The prophets in the Old Testament typify the Holy Spirit as the anointing ointment in the New Testament; the anointing Spirit within us is the Prophet, and we all can know God and can prophesy one by one. In the Old Testament there were mainly two ways that God spoke to His people, the law […]
As Christ is the Prophet Raised by God, so we are Prophets Speaking the Word of God
Just as Christ is the Prophet raised by God, so we today as His brothers and sons of God are prophets speaking the Word of God. In Deut. 18:15 Moses prophesied that God will raise up a Prophet from among the people of Israel, and he will be like him, speaking the Word of God […]

In Num. 16 we see the general rebellion of the leaders and the people of Israel against Moses and Aaron, and we […]
We need to be Saved from Ambition and from Rebelling against God’s Deputy Authority
In Num. 12 and 16 of Numbers we see the rebellion against God’s deputy authority, how Moses reacted to it, and how God deals with rebellion. In the book of Numbers it seems that there was rebellion after rebellion, from the murmuring of the people of Israel against Moses and against God concerning their basic […]
