  Numbers Chapter 9, let us pray. Father, who's in heaven, We
• 0:06
  thank you, God for another opportunity to come and to
• 0:08
  worship you in spirit and truth. God, we thank you for waking us
• 0:13
  up and putting us on our feet. Lord, we thank you for your holy
• 0:16
  scriptures. Lord, continue to show up, show
• 0:20
  off, show out. God, rescue those to the utmost.
• 0:25
  Father, I pray that somebody will get saved today.
• 0:28
  I pray that somebody will finally let go of all of their
• 0:32
  hurts and their hang ups and their habits, Lord, and they'll
• 0:36
  surrender completely and fully and totally over until you heal
• 0:41
  us today. God, heal our broken bodies,
• 0:43
  heal our minds. Lord, heal our families and
• 0:46
  marriages. God bring the prodigals home.
• 0:49
  God, we lift up law enforcement in military and ask you, God, to
• 0:54
  supernaturally protect those. God, give them a divine force
• 0:59
  field all around them. Father, those agents that are
• 1:02
  doing your work, Lord, out in the harvest.
• 1:06
  Lord, I pray that they will be sensitive to what it is that
• 1:10
  they're hearing and seeing and what it is they are to do.
• 1:14
  God, we ask for righteous judges in the land, we ask that you'll
• 1:19
  continue to help us to exalt the Holy Scriptures above all
• 1:25
  narrative. God, help us to actually believe
• 1:28
  it, to actually walk in it. Father, we love you, teach us
• 1:33
  your past, teach us your ways. Holy Spirit, fill us today.
• 1:37
  In Jesus name I pray, Amen. Let's start in verse one.
• 1:44
  And the Lord spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai in the
• 1:48
  first month of the second year after they had come out of the
• 1:51
  land of Egypt, saying so here. This is the anniversary of the
• 1:55
  first Passover that they went through in Egypt.
• 2:00
  Whenever the destroying Angel went by and destroyed all the
• 2:03
  first borns that did not have the blood covering the lentil of
• 2:08
  the doorpost. To let the children of Israel
• 2:12
  also keep the Passover at His appointed season 3 in the 14th
• 2:17
  day of this month at evening you shall keep it in his appointed
• 2:21
  season, according to all the rites of it, and according to
• 2:25
  all the ceremonies of it. Shall you keep it?
• 2:28
  Four. And Moses spoke unto the
• 2:31
  children of Israel, they that they should keep the Passover.
• 2:34
  And friends, we are to keep the Passover as well, so that we can
• 2:38
  be passed over in the day, friends.
• 2:40
  And our Passover is Jesus Christ.
• 2:44
  We put His blood upon our lives and we're covered in it from the
• 2:50
  top of our head to the bottom of our feet, friends.
• 2:52
  And we stand before a holy God, and we are passed over from the
• 2:56
  judgment of those who refuse him and blasphemy the Spirit.
• 3:01
  And whenever they have to stand before a holy God on the great
• 3:05
  white judgment, the great white throne, friends.
• 3:08
  And they try to give all kinds of their pedigree and all of
• 3:12
  their resume and everything they did, and they cast out demons in
• 3:17
  his name and they performed miracles in his name.
• 3:21
  And they did all these things. He's going to say, depart from
• 3:25
  me because they're not covered in the blood of Jesus.
• 3:28
  We need it, friends, in order to be passed over in that day.
• 3:34
  Five. And they kept the Passover on
• 3:36
  the 14th day of the first month, that evening in the wilderness
• 3:39
  of Sinai, according to all that the Lord commanded Moses.
• 3:43
  So did the children of Israel. So you can see this radical
• 3:47
  obedience up to this .6 And there were certain men who were
• 3:51
  defiled by the dead body of a man, and they could not keep the
• 3:55
  Passover on that day. And they came before Moses, and
• 3:58
  before Aaron on that day. 7 And those men said unto him, We are
• 4:04
  defiled by the dead body of a man, Wherefore are we kept back,
• 4:08
  that we may not offer an offering of the Lord as
• 4:11
  appointed season among the children of Israel?
