God\u2019s guidance to Israel gave attention to both the individual and to the community. Both aspects were important and continue to be important today. \u201cUnder the New Covenant there is a distribution of grace to every one, an endowment of each according to his faith with priestly and even kingly powers\u2026. [Yet] The commission each receives is not to be a free- lance in the Divine warfare, but to take his right place in the ranks; and that place he must find.\u201d (Guzik)<\/p>\n
It will be another 38-39 years before they go into battle in the promised land. Establishing numbers, ranks, order, and will not only affect these men but those born over the next 38 years. In establishing order there is not only purpose but a joining together, but a uniting of spirit for the cause. Plans are developed and actions taken based on rank and order. Unity in purpose is a strong bond that will overcome doubts. Having God lead, guide, and teach them in the wilderness about godliness, sin, obedience, and faith will take time for them to mature as a unified nation before moving into take the promised land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
