Introduction to Numbers
The scope and connection of
Leviticus with Numbers
The Book of Leviticus
contains the revelation of God sitting upon the throne,
where He places Himself that He may be approached by the
people, as far as they could come; that of the priesthood
brought into proximity to the throne, as far as men could
have access to it; and then the promulgation of the
commandments relative to these two great facts, in that
which concerned the generality of the people.
In Numbers we have the
service and walk of the people, figuratively of the
saints through this world: and, consequently, that which
relates to the Levites, and the journey through the
wilderness. Now, as Leviticus ended with regulations and
warnings respecting the possession of the land, and that
with regard to the rights of God, and consequently to the
rights of His people, the Book of Numbers brings us
through the wilderness to the moment before the entrance
of the people into the land at the end of the wilderness
journey, and speaks of that grace which justifies the
people at the close, notwithstanding all their
unfaithfulness.
The wilderness
journey
It is important to keep in
mind that as to the efficacy of redemption the people
were brought to God at Sinai (Ex. 15: 13 and 19: 4). All
in this respect was complete (compare the thief on the
cross and Col. 1: 12). The wilderness journey is a
distinct thing; no part of the purpose of God, but of His
ways with us. Hence it is here "if" comes in
and the time of testing. Jordan coalescing with the Red
Sea, coming out and going in (only the ark was in
Jordan), there was no question of judgment or enemies. It
is the experimental realisation of our death and
resurrection with Christ. But as to the journey we must
reach the goal to get in.