• 4:14
  8 And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and now we'll hear
• 4:18
  what the Lord will command concerning you. 9 And the Lord
• 4:22
  spoke unto Moses, saying, 10 Speak unto the children of
• 4:26
  Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall
• 4:31
  be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey far
• 4:35
  off, yet he shall keep the Passover unto the Lord.
• 4:38
  So God here is going to make a couple provisions, and he's
• 4:42
  going to let them know how they can keep Passover if they're
• 4:47
  unclean. And he's going to give them this
• 4:49
  month timeline so that they can know that they have been passed
• 4:54
  over and they can celebrate it. 11 The 14th day of the second
• 5:07
  Monday evening shall you keep it and eat it with unleavened bread
• 5:10
  and bitter herbs. So we know that the Passover
• 5:13
  ultimately passes. It points us towards the cross
• 5:17
  of Christ of Calvary friends. We see that this unleavened
• 5:21
  bread was the Last Supper, and the bitter herbs was the bitter
• 5:25
  cup that Jesus drank from friends, this cup of wrath that
• 5:29
  was poured out on him. 12 And they shall leave none of it
• 5:33
  until the morning, nor break any bone of it, according to all the
• 5:37
  ordinances of the Passover. They shall keep it.
• 5:40
  So we know that is the body of Jesus.
• 5:43
  None of his bones were broken, friends.
• 5:45
  And that is what you need to know is that all the way back
• 5:48
  here God is prophesying of what will happen to Jesus on that
• 5:53
  cross. 13 But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey,
• 5:58
  and for bears to keep the Passover, even the same soul
• 6:02
  shall be cut off from among his people, because he brought not
• 6:05
  the offering of the Lord, and his appointed season, that man
• 6:09
  shall bear his sin. So God here is saying that if
• 6:13
  they were able to that they were required to. 14 But if and if a
• 6:19
  stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the Passover
• 6:24
  unto the Lord, according to the ordinance of the Passover, and
• 6:28
  according to the manner thereof, so shall he do, You shall have
• 6:33
  one ordinance, both for the stranger and for him that was
• 6:37
  born in the land. So here God is telling them that
• 6:41
  if the stranger wanted to partake in the Passover, he was
• 6:46
  allowed to do so just so as long as he did it within the exact
• 6:52
  requirements that God here was showing the Israelites.
• 6:57
  And it's no different today. In John chapter 14 verse 6,
• 7:01
  Jesus says I am the way, the truth and the life, and no one
• 7:05
  comes unto the Father except through me.
• 7:08
  And he did not say I'm one of many ways.
• 7:11
  And so therefore there's only one way to the Father and his
• 7:14
  name is Jesus and that's the way we come in.
• 7:17
  It doesn't matter who you are. It doesn't matter how wealthy
• 7:20
  you are, your stature, it doesn't matter your skin color,
• 7:23
  your language, it doesn't matter what continent you grew up on.
• 7:27
  It doesn't matter Your childhood trauma, doesn't matter how good
• 7:31
  you've had it in life. It doesn't matter.
• 7:33
  Friends, we all must come the same way through Jesus Christ
• 7:38
  unto the Father. There's only one way. 15 And on
• 7:49
  the day that the Tabernacle was reared up, the cloud covered the
• 7:53
  Tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony.
• 7:56
  And that evening there was upon the Tabernacle, as it were, the
• 8:00
  appearance of fire until the morning.
• 8:02
  So here we could see this cloud by day and pillar of fire by
• 8:06
  night, And the cloud would give the coolness for the sun, and
• 8:10
  the fire would give warmth. And they both were pointing
• 8:14
  towards where the Israelites were to go.
