    Num.12.7 "Moses and Jesus" (4 of 4)

    "My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house."

    Who is a servant? Jesus defined it thus. "Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin." ( Jn 8.34) James comments on it, "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." ( Jas. 4.17) Moses was faithful in all mine house.' He was anointed as Jesus was so God cast him forth even before he was born to all intent and purpose he could called 'after our likeness' and a double for the Son. God set him a task to speak unto the Israelites,"Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say." (Exod.4.12) His meekness exasperated God, and there was plan B, "And he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. 15And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do." Compare Mt.10.40 and Aaron became his mouthpiece. Moses could have served as the high priest after the Order of Melchizedek, and a double for Jesus Christ. Aaron by default became the branch, in a accusative sense and he presided over the golden calf thereafter. Not fully trusting in God he failed there. The same failure shall come up at Kadesh/ "And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them."(Num.20.11-12)

    What does the number 10 in the Decalogue indicate. Ten is the number of cndemnation. He was called to be the Savior of a nation but failed. He brought forth quails "And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp"(Num.11.31)
