Numbers 29:1-40
Between the feast of weeks (Pentecost) and the feast of trumpets (28:26-29:6), there was the harvest.
Pentecost- the outpouring of the Holy Spirit - has ushered in the time of Harvest- the saved are being gathered in as men and women are being won for Christ.
During this time of harvest, we ‘blow the trumpets’ of worship, rejoicing in the Lord (1), and ‘alarm’, calling on men and women to pay attention to the Word of the Lord (Joel 2:1).
By blowing the trumpets for God, we prepare the way for the final trumpet, ‘the trumpet of God’(1 Corinthians 15:52; 1 Thessalonians 4:16).
We must get ready, and we must encourage others to get ready, for Christ’s Return.
Atonement (7-11), Tabernacles (12-40): Christ has ‘tabernacled’ among us (John 1:14).
He has made ‘atonement’ for us (Romans 5:11).
Share the Good News!
Numbers 30:1-31:20
Vows (30:1-16): Be careful what you say - You may live to regret it (Ecclesiastes 5:2, 4-6; Matthew 12:36-37; James 3:6-11).
Learn from Balaam.
Full of good intentions about speaking God’s Word (22:18; 23:12), he hoped to ‘die the death of the righteous’(23:10).
He did not live up to his good intentions.
He sinned and he led others into sin (31:16).
He ended up being slain among God’s enemies (31:8).
Why were the Midianites destroyed (31:7-8)?
They opposed the Lord, exerting an evil influence on His people.
We must take care that we do not cause God’s people ‘to act treacherously against’ Him (31:16).
Sin needs to be removed if we are to press on to a greater enjoyment of God’s blessing.
‘Put to death what is earthly in you... put off the old nature... put on the new nature’(Colossians 3:5-11).
This is what we must do.
Numbers 31:21-54
If we are to be ‘soldiers of Christ’, we need to be ‘purified’, made ‘clean’.
There is purification by ‘fire’ and ‘water’.
Purification may be painful, but we have the promise of God’s protective presence.
He says, ‘I will be with you’.
He assures us, ‘the waters... shall not overwhelm you... and the flame shall not shall not consume you’(22-24; Isaiah 43:2).
From the Old Testament wars, we learn important spiritual principles: Enter the war, Destroy the sins, Possess the land.
This is what we must do throughout life.
Looking beyond Israel’s triumphs to Christ’s victory over Satan (Hebrews 2:14-15; 1 John 3:8), we thank God for His victory and we claim this victory by faith (1 Corinthians 15:57; 1 John 5:4-5).
The battle may be ‘fierce’.
The ‘victory is secure’(Church Hymnary, 479).
Praise God!
