You have been named a beneficiary in God’s will
Numbers 1 /Hebrews 7-9
How to get the most out of Hungry Bible
OT
1:54 So the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
NT
7:25 Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save everyone who comes to God through him. He lives forever to plead with God on their behalf.
8:10-12 But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds so they will understand them, and I will write them on their hearts so they will obey them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their family, saying, “You should know the Lord.” For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will already know me. And I will forgive their wrongdoings, and I will never again remember their sins.
9:16-18 Now when someone dies and leaves a will, no one gets anything until it is proved that the person who wrote the will is dead. The will goes into effect only after the death of the person who wrote it. While the person is still alive, no one can use the will to get any of the things promised to them. That is why blood was required under the first covenant – proof of death.
OT Flash Points
Census – 20 and older, able to go to war
Except the Levites who were protection for the people from God’s wrath
NT Flash Points
Our protection is our High Priest, Jesus
Instead of animals’ blood as proof, our proof is His blood
Writing in our hearts His laws
He is coming to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him
Perspective
God’s judgment is sure and just
He makes provision for us to escape His wrath by adopting us into His own Family and giving us the inheritance of His Kingdom with His Son, Jesus
