Today's Reading
Numbers 15-16; Revelation 20
In Numbers 15, the Lord told Moses to say to the Israelites, AFTER you enter the land I am giving you as a home. Although they could not enter Canaan, because of their unbelief, God's grace nad mercy was shown to their children regardless of their sin. Grain and wine offering were to also to be include among the five main offerings mentioned in (Leviticus 1-7). The grain was to be mixed with oil before used. The Apostle Paul said to Timothy in 2Timothy 4.6-8 that he was poured out like drink offering, and the time of his departure was at hand. Paul was thinking of this passage in Num 15.1-12. There was to be offering for unintentional sins v. 22-30. There is the sin that is unintentional, but it must be dealt with because God is a holy God. There is an offering that must be made for it. This unintentional sin can be committed by an individual (v. 22-26) or by the whole community (v. 27-29). But if a person sins he must be cut off from the people. (v. 30-31).
We do not realize how terrible sin is. It does not matter whether the sin is commited intentionally or defiantly. God had to eradicate sin once and for all, that he sent his Son, Jesus to die in our place so that when we are His children, He does not see sin but righteousness.
Numbers 16 dealt with another rebellion. Korah and his friends attack the leadership of Moses and Aaron. Korah was a Kohahtite, and his job in the tabernacle was to take care of the most holy things(Num 4.1-20, 12.8-11). He wanted more, a higher position as a priest. God punished Korah, Dathan and Abiram by having the earth swallow them up. More details are in this link. We need to be CONTENT in whatever position in life God gives us, He knows what is best for us regardless of how we feel about it.

Revelation 20
Revelation spoke of the thousand years (v. 1-6). Satan's doom (v. 7-10). The dead are judged. There will be a judgement day and where you spend eternity depends not on the good deeds that you have done but whether or not you were saved by grace by believing in Jesus Christ.
