Israel's Second Numbering

The Book of Numbers is easy to outline.

1. Order - The Old Generation (1:1 - 10:10)

2. Disorder - Transition - Postponement (10:11 - 25:18)

3. Reorder - New Generation - Preparation (26:1 - 36:13)

As we read the second numbering of the Israelites in Numbers 26 we see that a lot of them have died since the first numbering. The conquest of the land was postponed because of their mindset. They died because of their unbelief (see Hebrews 3-4).

Be faithful unto death and be numbered with the faithful in Heaven.
