This week in our deeper study of the book of Numbers we want to see and experience the major types concerning Christ in Numbers, and today in particular we want to see how Aaron’s budding rod typifies the resurrected Christ blossoming and bearing fruit to maturity.

In the Scriptures there is a contrast between two Nazarites: Samuel and Samson, where Samuel is a positive pattern of a faithful Nazarite, being one who ministered to God and His people as a Nazarite, a prophet, a priest, a judge, and a man of prayer. His mother Hannah lived in the time of Eli […]
