“And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.” (Numbers 10:3)

From the very beginning of time God was intent on training us. He picked Israel as a model for us. Not because they were the most powerful, but because they were the least powerful. When God sends the least capable it is a message that God can make the least of men into the mightiest (See The Battle of 9 Kings.)
In Numbers, God is building an army. Not to destroy the world, but to save it. Because we, as people, are free to make our own decision here on Earth, we require a long time in training.
To lead his chosen people God needed a signal that they could see and understand. God used a pillar of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night to lead them out of Egypt. At Mt. Sinai he added silver trumpets to call the congregation to the tabernacle, or to arms.
God had created a covenant with the children of Israel that they would be a mighty nation in the land of Canaan. To achieve that goal God’s wrath would extend not just to Egypt and Canaan, but to the disobedient children of Israel.
Stay Tuned…
