OTI-04 - Numbers - God's Goodness

This Book speaks of the SEVERITY of GOD
[He destroys the old generation in chapters 1-25]
and the GOODNESS of GOD
[He works with the new generation in chapters 26-36] as described in Romans 11:22:
Behold, therefore, the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in [his] goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. (KJV).

It also warns of two sins: PRESUMPTION [I Corinthians 10:1-12] and UNBELIEF [Hebrews 3:7 - 4:6].

This book illustrates that unbelief defeats the unbeliever. It is an epic story about the halting progress of unwilling followers.

It took them only 40 hours to get out of Egypt in Exodus, 30 days to learn of God’s HOLINESS in Leviticus, but nearly 40 years to get out of the Wilderness of Egypt -- within them.

They went up a mixed multitude [Exodus 12:38]
who wanted a Savior [Exodus] but not a Lord [Sinai].

Numbers provides so many illustrations in the NT.

There are four specific types [1 Corinthians 10:6
Now these were our examples [TUPOI, types], to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.. (KJV)] described in Numbers:

1. The Manna in 11:6-9 [John 6:31-33]
2. The Smitten Rock in 20:7-11 [I Cor. 10:4].
3. The Brazen Serpent in 21:4-9 [John 3:14].
4. The Cities of Refuge in 35:6-32 [Hebrews 6:18]

Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. (KJV)

Chapter 7 = Freewill offerings

1. God loves SPONTANEITY; these gifts were not commanded.
2. God is pleased even with UNIFORMITY; these gifts are all the same.
3. God expresses His delight with PARTICULARITY [God who possesses all things, loves and cherishes each individual’s gift.
