All right, my Bible in 365, brothers and sisters.

We have arrived at the book of numbers, and this one has created a lot of internal conflict for me,

because I think I'm going to take a completely different route than that which I have been taking for this book,

and actually kind of a different route that I've been taking for all the other books because the book of numbers represents a phenomenal lesson that we can learn through tremendous tragedy.

And when I say tremendous tragedy, I mean terrible tragedy. Now, I want to just explain

this because it's important. You have to understand the premise behind this book in order to be

able to grasp the lesson that the children of Israel had to learn so that you don't have to learn

it experientially.

And this one is a big deal.

So let's do this.

Let's go over the sort of big picture of the book of numbers and then we'll start

drilling down into so many of the important lessons that we can learn.

First and foremost, numbers literally, you guys, is the story of people who were very close

to the promised land, but never entered into it because of unbelief.

I think this is the story of our younger generation.

I think that our younger generation is being told that they

can't buy a home, they can't do these things, they can't move to the next step because they're

listening to the voices of liars. In reality, nothing has ever been easier than it is today in this time for young people to do all of those

things. But the enemy wants to poison the minds of so many people through unbelief. So the book

captures literally what I believe to be one of the greatest tragedies that you will ever see in the history of the Bible, quite frankly, maybe even the whole Old Testament.

I can tell you this right now, it's so important because we do see some tragedies that are big at the very end of the New Testament.

But this is really, really sad.
