Life-Study of Numbers and Deuteronomy
Kuhusu kitabu hiki cha kusikiliza
The book of Numbers shows how God’s redeemed people were formed into His army and their journey in fighting for God so that God can gain the ground on earth to build up His kingdom with His habitation. In this Life-study of Numbers, Witness Lee shows how Christ is revealed in the formation of Israel into an army, in their journeying, and in their fighting. In particular, he helps the reader to enter into the central thought of Numbers--that Christ is the meaning of life, the testimony, the center of God’s people, and the Leader, the way, and the goal of their journey and fighting.
The book of Deuteronomy, the concluding book of the Pentateuch, is Moses' re-speaking of the law to the younger generation of Israelites who were not present when the Law was first given. Moses re-spoke the Law to these younger generation of Israelites in order to prepare them to enter into and take possession of the land promised to them by God. In the Life-study of Deuteronomy, Witness Lee shows that in this retraining by respeaking, Christ is the Instructor and Leader of the people of God that they may be able to enter into the heavenly territory and participate in His riches.
