible

2/14/2012

0 Comments

 
         Now that we have finished all of the preparation through the “algebra” of the Mosaic Law given at Mount Sinai, we are ready to join the Israelites in their march to the Promised Land through the fifth section of the Bible which stretches from Numbers 11 to Joshua 24.  According to the 2012 calendar of readings, this section runs from February 15 through March 15, exactly one month.  In Bible chronology it will cover several decades, enough to cover two generations.
         Now a few observations to prepare us for the trip:
         1)  The main events of the unit: The approach, entrance and conquest of the Promised Land
         2)  Yahweh’s attributes which stand out: His holiness, His righteousness, His jealousy and power, His faithfulness
         3)  Yahweh’s main work: The sanctification of a people to prepare them to receive His promises
         4)  The main participants: The generation of Moses and Aaron who experienced redemption in Egypt will be replaced by a generation led by Joshua who will enter the Promised Land
         5)  The main reference to Jesus Christ and the gospel: “I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near: a star shall come out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel” (Numbers 24:17).
         6)  Key observation: Notice the movement from an ungrateful generation to a generation of faith.
         Above all, we will see Yahweh’s glory in His faithfulness to a people who does not deserve it, and finally, the response of faith in those who love Him.
