Memory verses for this week: Jer 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

Introduction: We continue our study on Numbers this week as we continue in Chapter 9. Last week we covered the setting apart God did with the Levites. They effectively replaced the first born of each family as being the one chosen of the Lord, and this tribe was used for the care of the tabernacle. The ones chosen for service had to be between the ages of 25 and 50, with those from 25-29 being in a learning position to do full service at the age of 30.

I. Observance of the Passover Feast

Num 9:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

Num 9:2 Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.

God spoke to Moses in the first month of the second year after they had been delivered from captivity in the land of Egypt, and told him that the Israelites were to keep the passover. Just as you and I have a responsibility in the church to at least annually observe the Lord’s Supper, the children of Israel had the duty to observe the passover. This feast commemorated the deliverance of God’s children from Egypt after the tenth plague.

The death angel had come across the land of Egypt and had slain the firstborn of every home if the blood had not been applied to the doorposts and lintel. The Israelites who knew to take the blood and put it over the door as commanded were spared the loss of the firstborn child. If the death angel found the blood, then he passed over the home and no harm came to the first born. There is sure and perfect typification when we look to the saved believer today.

When it comes to the judgment, God will look to see if we have had the blood applied and our soul saved. If so, we will enter into heaven. Those who have not accepted Christ as Lord and Savior will pay a horrible price in that day.
