The Gospel in NUMBERS
by Henry Law, 1858
Next count the register. It presents a vast array of Numbered warriors. They stretch beyond six hundred thousand men. Numb. 1:46. Whence is this marvelous increase? One family had entered Egypt. Hardship, and cruelty, and toil had done their worst to keep them low. But now, within the lapse of a short period, they stand an army of this vast extent. Whence is this multiplied expanse?
God’s early promise was their portion. “I will make of you a great nation.” Gen. 12:2. God’s purpose never fails. When He has spoken, seeming impossibilities may rise–but all in vain–fulfillment will not tarry. The Numbered People prove, that our God is Truth as well as Love. His promise is a seed, which surely ripens into fruit.
