The Way for the World - Numbers/Bemidbar: The Way for The World, #4

By Xola Mgoduka

Genesis ch.9 tells us of the Noachide Covenant that covers all living creatures on the earth. Other portions of scripture such as Deuteronomy ch.18 tell that there are many actions for which all people are judged. This series aims to search out the scriptures for clues to all such actions.

This edition focuses on what the Book of Numbers has to tell on this topic.

How wonderful is He? Surely it is beyond words.

This i say as one who, perhaps foolishly, has been attempting to script a thorough explanation of His Grace and soon found that his excitement was greater than his vocabulary.

Yet, if this is so, how is it that so much trouble and suffering abound? That largely comes down to the world not properly grasping that there is a way of doing things that even it is bound to follow, so that it has created this trouble by ignorantly disobeying this way. The aim of this work is to express and explain this way for the world.

There is a law that every single person and nation is judged by. An examination of Scripture will reveal it thoroughly.

Introduction

The first part of understanding that there is an extensive law for the world is to dismiss the notion that any detailed covenant between The Father and mankind is for the Israeli community only. Not simply dismiss, but to disprove it.

Scripture shows (Genesis ch. 9, particularly vs1, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17) that there was a covenant of minor detail but great importance between The Father and Noah (the father of mankind). So we know there is a relationship with set conditions and benefits.

The second part is to examine His nature and apply logic to this examination. He loves (Exodus 34 vs6-7) His children, all of them. So He wouldn't give laws unless they were beneficial (Deuteronomy ch. 29 vs9). So if there are laws for some and these are beneficial, then there will be laws for all others. And this goes beyond Genesis ch. 9, on account of many more actions being potentially harmful (as implied by Leviticus ch. 19 vs29 and Deuteronomy ch. 29 vs19). So naturally, as per His loving nature, He will be on the lookout and react to how His children treat each other. So naturally, there will be certain actions that He will judge (Amos ch. 1-2). This effectively makes them laws to be followed.

(And even in the case of special covenants between The Father and specific parties, Israel is not
