Thought for Today: Thursday May 06
Identify the "danger areas" in your life -- those tendencies or weaknesses that carry the greatest hazard of plunging you into sin. Carefully evaluate what activities, situations or associations during the course of an average week bring you closest to those areas of "thin ice".
"The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: and the face of the Lord is against them that do evil."
1P 3
"The eyes of Yahweh run to and fro throughout the whole earth
to shew himself strong with them that are of perfect heart toward him." 2Chr 16
The number of Levites in Numbers 1-3 adds up to 22,300, but the Bible says 22,000. The missing 300 are the firstborn of the Levites. They weren't counted because they already belonged to God.
Read the census carefully and compare the number of firstborn males in each of the tribes of Israel to the number of people in each tribe. How many children must each family have had to make these numbers work? Even considering that many firstborn men died in Egypt from disease, hard labor, or disobedience to the instructions of Passover, the ratio is still astonishing.
And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall guard their priesthood. But if any outsider comes near, he shall be put to death.
Numbers 3:10
Only a physical, male descendant of Aaron can offer sacrifices in the earthly Tabernacle or Temple. No women and no kings, prophets, or Levites who are not sons of Aaron. Not even Messiah may act in the place of a Levitical priest. (The Tabernacle in Heaven is another matter.)
NEWS HEADLINE: Third person in the U.S. diagnosed with Bird Flu
(according to Dr. Bryan Ardis the bird flu was discovered in the 1950’s. As of June 2024 the amount of people who have died from bird flu is still at ZERO!!!)
Numbers 3:1 refers to the "Generations of Aaron and Moses." Literally these were the sons of Aaron. Ideologically, they were the sons of Moses.
There's a small #chiasm in vs 2-3.
-A- These are the names
---B- Nadab and Abihu
---B- Eleazar and Ithamar
-A- These are the names.
Aaron's four sons are a picture of the divided kingdom, the body of Messiah, the wheat and the tares. Two sons sinned and were destroyed. Two remained to serve. Obedience to God is paramount.

In the end, our restoration to God is beyond our power. Solely by His action can we be healed.
Our weaknesses, mistakes, and past failures don't matter in God's sight. Only our faithfulness matters, especially the faithfulness of #yeshua. In the Day of the Lord, Israel will be fully restored, the grafted-in fully affirmed, & the distant brought near.
Hosea 2 #endtimes #prophecy
