The message of the Book of Numbers is universal and timeless. It is the book of the service and walk of God’s people; reminding believers of the spiritual warfare in which they are engaged. Numbers bridges the gap between the Israelites receiving the Law (Exodus and Leviticus) and preparing them to enter the Promised Land (Deuteronomy and Joshua).
Numbers sees the Israelites wander in the wilderness 40 years because of their rebellion. God also sometimes allow us to wander away from him and suffer loneliness and lack of blessings when we rebel. But God is faithful and just, and just as he restored the Israelites to their rightful place in his heart, he will always restore Christians to the place of blessing and intimate fellowship with him if we repent and return to him (1 John 1:9).
