Notes on the structure of the fourth book.

The word "Numbers" is the name that the translators have given to the forth book of the Pentateuch, on account of the numbering of the People as recorded in Chapters one through three, and twenty six. This name is from the Latin Vulgate "Numeri", which again is a translation from the Septuagint Translators "Arithmoi". The title in the Hebrew cannon, "Bemidbar", "In the wilderness". Numbers then is the book of the Wilderness; and its types are wilderness types, or types of Pilgrimage.

In the numbers book of the Psalms we will find the corresponding subject. It opens with a prayer of Moses, the man of the wilderness. It's teaching is dispensational, like all the other four books, only the earth is the central thought. God's counsels and purpose are celebrated with regard to this earth, and the nations of the earth, from the ruin to the glory; just as we have witnessed them in the prior books of the Psalms with regard to (1) Man, (2) Israel, and (3) The Sanctuary.

Sin has come into the world and ruined not only man, but the earth itself: "Cursed is the ground for thy sake". Sin has made this paradise of God a wilderness, and death has filled it with sorrow and sadness. there is no hope for the earth, no hope for the nations of the earth, and no hope for creation, apart from Jehovah. The first part of this book (90, 91) set the tone for the rest of the chapters of this fourth book. It's subjects are from this wilderness age; mountains, hills, floods, grass pestilence, trees, and so on. Happiness then can only come from the coming of King, for in Christ not only Israel, but all the nations of the world will be blessed. This then is the theme of the book, as it is written in Psalms 96:11.

This Psalm was written for the comfort of the church, the body of Christ that is in the wilderness. For those countless souls that would die in that wilderness before the return of Christ, as set forth in the prophesies given in His Word. So just as the book of Numbers was written at the close of that 40 years of Israel in the wilderness, this fourth book of Psalms is written for the close of this dispensation that we are now living in. Just as the Israelites entered that promise land, and saw and tasted of all the riches that God had promised them, so today we look forth to the end of this wilderness of this earth age of the flesh, to those rewards promised to the faithful, and the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Just as the righteous will have rewards, so also the wicked will receive the rewards for their wickedness at His coming. God promised the Israelites that they would see the wicked receive their rewards, and the did witness all the people of that wicked generation die off right before the young righteous eyes. Before they entered into the promise land, all souls of the wicked had departed their flesh bodies, and did not cross over and enter into the promise land.

So if Psalms 91 be of the "Psalm of Moses" then all the Scriptures quoted in our Lord's temptation; even that which the evil one tried to quote, were from the writings of Moses!
