“Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.”
Numbers 2:2 KJV
The arrangements of the camps of Israel reveal God’s character. He instructed Moses where each tribe should encamp around His Tabernacle. God is the God of order and harmony. He gave a beautiful blueprint for the encampment of His people with all twelve tribes divided into four camps and looking from above, it was shaped as a Cross. When Balaam came on the hilltop to curse Israel, he couldn’t because he looked down at the encampment in the shape of the Cross, and blessings poured out of his mouth instead! When anyone comes against you to curse you and they see the finished work of the Cross in you, they can never touch you with ill-will of any kind. Today in the New Covenant, Christ dwells in those who believe in the finished work of the Cross. God gives leadership, unity of team-work and the salvation of souls to those who believe Him. That’s the Kingdom of God blueprint and it works by the power of love. The mystery is that Christ in you is the hope of glory. Hallelujah!