• 8:16
  And this was the manifest presence of God in the camp,
• 8:20
  Friends 16 So it was always the cloud covered it by day, in the
• 8:26
  appearance of fire by night. And you can see here that they
• 8:30
  had all these miraculous signs. So it is a very sad thing to see
• 8:38
  that even after all the miracles that they were shown, they still
• 8:42
  had a rebellious, stiff necked heart. 17 And when the cloud was
• 8:48
  taken up from the Tabernacle, then after that the children of
• 8:51
  Israel journeyed, and in the place where the cloud abode,
• 8:55
  there the children of Israel pitched their tents. 18 At the
• 8:58
  commandment of the Lord the children of Israel journeyed,
• 9:02
  and at the commandment of the Lord they pitched.
• 9:04
  As long as the cloud abode upon the Tabernacle, they rested in
• 9:08
  their tents. So this was a compass.
• 9:10
  This was an indicator. It was to show them where they
• 9:13
  should go, or it was to show them that they were to sit tight
• 9:18
  and to stay put. 19 And when the cloud tarried long upon the
• 9:24
  Tabernacle, many days, then the children of Israel kept the
• 9:28
  charge of the Lord and journeyed not so that was what they were
• 9:32
  required to do. It didn't matter how long it
• 9:35
  stayed there. They had to stay as long as it
• 9:38
  stayed. But then they had to move when
• 9:41
  it moved. 19 And when the cloud tarried long upon the
• 9:48
  Tabernacle, many days the children of of Israel kept the
• 9:52
  charge of the Lord in journey not 20 And so it was when the
• 9:57
  cloud was a few days upon the Tabernacle.
• 10:00
  According to the commandment of the Lord, they abode in their
• 10:03
  tents, and according to the commandment of the Lord they
• 10:06
  journeyed. So God knows all of the external
• 10:11
  things that are happening that the Israelites would know
• 10:14
  nothing about. Whether it was weather patterns,
• 10:17
  whether it was hostile enemies in the vicinity, whether it was
• 10:23
  animals and invasions of pestilences or plagues, whether
• 10:27
  it was insect swarms, whether it was drought, whether it was some
• 10:32
  kind of blight. But God knew how to keep them
• 10:35
  alive, and He knew when they should sit, sit tight, and when
• 10:39
  they should be on the move. And if we'll be led by God,
• 10:43
  we're going to avoid so many pitfalls in life.
• 10:46
  It's those of us who want to go our own way and then ask God to
• 10:50
  cosign on our mess are the ones who get ourselves in a heap of
• 10:55
  trouble. 21 And so it was when the cloud abode from evening
• 11:03
  till morning, that the cloud was taken up.
• 11:05
  In the morning then they journeyed.
• 11:07
  Whether it was by day or night the cloud was taken up, they
• 11:11
  journeyed. 22 Or whether it were two days a month or a year that
• 11:15
  the cloud tarried upon the Tabernacle, remaining thereon
• 11:19
  the children of Israel abode in their tents and journeyed not,
• 11:22
  but when it was taken up they journeyed.
• 11:25
  So they had to be ready at a moment's notice to get on the
• 11:28
  move, and they had to be content to sit tight, no matter how long
• 11:33
  it was that the cloud and the fire tarried will end on. 23 At
• 11:38
  the commandment of the Lord they rested in their tents, and at
• 11:41
  the commandment of the Lord they journeyed.
• 11:44
  They kept the charge of the Lord at the commandment of the Lord
• 11:47
  by the hand of Moses. So here they got it right here
• 11:51
  they did what the Lord asked them to do.
• 11:54
  They were believing and walking in faith.
• 11:56
  But we're going to have to wait to see how it goes in a very
• 12:00
  short amount of chapters. I hope that you are blessed by
• 12:03
  this amazing chapter in God's Word.
• 12:05
  I know I sure am. I'm praying for every single one
• 12:08
  of you. I love you.
• 12:10
  We'll see you back here tomorrow.
• 12:12
  God bless you.
