You may be seated. Please turn in your Bible to Numbers chapter 26, our Old Testament reading is in Numbers 26.
00:11
That is on page 133 of your Pew Bible. In this chapter, we see a census of the people at this point in Israel's history.
00:27
They have encountered several dangers. Now a census is taken just before they will go into the land of Israel.
00:34
If you recall, at the beginning of this book, a census was taken as they were about to go into the land of Canaan, but then the people had sinned against God and had to wander in the wilderness for 40 years.
00:46
But now, they are taking another census before they are to go in for real.
00:53
And so, several things to take away from this. One is that we see
00:59
God has been faithful in his promise to Abraham, he has made his children more than the sand on the seashore, he has given him many children in this chapter.
01:11
In addition to that, we see a picture of his forgiveness. The people having been, a census having been taken of them before that they would go into the land of Canaan, them by their sin not being allowed in to that rest of God, but now, through God's mercy to them, being allowed in, this census representing that new entry into this kingdom.
01:41
