In Numbers two we see how the children of Israel were encamped in array as an army, each tribe by its own standard, all facing the center. After the numbering in ch. 1, the children of Israel were put in an array around the tabernacle – this is God’s first step of formation of the […]
Paying the Price to have the Upper-Room Consecration to follow the Heavenly Vision
January 12, 2019 by Leave a Comment
