Israel undergoes an unmentioned revival of sorts, in the wake of the incident with the serpents, and proceeds to go from strength to strength, in this understated passage.

What might God do if you replaced complaining with singing and obedience?

We walk through the incident of the fiery serpents, and the bronze snake on the pole that cured the people. Christ's surprising use of the story. Dispelling some bad ideas.

We look at the death of Aaron and its implications for priesthood. We also explore the notion that priesthood is an inescapable concept. You are accepting that someone in your life speaks for God. If that's not Jesus, it's someone else.

An important message wherein the biblical Doctrine of Interposition is explained, and we see a New Testament example of a Gentile king being held accountable to the Law of God.

Christ's parable about the mustard seed which grows into a tree, where the birds nest in its branches, is a prediction of great Victory for the Kingdom of God and His Gospel. No two ways about it. This is a breathless sort of wild ride on the persistent theme of Gospel Triumph that is found throughout the Bible. Very encouraging, very challenging.
