Being Formed into an Army to Fight for the Protection of God’s Testimony on Earth
The book of Numbers records how God’s chosen and redeemed people were formed into an army – a priestly army – to journey with God and fight with God for His interest on earth (see Num. 1:1-4:49; 9:15-10:36; 12:16; 20:1-21:35; 31:1-54; 33:1-49).

Meeting in Oneness, in the name of Jesus, in the Mingled Spirit, and with the Cross

Also, He is nine types of stones: the eternal rock, the foundation stone, the living stone, the cornerstone, the precious stone, the topstone, the cleft rock, the crushing stone, and the stone of stumbling!

the central thought of the book of Psalms is Christ and the church as the house and the city of God
