2 | SEEMS CONTRADICTION IN NUM 20:21-22. | Numbers | Beja | 229820 | ||
donaldb, I do not know that I can answer perfectly to your satisfaction, but let me give you some pointers on reading the story as a whole, because it is wonderful. Read it from the perspective of the peopleof Israel concerning God's faithfulness to His people. The story begins with individuals plotting the destruction of God's people in secret with the people of Israel completely unaware, and therefore unable to defend themselves in any way from this threat. Scripture itself seems to take the threat seriously. The point of the story is God faithfully standing between harm and his people. What at the beginning of the story is a secret threat which could possibly destroy the people is through the corse of the story made into something so foolish it is being rebuked by a donkey and ultimately ends with God turning the entire event to a blessing being pronounced over his people by their enemies. Read the story with that in mind and see if it is not wonderful to you as you consider the faithfulness of God watching over the saints from threats we would never even suspect! In Christ, Beja |
