民数记 第十章|Book of Numbers 10【兴起前进得神恩！】
27/03/2024
引言：人生不归路····；但我们是走向神的应许之地！
一、号令众营备起行（V1-10）
号角是神的乐器兼武器；吹号的作用有以下几类行动：
1.一般吹响双号召集全会众（V3）
2.单吹一只银号只召集领袖（V4）
3.大声吹号是要东边营起行（V5）
4.再次大声吹号南边营起行（V6）
5.在打仗时也是要大声吹号（V9）
6.在欢庆节期时也是要吹号（V10）
号筒、号角是神的乐器（亚9:14）、是欢庆时的欢呼声、也是争战的武器、特别由祭司的子孙负责：召集、起行、作战、欢庆都是以吹号作为记号！
二、按军列队齐前进（V11-28）
1.神的云彩引道路（V11-13）
“云彩从法柜的帐幕收上去”？这是什么样的一幕情景啊？你看过夕阳、晚霞、彩虹般的色彩、厚厚的云彩所形成的一幕情景吗？这是神荣耀同在的一种象征。而且这云彩显然不是远在天边的那种，而是就在近距离的会幕上空。所谓云彩收上去，可以想象就是快速升空，越来越小，不久就不见了。这就是神明显的指示，起来行动上路了。
2.赞美帐幕行在先（V14-17）
照着先前在第二章已经说过的列队起行，以【赞美】为旗号的犹大率先起行。至圣荣耀的帐幕要拆卸，要扛要抬；可以想象这支以赞美歌颂为首的队伍，做着何等荣耀尊贵的服事。这里让我们联想到神的军队前进的法则，以歌颂赞美为先，既是在信心中先感恩，让神带领必然蒙福。
3.抬着圣物往前行（V18-21）
跟着是南边营寨的军队随行，但是约柜等圣物却是由利未族的子孙所抬。这是分别为圣的物，也由分别为圣的利未人来负责。利未人经营神同在的圣物，大家都要按次序跟随。
对于新约的基督徒而言，我们好像什么都可以做。其实如果在一个大规模的组织里，各尽其专职也是必然的。例如婚丧礼仪、圣餐、洗礼、按手祷告等，必然先由辈份高的圣职人员执行。但是在小群体教会中，信徒们也许都包办了这些服事。
4.紧紧跟随齐前进（V22-28）
神的约柜在中间，其他在西面和北面的队伍也紧紧跟随其后，这就形成一个以神为中心的队伍。人生中的家庭、事业、生意如果都有神在中心，生活所展现出来的面貌必然荣耀。
三、前往应许得好处（V29-33）
神要赐下美好的应许之地，和摩西有亲属关系的小舅子当然也不例外。应许之地有神所预备的好处，怎能不与身边的人分享呢？但人是否愿意受邀而跟随神的法则？这是人的选择啊！
总结：有神的蒙恩之旅（V34-36）
拔营起行有云柱遮阳、约柜同行仇敌四散、约柜停住神也同在。 原来人生的每一步都可以有神引领，这还能不蒙福吗？
Numbers 10 Arise,Advance and receive God’s grace
GK611 Morning Devotion
27 March 2024
The Morning Devotion Speaker: Rev David Tan
Introduction：Life's road of no return ----; but we are moving toward God's Promised Land!
1. The trumpet prepares the congregation to rise up and go (V1-10)
The trumpet is God's musical instrument and weapon; the blowing of the trumpet serves the following types of actions:
(1) Generally blowing a double trumpets to summon the whole congregation (V3)
(2) A single silver trumpet is blown to summon only the leaders (V4)
(3) The loud blowing of the trumpet was to raise the east side of the camp (V5)
(4) Blow the trumpet again to call the southern camps to action (V6)
(5) The trumpet was also blown loudly in times of war (V9)
(6) Blow the trumpet at festivals (V10)
Trumpets and trumpets are God's instruments (Zech. 9:14), the sound of rejoicing, and weapons of war, especially by the children of the priests: the trumpet is used as a sign of assembling, of starting, of war, and of rejoicing!
2. Marching in formation (V11-28)
(1) God's cloud leads the way (V11-13)
"The cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle of the Testimony."? What kind of scene is this? Have you ever seen a scene created by a sunset, an evening sun, a rainbow of colors, and a thick cloud? It is a symbol of God's glorious presence. And this cloud is obviously not the kind that is far away in the sky, but right over the Tabernacle in the near distance. The so-called cloud closing up, as you can imagine, was rising quickly into the sky, getting smaller and smaller, and soon it was gone. This was God's obvious instruction to get up and move on the road.
（2) The praise tabernacle goes first (V14-17)
According to what has already been said in chapter 2, Judah, with [praise] as its banner, is the first to rise. The tabernacle of the most holy glory was to be dismantled, carried and lifted up; and one can imagine what a glorious and honourable service this procession, headed by praise and singing, was doing. Here we are reminded of the law of the advance of God's army, which begins with songs of praise, both in faith and thanksgiving first, and in allowing God to lead the way will certainly be blessed.
(3) Carrying the holy things forward (V18-21)
The army of the southern camp followed, but the Ark of the Covenant and other holy things were carried by the sons of Levi. These were holy things, and they were carried by the Levites, who were set apart. The Levites operated the holy things of God's presence, and all were to follow in order.
For New Testament Christians, it seems like we can do anything. In fact, if you are in a large-scale organisation, it is inevitable that each one will do his or her own special duty. For example, wedding and funeral liturgy, communion, baptism, laying on of hands, etc., must first be performed by the senior priesthood. However, in small group churches, the believers may do all these services.
(4) Following closely and moving ahead together (V22-28)
With the Ark of the covenant in the middle, and the other processions in the west and north following closely behind, this creates a God-centered procession. If life's family, career, and business all have God in the centre, the outlook that life presents is bound to be glorious.
3. Going to the promise and receiving good things (V29-33)
God is going to give a wonderful Promised Land, and Moses' brother-in-law, who was related to him, was certainly no exception. How could the Promised Land not be shared with those around him when there were benefits prepared by God? But is man willing to be invited to follow God's law? It is man's choice!
Conclusion: The journey of grace with God (V34-36)
The Ark of the Covenant had pillar of cloud as shading, walked with the enemies scattered, and the Ark of the Covenant stopped and God is with them. It turns out that every step in life can be guided by God, can this not be blessed?
