Read: Numbers 8-10
Reading about the tabernacle and all the intricate details God told them to do makes me realize how involved the Lord wants to be in the smallest details of our lives. They couldn’t move until the cloud moved. I wonder how many times I have moved outside of God’s cloud in my life.
The Levites were the tribe that God set apart to minister to Him. Much was required of them and much was given them. “To whom much is given; much is required.” Luke 12:48 They were to stand in for the first born so they were always acting out being redeemed: offering sacrifices for sins, cleanings, praying, etc.
The passover was a picture of the cross and when they asked whether a person defiled by touching a dead body would exempt them from observing the passover God’s answer was “No”. Nothing we have done can exempt us from the saving power of the cross. It was for every sinner. The only person who will not be saved by the passover was the person who refused to participate. It is still true today.
God told Moses to make two silver trumpets which would be used to call the people to war. Trumpets have to do with prophets. Prophets are the ones who call us to war. Personally, it is the prophet inside you that calls you to war when you need to fight. The trumpets were also blown over their sacrifices, at the beginning of their months, and at their feasts. These are all times that God dealt with his people and spoke to them. The trumpet and the prophet call the people together to hear from God.
Lord, help us to dwell under the cloud of Your Holy Spirit.
