Numbers 1-2
What God said to me – The Levites were different from all the other tribes of Israel. They were My priests and they ministered to Me. They were also the buffer between Me and the rest of Israel – they camped around My tabernacle so there would be no wrath on the rest of Israel. You see I knew there would be a turning away from Me and My standards so I placed the Levites between Me and the others to keep My wrath in check. I would see My priests serving and ministering and keep My wrath in check. The church is as the Levites in the world today. They are My priests and My ministers and as I see them at work, I hold My wrath in check. However, there is coming a day when I will remove My church from this world and bring them to Me. In that day there will be no holding back of My wrath. Serve faithfully until that day.
